| | | | | Conan O'Brien: Encyclopedia II - Finnish presidential election 2006 - Election themes The main theme of discussion in the campaign preceding the election was the President's powers and whether they should be limited further. The Green League's candidate Heidi Hautala suggested that the President be completely stripped of all their powers relating to foreign affairs and foreign policy, but this proposal met with fierce resistance from the three candidates of the largest parties – Tarja Halonen, Matti Vanhanen and Sauli Niinistö. Halonen, the main left-wing candidate and incumbent President, has further indicated that the President's powers should not be increased either, since it w ...

| | | | | Conan O'Brien: Encyclopedia II - Television in the United States - History of U.S. children's television In the United States, most early children's programming originally ran during the late afternoon, or during otherwise-unused time slots on weekend mornings. As time went on, Saturday morning became the most popular time for non-educational children's programming, and by the 1970s, all three major US networks had a full schedule of children's programs running in this space.
At the same time, as locally originated live-action children's programming fell out of style with the network affiliates (who filled the slots with cheaper syndicat ...

In the United States, the TV broadcast industry can be divided into two distinctive sectors: local TV stations and national TV networks.

| | | | | Conan O'Brien: Encyclopedia II - Stanley Cup - Engraving on the Cup A unique feature of the Stanley Cup is the fact that, with few exceptions in the past, the Stanley Cup is the only trophy in professional sports that has the name of every member of the winning team engraved upon it. This has not always been the case - one of Lord Stanley's original conditions said that each team could, at their own expense, add a ring on the Cup to commemorate their Cup victory (the first year being an exception). Initially, there was only one ring, the one added by the Montreal AAA. Teams would engrave their names on that ...

| | | | | Conan O'Brien: Encyclopedia II - Television in the United States - History of television in the United States Television first became commercialized in the U.S. in the early 1940s, initially by RCA and CBS. A number of different broadcast systems had been developed through the end of the 1930s. The National Television System Committee (NTSC) standardized on a 525-line broadcast in 1941 that would provide the basis for TV across the country through the end of the century. Television development halted with the onset of World War II, but pioneers returned to the airwaves when that conflict ended.
There were only a few dozen stations operating a ...

| | | | | Conan O'Brien: Encyclopedia II - The Simpsons - Production and history of The Simpsons The Simpson family first appeared in animated form as shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show, with the first short "Good Night" airing on April 19, 1987. Matt Groening admits the reason that they were so crudely drawn in the beginning was because he could not draw well and the animators did nothing more than just trace over his drawings. The shorts were aired by the BBC in the UK the first time the shows were broadcast, but not subsequently, though some of them, including "Good Night", were included in a Simpsons anniversary episode. ...

| | | | | Conan O'Brien: Encyclopedia II - The Simpsons - Cultural impact A number of neologisms that started on The Simpsons have entered common usage. The most famous of which is Homer's saying: "D'oh!", which is referred to in scripts, as well as four episode names, as "annoyed grunt". D'oh is now listed in the Oxford English Dictionary, but without the apostrophe. "D'oh" is the accepted spelling, and is certainly the most common; the closed captions for the program (at least in the U.S.), however, spell it "D-OHH". Note: A much earlier use of the same expression, often similarly used to denote th ...

Another tradition dictates that immediately following the series-winning victory the captain of the winning team receives the Cup, and then is the first to hoist it overhead; the cup is then passed from player to player and hoisted by each member of the team as they skate round the rink, a tradition known as "skating the cup". This second ...

Stanley Cup - 1919 flu epidemic: Stanley Cup not awarded.
During the 1918-19 Stanley Cup playoffs between the Montreal Canadiens and the Seattle Metropolitans, several Canadiens players contracted Spanish influenza, part of a worldwide epidemic. The finals were cancelled after five games. The final game was never played, because Montreal players Joe Hall, Manager Kennedy, Billy Coutu, Jack McDonald and Edouard Lalonde were hospitalized with influenza. Joe Hall died four days after the cancelled game, and the seri ...

2000s - United States.
Fashion slowly becomes less grungy and more excessive as the wearing of flannel by people under 30 declines and acid-washed jeans and shaggy hair become again commonplace for boys and men. For girls and women hoop earrings, originally popular in the 1980s and early 1990s, return to style circa 2004.
Wearing baseball caps backwards peacefully falls out of style, in favor of wearing them sideways or forwards. Sunglasses begin to become less widespread as a fashion statement, un ...

| | | | | Conan O'Brien: Encyclopedia II - 2000s - Criticisms of the decade The 2000s are so far not a highly regarded decade by most people in the world as many find the 1990s to have been a much more prosperous time and look fondly upon earlier decades such as the 1960s and 1980s.
While not a criticism per se as many people still love the 1990s, some others look down on the decade for upholding so many tired 1990s fads, fashions, and music genres. Quite interestly, many people who are fond of the 1990s dislike the 2000s because they perceive them as similar to the 1980s for various reasons, mostly relating to politics but also to the 1980s nostalgia wave tha ...
