The streak is over. And we were so, so close.

What a memory! I'm impressed that you could remember Bill Engvall from so long ago. Every once in a while, though, I can do the same thing. Specific acts, etc. that stand out.
Nancy seems to love her craft--good for her. The thing I remember most about Axe Murderer was the poetry readings. That cadence is always stuck in my head.

@Sinbad: Funny, I looked it up to be sure but, yes, it was him. Even then he stood out from the other comics that would appear.

The cosby Show and Family Ties might get made today. But The Hogan Family would not.

Bravo Mike! I know nothing about the Engval Show, but you managed to make a damn interesting read talking about the state of TV today.
As for Engval, I do appreciate him more than the other Blue-Collar guys. I think he'd be better off to associate himself as more of a Tim Allen type than a Larry the Cable Guy type.

@Rob: Thanks! I agree. He is more of a Tim Allen.

I LOVED "Here's your sign" routine by dude. It's nice to hear Nancy and her experiences on this show and on others. Great article! Thanks Mike!

One other thing you could have touched on was her british accent in 'Three Men and a Baby'. Then again, I could have mentioned that to you when you asked us all for questions...

@Scraps: I remember I used to think she was British because of that.
