"Little Star" Was The Weirdest Show You Probably Don't Remember

By Meg
Growing up, we had a lot of kids show to watch. Some great, some not so great. One of those "not so great" shows was something called Little Star. It was an...odd...mix of both animation and terrifying puppets. The opening credits take you through space, where the planets are actually fruit? And a dog? Because that's OBVIOUSLY what happens in space. Even on IMDB there's limited information on this show.

10 Wacky Grooming Products From the '70s

By Meg
The 1970s gave us a lot in the way of fashion sense. I'd like to think us baby boomers were pretty savvy in what we chose to wear and accessorize with. I'd LIKE to think that for hair, as well. But we all know I would be wrong. There were...just a lot of big waves and big curls and big mullets. BIG mistakes. Hair, of course, wasn't the only thing weird about the 70s.
