The Best Things in Life ...

well, TV Guide anyway.

Jack Davis


From a TV guide Nov. 22, 1975

In the world of anyjazz, the world's greatest illustrator/cartoonist: Jack Davis

This illustration from inside the prolific magazine depicts events featured on television that week. They include:
Dr. Zhivago
Steve and Eydie sing Gershwin
Valentino (Starring Franco Nero and Suzanne Pleshette)
Thanksgiving Parades
Zero Mostel in a Puccini Opera
An All Disney Night
Oscar Winning music with Jack Lemmon
Five days of Football (Fans will probably identify the uniforms)
Bernstein Conducts Tchaikovsky
News Special: Social Security – How secure?

And probably some other stuff that Davis just slipped in.

Monday - Remember "Frog Baseball"






In 1993, on MTV, today was the first day of the rest of their lives.

From humble beginnings on Liquid Television with a very short, short animation called “Frog Baseball” animator Mike Judge was signed by MTV to create a regular series. It began today.

Heh heh heh.

The boys giggled at anything they deemed as innuendo. They abused and overused many catch phrases of the day. “We’re there dude.” “Cool” “That sucks.”

They commented on music videos with language that just barely slipped by the censor’s scissors.

The series officially outlived its usefulness in 1997. But considering today’s tuneless, vernacular driven, visually propped-up “music” perhaps they should make a come-back. It needs to be pointed out to some of today’s “artists” that much of their production sucks.

Heh-heh, heh-heh.
