Sit down, Maddy.

My love for TV game shows started way back in the early 80′s, maybe even the ’70s. I remember walking home for lunch everyday in grammar school, making a sandwich and sitting in front of the tube for a half hour watching the 12:30 game show.
And I totally remember Dream House. The point being, obviously, to win a house. That’s a big prize, even for today’s game shows, so it had a lot of excitement. I was 12.
To have this as your favorite game show, OK. To have screen caps of it, hmmmm. To make a website putting it all together, awesome.
Thanks to Tim for the link.

It was like a dream, or I just wasn’t really paying attention, but Sunday night I was either playing with the boy or talking Jen (probably both) and I vaguely remember The Simpsons being on in the background and "Comic Book Guy" was on and I thought to myself "did he just say his name?" but i was too distracted and forgot about it.
Anyone who follows the show closely knows that he has never had a name, he’s just "Comic Book Guy" and I know and work with people just like him.
Well, I just happened to stumble across this article on tvguide.com that tells me it wasn’t a dream and he does have a name now: Jeff Albertson. Which apparently has no significance, they just wanted to be sly and slip in an unassuming name in the dialog as if no one would notice.
Not a huge deal I suppose but if nothing else, it’s another of life’s mysteries. solved.
