Now in our fourth calendar year! PCR #194. (Vol. 4, No. 50) This edition is for the week of December 8--14, 2003.
If you are close to my age (43), you have pretty much grown up with Casey Kasem. The voice of Shaggy on "Scooby Doo," Robin on "Superfriends," Alexander Cabot on "Josie and the Pussycats" and countless other cartoons for as long as I can remember. He has also been the host of the syndicated radio program "America's Top 40" since 1970. This week Mr. Kasem announced that he is retiring from "AT40" after the last show this year. He will be replaced by "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest. Casey will still host the adult contemporary "America's Top 20." Thanks for many fond memories, both on the tube and on the air, Casey. And remember.......Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for cigars! SCREENING BAN, TAKE 3 BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, REDUX LOTR: RETURN OF THE KING Well, that's it for now. Told you it was a short one. Have a great week. See ya!
