How to achieve your childhood dreams

The following is a link from Prof Pausch home page. He simply loves the optimistic and magical response that F.P. Church provided to a little girl named Virginia in 1897. "Just because you don't see fairies dancing on the lawn doesn't mean that they aren't there. "

Jump the shark

For all those TV shows that stayed around a few too many seasons, there is now a web site. The interesting name of this site, jumptheshark.com comes from the futile attempt by producers of Happy Days to spur ratings in the last season. The idea was to have Fonzie water-ski and jump over a shark. That was the defining moment that pointed to the end of that show.

Hope you enjoy looking for your favorite shows and see if you agree with other voters in exactly when shows outstayed their welcome.
