No 'Boo-yah' for you

Mojoe Retro blog on TV Week.com (linked here) explains how NBC plans to air a special on Tuesday, May 26 (8 p.m.) called "Best Catch Phrases" in TV history at the Paley Center for Media.

The blog points out that a similar attempt to do this by TVLand produced a Top 100 of TV's "quotes and catch phrases" that, for some reason, included Al Michaels' "Do you believe in miracles!" from the 1980 U.S.-USSR Olympic hockey game. It's no "Kiss My Grits," but the rough translation from English to Russian is probably how that Michaels' phrase is still remembered in Moscow.

No where on that list included any of the ESPN "SportsCenter" honeys. Thankfully. And perhaps they won't rear their ugly verbage on this special, yadda, yadda, yadda.
