"America's Most Smartest Model dangles $100K in front of male and females who believe they boast the best combo of bod and brains"
I just hope Jael isn't one of the contestants.

100K is the grand prize? Just dangle a gym membership in front of their faces and I'm sure they'll get the answer on the spot!

Proper grammar is not a requirement for winning the prize, entering the contest, or naming the show.

"Quick! What's the capital of New York?"
"Uh, Wisconsin?"

Old Skool with Terry and Gita features onetime movie star/ex-wife of Howard Hughes Terry Moore, 77...
If you're my age, you remember Terry Moore from two things:
1. The original Mighty Joe Young
2. The three-part Joker-Penguin team-up episode of Batman. The Joker tried to feed her, along with Batman and Robin, to a giant clam. Yes, I said giant clam.
Another little bit of tid: She's the mother of Grant Cramer, who had two different contract roles on The Young and the Restless (Shawn Garrett and Adam Hunter) and was in the movie Hardbodies.
Okay, enough useless trivia. Go back to your productive lives.

Uh, er, I'm not that old...I, uh, watched Batman in reruns on Nick-at-Nite when I was 10 in 1995.
Got that?
I was 10 in 1995.
I just want to make sure we're all on the same page here.

• Danny Bonaduce's Child Star finds the grown Partridge kid mentoring an up-and-comer's stage mom or dad.
Can't believe Danny Bonaduce and mentor are being used in the same sentence.

Okay. You got me. I'm old.
Batman is one of my all-time favorite shows.
Don't feel bad about remembering the giant clam, Matt. I remember even more embarrassing minutiae about the show.
I admit it -- I'm a Batman geek.
I think I have practically every episode memorized.
More Batman trivia:
Suzanne Pleshette was the original choice for Catwoman, Jose Ferrer for the Joker, Robert Morley for King Tut and Mary Ann Mobley for Batgirl. (Actually, I believe I'm right about Morley -- I'm at work and my source for verifying that is at home).
The Puzzler two-parter featuring Maurice Evans (Samantha's father on Bewitched) was originally intended to be a Riddler episode titled "A Penny for Your Riddles" (Part 1)/"They're Worth a Lot More" (Part 2), but was changed because Frank Gorshin was unavailable.
NBC decided to pick up the show for a fourth season after ABC cancelled it, but it was too late -- the sets had been taken down and would have been too expensive to reconstruct.
Okay, okay. That's enough. (Sorry -- I can get carried away sometimes.)
Man, I wish this show would come out on DVD!!!
