The semicolon is the punctuation mark English teachers love and students avoid out of fear. You can go your entire adult life without using one correctly and nobody will notice; the catch is that the first time you do use one, everyone assumes you're showing off.

He was deservedly inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for his solo work back in 1994, and he made it in a second time when the rock band he was part of was inducted in 2012.

Retro Rewind: On This Day

32 years ago TODAY, a dancing lobster, Ear Boy, and a crew of kid comedians took over Saturday nights when "All That" premiered on Nickelodeon in 1994!

Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell were the breakouts, but Lori Beth Denberg's "Vital Information" deadpan and Josh Server's character work carried just as much weight. "Everyday French with Pierre Escargot" and "Good Burger" ran on a loop and turned SNICK into must-see TV. The show ran for 10 seasons, launched "Kenan & Kel" and "The Amanda Show," produced a "Good Burger" movie, and launched Nick Cannon's career.

What city was "Perfect Strangers" set in?

TV has no shortage of odd pairings (Oscar and Felix, Mork and Mindy, Lucy and Ethel, all of the Golden Girls). It's a trope as old as TV comedies themselves, but "Perfect Strangers" really pushed that idea pretty far. The '80's sitcom paired a simple American bachelor, Larry, with his distant (and I mean VERY distant) cousin, Balki, from the Mediterranean island of Mypos. What city did these mismatched cousins call home?
