These shows included, "McGuyver", "Night Rider", "Perry Mason", "Matlock", "Colombo", "The Incredible Hulk", "The Six Million Dollar Man", and "The Bionic Woman". Yes, I know, really old television programs, but they ( Read more... )

I just signed on to AOL.com to check my e-mail (I have my break now) and I saw a few white shirts that were being sold at various stores and when I looked at the prices, I was just like, "NOOOO!!!!"
