Bizarre Television Moments: Tom Hanks And Vanilla Extract

One could say that all of Family Ties is bizarre. A liberal father who runs a public television station with an uber-Republican son? Oh, the hijinks. That, and baby Andy has super abilities to grow four years in the space of one.

Despite the laughs, FT had its share of "very special episodes" and when they wanted to tackle alcoholism, they brought in a very young, very skinny, very tight-jeaned Tom Hanks to play the beloved Uncle Ned. This scene goes from funny to scary to uncomfortable to funny about eight times. Not to mention that Uncle Ned is so desperate for alcohol he downs a whole bottle of vanilla extract. Don't try this at home, kids!

First Look: Teen Wolf

MTV had this genius idea awhile back - take werewolves, which are totally hot right now and an old '80s movie and make it into a TV series. So, coming this summer is Teen Wolf, the television series. Yeah, that Teen Wolf.

Presenting the first look at Teen Wolf:



Ohmigod it's like so dramatic/romantic. If I were into Twilight (which I'm really, really not) I'd probably dig this.

I'd rather just rent this:



How cute is it that they use his real name in the trailer?

Anyway, anyone going to try the new Teen Wolf?
