Star Time #200: Can You Dig It
We did it, sports fans! Star Time made it to 200 episodes! We're done with the bush leagues! We're done making your coffee-and-donut runs! We're finished cleaning your bathrooms (which we never did anyway)! And we're absolutely, 100% done using the royal "we"! To commemorate this occasion, slip on your windbreakers and enjoy this week's episode, featuring just a handful of our -- I mean, MY favorite Star Time classics. Yes, it includes the song about the shark. We Won't Forget. I mean I Won't Forget. Damn it.
