I think the '80s works for a TV show because it's the last time the world was simple. It was before the Internet really changed everything and made the world really small.
If you Google a list and just see all the movies that came out in 1984, they're classics, and they define that decade.
Anything that I love, I love to the extreme. I'm obsessive. If it's 'Star Wars,' if it's 'Transformers,' if it's the Flyers, I geek out.
That's what Flyers fans are all about. My favorite thing about Philly fans is booing their own team.
My favorite thing to do as a kid was pretend I was in the opening credits of a sitcom. As the theme song would play, I'd look up at the imaginary camera and smile as my name would flash on the screen.
My mom was always trying to figure out ways to make Hanukkah exciting and compete with our neighbors the Kremps, who always had these amazing blow-out Christmas parties.
Singing karaoke is my worst nightmare. But in the car, I rock out to anything Bon Jovi or Beastie Boys.
'The Wonder Years' family was the kind where everything seemed to be bubbling and simmering with the occasional explosion. There were a lot of things that went unsaid in that family. In my family, everything is said - on the surface, you scream and yell about it, and three minutes later, you're all friends.
My brother was a huge Tim Kerr fan. He loved the way Kerr would power to the net, and he related to that playing style.
I followed Evan's career through the '90s and went to many Lemonheads concerts in N.Y.C. Since he was my best friend's family, he always felt like my family in a weird way.
All of my family members have had moments where they're upset with me because I'll cavalierly write a story just to be funny.
In our house, there was a lot of yelling. It was everyone walking in on each other and very few boundaries.
