I, Karl, am writing this description. Scrabble is the bane of my existence. Tonya schools me in it ever... single... game. I don't know why. I am literate. I have a decent vocabulary, but she beats me in almost every single game. Scrabble is part crossword puzzle, part chance, and a lot of strategy. Join Karl and Tonya from WhenItWasCool.com to talk about one of our board game favorites- Scrabble!

Join When It Was Cool on this new series following the chronological history of The Batman from his debut in 1939 through history. This is not a documentary series about the creators and artists (though they are mentioned) but instead is a study of the character of the Batman himself and the changes he has gone through over the years. Episode one takes a look back to 1939 and the debut of Batman in the pages of Detective Comics.

It's one of the biggest television shows in history! Today at When It Was Cool, Karl reviews Episode 1 Season 1 of Star Trek from 1966. Now Karl is admittedly a bigger Star Wars fan than Star Trek fan but he tells us that he really enjoyed episode 1 of Star Trek. This episode in interesting, in that, it is actually closer to a horror or Twilight Zone episode than a sci-fi movie. We meet Captain Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Sulu, and others for the first time and learn a little bit about them. Join When It Was Cool for some fun Star Trek talk on this Wednesday retro TV review!
