Television

Do you think you have something rare of value that could be of interest to American Pickers? How do you feel about being on TV? If you can answer yes to both of those questions, this summer could be your opportunity to get famous because the show is coming to Illinois and they're looking for valuables.

No one could find Kayla. She had been reported missing 6 years ago with her mother allegedly abducting her. Now, after being featured on "Unsolved Mysteries" on Netflix, she's been found safe and returned to her family in Illinois.

I grew up watching Gilligan's Island every day after school. One of the favorite characters on that show was Mary Ann played by actress Dawn Wells. If you were one of Mary Ann's fans, you should say thank you to Missouri and I'll explain why.

Here's one of those numbers that is hard to wrap your brain around. 16,000. That's a lot of anything, especially when it's the number of confirmed sinkholes in Missouri. How can that be true? Spoiler alert - it is.

You can generally tell a lot about a place based on how many times it's been featured on a certain law enforcement TV show. That's my conviction and I'm sticking to it. (no crime pun intended). If that's accurate, Missouri should be a little concerned about the number of times it's appeared on "Cops" and it's all Kansas City's fault.

Sometimes you learn things you can't explain and that's definitely true for this. Statistics show that a large number of people in California are choosing to move to Missouri. Let's explore this mystery.

Clint Bowyer was an entertaining NASCAR driver when he was in a car. Guy Fieri is almost always a riot on his Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives TV show. What happens when those two personalities combine? You get that fun time when they both nearly wrecked a Missouri BBQ joint.

You would think that having your diner featured on food celebrity Guy Fieri's TV show would be your ticket to the big time. Sadly, that's not always the case. Did you know there are at least 8 Missouri diners that Guy has featured that are now closed forever?

If you love comics, movies and wrestling, you'll want to save some dates in April as a Darth Vader, Marvel artist and WWE star are on their way to Hannibal.

I remember watching this movie for the first time just like it was yesterday. It was a movie about nuclear war that featured a Missouri family and it completely freaked everyone out.
