Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsWhatever happened to The 700 Club?
When DUers hit 700 posts, they were put into a kind of limbo/pergatory until they reached 800.
Much hilarity ensued.
We were all younger then.

(54,256 posts)In production since 1966, it is one of the longest-running television programs in broadcast history. The 700 Club can be seen weekdays in 96 percent of U.S. television homes[citation needed], and has an average daily audience of nearly 1 million viewers[citation needed]. It is currently hosted by Pat Robertson, Gordon P. Robertson, Terry Meeuwsen and Kristi Watts. For the past few years health reasons have caused Pat Robertson to step down on a regular basis and he now only hosts when able. Gordon P. Robertson is currently the regular host.

Pat Robertson was right behind me when I voted in November, lot's of people coming up to him and shaking his hand. I just kept my mouth shut.

(1,975 posts)Before Glen Beck checked into the funny farm he had a local AM show here in Tampa. He used to have a bit that spoofed the 700 club. Started out like, "34 floors below the 700 club, its the 666 club with your host Satan". I almost want to say his show was funny and not all that political, but I might be remembering it wrong.
