Paired up with the story about the two of them going out on a date - or “date”, I guess - this becomes even more extra special creepy.

The Smothers Brothers’ show was cool since they didn’t care whose chain got yanked; they pretty much went after the network, the military, bigots, politics - anyone who was a deserving target.

Look up John Henry Faulk, a bit player on Hee Haw. One of my few heroes.

And I thought I was the only one who remembered that movie. I still remember the running gag about Avalon being “a SIC man”, SIC being the government agency he worked for.

I am stunned to this day that Les Poupées de Paris - the puppet show in question - actually got to be part of the World’s Fairs in New York 1964 and San Antonio 1968, and even after that the Kroffts did kid shows.

They weren’t, but the writers obviously were.

1964 here, and since there was not much else to watch back then, a bunch of these variety shows took up valuable gobs of our time. Sadly, I still recall them, these scars on the brain, these boils of memory.

This is one of the better finales up there, and I’ll put it with The Shield, Mad Men, Parks and Recreation, and TNG.

So, half of Babylon 5?

All I wanted to learn about life in the Milne household, I got from Alan Coren’s excellent column “The Hell at Pooh Corner”, from his collection Golfing for Cats (you know, the one with the swastika on the cover, since the biggest selling books at the time were on golfing, cats, and the Third Reich).

Great write-up. Now that you’ve finally succumbed to pressure and done Threads, my next vote is for Ladybug, Ladybug, which scared me as a kid so much I’m on the fence about ever seeing it.

It was still done after Chris Squire died, which was an insult. Some members of the band considered not showing up due to that.

There’s supposedly an animus against prog-rock groups (among others like metal); there have been only four admitted to the Hall in its existance: Pink Floyd, Genesis, Rush, and Yes, with Peter Gabriel in as a solo musician. While the Moodies influence might have abated over the years, in a fair and just world they…

Weird Al would have to be nominated, which will not go well with the RnRHoF board.

One looked like the Ocampa homeworld, another - referenced as an Andorian planet - seemed to have an asteroid deflector from “This Side Of Paradise”. Couldn’t be Andoria itself, since there was no snow and ice.

You could have prepaid for it at a rate of just over eight bucks a month ($100/year). A buck more than I pay for a Moe’s burrito on Mondays, plus tip.

After seeing the first three episodes (thanks to my pal Torrence) the first two eps seem written to be a money-suck. What Discovery has done in three episodes was done in two with the DS9 pilot (my favorite so far). It does make me wonder how extended other plot lines will be.

That means you haven’t seen “Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges”, a DS9 episode, which seems to go to the heart of everything that Discovery is about. And yes, it involves Section 31.

What about “The Prisoner of Benda” and “Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences”? Those, along with “The Late Philip J. Fry”, and solid gold.

Yeah, that was my thought - only one? I’ve been playing bass along with a bunch of his stuff today (when I should be working at home) and getting into songs like “You Wreck Me”, “Don’t Do Me Like That”, and “Built To Last”. And that’s the ones I know how to play.
