Neleive it or not,teh dude, there are people in their forties who comment here.
I also Def Leppard when the drummer had two arms.

My first R-rated movie…
…was "Slapshot". My mom wanted to see "the new Paul Newman movie"and my dad didn't want to go. She figured it couldn't be too bad if he was in it.

The coffee toast
There are two people who died in the seventies that I can remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I found out.One is Elvis, the other is Jack Soo.
I was 8 when the show premiered in 1975 and followed it through to its last episode. When "Hill Street Blues" started getting acclaim for…

@Redbeard and Earl Warren: Ditto on the Deer Hunter. I actually saw it at my local Showcase Cinema in 1979.I remember thinking "Are we going to see the whole fucking wedding?" Imagine sitting through that scene in a theater.

Jack T. Chick must be more fun.
It strikes me that another reason he hates the "Why an Aardvark"" question might that it infuriates him that two of those evil women creatures with their "feelings" had a hand in the gestation of his kajillion word, eighth wonder of the world masterpiece. And I can't help but wonder if…

Actually Space Nuts are pretty far out.

I was born a few months before TOS came out so I had only been aware of it a year or two before TAS appeared. That meant that I was seeing the animated epsisodes as I was still discovering the original series episodes, but TAS was the first Trek I followed as it happened. I can tell you that a lot of kids in 1973/1974…

Anyone else around during the Bicentennial remember going to reenactments of local battles and coming home with a cheap 13 star flag or some other parade crap?
Or Bicentennial minutes? I think my mom has still has a Bicentennial TV tray.
The Bicentennial the gas crisis and the Iranian hostages are the ones that it took…

1966.
And the first time I felt old like this was when I was at friend's younger sister's high school graduation party and one of the kids there called Husker Du "the band Bob Mould was in before Sugar". Shades of the Beatles and Wings in the seventies.

Two other great ones are "A Cold Night's Death", with Eli Wallach and "Spectre" with Gig Young.

"In a Lonely Place" is Bogart's best role and probably Gloria Grahame's too. A few years back I booked Pat DiNizio for one of his "living room concerts" and instead of talking about the Smithereens we talked about "In a Lonely Place" and Gloria Grahame.

"Loving Cup" always kills me, especially when the drums kick in on the chorus.

Rolling Stones, etc.
"Who's Driving Your Plane?"-B-side of "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby?"
"Child of the Moon"-B-Side of "Jumping Jack Flash"
"Everything is Turning to Gold"-B-side of "Shattered"

Adding to wolfmansRazor's comment, sticking up for the largely misunderstood Lynyrd Skynyrd
Art Alexakis thinks "Sweet Home Alabama" is a racist song? He's just making pandering,uninformed comments, like the "But I never liked disco" line at the end of "AM Radio".Of course disco was all over AM radio in the late…

Comprehensive discussion?
Zack, is there any reason that you coudn't devote a week to a follow-up discussing the three seasons as a whole? This has been my favorite AV Club feature and judging from the comments, I'm not alone in that. I think a lot of us would love to see you discuss TOS as an overall experience.

I thought it was especially touching that Walter Koenig seemed to be making a point of mentioning the people who helped him look for his son by name, as if he wanted to recognize the people who cared about Andrew . He showed an enormous amount of class at a terrible time. My condolences to him and all of Andrew…

The Collyer Brothers
One of the things that makes the Collyer Brothers story so fascinating is that they were essentially 19th century men in 1940s New York, living in a once grand 19th century home.
The New York City of the 40s had many such cultural relics in people, places and businesses. I'm curious to see how…

My next door neighbor has called me the wrong name for the last 8 years.I've never bothered to tell him that my name is not "Dean".

No shopper is safe when the Living Dead are around!
