The closest big city to Harlan county would probably be Atlanta, but I can see why the writers would prefer Detroit.

I grew up in Georgia. We said "called". "Named" sounds strange to me.

I just now logged in and saw that I had a reply and must defend myself. I may be white, I may be stupid, but I never watched Martin past the opening credits.

Well, I remember the first airing of this one with a group of friends(on thursday night! Paired with Martin I think) and we all loved it. I think that it wasn't until the fifth season that we started to find any faults and they were minor. The comet episode felt a little off. It's amazing how spoiled you can get.

I saw Raiders when it first came out and I was about 10. I'll always remember  coming out of the theater and passing the long  line to get in to the next show. Someone waiting said loud enough to hear, "Look at everyone smiling, it must be good." I looked around and they were right. Everyone had a particular satisfied…

When Washington Roebling was recovering from a severe case of the bends caused by building the Brooklyn Bridge, he occupied himself studying and collecting minerals. It's probably not an intentional reference but if any show would draw thematic parallels to a 19th century engineer, it's this one. If it was intentional…

In the early 90's I was dating a woman from England with two last names, but she was quite insistent that there was no hyphen. Apparently she had a great fear of being thought of as posh despite being merely upper middle class

Well…
Damnit.

"Would I like him as much if he were alive today?"
Interesting question, but if he were alive today, by no means would he be a blues musician. He wouldn't be Robert Johnson. Robert Johnson was formed under a culture that no longer exists and would be someone else entirely. The question for me is more about innovative…

" But you liked Matter of Perspective."
"That's not how I remember it."

I apologize for the poor editing in the above post. It's too early for me to be writing.

When I saw Boogie Nights in the theaters in Georgia, there was a big guy with a group of his friends that I didn't know sitting next me( they all had military haircuts as I recall so I asume they were from the nearby ranger base). During the scene where Hoffman's character is sitting in his car saying to himself …

Brush with Greatness
I actually saw Vincent Pastore at a wedding this past weekend. He stood up when they called for all "family" members to come up for photographs which made me laugh a little( apparently he was actually a family member). I was also amused by imagining him in character since it was a hipster…

I would vote too low. Then again I was in my early teens when these issues came out and was profoundly affected by them in that early teen way. Exactly at the time I was starting to get bored with comics these came along. Nostalgia aside, I still have to say A- at least.
