Body Heat
The first time I saw it I was blown away, but I had such a burning desire to see it again I stayed for the next showing, just to see if they had played fair with us. And they had! Every clue is there. It is all spelled out. You would have to be as dumb as Ned Racine not to see it coming.

I have the exact opposite reaction to ET. The first time, I was all caught up in it and loved it. When I watched it the second time, I realized I had been raped. I despise the movie today.

I've seen every Kubrick film, and the only one I liked on first viewing was A Clockwork Orange. I thought every other one was rubbish. Then I watched them again and realized they were masterworks. With two exceptions: The Shining, which I think is brilliantly made, and a terrific horror film, but I dislike because it

Frances Sternhagen?

I can't wait for next season.
OJ Simpson. Robert Blake. Christian Brando. Claudine Launget. Phil Spector.

Wink Martindale rules!

Lorne Green
I just got that!

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich with bacon and lettuce. On wheat toast. Best with strawberry jelly.

Bart Maverick
Those who didn't live through it can't understand how soul-crushing it was to tune in to Maverick and find out it was a Bart episode.

Ponch and John?

Spenser and Susan Silverman.
They are immutable.

Oh no, Janet. There are many men who grew up watching Nora/Myrna on late night TV. She looms large in our mythology.

If they had kept Tuvix, I might have kept watching the show. He was a much better character than the other two combined. Wait. I mean…

Tony vs Ritchie.
A lot of what happens in season two feels like a rehearsal for seasons 3 and 4.
