There's also "Nope, still not gettin' it" from Fight Club.

Network TV would be mostly black-and-white for a couple of years after TZ was cancelled. Patty Duke wrapped in '66 I think, and that was never in color. But you're right that the show wouldn't have thrived in the color era. And byt this point it was being ground down by a number of behind-the-scenes problems.

The so-so X-File "Sanguinarium" had a similar premise too.

I first saw it sometime last year on one of the digital sub-channels in my area, and I didn't care for it. But whether I'm in the majority on something or - as is often the case - not, I do like the fact that there are a range of opinions.

Ralph and Alice loved each other, and that was pretty much the only thing that made their lives livable. The fact that Joe has a transportation job might be a reference, but the characters aren't rendered with the same kind of affection.

It's kind of odd from today's perspective, when we have such an array of video toys to amuse and distract us, to think that there could have been TV addicts whose sense of reality was distorted by the media back when you had to fiddle with rabbit ears to maybe get five channels. But of course there were documented…

In "Queen of the Nile" I do sort of like that Herrick seems to be besotted with Pamela, and then it turns out that he's still working on a story. I guess that feeds into the "just smart enough to get himself in trouble" thing. If he had no inkling at all that her life story was a pack of lies, or he ignored…

It's funny that you mention The Lockhorns, because it almost seems like Martin Goldsmith wrote a pilot script for a TV adaptation and accidentally sent it into The Twilight Zone. But no, Wikipedia and Don Markstein both confirm that Leroy and Loretta didn't make their comic strip debut until 1968.

This movie has never gotten a lot of love but it is one of my favorite Williams roles. The very salesmanish desperation gives it a certain texture. Also love his telling Robbins, "It's not easy. It's never easy."

As ann03 noted above, the whole episode is posted on YouTube. In fact at least one user seems to have posted about the entire series, at least for now. The sound on the opening montage is kind of muted but the rest of the episode is fine.

Not as well known, but "The Suitable Surroundings" is a neat story as well.

Yeah, going out of your way to seem like a teen or twentysomething is one of the best ways to lose the respect of people who are actually young.
I actually am in my forties, which is just one of those facts of life.

Daddy Warbucks threatens David with a gun. I think the "rich folks protecting their own" is pretty self-explanatory.

That's one of my favorites too. I actually have read Anne's Agnes Grey and liked it, although I haven't gotten to The Tenant of Wildfell Hall yet.

No, you're on drugs!

Anne does seem savvier at 43 than she was at 18. She's held back by bitterness and drunkenness, and anyone who grew up with money will get a nasty shock when they lose it all. But she seems like if she stopped looking back and dealt with the present she might have the resilience to pull through.

Today I rewatched "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" on YouTube. I saw it previously in my teens, when one cable channel or another had gotten the rights to show it in a once-in-a-lifetime basis. (It was a different media landscape back then, obviously.) Since I love the work of Ambrose Bierce, I've read and…

I have a feeling that David's being not such a great husband came as more of a surprise to audiences back in 1964 than it does now. He's writtent to be romantic and defiant and passionate, all the things that Annie wants in a mate. And he does have those qualities. But even in the flashbacks to 1939, he also seems…

That sounds like an interesting story. I'm not sure how to go about looking for it, but if I ever come across it I'll give it a read.

Polly Purebred. Lovely character. Her voice was done by Norma McMillan, who also has a couple of well-known boy characters: Casper the Friendly Ghost and Davey from Davey and Goliath.
