Academia Waltz
I will plop lucre for these if they also bundle the Academia Waltz strips in Volume 1. If anybody who lives inside my computer has any info on this, I for one would love to know.

Yes, High Society with Jean Smart and Mary McDonnell(!) in a sitcom(?!) Sadly, I think we're about to follow the pattern of repeated, woeful Americanized remakes of Fawlty Towers…

Sorry, my link seems to "malformed", according to YouTube. Please copy 'n' paste instead.

The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh
Thank you for the passing mention of "The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh" (aka Dr. Syn), but to describe the character as a "Robin Hood-eqsue vicar" really doesn't begin to get at how dark it is, which is even more surprising as it was produced for Disney in the early '60s (and McGoohan's

Why does everything in Defiance feel so doggedly familiar?
Didn't Andrzej Wajda do a movie about this? Not "Katyn", but something else, a long time ago?

Hmm. Liquid Sky, perhaps? Same era, kinda the same ethos…

Things Mr. Goggins should have the opportunity to do…
1) A Coen Brothers movie. Why the hell hasn't he been in a Coen Brothers movie yet???
2) A lead villain in a big budget flick. How about the Slum King of Baltic Avenue in Ridley Scott's Monopoly?
3) Him starring in anything directed by Abel Ferrara and written by

I'm not bothering with this…
…but somebody call me when Zac Efron turns up as a young Cmdr. Koenig in a re-imagined Space: 1999.

But the sequel I really wanna see for "A Man Called Flintstone" is "The Prisoner" except it's starring Fred Flintstone as Number Six.

Hmm, I see now that "The Prisoner" would have offered some good firsties possibilities. Shame on me for not seeing them, but then again, I tend not to look for such things.

Ummm…
Did we forget all things McGoohan-y?

MORE QUESTIONS
Please ask Mr. Ryan about his views regarding the (perceived) inseparability of shows and their creators/runners, such as the current situation with Matthew Weiner and "Mad Men".

When he should have used his what?

Peter Sellers' French accent in those "Panther" crime dramas makes those movies so implausible for me…it's like he's not even trying…

I was just thinking about John Houseman coming out of a swimming pool.

Certainly not a great movie, but…
…Doug Trumbull's "Brainstorm". Quite relevant, but certainly easily dismissible in comparison to the films listed here.

Esoterica
For chuckles, I'd throw in Samuel Beckett's "Film" and Stan Brakhage's "Act of Seeing with One's Own Eyes". Both deal with a lot of the issues brought up in comments.

I believe that Kraft recently produced a banana-flavored peanut butter, although I might be mistaken. I know that they recently made a chocolate-flavored peanut butter, which I purchased in the hopes of reliving my childhood love of Kraft's "Koogle" peanut butters with added flavor, which included chocolate, banana

I believe Criterion has a requirement that the existing print source material must be of a certain standard before they'll consider a release. A few years ago there was a restoration of the Apu Trilogy, from the best available elements — funded in part by Ismail Merchant — and Sony/Columbia-Tri-Star released DVDs

Films with one-letter titles. M, O, Z, H…and of course, Q.
