Me. Not because of a love for his comedies or stand up but (showing my age) because of "I Spy". There is a long story behind this but the short version is that his super-smart secret agent Alexander Scott was one of my TV heroes growing up. Now I cannot watch it. On top of that "Hickey and Boggs" is one of my…

(Sorry - cannot edit original post for some reason) I meant is the question did the Grand Juries think that race specifically played a part in the original crimes, or is it did race specifically play a part in the Grand Juries' own deliberations and decisions? Thanks.

Sorry, I am unclear about something - is the question did race specifically play a part in the original crimes, or is it did race specifically play a part in the Grand Juries' deliberations and decisions?

Did anyone else think that the opening Weekend Update bit was (surprisingly) actually well written/hit the mark? Mostly asking because the audience did not seem too responsive.

Radio 1's Live Lounge, though I have never been clear if that is the official name of the show or just the name of a segment of the show it airs in (back when I listened to it Jo Whiley was the on-air person/it was in the Jo Whiley show).

Okay, somewhat tipsy, but watching ota tv I have just realized my life's ambition is to to be Rod Serling.

I apologize, but I genuinely do not understand? I wrote something, got it wrong overall* (more accurately had to have others point out how I got it wrong, cause I did not understand enough to get there on my own), and said I got it wrong. I am not clear how I am being "intellectually and morally disingenuous" (though…

Sorry, but I think I disagree with this. Going on only the article and not Anna's other comments (which I stupidly did not read but thrownatthewall was good enough to copy/paste one of them and show me) I stand by what I typed (though, and I know this makes no sense, it was/I am ultimately wrong). Anna's pointing out…

I did not, I was only going by what was in the article* itself and did not read the comments section. Thrownatthewall copied and pasted something else Anna wrote and, to simply copy my own words, if that is what she is apologizing for then I am completely wrong about what I wrote/I got it totally wrong.

Thank you for this. If this is what she is apologizing for then I am completely wrong about what I typed/I got it totally wrong (I thought it was only about the other article).

To try to block out everything for more than a few hours I am going to spend Saturday afternoon (then, joined by my good friend Elijah Craig, Saturday night) on the couch watching older, sometimes bad sketch comedies (think Tunnel Vision, Groove Tube, Kentucky Fried Movie, etc.), flipping between the hockey game (Habs…

(Not that my opinion really matters but ... )

Should have added that some of my friends have never met each other, have different belief systems (or none at all - I am currently agnostic for example), we are not part of some cult, with two exceptions liberal, different countries, different primary languages, Really the only thing they have in common is me and…

Odd question, only tangentially related, but I just want to see how much of an anomaly or freakshow I am; does anyone not have any divorced people in their circles of friends or their families? Discounting my ex, I am basically the only divorced person I know. My friends (all old like me) stayed together, married…

"... one week after a similarly ignorant grand jury made of Ghosts of Mississippi extras came to a similar decision ..."

This is going back twenty-five or so years but, yeah, there is nothing like having your child (in our case an at-the-time five year old) yell from the top of the stairs "ARE YOU GUYS SEXING?" to put the kibosh on some funtime (and to make us crack up). Though to this day it is still funny as hell to us.

Nightmare time (if I can embed the video). Here is (if it works) part two of an early sixties documentary called "World of Wax" covering the creation and destruction of wax figures at Madame Tussauds. Start at about the three minute mark to see the reincarnation cycle of the wax heads.

This is going back quite a few years (late fifties, early sixties) but they used to smash the no longer relevant (No longer interesting? Not sure how to phrase that.) figures then melt them down. Do not know if that is still the practice.

(Not that my opinion matters but ...) Because of my interest in anything Madame Tussauds related I clicked on the link. I swear that first close-up picture of the statue made me think more of Judy Garland during "Wizard of Oz" than Selina Gomez. If you had not told me it was Selena Gomez I do not think I would have…

Sad to hear. Though I have never read her books I did enjoy both the Roy Marsden and Martin Shaw "Dalgliesh" tv adaptations, as well as "Children of Men" (though I understand there were major changes). But were their only seven television productions based on her works? I would have sworn there were more (heck I…
