My cable company has just added MeTV to our package. The little kid in me forgives them for some of the crap they show if only because of the chance to see other crap from my childhood that I still remember fondly.

When I first saw Raiders, I wondered about that too. First, I figured it was just because they NEVER kill the hero in the pulps and that Lucas and Spielberg were just being true to the spirit of the piece.

You bet. It wasn't until I cruised the net that I learned he was responsible for the lyrics in What's Opera, Doc?" though I should have guessed.

As to the "Trebek accepting it" part, because of the awkward pauses, I have always assumed that he had a judge or a panel of judges that would make a call like that and either talk to him through an earpiece or push a button that would cause something on his podium that would key him into whether or not the answer was…

Been laid up most of the weekend, so had to make due with mainly TV. Luckily, Boomarang's idea of celebrating Easter weekend is a Bugs Bunny marathon. Yeah, I know almost all of the classics are available on Youtube, but it's not the same thing watching it on a computer.

Yeah, you gotta know the basics of poker, but if you read the lyrics (he does sing it pretty fast, so it's easy to get lost), you can literally count the cards.

Not me, but I've met some who have. I expect that maybe a few more discovered him through "True Detective," and the version of "Lungs" that ended an episode of that one.

I too heard Rear View Mirror first, though I like Old Quarter more. One of the additions I did like on RVM was the addition of the fiddle. It really added something to a few of the songs, mainly "Lungs."

One of the great things about hanging around the Texas folk circuit during the '70a and '80s was hearing all the great Townes stories from Nanci Griffith, Lyle Lovett, Guy Clark, and just about everyone who was anyone around then. Back after Townes died, Rex ("Wrecks") Bell threw a couple of tributes to him at his…

It's kind of weird how often that opening gets mentioned as really, really good. Kind of setting the stage for what kind of film we're going to see.

Not to mention the show probably got 50 thousand dollars worth of free promotion for the price of a 20 thousand dollar car :-)

Never saw the live-action Scooby Doo when it first hit, but was surfing HBO a couple weeks back and just happened to come across the part where Velma was "possessed" and changed to that low-cut top. I was devastated, but in a good way.

Maybe The Price is Right is trying to steal some quick publicity…

They've built it back a lot since Katrina. Not quite as nice as Biloxi and the Mississippi Coast has been built up, but I was really surprised when I travelled through the area this past fall.

Yeah, but he had GREAT taste in dogs.

Yeah, and that line to Art about splitting the money with him? And threatening Rachel with her job even though he personally OKayd the arrangement?

No, I'm not forgetting them. But Vasquez and some of the Marshal's have incredibly selective memories
IMO.

They might be. But they're also expected to deliver 20 or so quality episodes instead of fewer than 10. Much tougher production schedule for a show that stakes a lot of the production values on sets, sfx, etc.

It can certainly be frustrating to be around people who live and breathe comics. Even those who have risen up to higher levels in Hollywood. It's what they know.

You must just read a lot of sections here with my posts on them if you see it that often. Though I kind of like JacksSmirkingRevenge's explanation too. Maybe the most creative guess I've seen on this site.
