My cousin had the "Timex Sinclair 1000", but…let's just say I was not jealous. I had a TI-99/4A, but coveted the Atari 8oo (and later, the Amiga…drool).

My man! I wanted an Atari 2600, but I received an Odyssey2 instead. We also had a TI-99/4A computer, but games were expensive for that. Fortunately, my friend had generous parents — in successive years he got the 2600, Intellivision, and ColecoVision (my favorite), so I could get my gaming fix at his place. Of…

It's more that Diamondback had too much.

I agree, and I wish that had translated to actual screen-time in the same proportion.

Close, it was British sweaters.

I envy and admire you for being able to experience it. Although I grew up listening to all kinds of music, Kate's was the first music that I can say I loved, on my own terms.

He played the most intolerably smug FBI agent in cinema history in Torque — one of my favorite overlooked satirical action films (OK, so it's a niche category).

I hated the show with a seething intensity, but I always felt that Tim being treated like the village idiot was the only saving grace, because that is how a dimwitted chauvinist should be treated.

I've always figured that Night Court would hold up OK if it ran today…the humor was silly as opposed to topical, and the setting would still be familiar (it's not like the court system has seen any advancements since those days).

The only one of those early WB shows I wish I'd watched (to satisfy a long-standing curiosity) was Alright Already, created by and starring Seinfeld writer Carol Leifer. I think the series name alone gives it a pass.

I've watched almost the entire run. As stated by others, every episode has cinema-quality visuals, and so Hawaii looks absolutely stunning (duh). What's bemusing is that it makes Honolulu look like one of the most violent cities on Earth, when nothing could be further from the truth.

Thank you for clarifying this. I saw Return to Boggy Creek on TV when I was a kid, and while recognizing all of its B-movie shortcomings, I actually thought it was kind of charming. Maybe because the protagonists were kids my age.

This is an interesting one, because it is one of the few times where I read the book after seeing the film, and felt that neither one detracted from the other. The simple fact that the book was concerned with the funny papers while the film was concerned with animation, made them different enough to stand completely…

Absolutely. This is possibly my favorite King short story…and that is from a very long list.

Wow, you nailed the sentiment perfectly. Thanks for that.

"It's allll part of the show!"

I love this film, and I have gone far too long without seeing it. It nails the comedy and the historical context. I think anyone would enjoy it, but of course it works on a whole extra level if you have some knowledge of the real-life people and events.

I love this guy's work, and that's probably because I first learned of it here. But now I'm circling all the way back to "Stop telling me about this, A.V. Club!"

University of Colorado can beat that — Google "Alferd Packer Grill."
