No worries! There's no reason for you to remember who sings the theme song to this show.

TMBG played the theme song? Not Barenaked Ladies, who actually play it in the show?

A lot of those Saturday-morning matinees (which are generally movies from two or three years ago) are either free or cost just a dollar or two. So you get out of the house, give your kids the experience of going to a theater, and don't spend much money.

That's correct, and I really think it's because Disney has no idea what to do with all of the talk about periods.

They are absolutely action movies. They're about a bunch of people in an arena trying to kill each other.

You're obsessed with finding a new brain, but what you need is a new body.

The first three episodes of The Hour? How do you like it?

I think there was an assumption (with both movies, really) that the audience knows what "Planet of the Apes" is and that people understand this is one step towards that inevitable conclusion.

Oh man, I love The Hour S2 so much. The first one was good, but the night club plot in S2 is so much better than the spy plot in S1. Also Peter Capaldi, whose presence makes everything better.

I didn't find Dawn hard to follow at all. The opening prologue sets up exactly what how and why the world got to be in that state, and the backstory of Caesar and the other apes is doled out in a way that makes total sense.

I didn't watch it at the time (although I was certainly in the target audience - 8th grade when it premiered), but my wife introduced me to it a couple years ago on Netflix. It's really a lot of fun. I was pleasantly surprised (especially by Red and Kitty, who belong on the list of all-time great TV marriages for

I've always wanted to watch an entire film series in reverse order, and the release of/generally positive reception to Dawn of the Planet of the Apes inspired me to finally do it. I'd never seen any of the Apes movies, so I started with that one (a Wednesday matinee, but I'm putting it here anyway).

Sometimes, when I hear anyone say "Ho ho ho," I still think of [the son from Kate & Allie] saying it in that bored voice.

But it's so exciting to have him back for FRANK'S PLACE of all things!

Me too! I'm definitely going to make it a project to watch as many as I can before school starts next month.

I never saw the show as a kid (I was born in 1984), but I spent my whole childhood wanting to, for one odd and specific reason. Every year starting in 1987, we watched the same copy of A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS recorded from CBS, and it had this commercial in it -

These guys were all closer to Redd Foxx's complexion, as I recall.

In theory, sure. And I know there will be a group of us who stick around and keep commenting. But it's a relatively obscure show/cult, so I'm counting on that large readership sticking around.

TV Club Classic reviews have a nasty habit of starting strong and then dropping off, with people commenting on the first few reviews in droves and then running out of things to say about a show they mostly just have vague fond memories of.

Broadway, who seems like he's going to just be comic relief, but becomes such a wonderful, well-developed character. But still a funny one.
