Kate Isitt? I'd take Sarah Alexander way before her. She was in a short BBC series called Worst Week of My Life, too, that was good.

This will probably get shunted off to general chat, but what the hell? I'm bored. So, let's list some irrelevant things and have a conversation about them.
1. All Time Favorite Movie
2. All Time Favorite War Movie
3. All Time Favorite TV show
4. All Time Favorite James Bond
5. All Time Favorite Author
6. All Time Favorite Detective(TV, Movie, or Book)
7. All Time Favorite Book
That should be enough to get us started.
Yeah, everybody in every novel was homosexual if you listen to English profs. And of course, we must never forget Arnold Ziffel. He also had good taste in television.
Best TV detectives:
The original "N.Y.P.D"
T.V. series.
Mrs Peel affected the way I thought of women and my expectations of them forever after (brilliant, sexy, and tough).
I'm listening to the long version of Black Coffee in Bed by the Squeeze on my iPod almost full blast ... stoked!
Every wonder why, in that huge house, the Brady Bunch kids shared two rooms and one bathroom with 6 kids? At least June cleaned in pearls and a dress, Wally and the Beav I can understand sharing a room. What did Carole do? She had Alice at her beck and call, didn't have a job and did NOTHING. But, then she married 'Mike'. I guess I'd be strung out knowing what she knew.

2. All Time Favorite War Movie: Patton
3. All Time Favorite TV show: Any Star Trek Show
4. All Time Favorite James Bond: Never seen them all.
5. All Time Favorite Author: Too many to list.
6. All Time Favorite Detective(TV, Movie, or Book): Marg Heganberg (sp?) from CSI
7. All Time Favorite Book: Alies Colonial Marines Technical Manual.
Glad you're a Joe Friday fan too, onyx. I used to love his confrontations with hippies in the second version of the show. He had those freaks crying for their drugs inside of five minutes. Just the facts, ma'am. Did he ever change that sports jacket and skinny tie?
Kate Isitt? I'd take Sarah Alexander way before her. She was in a short BBC series called Worst Week of My Life, too, that was good.
Tara King was a pretty dismal replacement. I lost interest in the show at that point.
Yes, Mike's proclivities had not yet been revealed. (Although if Carole was watching "Medical Center" in the early 70s, she would have have learned of his sex-change operation.) But it was the same thing in the household on "Hazel." Hazel did all the work around the house, Mrs. B just sat around doing nothing except getting ticked when Hazel would flirt with the plumber. And they only had the one dorky kid. Where do you stand on Samantha vs. Jeannie for superpowers?
My favorite author. The late Shelby Foote.
It was my first broken heart when I saw the last episode with Diana Rigg driving off with her long lost husband. At least we now have videos of The Avengers where she is forever young.
if you liked Shooter, may I recommend "Generation Kill" and
"Masters of Chaos"
"Where do you stand on Samantha vs. Jeannie for superpowers?"
Definitely Jeannie. Only good thing other than oil that has come out of the middle east in the last 100 years.
1. "Casablanca"
2. "Zulu"
3. "The Prisoner"
4. Sean Conery
5. J.R.R. Tolkien
6. Sherlock Holmes
7. "The Return of the King"
I recall Steed and Mrs. Peel finally referred to each other by their first names. And passing Tara on the stairs, she told her that Steed likes his tea stirred counter-clockwise. Sigh.
Taxi Driver (Runners Up: Mean Streets, Sweet Smell of Success, Godfather, Saturday Night Fever, La Dolce Vita, Clockwork Orange).
2. All Time Favorite War Movie:
Anything NOT starring that closet-case John Wayne.
Just kidding. Apocalypse Now, which was largely written by NRA board member John Milius.
3. All Time Favorite TV show:
Kojak.
4. All Time Favorite James Bond:
The Spy Who Loved Me.
5. All Time Favorite Author:
Evelyn Waugh. Honorable mentions to F. Scott Fitzgerald, Kinky Freidman, Tom Wolfe, and Tom Sharpe.
6. All Time Favorite Detective(TV, Movie, or Book):
Book would be Sam Spade. TV would be Theo Kojak. Movie would be Tony Rome.
7. All Time Favorite Book:
Bonfire of the Vanities, was to New York in the 1980s what the Great Gatsby was to the New York of the 1920s.
Like, duuuude..
