He partnered up with Columbo once. Wish he'd been a recurring character.

Odd choice for a remake. I didn't think it was very well known.

People are always slamming the sequel, but I think it is reasonably fun as well. Neither film really wows me, but they're a good time. I do love the soundtrack to Fletch - great synthesizer stuff from Harold Faltermeyer.

I'm surprised that there would be enough physical media coming through a thrift store that there would be reason to go multiple times a week. Especially with everyone turning to streaming for the last decade. You must live in an ideal community where physical media fans with good taste are...

Wow! I need to shop at your thrift store.

Thanks! I guess I forgot about the longer episodes. Or maybe didn't see them? I remember Grievous showing up, but don't remember him talking. I don't pay too much attention as to what Lucas or Disney think is or isn't canon, which seems arbitrary and motivated by the marketing strategy of the...

Your friend may have been talking about the original 2D animated Clone Wars series, which is quite brief and has no dialogue as I recall. It is also interesting but mostly just action set pieces.

Great choices! I have all of those except Munsters, which isn't really my thing. Also have Rockford Files and Miami Vice on blu-ray. Chips really is comfort TV to me. Easygoing but also plenty of action. And you get a pretty good tour of LA.

I'd love to see a TV series based on the freewheeling exploits of Luke, Han, Chewie and Leia in the Marvel comics between New Hope and Empire - roaming the universe and getting into trouble on all manner of strange planets, plus occasionally tangling with the Empire.

All of that discussion makes me look fondly back at A New Hope, when the Jedi were important but only one among multiple plot elements. Since the prequels they have become way too central to the storytelling for my liking. Which I guess is a big part of the reason I have enjoyed the...

Andy Griffith looks like he's about to hurt someone.

Heh, I love that "Four for four" tune. Very goofy but so catchy. As for Pryde of the X-Men, the animation is superb. I think Toei Animation was involved, the same studio that worked on GI Joe. Only this time they really pulled out all the stops. Apparently Marvel declined to produce the final...

But... The Red October appears a lot in The Hunt for Red October.

By your description, I believe you're thinking of the 2006 anime-style series Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes which aired on Cartoon Network. I never saw much of that. The 1994 series has more conventional FF character designs. I agree that WB's DC series were a clear cut above Marvel's...

That parent was a lot more polite than I would have been. :biggrin:
