My first thought when the rain started to come down hard was that Candace would soon get cold and start shaking, making it difficult for her to hold on. It almost seemed like she anticipated the same thing and just gave up.
It's best watched in production order. The series was syndicated in the U.S. so there is no air date order. To save money, only a limited number of 16mm prints were made and they were "bicycled" from station to station. Therefore, different stations got different episodes at different times so...
Sad, sad news. Darren McGavin has left us. Maybe Universal will see fit to honor his life and acting talent by giving this series a much deserved DVD release. You will be missed, Darren. When it comes to my list of favorite actors, you've always been near the top. May your work live forever.
My use of "infamous" was referring more to the content of the episode. Matt went well beyond his usual schemes in that episode and got in deep. The fake band he created seems to give the episode a notoriety that non of the other episodes have. For some reason, a lot of people remember that band...
Oh, yeah. I'm definitely with you. This show was pure genius and Jason Bateman and David Garrison were perfectly cast as Matthew Burton and Norman Lamb. With their continuous efforts to outmaneuver each other, one never knew who would come out on top until the very end of each episode.
If the...
John, I'm glad to see someone besides me remembers this show. I absolutely loved it at the time and would snatch up a DVD set in a heartbeat. I would also pick up Just the Ten of Us and Out of This World. There's another '80s syndicated sitcom that you didn't mention that I would love to see...
Same here. I always thought My Three Sons was much more interesting after Katie (Tina Cole), Barbara (Beverly Garland) and Dodie (Dawn Lyn) were added to the cast and have always preferred the problems the teenage Cleaver brothers got into over the little kid troubles. For the same reason, I...
Three of my biggest wants are Mission: Impossible, The Wild Wild West and Rawhide--all of which have been announced as strong rumors for 2006--so I guess I'm in luck! Outside of that, I would really like to see the studios finish a few classics that they already started and have subsequently...
Gord, the episode layout (just 2 one hour episodes per side) strongly suggests these discs are DVD-10s (1 layer per side), in which case why don't they just use DVD-9s (2 layers/1 side) and save people the trouble of flipping the discs over? Anything to make life more inconvenient for their...
It's amazing how many outright lies and fabrications they managed to pack into just one article. I grow weary of corporations constantly feeding us the most lame, transparent lies to cover for their ineptitude and inadequacies, and then having the audacity to feign bewilderment when the public...
This is exactly why I'm so fed up with Universal. I'm sick to death of them trying to make TV shows play like movies. TV shows are supposed to have occasional pauses. That pause adds to the tension when something exciting happens just before it. The background music just before the pause is...
Damn! Universal went and did the one and only thing that would keep me from buying this set. We begged them for months to leave those bumpers intact and they essentially just flipped us off in return. I've had it up to here with Universal's chronic editing of TV shows. They've proven time and...
YES! When this series aired locally back in the '80s, I used to look forward to the commercial break just to see that bumper. The accompanying background music rocks. Universal had better include them or I'm going to be royally pissed--so much so that despite my love for this series, I will...
I'm not sure I liked the CGI Gorn either. Couldn't they have at least made it look a bit more like the 1966 version? The one thing I definitely didn't like was that they made it much too quick in it's movements. In Arena, it was established that the Gorn, while strong and cunning, was slow...
I've always heard that the correct pronunciation is FORT, yet forTAY is what everyone seems to use. On the assumption that the majority are ignorant and/or misinformed, I always use FORT myself since the dictionary lists it as a valid pronunciation. I've never been looked at strangely for doing...
I kept thinking "it has to be Janu" because of the huge face time she had, but it seemed so certain it would be Stephenie going into tribal council. I was beginning to think Burnett had managed to really pull one over on the viewers by giving this week's ousted survivor next to no face time. I...
For a second there I thought Janu was going to escape having her torch "Ostened" but then Jeff proved me wrong. Did anyone else notice how much Tom was steaming when they brought back food for the others and Janu and Caryn started eating it? That's the closest I've seen him come to losing it...
Trump was a real hoot during tonight's boardroom. I couldn't tell if he was trying to be funny or if he's just demented when he said "When [Richard] Branson came after me, I killed him. When [Mark] Cuban came after me, I killed him." LOL. Yeah, right, Trump. In your dreams. Branson is 100 times...
This is a great series and I remember it fondly from its original run. I too wish Universal would get the remaining seasons out. I've been through the first season more than once and am hungry for more. I'm not sure why the second season hasn't been forthcoming. Were sales of the first set...
I don't know, but it might be true. I think what these sources were doing (and what the replies in this thread have failed to take into account) is comparing the ratings of the original broadcasts. Like Star Trek, Gilligan's Island didn't really make it big until it hit syndication. The Real...
I will be picking up the B&W set. No colorized abomination for me. I hope Sony is committed to releasing the second season in both versions as well and not just going with whichever sells best for the first (which I fear will be the colorized format). I'm a little disappointed with the text...
I totally disagree on several points. (1) Trump specifically replied to Stephanie's reasoning by saying that no apology was necessary. This means he thought it was just fine for them to abandon the obligation altogether and just leave the construction crew wondering where their lunch was. And...
Bwahahahaha. When Trump scolded Stephanie last night for not ignoring an obligation because it had become inconvenient, he essentially announced on national TV that anyone who makes a deal with him can expect to get screwed. If fulfilling his end of the deal later becomes inconvenient or...
Can this train wreck of a show get any worse? It says a lot when the three most unprofessional people in the boardroom are named Donald, Carolyn and George. Someone needs to seriously tell those three to grow the hell up. Stop with the snide remarks and taunting already and just discuss what...
I've heard the same thing many times in the past. But the "accessible to occasional viewers" bit doesn't seem to be holding up over the last couple years. The show has become more and more serial in nature and, this season especially, if you miss episodes it becomes increasingly difficult to...
This show's predecessor, Earth: Final Conflict, also had a radical change of direction in its fifth and final season and I found the result to be an unmitigated disaster. However, my reaction to the change in direction of Andromeda is quite the opposite. This season has been a breath of fresh...
