It’s not being reported on any of the major sites, but the Irwin Allen News Network is reporting the death of Deanna Lund as of a few days ago. If true, we are down to only three surviving cast members of Land of the Giants. :( It was an association she was particularly proud of, to the point of...

The pilot was great. I wasn't ready for it to end, but I'm also committed to only one episode a night. It's too early to tell, but I hope Daniel isn't a complete ass throughout this. I don't really like the idea of him not learning a damn thing that stuck from Miyagi. But, it's really hard to...

The part that starts around 5:44, which should be the time I linked. May be hard to hear. It sounds like movie music to me.

And we’re back. Was the sequence at the end just Tom picturing what Red would do to him if he found out he had the suitcase? It felt like something more, like a flashforward or something. I know that’s unlikely on a show of this nature. Was that Seth Macfarlane singing the swing version of...

Does anyone know if Dallas was one of the early release NES test markets? I ask because I was a little shocked a while back when I learned that Super Mario Bros. was a launch title in the US. My experience was that I waited and waited with varying degrees of impatience for the game to be...

TVShowsOnDVD is reporting a new 12-disc set with the entire series plus the movie. What's notable is that the cover art (which I can't include at the moment) has them in their AC/DC and Metallica shirts. I could dream that this means music videos are included, but that's a rights nightmare that...

Alright, you primitive screwheads! Listen up! Season 2 starts on Sunday! Will someone be shot or stabbed? Will a deadite get a chainsaw lobotomy? Will the classic rock and the classy one-liners flow like box wine?

I decided to break out the Atari 2600, but I have an issue to overcome. I need a replacement power supply, which is easy. But, somehow the end of the a/v cable that is outside the 2600 got ripped off. I was gladdened to discover that it is not hardwired inside the unit, so I just unplugged...

There are tons of rabbits in my neighborhood. At night, I hear a soft little twittering everywhere. It almost sounds like a basketball game with the squeaky shoes. Could this be rabbits making these noises? If not, what else could it be?

I bought a Sony 830c and it looks good for the most part, but if I'm playing a game with a bright single color background (blue, in this case), I can see shadows here and there, like smudges. I can't see them during regular television viewing, and they probably wouldn't be terrible to most...

Wow, this is shocking to me. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/david-bowie-dead-legendary-artist-854364

I don't know if I'm the only one playing this game, but if not, I figure we could play each others' levels and maybe help each other increase our star counts. I'm right at 100, so I need another 50 to unlock the next set. Since I only have 11/20 levels, I don't need the next medal right away...

I really thought I was going to have to wait until next year for this, but it comes back Sept. 27. I'm assuming a greatly expanded season. I hope they don't drive it into the ground, but no use going into it with a negative attitude.

Can someone refresh my memory in regards to Quantum Leap with original music? My understanding is that all Netflix episodes are unedited without any missing or replaced music. But, they are missing scattered episodes throughout the run. Hulu has the complete series, but I believe their...

My mom's resisted updating her iPhone 5 to anything above the last iOS 6.x version. She's been complaining about Sportscenter no longer giving her updated news headlines, so I thought I'd delete the app and redownload it for her. Turned out the app was no longer available, so I decided to just...

The star of Can't Buy Me Love, and a featured player in The Explorers. She had a short career in Hollywood, but she left an impression. I confess I had a bit of a crush on her in the '80s. Definitely gone too soon.

Since around December, MeTV has advertised Carol Burnett at 11/10C. It shows up on the guide. It has never actually aired for me. It is always The Twilight Zone, even before Me advertised the return of TTZ to their network. I'm on Fios. My sister, who is on AT&T, sees Carol Burnett every night...

From what I can see, a bunch of posts from yesterday have been deleted. I know my bump in the Heroes Reborn post is gone, and I was reading a discussion in the Agent Carter thread that is gone. I'm guessing it's across the board.

It doesn't make sense to keep bumping the DVD release thread to talk about the show, so here is your place to talk about Theodore Cleaver and Co. Shocking moment tonight. Wally had a bad time at school with his new mustache, so he ran in the front way and up to his room. Beaver said, "Maybe...

I've got a pre-lit Christmas tree with a section that's out. The best solution would be to restring it, but they did a professional job and even wrapped the greenery around the light strings, and even the connections are heavily wrapped and hard to get to. It's not a fuse, because a small...

Is Jacqueline Toboni going to be a regular on Grimm? She's still listed as a guest star in the second episode of the season (which I haven't finished watching, so maybe she can't be a regular by the end, but I doubt it!). I like Trubel. I feel like when a key character is added several seasons...

This continues to be a great show, and Barry is still the business. The Barry-centric The Facts of Bleeping Life episode was much appreciated. The episode's title alludes to the one head-scratching complaint I have about this show, which is the requisite bleeped swear word. This could be a...

It felt a little bandwagony that they went that all in on Frozen, but I have to admit that the actress they got for Elsa couldn't be more perfect. She looks like the cartoon come to life. Anna and Kristoff seem to be nicely cast as well. It was a pretty good start, though the need to drag...

Ha! It's funny that this show doesn't even have a thread anymore. This season can pretty much be summed up as "people walking around aimlessly in a jungle." I haven't watched the latest, but who thought this was a good idea? It always seemed like Smallville would take a beloved DC character...

I went in with low expectations, but this has been a lot of fun. George Segal is a gem, as usual. I think Barry is the breakout character, though. That guy cracks me up often. They do seem to drop in some slang that feels more modern than the '80s, but that's pretty typical.

There's a piece of music I heard while watching Ghost Story (1981). It was also in a TV movie with Alan Arkin called Necessary Parties. The review for the latter said it was Corelli. I played the basic idea of the melody on an online piano (I don't know how to play a real one, and hitting...

I've been seeing these tiny little monsters in my bathroom this year. I've bombed twice after seeing them, but they're back around. They really creeped me out when I first saw them because I thought they were extremely small roaches, but now I'm not so sure. I just hate the idea of them...

This starts up tonight. It's your first reason to tune in to MTV this year.

I've got a leaky bathtub faucet. I know the hot water tap is the culprit, as I can temporarily stop the leak by turning it harder than I'd like to. The tap has a decorative cap on a long screw, but when I remove it, all I see is hole. I was hoping there'd be a screw under there I could try to...

Unfortunately, not every famous person who passes will get their own thread. This is for some of the rest. Frank Bank--Leave It To Beaver's "Lumpy"--died on April 13th at age 71. http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2013/04/15/reports-leave-it-to-beaver-actor-frank-bank-dies-at-71/...
