    What car do you want to own?

    My Cherokee Limited's mileage has mostly been around 22 mpg. 80% of my driving is around town so that doesn't help any. When I have been out on the expressway I can easily hit 24 mpg. I believe that part of my problem is that my engine is still tight. My Cherokee will be 2 years old on November...

    What car do you want to own?

    I bought and custom ordered the vehicle I want to own in the fall of 2013. A 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited, 3.2L, ADII with the 9 speed transmission / off road lifted suspension option. This vehicle has been a dream and I have not had any trouble with it coming up on 2 years now. The Uconnect...

    Lost In Space: The Complete Adventures (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Matt, if you check social media, people are blaming UPS and not FOX over damaged packaging. With the possible exception of a few die hard OCD collectors people are glad to get this in what ever shape. They will do the best they can with what they have. People who were paying attention got this...

    What annoys you?

    Home owner's associations. Mostly a bunch of little old ladies who have no idea what they are doing but want to play Hitler and tell others what to do and how they should live.

    The tide is turning on Apple Pay

    Why would they do that when they have the Red Card and Cartwheel programs that everyone can use and not need to have an expensive Apple product? I do have a smartphone but it is a Tracfone. To the average blue collar Michigan resident expensive iPhones and iWatches are only pipe dreams.

    Google Officially Launches "Fi" Cellular Service - Are You Interested?

    I'll stick with my Android Tracfone (Samsung Galaxy) that rides on the Verizon network. I have never paid more then $100 for an entire year of service. Coverage is great. Customer Service is great as long as you only use the Miami U.S. headquarters office. The best thing is it works great with...

    Assigned seating in movie theaters

    So we are out and on the spur of the moment decide to go to a movie, Whoops I guess that is out now because all of the good seats are spoken for. Guess I will vote with my wallet and just go to my home theater where you can choose your seat, come as you are, and when you want. Refreshments are...

    Mannix is Coming! (All things Mannix w/spoilers)

    I so understand what you are talking about. I recently retired after 31 years of public school teaching. I was so frustrated by legislators, administrators, and school boards who think they can judge a teacher's performance by student's responses to a standardized test. So a student can parrot...

    Home theater speaker brands

    Polks are very decent speakers. You get a lot of bang for the buck. The most economical place to get them is from Polk's outlet store on eBay. They also are quite frequently on sale at Best Buy and Newegg. Polk has sort of a strange setup. Their offices are in Boston, Massachusetts while their...

    Better Call Saul (AMC) - Season 1

    That scene was needed to show the similarities between Jimmy and his brother. Chuck had a break down and so did Jimmy. The difference though is that Chuck is wallowing in his and Jimmy is struggling on. In many ways Jimmy is the stronger of the two.

    Retirement this summer, any suggestions to relocate for my Golden Years?

    I have lived in Michigan all of my 64, soon to be 65 years. I have retired here and bought a condo/townhouse in Fenton. I love the change of seasons and all the things to do. I guarantee if you move from here you will be spending money and time to come back to here to take advantage of what...

    Dakotas is $34.01 at Overstock.com today although I preordered it there at $33.57 a few weeks ago.

    Temporary picture loss with big bass sounds

    You have forgotten about his speaker wiring and what it is running by or over. But hey, I don't claim to be an expert on everything, I only know what has worked for me.

    Temporary picture loss with big bass sounds

    Sounds like those speakers might not be shielded. Speakers near video need to be shielded.

    Best Blu Ray, DVD, CD Repair Machine for Home Use?

    As my disc collection is starting to grow into the thousands I am finding myself purchasing more and more used discs as that is the only way I can get some of the older OOP TV shows. Also, DVDs just naturally seem to erode faster. With that in mind I have been looking for a way to clean and...

    Bose CineMate 520 specs

    The reason for the lack of any information on Bose on any Home Theater enthusiast site, not just this one, is that most true Home Theater enthusiasts consider Bose inferior to other available equipment. You might want to go over to AVS and see the Bose negativity over there.

    Fugitive comes to DVD in a 33 disc set on Nov. 1st 2011

    I don't wish to get into another argument over Amazon vs. Overstock.com. For anyone interested Overstock.com is listing The Fugitive complete series preorder for $49.99 right now. Remember Overstock.com is like Amazon in that their prices change constantly. BTW, the Cheers complete series...

    Flaws Detected in Warner's Batman Season 2 Part 1 DVD set

    Someone always has to over analyze. Instead of being so negative why not appreciate what you have? We probably will never get a perfect set but I am happy to own what I have rather than a bootleg copy.

    Get Smart: The Complete Series: $43.81

    Guys, I really don't care where you buy your movies from as I have no vested interest in any of the retailers. All I am saying is that if you are interested in saving money don't blindly buy from Amazon without doing your research. Another thing cheaper at Overstock is the shipping program. When...

    Get Smart: The Complete Series: $43.81

    Get Smart is a fun series but this is not a good price. I bought this last November 2014 from Overstock.com brand new, shipped for $20.89. Amazon has very seldom been a price leader the past few years.

    TrueCar and Consumer Reports

    I am just going to throw this out. I had custom built for me a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited ADII 3.2L. It was Delivered 11/13. CR said they could not recommend it. I am 64 years old and it has been the best vehicle I have ever bought/owned. The vehicle I owned before that was a 2000 Chevrolet...

    Books You've Read 2015

    I am currently reading, "and now, back to mannix". This book was researched and written by one of HTF's own members, JoAnn M. Paul. Not only is it a great read about the retro TV show but the author does a great job of applying it to real life. I highly recommend it.
