    Jericho ongoing thread

    Wouldn't be the first time... There was a massive fan campaign to save LA FEMME NIKITA, which had been cancelled during its fourth season. The campaign ultimately resulted in an 8-episode fifth season, which most fans (in 20/20 hindsight retrospective, of course) now consider to have been...

    who started the whole "wait for it" line?

    Mr. Ed, a Zebra?

    Besides which, every single one of the "false" pages (including the one referenced in the original post) has a link at the bottom titled "More information about this page" -- and that link leads directly to the page which I referenced in the second post in this thread, which contains the FULL...

    Irony or bad luck?

    I just bought a new car -- took delivery on my birthday, March 14 -- and I absolutely love it. (Miss my beloved Thunderbird which it replaced, but my aunt bought that one, so at least it's still in the family and I get to 'visit' it as often as I want.) This past Thursday, I was at work (on...

    Mr. Ed, a Zebra?

    I didn't mean for what I wrote to come off sounding like it probably did... It's just that people often post outrageous or questionable things like this (usually in the AHL) with a "wink wink nudge nudge" sensibility, intended strictly as a joke, but I couldn't tell if your post was one of...

    Enough already Fox. Are we EVER going to see WKRP released?

    Thanks for the recap of the portion that you caught, Nelson!

    Enough already Fox. Are we EVER going to see WKRP released?

    From TSoD: Hugh Wilson and Randy Salas to discuss music licensing issues on radio at 2 PM (Eastern) today: http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=7256 Includes link to web broadcast. If anyone can listen and take notes, we'd love to hear the details. I'm just before heading...

    Mr. Ed, a Zebra?

    If you're purposely attempting to perpetuate a fairly well-known hoax and I'm pooping the party or spoiling the joke, I apologize in advance. That said...here's the real scoop, directly from snopes.com: http://www.snopes.com/lost/false.htm

    And some people are afraid to use their Credit Card Online...

    In addition, many credit cards today also offer the option of "virtual account numbers" which are transaction-specific, single use, disposable, and pretty much untraceable back to the consumer's real CC info. There are also "buffer" systems like PayPal which can be utilized with many online...

    Enough already Fox. Are we EVER going to see WKRP released?

    The notion of buying the set as a tribute/homage to Gordon Jump brought to mind (tangentially) something I ran across a while back... Interview snippet (MP3 audio file) -- Gary Sandy's thoughts about a DVD release of WKRP (bear in mind that this interview took place BEFORE the set was ever...

    Raines - new Jeff Goldblum show on NBC

    I realize that most of us let our electronics handle the trivial details of catching the shows we want to watch, but for those who watch live, don't forget that the show will be switching to Friday nights, starting this week.

    Chocolate Covered Cherries?

    Via one route or another, indeed... When I was a child, I over-indulged myself one Christmas Eve, and I awoke around 3:00 AM, not to Santa, but rather to a bed full of upchucked CCCs. To say it was messy is a wee bit of an understatement. It was several years before I could bring myself...

    24: Season Six thread

    If you count guest actors and one-shots, they've lifted a LOT more than that...including the ever-wonderful Tobin Bell. '24' is a virtual LFN-alumni reunion...and that is indeed a GOOD thing! :) Michael and Jack together would be priceless...but Jack is too hyper, rogue-ish and over-the-top...

    Gary Larson - Offensive?

    Two of my all-time favorites (paraphrased, from memory): 1 - Husband chicken sick in bed, wife chicken brings in bowl of soup..."Don't worry - it wasn't anyone we knew." 2 - Mother snail to child snail, who is clutching a huge salt shaker: "I told you not to run with that thing."...

    Monk Season 5 split?

    I like to think it was a bit of both. :) Randy looking at the family photos, and his remark about it ending with him, was indeed heartbreaking. I love seeing Tony and Brooke (his real-life wife) work together on the show...first with her as the stewardess in the "Airplane" ep, and now...

    PSYCH Season One ongoing discussion

    Adam... If you still have Sci-Fi Channel (it's not in your list), there's going to be a mini-marathon of 'Psych' Wednesday night (2/14)...these 4 recent eps...7P to 11P (Eastern). Why 'Psych' is on Sci-Fi, I have NO idea, but anything that'll help to spread the word (and boost the ratings) is...

    Silk Stalkings Season Two

    I got a correct set first time around (pure luck!), and I know that replacement discs were sent out to those who got defective sets. I assume sets released on down the line were corrected. Further info and more detailed discussion: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htf/...d.php?t=210769

    Some of your favorite TV theme songs...

    Better stop drinking those hand sanitzing gels!

    Idiots are one thing, but children get ahold of this stuff too. Labels wouldn't help to warn THEM, but at least a clearer warning might help to make adults more aware of an easily-overlooked danger, so that they might be more encouraged to keep the products out of reach or have them so that...
