I took a cue from Frank Soyke and recreated a specific night of TV with my DVDs. On Monday, I recreated the NBC lineup from September 14, 1985:


Gimme A Break!: "Joey's Train"


The Facts of Life: "Out of the Fire…"


The Golden Girls: Pilot*


227: Pilot**


*Honestly, whatever their reasons were for dropping him, I don't think Coco would have added all that much to the show if they'd kept him. Nothing he said was funny and nothing he did had anything to do with the plot.


**IIRC, they aired a lot of the first season episodes out of order, but since it was a mid-2000s Sony set, they don't mention airdates. At least this one retained the Embassy logo and the color key dissolve effect.

So I'm guessing you went to bed at 10 p.m. that night Matthew? Hehe (just kidding.)

But now I really *am* curious which hour-long show followed your sitcom lineup before the local news that night.

For the record, I was probably watching Hunter...Just loved that Stephanie Kramer.

I watched a classic line up last Saturday night from 1976(it was Sunday morning when I finished).

Saturday night November 20, 1976

-Emergency-Captain Hook.
There isn't a lot say about this episode other than it was a pretty weak episode. However, Emergency has always been that kind of show to me either I liked the episode, or I didn't.

NBC Saturday Night At The Movies-Billy Jack
Decent film. It has been years since I watched it last, and luckily I found this promo on Youtube to amplify the experience:


-Saturday Night Live-Paul Simon with musical guest George Harrison
The early seasons of SNL are pure magic to me. This was a great pre-Thanksgiving episode. Paul Simon's duet with George Harrison on 'Here Comes the Sun(my favorite Beatles song) was the best "unplugged" version of a song I ever heard. Beautiful.

Overall a very good night of viewing, and a Saturday night well spent.

Been alternating between my Adventures of Batman and New Adventures of Superman Filmation sets. They are fun to watch and have a simplistic charm that i enjoy. It was good hearing Olan Soule and Casey Kasem voicing Batman and Robin (Super Friends rule!), also like Bud Collyer's Superman. I'm enjoying the Batman episodes a little more than Superman. I love how in one episode Catwoman recognizes the similarities between Robin and his blonde double but not Robin and Dick Grayson

 

[moviebuff75]

Friends Seasons 3 & 4
Dallas Season 6
Centennial Chapters 5 & 6

 

[alabamaroberts]

Been watching Home Improvement a lot lately. And I catch Seinfeld on TBS whenever I can.

 

[turtledove]

Ongoing random views of Dr Who have reached The Ark In Space (1975) which I completed.

Also completed series 10 of Grange Hill.

The Flaxton Boys stalled at episode 5.


Weekly weekend episodes of The Saint reached The Gadic Collection.

Weekly The Sweeney reached Pay Off.

Weekly The Outer Limits reached The Man Who was Never Born


Daily double bills replaced by one movie per day instead until October.


No regular viewing planned but the arrival of the Bluray set of Lost In Space means I shall be browsing that a lot and I expect I shall watch a few with commentaries


Partway through The Twilight Zone season 3 but have given up and opted to select episodes to skip preachy ones about war and the repetitive appearances of death personified

 

[Oliver Ravencrest]

On the Buses


I hadn't seen this show in ages and I'm enjoying it quite a lot. I'm currently on Series 4. My favourite episodes, so far, are Brew It Yourself, Busmen's Perks, Radio Control and The Squeeze. The show has a top notch cast and of the 2 Mums (Cicely Courtneidge, Doris Hare), I prefer Hare but both are good.

My youngest granddaughter (4 and a half) discovered I had purchased S4 of The Flintstones so we watched the first 6 episodes of that season. She absolutely loves the opening "Yabba, dabba, doo!" from Fred as he slides down the brontosaurus' back and the ending scene where Fred puts the cat out and the cat jumps through the window and puts *Fred* out! She usually asks "Why doesn't he just go through the window like the cat instead of beating on the door?"

Perhaps Fred thought he couldn't fit through the window!

Yesterday was the ninth anniversary of my decision to "cut the cord" (That's cancel my Pay-TV subscription for those of you in Rio Linda!) after seeing an age-inappropriate commercial aired on a kid's show. Among the dozen + TV Shows I bought afterwards were Lost in Space and Walker, Texas Ranger, so I watched the first episodes of each series. As for what I used the money I saved by doing this all you need to do look at my signature!


In 2006 I was spending about $65.00 a month on home video.


Today I'm paying about $65.00 a month on home video.


In 2006 Pay-TV in my area cost $65.00 a month.


Today Pay-TV in my area costs $160.00 a month!


After you subtract the money purchasing home video I'm saving over $1,100 a year by NOT subscribing to a service!

Since It's October, I've broken out some of my "Spooky" TV Shows. Right now I'm watching The Man in the Bottle episode season two of The Twilight Zone.
