"Brotherhood of Man" -- probably my favorite number from one of my favorite musical comedies -- a sure fire showstopper if it's done right -- flopped around like a dying fish on the stage last night.
But this, my friends ... THIS is how you win a T

So, just watched this, and surprisingly, I liked it.
Certainly it wasn't without fault, but as a reboot of the franchise, I didn't find the plot holes I've seen

With all this DC talk and the Commander's Marvel Quiz Challenge, some thoughts about Marvel secret identities came to me so....
Over the past few years I've bought more than a few back issues. Actually I see nearly complete sets of issues and decide to buy them for a really good price. Then I spend years trying to fill in the gaps. I've decided to start these threads to help

I posted this in the group "Who is The Doctor" with only one response so I thought I would post it here to give it a bit more visability.
Well, seeing as no one else has taken it upon themselves to start a discussion on the subject and my bud, Lee H
I've gone and done it...I've registered for Season 2 auditions for NBC's "The Voice". No word on audition times and places yet. Singing is a great love of mine, and life's short, so I'm going to give it a go. The truth is, I'd be happy just to mak

The big question: Will digital and print versions be available on the same day?
I never was a big fan of Westerns, so I'll leave it to others - the Commander, most likely - to talk about his role on Gunsmoke. As for myself, I'll always remember the man for his parts in two of my favorite sci-fi films.
