"I just completed binge-watching the entire run of The Lone Ranger (1949-57).
I did that recently, m'self (as you know). Consequently, every episode you cited above is still fresh in my mind. Last time we talked about the Lone Ranger, I opined that…"
"I just completed binge-watching the entire run of The Lone Ranger (1949-57). Well, O.K., not the entire run. I tried to give the third season, the one with John Hart playing the Masked Man, a fair shot. But I could get through only six or seven…"
"Being in a 60s sitcom gave him special privileges. Sort of like how marines from Camp Henderson never had to go to Vietnam. I'm not certain any of them had even heard of Vietnam."
"Going through the "Military Sitcoms" thread, the only thing I saw that wasn't covered was the fact that CPT/MAJ Nelson lived in a house. If he was married, the service would see that he and his wife had a stateside home, on or off the base. As a…"
"I caught a weird documentary on the rise and fall of Girls Gone Wild. I only knew the commercials and thought, "oh yeah, that 90s/00s video series where drunk college girls flash their breasts." Turns out that it was a far darker scene than I ever…"
"I ran across the pilot episode of I Dream of Jeannie, "The Lady in the Bottle." This was when producers allowed themselves to be more creative with pilot episode titles; the average pilot episode today is given the boring descriptive name "Pilot."In…"
"Finished watching this last night. Wow. Really good show! Because this is a comedy, I felt a little funny about describing it as "a mash-up between West Wing and Only Murders in the Building, but I'm prepared to double down on that. I do have one…"
"THE RESIDENCE: Finished Wednesday S2, moved on to The Residence, one of Tracy's picks. I hadn't heard of it, but I'd describe the "high concept" as a mash-up between West Wing and Only Murders in the Building. I'd reccommend it to fans of either one…"
"I started watching the recent doc series on the Yogurt Shop Murders, a still-unsolved and disturbing crime. The organization seems a bit chaotic, but I think (I'm only one ep in) they may be trying to get away from the usual tropes of true crime…"
"SHE-HULK: Now that Wednesday is on "mid-season hiatus"* or whatever, we've begun re-watching She-Hulk.
*This is so pathetic. Season two has reached the "mid-season" mark at a paltry four episodes. It's funny (in a sad way) because, as I mentioned…"
"This remimds me of a scene from Them! (1954) where G-Man Bob Graham (James Arness) and New Mexico Statie Ben Peterson (James Whitmore) are in L.A. interviewing an old guy (Olin Howland, here credited as "Olin Howlin") who's a semi-permanent…"

Happy Birthday to the Birthday Dude!
Hope it's a good one.
I'd have got you another cake, but I haven't earned any credits since your last birthday...
(How do you earn credits anyway?)
