Post by: George on July 25, 2017, 12:53:48 AM: One of the first shows that came to my mind was a British show called Murder Most Horrid (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00F4578F6/). Dawn French (of French & Saunders (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0010SARGI/) fame) is the lead, and in each segment, someone (usually whatever character that Dawn French plays) gets killed...hilariously. :D

Title: Re: HIT OR MISS
Post by: Jrand74 on July 25, 2017, 04:43:29 AM: TOD:

Alfred Hitchcock - half hour & hour versions. My favorites were The Unlocked Window and Where the Woodbine Twineth

The Twilight Zone - half hour version. Many favorites!

Desilu Playhouse - hmmm, I shall have to look at an episode list to find one...a favorite, that is.

I wanted to like the Richard Boone Show, but I didn't like many of the other actors he had in his repertory company.
Title: Re: HIT OR MISS
Post by: Michael on July 25, 2017, 04:48:41 AM: TOD

Twilight Zone
For me the best episodes were in no particular order were

The Eye Of the Beholder
The Hitchhiker
The Invaders (Agnes Morehead gives a standout performance)
The Monster Are Due On Maple Street
Nightmare at 20,000 Feet
Time Enough At Last (Great Twist Ending)
To Serve Man
The After Hours
Five Characters in Search of an Exit
Where Is Everybody?
Third From the Sun
The Masks

An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge which was actually an Oscar winning short that was bought for the series and slightly edited for time. It plot structure has been reused many times over the years like Jacob's Ladder. So if one knew this film the latter had no surprises.
Title: Re: HIT OR MISS
Post by: Michael on July 25, 2017, 05:05:05 AM: There was also Night Gallery, but from I understand Rod Serling had no artistic control over the series and only a few episodes were worthy. The multiple stories were also varying lengths as episodes were either 90 minutes, 60 minutes, 30 minutes

Eyes (Joan Crawford and one of Steven Spielberg's first directing jobs)
Lone Survivor
They're Tearing Down Tim Riley's Bar (Probably the best episode of the series)
The Messiah on Mott Street (2nd Best)
Big Surprise
Green Fingers (Scary ending)
The Caterpillar (Shock ending)

"The Boy Scouts of America is wholly non-partisan and does not promote anyone position, product, service, political candidate or philosophy. The invitation for the sitting U.S. president to visit the National Jamboree is a long-standing tradition and is in no way an endorsement of any political party or specific policies. The sitting U.S. president serves as the BSA's honorary president. It is our long-standing custom to invite the U.S. president to the National Jamboree"

Post by: bk on July 25, 2017, 12:36:43 PM: Spectrum guy is still here but the problem has, hopefully, been solved. The modem they gave me a year ago was a modem/router - so, my Time Machine/Airport router was getting confused by the modem router - like two cars coming to the same intersection - one has to stop to let the other go - and it was timing out while that was happening. He gave me a brand new modem only - it took a while to get my router to recognize it, but finally it did and I'm on a much faster 5G network now (on my phone, too), so all that's good. He's now looking at the outside wires and is going to replace because they're really old.

Can't fault the performers. Rooney Mara is spectacular, Ryan Gosling is good. Michael Fassbender is his usual self, also good, and now Natalie Portman has entered the picture. She's just fine.

As fascinating as it is, I can't help feeling that it's all bullsh-t.

So, that's what I'm having - a salad and fried clams. Already have my reservation for 11:30. It's a very popular jernt.

Title: Re: HIT OR MISS
Post by: George on July 25, 2017, 11:47:19 PM: Something else that I still have on this DVD burner is BK's episode of The Partridge Family where they're on the cruise ship. I recorded it back in November 2012 and I didn't delete it! I know I burned this onto discs for several people here, but I don't think I'll delete it just yet.

At least, it doesn't date back to Johnny Carson.
