TOD:

PERRY MASON would be my choice, with 12 seasons and most of my favorite 1950s favorites popping up in various episodes, it would keep me happily entertained until I was rescued by the Coast Guard.

I LOVE LUCY would be a good choice, but I think I would go with Rowan and Martin's LAUGH-IN.

LAUGH-IN is also a history lesson.

TOD:  I think I take either I, CLAUDIUS or SLINGS & ARROWS.  Both endlessly fascinating with brilliant acting.  Of course, one might want to take the entire Shakespeare Canon that the BBC produced and did many, many years ago..

Oh, how I loved LAUGH-IN!  I think in all the years it ran, I only missed one show that guest-starred Carrol O'Connor because I had to work at my school's Christmas Bazaar.

I still have the LAUGH-IN Drawing Set, the View Master reels, several of the magazines and an assortment of the trading cards.  I had a trash can but I have no idea what happened to that.  I never got either of the LPs because my mom heard them played at a party and thought they were too dirty for me to hear.

It's a tough call, but, after serious consideration, I would have to take THE X FILES onto a desert island with me.  (Maybe I could also finally learn to like the seasons sans David Duchovny).
THE X FILES has humor, character, suspense, horror and infinite themes.  It also has some great guest stars as well as that chemistry between Duchovny and Anderson.
It also has David Duchovny in a red speedo, for those who are into that sort of thing. (and you know who you are).  ;)

Good morning!

Another very cold (for May) morning with a temperature of 40! Should warm up to the low 70s by the afternoon, but I have the house closed up at the moment. It's 62 inside, and that's plenty cool enough.

TOD:

The ten years of FRIENDS. For me, the shows never cease to amuse, and rare for a long-running series, it never ran out of gas during those years. The last year was a funny and interesting as the first year.

THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW or THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW would also be worthy of consideration, but there are more episodes of FRIENDS, so I'd have more to laugh at.

Today's work project is the ninth James Bond movie: THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN on Blu-ray. In terms of Roger Moore Bond movies, it's my third least favorite with only MOONRAKER and A VIEW TO A KILL more unendurable, but I haven't seen it in some time, so maybe I'll like it more after an absence from it.

ABC has just unveiled its new schedule for next season.

Biggest surprise: UGLY BETTY moves to Fridays at 9. The show FLASH FORWARD that ABC has been actively promoting during sweeps will be on Thursdays at 8 in BETTY's old time slot.

CASTLE remains at 10 on Monday.

SCRUBS and BETTER OFF TED will be on Tuesdays at 9 after the DANCING WITH THE STARS results show is no longer needed in that slot.

Wednesday nights on ABC will field a run of four half hour comedies and a new drama at 10, its one night of the week with an all-new slate of shows.

Wow!  ABC just handed "Ugly Betty" it's final season notice with that time-slot change!!!

And everything I've seen of "Flash Forward" does NOT scream out "8 p.m. before 'Grey's Anatomy'".

Desperation apparently leads to idiotic decision-making.

As much as I love "Friends", I have to vote with JRand58 on "I Love Lucy" for the desert island TV series.  More classic television, and more belly laughs, than any other show I can think of.

Being on a desert island, I think belly laughs would be essential.

One of the Laugh-In LPs is actually out on CD.  I have it.  The second one (Laugh-In '69?--it had a black cover) isn't.

I'm going to fiddle with the computer just a bit and then head downstairs to check the mail, decide on what's for lunch, and then settle in for some James Bond with notepad in lap.

Listening to Thrill Me, the Leopold & Loeb parlor musical, whose lyrics are making me laugh, probably contrary to their author's wishes.

Probably not. I hesitate to announce this publicly but I hold a different opinion than most people on the Golden Girls. I think that's all I need to say. I do love Bea Arthur and Betty White (in other shows) and Miss Estelle Getty was amazing in Torch Song Trilogy but, as with many other issues, I am clearly in the minority on this one.

TOD:  I was thinking of the "Mary Tyler Moore" show or "I Love Lucy," But "Law and Order" does make sense.  It is a good series, although not my favorite, but it'd take me awhile to run out of new episodes!
