I was going to guess "Laugh-In" until the Wrongway Peachfuzz line. I'm not sure of the exact title, but it must be a "Rocky and Bullwinkle" something. George

If a teacher corrects a child, he gets sued. If a parent corrects a child, CPS is called. Our present laws enforce this nonsense. That kind of crap never happened when I was a child, and you know what? Kids weren't unruly (at least not to the extent we see today). So, sure, let the kids run riot, then clamp down with excessive laws. George

I don't think I ever met him personally, but we did exchange correspondence. I sent him a letter about my concerns that "Uncle Harry Day" was too much like a Catholic Holy Day. He responded politely, attempting to assuage my concerns without admitting any wrong doctrine or practice. I doubt it's coincidental, however, that after that the day was renamed "Burn the Chaff Day." George

Since I have no idea how permissive British society had become, I have no real response to these articles. In America, we've made it almost impossible for teachers and parents to correct unruly children. I could see backlash like this happening here, too. It would be just another case of the government taking away individual freedoms to correct a problem that it caused in the first place. George

Hey, young man! The tropics have been awfully quiet this summer. What have you been up to? :B) How are the wife and baby? HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! George

This episode is, in my mind, tied with "Spock's Brain" as the worst OS episode ever. And, the worst Star Trek movie, "The Final Frontier," was an extended version of it (pointy-eared guy uses mind control to hijack the Enterprise to find God). George

I couldn't have said it better. Season 3 had some real stinkers, though I enjoyed episodes that featured Scotty. You're up, Hiway! George

Foul tip. Right series, right season, wrong episode. This might make it a bit more obvious: "I didn't think Mister Scott would go for the brainy type." "I don't think he's even noticed she has a brain." "When a man of Scotty's years falls in love, the loneliness of his life is suddenly revealed. His heart once throbbed to the sound of the ship's engines; now, all he can see is the woman." "Scott here." "Scotty, where have you been? Where are you?" "In the Sickbay." "Are you sick?" "Oh, no. I was just checking on the lass. She's going to be fine now. There's nothing wrong with her." "Well, I'm relieved to hear your prognosis, Mister Scott. Is the doctor there with you, or will I find him in Engineering?" "All right, now. What's all this talk of dying? They've called a turn on us 3 out of 4 times. Well, that's a better average than anyone deserves. It's our turn, now. We'll fight them. So let's not hear anything more about dying." "Well, this is an Enterprise first. Dr. McCoy, Mr. Spock and Engineer Scott are all in complete agreement. Can I stand the strain?" George

Hmmm. I'm sure I watched the landing with my Dad in the afternoon, but I could have sworn it was on a weekday after summer school. In retrospect, it seems unlikely that Dad would have taken the day off to watch the landing, so Sunday it was! George

Funny, when I saw "That Was the Week That Was," all I could think of was the short-lived TV show. No wonder I couldn't think of it as a movie line. George

It was the summer between eighth grade and high school. I was taking Algebra I that summer so I could take Geometry in the fall. Classes were in the morning. I came home and watched it that afternoon with my Dad. (North Chicago suburbs -- I don't recall it being ESPECIALLY hot.) George

You're pretty good at this, M! Those weren't particularly obvious quotes. You're up! George

I tried that, but it didn't work before. It works now, though! It turns out that the instructions are on p.22. The icon that looks like a small picture frame is the one to use for inserting pictures from the Web. George

"Scott here." "Scotty, where have you been? Where are you?" "In the Sickbay." "Are you sick?" "Oh, no. I was just checking on the lass. She's going to be fine now. There's nothing wrong with her." "Well, I'm relieved to hear your prognosis, Mister Scott. Is the doctor there with you, or will I find him in Engineering?" "All right, now. What's all this talk of dying? They've called a turn on us 3 out of 4 times. Well, that's a better average than anyone deserves. It's our turn, now. We'll fight them. So let's not hear anything more about dying." "Well, this is an Enterprise first. Dr. McCoy, Mr. Spock and Engineer Scott are all in complete agreement. Can I stand the strain?" George

Now it's my turn. "You know, if women ran the world there'd be none of these stupid wars!" "Yeah, all the countries would nag each other to death!" "Well, better get rid of the old set anyway." "Set what set?" "An old stove, and old husband, and they both take too long to heat up." "Larry, haven't you ever thought of telling a girl the truth?" "Well, I figure, anyone who puts on eyeliner, fake eyelashes, and plastic nails isn't someone who wants to hear the truth." George

You are correct, Ma'am. If you'd like to give it a try, I wrote my process for doing the picture links on p. 23 (or 24?) of this thread. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be the old "Go to page..." button on the threads anymore. If you know how to do THAT (without going back to p.1 and thumbing through), please let me know! George

I am forced to guess, "The Mickey Mouse Club"! George

I didn't mean to come down so hard. It's just that in the "Nostalgia Thread," it was common for responders to give wry hints which showed that they knew the answer, without really giving it away while others were guessing. In this thread, the answer is supposed to be so obvious that that's not necessary! Carry on. George

When did this become "The Nostalgia Thread"? If you know the answer, give it, and post another clue! George

Well, whoever gets this one also gets "Name That Flick"! :) George

Use the ladies' first names, and for the last clue, pretend you're from "da Bronx." ;) George

Oh, come on! George

This may be a little tricky: three pics, need a name George

It is "Rocky." The line I quoted was Rocky's cry after going the distance with Apollo Creed. No "Yo" at that point! Go ahead, RR! George

"Adrian!!!" George
