Mistletoe can be deadly, if you eat it. Actually, it's not THAT poisonous- one guy proves this by tearing off a leaf and eating it in front of witnesses. But playing Batman can be hazardous to your career. Even if it's opposite Michelle Pfeifer and Danny deVito in "Batman Returns".

1) If there WERE technical experts, vpw would have proceeded as he wished anyway. His methods included telling an expert to do something and letting them do it as they knew how-so long as they obeyed- or assuming he himself was an expert and doing something HIS way no matter what. 2) This filming was done cheaper than you think- the furniture for the set was neither bought nor rented. vpw pretended to want to buy the furniture, installed it for the filming, filmed as fast as he could in the studio, then returned the furniture and said he wasn't satisfied and wanted his money back. This is the same dishonest method recommended by twi when running taped classes. If the location lacked a decent TV, the locals were told to "buy" a big TV then return it immediately after the class and get their money back. Jesus would be disgraced to hear of such dishonesty. 3) If vpw had actually listened to God instead of pretending, he would have gotten guidance and warnings. Instead, vpw did things as he wished. Remember, this is the same man who called himself "The Teacher" ON FILM over a decade before the filmed pfal class when he was mainly a lazy homiletician. (He knew how to preach, and that was the limit of his scholarship.) 4) twi CLAIMS to be about Jesus-sometimes- but it's more about vpw and whoever's in charge than about the REAL things of God. Sometimes locals out on the field were quite godly, but the closer to hq, the more stagnation is in evidence.

Bite your tongue. These are from one of the classic punk bands. Does "Gabba gabba hey" mean anything to you? -
Next one: This show had an organization: the Nation Organization of Men Against Amazonian Mastery- abbreviated "NO MA'AM." And fans who signed up for it on a national registry! Plans to spin it off as its own show fell through.

Nanoo, nanoo, Raf! That one's Mork and Mindy.

Ok, let's try a slightly different one..... "Twenty, twenty, twenty-four hours ago..." (I'll explain both when this one is answered.) -
Nobody judges JavaJane for having the twi experiences here. Lots of people who have no idea what it's like to spend time in an organization like twi would judge her-or us-for our time in.

In fairness to loy, when he started in twi he was an athlete, if not as stellar an athlete as he liked to portray. (Then again, who doesn't like to look at college and imagine they were a more noteworthy athlete than they were?) His main contributions to twi included leading the early corps on runs and stuff. He only really knew football and anything partly related to football, but he did know that much. Of course, his LATER time as the grand poobah had him STOP exercising and get a more average "middle age spread" that his believing wasn't able to melt, which was more noticeable after he STOPPED doing the AOS regimen once it was filmed.

They might have been the buddies I was talking about.... If you follow the dialogue, at least once someone (Mr Peabody) refers to the show as "the Rocky Show." What state is Frostbite Falls in? :)
-
No, not a couple. And the show had different features besides the main characters. I KNOW you know this one, your memory goes way back.
-
The powers that be for the show went around the US and then went to Washington DC and parked in front of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue during the Cuban Missile Crisis-which they had no idea was happening at the time and they wondered why the President didn't come out to meet them. (That wasn't an episode, they traveled around.) It's in syndication now. I was watching it on TV the other month. BTW, there were THREE movies if you count the entire ensemble and not just the main characters. I forgot that. (No, they weren't GOOD movies.)
-
Ok, the show was supposed to be a buddy show, named after Buddy A. However, everyone liked Buddy B better, so they named it after BOTH- A & B. Then they changed it to B & A, then just B. The powers that be for the show actually did a gag about trying to get an imaginary location added as another US state. They showed up at the White House, but no President and no photo opportunity. IIRC, someone came out and said he was too busy- and this was right in the middle of the Cuban Missile Crisis. (Not the Bay of Pigs.) ====================================== This show's production included some outsourcing to another country. While in its original run, it had aired right after American Bandstand at one time, and ran on NBC and ABC during that run. It's been syndicated since. A pinball machine was made with this as the theme in 1993. TSR made a roleplaying game with this setting in 1988. It takes place in Minnesota. There were TWO feature movies of the characters in theaters. Really,

It's Billy Idol's "White Wedding." -

It's not that recent an idea, either. After leaving twi in the 88-89 mass exodus, I was told by a corps grad who also left in it that we should NOT be doing original research, and instead should be rereading the twi materials vpw supposedly wrote. Apparently, the corps were taught this "research means to search again" nonsense for many years before the rest of us heard it.

No, but you were getting closer. Since I've stalled this thread enough, I'll post the answer. "MEET THE PRESS" (boring Sunday morning news show) is the longest-running TV show in US history and is still running today. Not that most people care. FREE POST!
-
It might be one... Evening news in general started later. It is not a nightly news show.
-
General Hospital has been running since 1963. The show I'm referring to started in 1947 and is still running. GH is the longest-running soap opera.

At first, I had no idea. After getting some sleep, I now remember something. Was it called "the Lone Gunmen"?
