  1. I tried to limit mod action to posts that either WERE political or responded to posts that were political. There were some that responded to a response to a response... i tried to keep anything that lost all trace of politics. IF a post had some politics but not all, the whole post went. I didn't vet the video for political content. The title told me it probably wasn't, so i restored it on request. Not claiming to have exercised this responsibility perfectly. But if i were being strict i could have stopped the thread at the first mention of Butler, PA.
  2. Just great. Finally reach my name on the hurricane list...
  3. Originally this series was about seven people facing the challenges of life. By the end of the first season, it was becoming a soap opera. By the end of the last season, only one of the original cast members was still on the show, which by then was well known for two stars that were not remotely part of the original plan.
  4. Paul Winchell, voice of Dick Dastardly, was also the voice of Gargamel from the Smurfs. Hence the Gargamel and Tweety non-guess.
  5. "It doesn't look like an S.O.S." "What is it, then?" "Well, it looks like a warning."
  6. Oh my, GOOD ONE! The Gargamel and Tweety Show! Wow, that brings back memories.

  9. So, this movie is scheduled for a remake. I imagine they will change the setting, as the original was set in the distant future of 2019. In this future, it is said in the movie's promotional material, America's finest people don't run for president. They run for their lives. It's not a documentary, although some of its "reality tv" predictions did come true (if you paint with a broad enough brush). The rights to the story on which this movie was based were purchased by someone who didn't know who the author was. Appropriately, the name of the movie was the nickname of a political campaign tour bus in the early aughts (a little over 20 years ago). The villain was played by a man remembered less as an actor than by the profession he parodies in this movie. With a non-literal wink and a nod, the main character utters a line made famous by the actor who plays him in another movie/franchise entirely.
  10. No, there's only one. This is Rocky III
  11. Fantasy Island is correct.
