The drapes.

Is there any way we can make this Liam's official title? Because it's perfect. Truly perfect.

Just an FYI for everyone who gets MeTV. Perry Mason is starting over its evening airing with Season 1, episode 1 on Monday the 16th. Tune in to see Raymond Burr at his thinnest--he lost over fifty pounds when he was cast as Perry and then slowly gained it back during the show's nine season run.

FYI to any Mannix fans watching the show on MeTV, the series is completing its run on Tuesday night, March 26 with the episode Hardball and starting over again on Wednesday night with episode one, The Name is Mannix. The show ran for eight seasons from 1967 to 1975. I remember it mainly for Mannix's Camaro and his athletic ability. Mike Connors played college basketball and he did many of his own stunts. Mannix also wore very fashionable clothes, fashionable at least for the late sixties and seventies. Which is to say he wore ties and sport jackets so loud they could make your ears bleed.

FYI to any fans of Cannon starring William Conrad, MeTv is finishing up the series run with the final episode Mad Man on March 13 and starting over with the pilot on March 14. Worth a look just for the Ford vehicles used in the series. I had forgotten how huge Cannon's Lincoln Continental Mark IV was. The show aired from 1971 to 1976 so the sets and costuming are both humorous and horrifying.

Fun show, but I miss Jamie.

Capitol didn't last very long, but they had a great cast. I particularly enjoyed Carolyn Jones. I have never understood why it or Santa Barbara didn't last longer.

. . . and on Monday night, the 27th, Perry starts all over again with a younger, thinner Raymond Burr. He lost 60 lbs. right before filming started on the show and then slowly put it back on over the course of nine seasons. Sad to see William Hopper look so much better at the beginning of the series. He passed away from complications of a stroke in 1972.

Somebody please tell me that I'm not the only one watching Unearthed on the Science Channel. I appreciate the fact that not all the episodes are about well-known sites. I've actually learned quite a bit about Central and South American civilizations. Anyway, if you're visiting this forum the show is one you might find interesting. Each episode examines a site such as Ankor Wat and examines the underlying structure and what it would have looked like when it was in use. It's definitely worth a look and has some nice graphics.

After watching this episode I immediately wondered if this season's final episode will end with Sherlock and his new friend Michael having a fight near a waterfall.

Yes, but is Bob coming back for another season?!?!? I don't trust The History Channel--after all how long has The Curse of Oak Island been on the air? ASAIK they haven't found anything but a bone shard and a coin.

Alarming programming note. The History Channel website lists the Feb. 20 episode as the season finale, not the series finale. The History Channel does call the show Hunting Hitler: The Final Evidence, so I'm pretty sure the show is ending as was stated in the first episode this season, but if someone could assure me that Bob and company are done hunting Hitler I would really appreciate it.

Dear Show, How could you. You say the three little words you know I want to hear--wet Tim Kennedy--then you put him in the bulkiest wet suit in existence and have him dive in the icy North Sea. The next time Tim goes swimming I want to see him in a warm South American lake. Oh, and if you are truly interested in Norway's production of heavy water for the Nazis, I would suggest you read The Winter Fortress by Neal Bascomb. Sincerely, Collinwood

So on tonight's episode we have extensive discussion about documents hidden in a lake. Normally I would find that interesting but since Tim Kennedy was nowhere to be seen, not so much. Also I noticed on the bottom of the screen showing Klatenbrunner it was noted he was tried at Nuremberg and executed. Why didn't he escape with his friend Hitler I wonder? I'm getting the feeling this "final season" will conclude there is no real evidence that Hitler survived the war and escaped. That being said, it looks like Tim will be doing some repelling next week so I will be tuning in with some popcorn and a glass of merlot. Cheers.

I see an episode scheduled for December 26th that previews the new season. As long as Tim Kennedy is back and may go for a swim in some lake, I'm in.
