  1. I'll be honest-- the way it was in COVID-times with the pods, I felt it would have been much easier for me to get down to the Row, because all I would have had to do was get up, go down the aisle, turn left or right, and I would be there (none of this squeezing through that was at Television City with Bob, Johnny, Rod and Rich, and was with Drew, Rich and George before COVID-times, and which Haven will have again, albeit on a smaller scale). I think 3 Strikes is one of the hardest, because there are 5 numbers in any price, and the strikes are mixed in, so, by simple luck of the draw, you could get all three strikes at once, without even going near a number. Conversely, I think that Hole in One might be one of the easiest, because all you really have to do to win is line the ball up with the hole, aim with the putter, and hit with the right speed and force, and you win (and even if you totally smoke up the price arrangement portion [lowest to highest], you still have a pretty good chance, just as if you got all the prices right).
  2. Here's Drew Carey on what to expect for Season 52 to start very soon (mostly about the new studio at Haven):
  3. And maybe even Dick Clark on Pyramid, and Peter Tomarken on Press Your Luck.
  4. Frank Field on a 1981 WNBC News 4 New York late edition, talking to Chuck Scarborough
  5. Dr. Frank Field, famed WNBC/WCBS weatherman and health reporter, has passed on as a centenarian: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/02/business/media/frank-field-dead.html
  6. Another broadcast of 20/20 from the 1989-90 season, Fri. Feb. 16, 1990 (with a more complete version of the 1989 titles [no tape glitch]), from KTVO Channel 3 (ABC in Kirksville/Ottumwa, IA):
  7. It was the same with Soap in 1977 on ABC-- Donald Wildmon's American Family Association had similar astroturfing with that 70s serial comedy that was a spoof of the daily serials of the time.
  8. Long good life he led (Capt. Stanley was his best role, and now we have all the memories on DVD).
  9. Thank you very much for saying that-- I did eventually find out how to do it, and books in my "to-read" folder have been changed to the proper editions.
  10. About Goodreads-- I strongly dislike that, when you are indicating that you want to read a particular book in the future, the site insists/assumes that you want to read the hardcover or Kindle version. The reason that bothers me is because I've been reading the novels in the Murder, She Wrote mystery series in paperback (have 33 in that series, and have read 30 of those), and when you put a book in your "to-read" list, you are not allowed to remove it from that list, even if you mistakenly select the wrong format of that book (so if you put, say, a MSW book in your "to-read" list in its hardcover form, the site will forever assume that you want to read the hardcover form, and will not let you remove that form and change it to paperback).
  11. Now onto A Slaying In Savannah, another in the Murder, She Wrote book series-- have now finished 30 in that series, and they are remarkable page-turners (have 33 now in that series in total; when I got my first one in Alabama, A Deadly Judgment, and enjoyed it, I was sure I'd found a book series I would truly appreciate).
  12. I do-- on the front page image under "Today's Front Pages."
  13. I have the paper of last Sunday, May 7, and that tagline is still there.
  14. One thing I wonder-- why would the show be apparently remastered for its showings on FETV (especially for seasons 3, 4 and 5), yet have commercials out the wazoo, whereas the DVD presentations are seemingly more complete, despite the poor picture quality of much of seasons 3, 4 and 5?
  15. Another in the Murder, She Wrote book series, Manhattans & Murder (have completed 10 of the books to this point, and the series is well on the way to being a staple for me)
  16. Would that have applied to some films that I personally disliked, like Titanic from 1997 (that still got all the awards, despite how bad I thought it was)?
  17. I started seeing mine the first day I got it (starting with the second go [1972-73]); of course, that day, or one of the days immediately following, was when I discovered that one of the discs was bad (that being the fourth disc of the sixth go (some of the episodes from 1977). I didn't try to return my purchase though, because I had grown up around WalMart store policy being that if it was an opened DVD or game or similar (even if to only check for damage), you could not get a refund; that has probably been the case ever since.
  18. Bumping this up again: Emergency! (70s NBC medical/action series w/Fuller, London, Troup, Mantooth, Tighe et al.).
  19. I agree-- but even if he does not, having heard that Dallas won last night, I'm still happy to have a break from him for a little while.
  20. The bad: Bullet Train did not win a single award (not for the film in itself, or for Action Movie of this year, or for Male Movie Star [Brad Pitt]), or for Female or Action Movie Star [both that Joey King was nominated for]). Of course, it could have been worse-- they could have been snubbed entirely, and not even have been in the running, so there's that (and Joey King did say at one time when she was nominated for Hulu's The Act that simply being nominated was a win [hopefully those feelings have not changed]).
  21. This could be quite annoying if, say, you were looking up more info on the 1986 Mets, and that video was trying to make you be more interested in the baseball of today-- this is, I believe, what you're talking about (I may be incorrect).
  22. That would bother me too, because I've lost two of my cats recently (first Kathy [a newer stray kitten I had for a little while], and then Harry [who I had for three years]; both were run over). I was sad about it, but quietly remembered them and moved on (unfortunately, like you said, some people would think you're not really sad or regretful if you're not loudly wailing about someone you lost, whether it be human or animal).
  23. A 1979 novel called Shibumi by Trevanian (whose real name was Rodney William Whitaker); this is a real book that Joey King's character Prince in Bullet Train is seen reading on the train. I'm past the halfway point of it, and probably will be getting soon to the last third of it. My copy (same as the one that Prince is reading): And Prince reading that book as she is introduced to the audience:
