A similar thing about it that would annoy me, as it would many others-- going to a place that is supposed to be open at a certain time, only to find it closed. That would be like if a restaurant was supposed to be open at 6 A.M. for breakfast, and you decide to go and eat there. You get in your car, drive the distance to that restaurant, park your car, but when you get there-- no, closed! You think, "Why would they say they would be open at 6 for breakfast, and then not be?" Things like that have led to many businesses losing customers.

Movie theater rants from an Australian perspective; a lot of what this person says would be in line with what I would feel if I went to a theater, which I haven't in ages; there's a good bit of salty language, but, again, this person has some good points

1990 commercial for the Chicago Sun-Times, showing all that goes into that Chicago paper, and why it was, at least then, "Chicago's #1 selling newspaper"

Oh yes! That is the only death this year that is actually worthwhile.

As Jim Nantz said on Tiger's historic Masters win in 1997, and would probably say now (even though he's not a baseball announcer): "There it is-- a win for the ages!"

Just my opinion, but you want to know what disgusts me about NASCAR?! The fact that, while other sports (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL) only focus on the teams that make it to the playoffs (those who do not do not play), with NASCAR, all drivers race in Chase races, even those who are not in the Chase and have no chance of winning the title. They need to change it to where only the 16 drivers who are in (some may be in on points if fewer than 16 win races during the season) race against each other, and leave the other cars out of it!

Why does Sirius, when it comes to holiday music, insist on replacing a channel that's your favorite with that music, instead of using one of their others that doesn't get listened to all that much?!

I think that either "thread" or "topic" is the proper terminology, because each one represents something being talked about within the larger "forum" that contains it. IOW, the "forum" represents the larger field of subject matter, and the "thread" or "topic" is one piece of that field (or so it would seem).

Broccoli is something I like cooked and raw; it's a lot better to me than green beans.

Sounds like, at least to me, a manager who expects you to get something done, but won't tell you how to do it, so you get it done the best way you know how, only to have that manager scream at you that you were supposed to get it done another way. If it were that, I'd feel the same way, except that I'd be more "smoke you!" instead of "______ you!"

No kidding! I've seen the lot DVD release of that 1972-75 ABC Western/adventure series w/David Carradine at the Wal-Mart in Simpsonville recently, but have so far forbore from it because I wasn't sure whether it would be entertaining enough to justify the purchase. I wasn't going to spend the money if it would end up being wasted.

Oh, how I'm ever in with you on that one (not just him, but that 90s NBC comedy that was named for him)!

That's how it is when my mother and I go shopping at the Wal-Mart: my mother says sometimes that she wants to hurry and get it done, but then she'll look at several options for a given thing (spices, for instance), and it'll end up taking a lot longer to get the shopping done. Not that I blame her for looking for bargains, but when she says she wants to hurry, and then she takes forever making up her mind, it drives me crazy. Granted, I do the same thing when shopping for DVDs in the entertainment/electronics section, but then, I don't always make a purchase from that area-- only if I find something that somewhat appeals to me do I make one.

Sad news for those in the Triangle of North Carolina (Raleigh, Durham, Fayetteville): former ABC11 Eyewitness News anchor Larry Stogner has passed on at 69. http://abc11.com/1479868/

One thing I'm most assuredly not seeing is the new MacGyver on CBS. I mean, granted, the original-recipe 1985-92 ABC series w/Richard Dean Anderson got its share of flak for a good many reasons, but I saw the first few minutes of this newer one, and it doesn't look appealing at all.

You're not the only one-- plenty have been one and done for me (and sometimes, it would be more than one and done [I saw several and decided they weren't for me]).

Another of my favorites: Della Street of Perry Mason (Barbara Hale, still alive at 94). The teamwork of her, Paul Drake, and Perry Mason was a big reason why I have enjoyed that 1957-66 CBS legal series so much so that I have seven seasons' worth of it on DVD.

One of my most favorites is Jennifer Hart, wife of Jonathan on Hart to Hart. Why? It is because Jennifer and Jonathan really seemed to be in love as they were portrayed.

I saw that MacGyver episode called "Twenty Questions" from the sixth season (1990-91; airdate Oct. 8, 1990), and I dislike admitting it, but I agree with those who said it was one of the worst episodes ever there was of MacGyver, for reasons unknown.

This is why I quit out on original-recipe Five-O when I reached the end of the eighth season (although, like I said, I had gotten the twelfth and final one [1979-80] just as a curiosity piece to find out if it really was as bad in those final years as it was said it was).

Absolutely! I couldn't stand him in the first place, let alone on Match Game on ABC Sundays now.

Seventh-season (1973-74) version of Mannix title sequence (enhanced video and audio; taken from Heroes & Icons airing)

Another one I couldn't stand: Andy Griffith (neither on his 1960-68 Andy Griffith Show on CBS, nor on his 1986-95 Matlock series on NBC and then ABC). My mother has all of Andy Griffith on DVD (I got it for her a time back in CBS' condensed full-series DVD release), and it's one of her favorites.

Count the game shows among them-- Pyramid, PYL, $ale of the Century, Scrabble, et al. When those went away, USA as a channel went incredibly down the tubes, IMO.

I never did really enjoy Selleck either, not even on that hit 1980-88 CBS detective series of his called Magnum, P.I. In fact, I had gotten seasonal releases of it before (the first and second seasons in the double releases, and then the first again in the repackaged single release), and could not enjoy it either way. And per Steve Harvey, I used to like his newer Family Feud, but now, I don't really care for it.
