Assault, yes, as in actual physical violation of your person (AKA rape), which should be stopped; however, what makes me dislike her and similar people is that they don't just stop at actual violation, but also play the Matthew 5:28 card (if you look at me the wrong way for too long, or even think about me the wrong way in private, I'm gonna act like you've physically violated me and had your hands all over me). I think personally, therefore, that the only time a man should be brought before the bar of justice over violation is if there is actual evidence of said violation (rape kit for rapes, bites/other bruises for other kinds of assault); if that evidence is there, the accused should duly be found guilty/liable (the woman should not pull these frivolous claims of rape/other assault just because she doesn't like that he looked at her the wrong way or thought about her the wrong way in private, and this is why I have never been the biggest fan of #MeToo and #TimesUp!).

Unpopular opinion about television news (at least I think this may be): I think personally (and strongly have believed lately) that Jim Gardner of 6ABC Action News in Philadelphia is, and has been, far more interesting than any of the news personalities have ever been in my area in the South (meaning that, when it comes to television news, he has/has had that "it", as it were, much as Joey King has had in Tinseltown as an actress).

One I've really been disliking immensely lately is Rose McGowan, especially for how she's been involved in that #MeToo/#TimesUp nonsense-- ugh!

Here's a remarkable example of his craft for television: the 1981-87 titles of CBS' Thursday serial Knots Landing, where the KL title zooms out against the beach shot, then the screen fades to black, and then that title moves off to the left, and the titles scrolled from right to left, with the names of the players (in alphabetical order), and 3-4 images of each one in assorted scenes; this version of it was the seventh-season one (1985-86): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b8jgiYrzLo

The same way I am about Hart to Hart-- I finished that 1979-84 ABC romance/detective series a long time back, but there were quite a few of its 110 outings I cared for far more than others, so (and I hate to admit it) I have focused quite a bit on those, to the expense of the discs they're on on their respective releases.

Great insight! I know now that when someone is "snubbed" (as I thought Joey King originally was in favor of Williams, based on all the articles about Joey's loss), it means they don't even get a chance to get the Emmy or Oscar or Golden Globe; I am convinced now to put it more positively and say that Joey almost did it (sooner or later, she will!). And it's not like Joey's been winless in her career-- after all, she does have a Young Artist from Ramona and Beezus, and a Kids' Choice from The Kissing Booth, so surely there's precedent and impetus!

Good point! The way you're saying this, I take it, is that Michelle Williams (who took the Emmy for Best Female Lead Limited for Fosse/Verdon) deserved it just as much as Joey King did for The Act (the reason why being that Michelle put in as much hard work as Joey). Is that it?

Not just with him, but with Joey King-- she's only 20, but she's grown immensely from when she started at 4 years old with that Life Cereal commercial!

Apparently, even after all that hard work she put in on The Act, Joey King almost entered the pantheon of greats like Raymond Burr, Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, Lucille Ball, Robert Young, et al.-- I feel so awful for her!

Here are my three cats (Harry, Sally and Wilma) at supper, from about 2-3 evenings back, I believe (taken by my sister-in-law Jenn):

Bumping this up: Riptide (VEI all-in-one of this 1984-86 NBC detective/action/adventure series w/Perry King, Joe Penny, Thom Bray, et al.)

If it's not, then why would that one user who quoted me say it is?

I do like Westerns, but only certain ones (and per what you said, I never knew that Northern Exposure was a Western).

Me neither (albeit I have all of the DVD releases [single-sided this time, unlike the doubles of before]); it's set way out in the middle of nowhere, and much as I hate to admit it, I'm more the fan of shows that have a lot of tall buildings (skyscrapers) on display (like The Streets of San Francisco, which was a great source of that).

Here's something you might find interesting: an edition of ABC's 20/20 from Thursday, Aug. 15, 1985, where one of the stories was about America's cats and their owners: the story is called "Equal Time for Cats."

Yep-- a release from VEI is on Amazon.

The Untouchables (classic 1957 book by Eliot Ness [this edition from 1987] that spawned a hit 1959-63 ABC series w/the late Robert Stack, a 1987 film w/Kevin Costner, and a 1993 series w/Tom Amandes [each one playing Ness])

I didn't know about this until just earlier, but legendary Oakland/L.A. Raider receiver Cliff Branch passed on recently (Aug. 3) at 71; he was a huge part of the Raiders SBXV title win over Philly in 1981, among other things.

And I think the great Michael Douglas is just about to get there (born 9/25/44)!

Did not know that! I thought that when a Universal series was filmed on backlots, that was that.

What I mean by that is that Five-O and The Streets of San Francisco were actually filmed in the places that they were named for, whereas Rockford and Columbo were filmed on Universal's backlots, IINM-- does that explain it?

Another unpopular opinion of mine: between the two great crime dramas of the 70s that were filmed in their namesake locations (O-R Jack Lord Five-O on CBS, and The Streets of San Francisco on ABC), even though Five-O lasted longer than Streets (12 seasons' worth for the CBS show, spanning the end of one decade [the 60s], all of the next [the 70s], and the beginning of a third [the 80s], as opposed to the 5-year run of Streets on ABC [1972-77]), I personally believe that Streets is the far better show of the two, because that one hardly ever got boring, and never dragged-- it was action-packed week in and week out, and Karl Malden, Michael Douglas and Richard Hatch (not to leave out, all the many and varied guest stars) helped to make it so (and the all-in-one DVD release of Streets is one of the best values I've ever had in a television disc release). With Five-O, on the other hand, as I said in another thread long ago, I had to stop a long time ago after 2/3 of the run, because I wasn't planning on putting money down on the latter third (albeit I did get the 12th and final go [1979-80] as a curiosity piece), based on what I heard about how bad the latter third of the run got (of course, maybe I'm wrong; after all, everyone is welcome to his/her own opinion).
