Ran across an episode of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century on TV last night.

Dennis Haysbert is the helmsman on the ship at the beginning of the 2nd season.

it's 70's cheese when watched now, but was the bomb when I was a kid!


not TV, but the first company I worked for had a safety vid that was mandatory for everyone to watch every couple years,

starring a very young Nick Nolte


I loved that show. I remember having a Space 1999 squirt gun..must have been 1976 or so.

I had the "laser pistol" and the big, plastic Eagle. Wish I'd gotten that Dinky metal one on the 6th grade D.C. trip. Frown

I fell in love with Marisa Tomei as the token white girl on The Cosby Show spin-off A Different World. She and Lisa Bonet were the only reasons why I watched that show. After they bailed after season 1, I stopped watching.

It was because of Marisa that I sought out My Cousin Vinnie in the first place. I was like, "Hey, it's Maggie from A Different World!" I had no idea she was going to become the big deal she eventually attained.

Just finished watching a episode of Maverick with Jack Kelly as Maverick and Roger Moore as a co star.

Watching Wanted Dead or Alive right now with Steve McQueen of course and Noah Berry ( played Rocky, James Garner's dad in The Rockford files) cast as a sort of harmless Mexican bandito.

I remember being rather captivated by 19-year-old Heather Locklear on Eight is Enough in 1981, when I was age 15.

That thing is worth some considerable coin, depending on condition. LOL

Two episodes, actually.

1. The gremlin on the air plane.
2. The newlyweds in the diner with the fortune telling machine.

Speaking of 'Friends',

Jennifer Aniston - many godawful roles in 'Rom-Coms', and one or two amusing ones: 'Bruce Almighty' and 'We're the Millers'
