Seven Of Nine's Maturity?

It would be a lot easier for me to watch videos on the computer if I had a working set of speakers. I have to watch things through headphones, and then also have to make sure the cat doesn't start nibbling on the cord and destroying them like she did the last pair.
 
I'm relaxed. I've just been watching Dobie Gillis exclusively since last Thursday, since I'd not seen the show in 50 years. One of the few I remembered was 1st season's "The Chicken from Outer Space" which I hadn't seen since I was 8. It had a giant chicken (big enough to reach the ceiling) walking around.
 
You remember that I'm a child, right?

I had to look what the hell that means up on wikipedia.

My mother was 4 years old when Dobie Gillis started.
 
Yeah, I know you're somewhere between 30 and 40. Dobie is where I first saw Bob Denver, so I always think of him as Maynard G. Krebs instead of Gilligan, which he got as a result of Maynard's popularity. I assume you're aware of Gilligan's Island. Gilligan's pilot episode was a vehicle for Jerry Van Dyke, who eventually wound up in My Mother the Car.
 
The cast of Gilligans island featured prominently on an episode of Baywatch.

:)

I'm watching the first episode, which is not the pilot, of the many loves of Dobie Gillis.

Caper at the Bijou.

I like it when they talk to the camera.

Very Ferris Beuller.

I like his dad. So grumpy.

I also threaten to murder my child a lot as well.

Maynard is no Fonzie.

I'll take a hood over a beatnik anyday.

How the hell do they make money on this jackpot dealio?

25 cents a ticket... They have to get 400 people into the theatre just to just crack even.

Tuesday Weld!

So young and tiny!

Maynard is going to use his proceeds from the heist to buy records. :)

Oh Gilligan you scamp.

I saw something the other night "I actually owned that album on cd, back then, after vinyl but before stealing."

Was this filmed live? No it wasn't. Liars. Wikipedia says that prerecording had been invented.

Not bad.

Better than I expected.

25 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

Why does that sound familiar?
 
The money references are amusing in terms of present day. One episode has a line about how a doctor is a high paying profession at $20,000 a year.

I think Maynard was Bob Denver's first film role. Prior to that, he'd been an elementary school teacher and phys ed coach. He did a lot of physical comedy on Dobie and Gilligan.
 
His former students, after Gilligans Island aired, would have been asked to repeat their years under him.

I like the name of the reunion movie "Bring me the head of Dobie Gillis!"
 
You've forgotten who took it?

It just seems rude to ask for shit back.

But then they move.

Leave the country sometimes.

Stuff goes into storage.

They break up with their spouse.

They forget they ever took it.

They lend it to their friend who also MUST see it.

Or they die, and good luck not being confused for a graverobber trying to retrieve your dvds during the wake if it's held at their house.
 
But you're not thinking of the big picture.

After midnight, when you break in through his second story window... What will you be wearing?

So many people underestimate the need for a smart killer outfit while planning a heist.
 
I'll be wearing a beautiful flowing blue dress and as he dazedly and abruptly awokenly claws at the dvd in my hands I will sing "Let it go.. LET IT GO!" And he will hate me so much he will do so.
 
I thought Outland was that dreadful area introduced in The Burning Crusade! :p

Just push the play button below.

I have my episodes of Outlland resting on the same DVD as 1/2 a season of The Bernie Mac Show.

:)

It's weird thinking that that Bernie Mac is dead.

I found episode one of Outland on Youtube very quickly.

Or does Tecake have to snailmail you DVDs?
 
A year or so ago, I bought Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. I watched it once, loaned it to a woman here at the apartments, and have never asked for it back. That's pretty much atypical for me regarding my videos.
