    Okay, Mike... And if they accounted for his absence, I didn't catch it. Shame, shame, shame... I'm not sure if they've said it yet, but as I recall, he became a teacher. I hope we all learned something today, Squiggy. I know nothing of the show. May have seen it coming on in the day.

    They're officially numbered as Season 7; and those episodes bring the season's count up to a typical 24. This season seemed kind of rocky production-wise in that it started late and there were lots of weeks off. I think some variety could have been welcome, but wonder what the billing situation...

    50th Anniversary Viewing Adam-12 "Something Worth Dying For: Part 1" Originally aired May 13, 1975 So that resolves some of the speculation. I wonder if they planned to give Reed a series of rotating partners; settle him down with one; or maybe focus on a partner or three a season (with the...

    The song just doesn't grab me as chart-topping materials like "I'm Not in Love". I managed to get a search result indicating that an AM station used that style of identification for a four-digit frequency. Hitting the stands 50 years ago today: https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Invaders_Vol_1_1

    The dark side of that scene was a callousness about both the soldiers fighting there and the consequences for the people living there.

    The counterculture who'd been rallying against it for so many years probably felt otherwise. I didn't. Got me. I edited that one a bit because in immersive retro context, it seemed wrong to put the retronym on as if it were the actual title of the series. Made me wonder if the awards...

    Future of Paramount+ among merger talks

    Well, I don't think we need a new thread for every odd piece of news about Paramount that has no explicit Trek connection. I've merged this one with the ongoing Paramount merger thread.

    Yeah, that whole angle seemed forced. He was trying to allay her skepticism about where he was from, but he could've just made up an ape planet-friendly story.
