    Official 30-minute Toy Commercials thread

    As a background on the creation of this thread, around the time of the pandemic, some of y'all know I was hospitalized for like an entire month. Needless to say, I spent a lot of time on the internet. I came basically watching a lot of older stuff that I have probably forgotten. When watching...

    20th century tv series you've seen mostly (or completed)

    Just that simple; going back to television series pre 2000 that you have seen most of if not all of. Lately, mostly from last year I have been watching a lot of tv series from the past. Just not a big fan of modern television. Trying to catch up by binging older fare I grew up with, especially...

    Louise Fletcher dead at 88

    The one woman who kinda gave me the creeps with those cold blue eyes. The original Nurse Ratched was such a classic film villain. I will also remember her for DS9 villain Kai Winn. I remember an interview with her about "One Flew Over" where she said she stripped naked and shouted "look" on set...

    Peter Straub dead at 79

    Peter Straub always came off as the classic American alternative. There's Coke or Pepsi, McDonald's or Burger King, Seinfeld or Friends, and then there's Stephen King or Peter Straub. Heck he even had an alternative female titled novel King with Carrie, Straub with Julia. I've only read one of...

    Clu Gulager dies at 93

    No offense intended, but this was someone I thought was gone already. I had always pegged him as "that old white guy". I had mostly remembered him for TV appearances and getting killed in Horror movies. RIP Mr. Gulager...

    David Warner dies at 80

    I'm really saddened by this one. I grew up watching his films. One of my earliest memories is him as Evil in Time Bandits, which I saw in theaters. Seen him multiple things since then, with his distinct voice. Mostly villains in Tron, Time After Time, even the Cardassian interrogator on a...

    Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman

I recently inherited my late mother's dvd collection, and was surprised at how relevant it is in these days, racism, vaccines, pandemic, others.

    Don't know if anyone has visited or revisited this podcast of Saget's. He seemed like a pretty good host going back to his AFHV days. I only discovered this after his passing, and it may be just morbid for some, but for me honorable to go back. I have been a fan of these types of shows about...

    Has nostalgia pretty much taken over the culture?

    It seems to me, as time moves forward we keep referencing nostalgia. We can not escape it. I mean, I still can't grasp why we're making old concepts new again like Man from UNCLE. Something some young people have never seen one episode of. On top of this, we take those nostalgic concepts and...
