We can't leave out good ol' Ferret Face! I had the pleasure of spending the better part of three days with Larry Linville just a few weeks before the M*A*S*H finale in 1983. He was a fun person and nothing at all in real life like Frank Burns.

Short video of memories of Frank Burns from M*A*S*H episodes

We all loved to hate him before Larry Hagman made "love to hate" a Hollywood goal to achieve with a character.

RIP LL...you were one hell of an actor.

It was a while before I realised that LL was a really competent actor
D - uh!

Hmm ... it's not really my area, but isn't LL a rapper chap?

Dunno; I never liked rapcrap.

I never really did either, but I will give props to LL Cool J. His original stuff was nothing at all like the craprap of today. It was mostly all love songs.

Then the thugs and ghetto gangsta wannabes took over the genre with total garbage. I'll listen to really old and really bad country (beers~tears~divorce) before I will that trash.

Hello, JKD

Does Malcolm McLaren's 'Fans' album count as rap? I quite enjoy that.

You gentlemen can argue about the music, lyrics, and value (or lack of it) of rap. I prefer to just look at LLCoolJ and his beautiful dimples.

Sorry, but the boy wizard's backside is of no interest whatsoever.

Well then, how about something from a different wizard?

Between Dorothy and the munchkins, there must be a few dimples you like.

I get into any version of PW because I was such a pinball addict growing up in the '60s and '70s.

I was so bad my first two years of college that when I graduated from the little community college in my hometown, the president actually awarded me an "extra degree" during the ceremonies: An Associates of Applied Science in Pinball. I can't count how many times I would have 10 or 15 free games racked up and skip classes instead of giving them away.

Fortunately, the university I attended to complete my bachelor degrees didn't have pinball machines in the main student lounge or I would probably have never graduated.

Only an Associate ?
Shame on you !

What was that depressing programme featuring a submarine that never seemed to stay stable ?

That would be...

The "never staying stable" scenes were even more cheesy than the ones on the original Star Trek TV shows. I actually found a short YouTube video of them and can't stop laughing. You have to wonder how many takes they had to shoot every time to get the falling down choreography worked out! LOL

The Seaview (and its crew) rockin' and rollin'

Thank You.
I used to think that the designers of Seaview should have been forced to ride in it.

Especially with what all they put that poor submarine through. It bounced off the sea bottom and underwater rock cliffs all the time and still survived better than any airplane black box would have.

I always got a kick out of the car crashes that were a part of 1950's and '60's television shows. The producers cheaped-out so many times and just used some standard old film stock that was laying around rather than stage an actual accident to film. It was so hilarious to watch a chase scene where the '65 Ford Mustang or '68 Lincoln Continental that was being pursued along a mountain road, suddenly changed into a late 1940's Plymouth when it went over the cliff and exploded in flames.

Then CHiPs hit the TV and they turned car crashes into an art form!

You just know this crash took all sorts of planning!

What was that James Bond film where the car actually turned over in flight crossing a river ?
I remember that mad sheriff !

I presume you mean the corkscrew scene from "The Man with the Golden Gun" using...of all things...a 1974 AMC Hornet. It's still considered one of the best car stunts ever performed in a movie.

This is a compilation of 007 car (and boat) stunts and that one begins at the :38 point...

Bond at his best behind the wheel
