June Lockhart was still alive. Who knew? Made it to 100.

I knew.

Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson. A good to mom to Will, Penny and Judy (although she seemed to have relegated her responsibilities to keeping Will out of danger to the Robot). And, I wish she would have been more of a disciplinarian regarding Dr. Smith. She always seemed to want to let him off easy, even after he put her family in harm's way in most every episide. She shoulda told Don to take him out behind the woodshed and let him have his way with him.

I remember her as the “mom” of Lassie. Lassie was always saving her son Tim. Made me wonder sometimes.

How many times does your kid have to fall down the well before you take measures?

We had this discussion a couple of years ago.

Timmy never fell down a well.

Right, that was Bruce Wayne. Timmy got trapped in the cave-in at the old mine.

You think she was trying to get rid of Timmy and the damn dog kept bringing him back? Interesting.
I don't remember Lassie much. That was my sister's thing.

Correct. Timmy was trapped in a nuclear missile silo, a telephone booth, trunk of a '74 Ferrari, and Bruno Hauphtman's basement, but never a well.

 

[ideologyhunter]

You remember the show differently than I do. Ferrari? Bruno H.?? My favorite episode was always 'Secret in the Dark Cassock' (CBS 3/20/1960) in which Timmy is kidnapped by a priest, and Lassie rescues him by biting off the priest's balls.

What a great show Fawlty Towers was.



Only two seasons were made but every episode was a classic.

We recently went to a Fawlty Towers themed dinner and the lady playing Sybil nailed it!

I was a huge Lost in Space fan when I was a kid. Lots of great memories. I liked the episodes when the Jupiter 2 was actually working best.

Years later I got the VHS tapes and saw how utterly stupid most of the episodes were. Except for the first several episodes, and a few scattered ones, most are just dumb!

But when I was 8 years old it was great!

I never really watched Lassie

 

[Elixir]

I never really watched Lassie

Timmy falls in the well. Lassie goes and gets help by tugging on people’s sleeves.
Lather, rinse, repeat 100x.
Then introduce bad guys. Lassie spots them a mile away but nobody believes her, so she has to save everyone from the bad guy all by herself.
Lather, rinse, repeat another 100x.

I just saved you hundreds of hours.

What a great show Fawlty Towers was.

I loved that show. I went through a period when whenever anyone complained that something wasn't working, or some other problem, I'd immediately go into a Basil Fawlty routine and respond "Well it's not my fault!" Eventually I realized that a lot of people didn't get the reference and just thought I was an asshole, so I quit

lol, I understand. I use a few Basil quotes too.

A few more classic scenes



It cracks me up when Basil says "I only picked that one up to annoy you actually"





"can't we get you on Mastermind, Next contestant Sybil Fawlty, from Torquey, special subject the bleeding obvious"

I will have to rewatch this series.
