Random, stupid things on your mind

I would think that the Lawrence welk production team would have online streaming. They all ended up just 30 or 40 miles east of me in an area near Escondido, California.

It was easy to watch because it was just before British comedy night on our PBS station.  Shows like Red Dwarf, Murder Most Horrid, etc...

Red Dwarf is great!  I'm going to check to see if it's on around here

I think Red Dwarf is on Pluto TV...  I don't know if it is its own channel or if it were part of the British Channel.  I watched it on a Roku TV, so I may be off...

If you like Saunders & French, I really recommend checking out Murder Most Horrid.  It was a fun show, Dawn French really shines (moreso than Vicar of Dibley).  I only saw it in 1999 or so and haven't seen it anywhere since.  I went on a trip and came back and the time slot was filled with a different show...

Here's a connection out of nowhere...

I have been watching channel 905 on Roku's version of pluto.tv...

First was the movie Wings over America. Followed by Prince's Sign o' the Times

The connection?  Sheila E from Prince's band and Denny Laine from Wings both lived off the 215 South of Las Vegas back around 2005-2010. Just a few miles from each other.

I have nothing better to do than to connect dots, thanks.

Does anybody remember The Adventures of Brisco County Jr?

There was an actor on the first season of Star Trek TNG who kind of looked and sounded familiar. Turns out that he was on BCJ...  I remember loving the vibe of that show and being entertained by it.

Back when TV was a little more of a monopoly, cable existed but I don't think it was 400 channels yet...

(I avoided making a cute little pussy joke there, kitten... 🙄🙄🙄🙄)

Did Kolby's death ever make the papers?  Anyone?

Well I didn't grow up with that many channels. I was raised primarily on Sesame Street VHS, PBS. Disney, cartoon network, Nickelodeon, and eventually branched out. OH and Law and Order... Which I am surprised is still a big thing after a billion years.

L&O was/is an emotionally and intellectually engaging show, any good procedural is...  Just like...  Wait for it...  Art Bell's C2C! 😁😁😁

Quality has a great shelf life.  I still think one of the best written and well-acted shows of all time are the 1/2-hour episodes of Gunsmoke. Right up there with Twilight Zone.

In the last year or two, I've done binges of Real Love, Kimmy Schmidt, Six Feet Under, The Office, Parks and Recreation (Chris Pratt's character is not good for binging), The Good Place.  4 of those shows are related by writers, production teams and casts.  I still prefer Star Trek TNG.

Keep meowing, Spooksie!

Jack of All Trades was my Bruce Campbell TV show of choice. It only lasted a season and a half. I still remember being really sad tuning into and instead of see Jack it was another episode of the not as good Cleopatra2525 and when they next week was the same thing, I figured Jack got cancelled. But I did get my hands on the entire series on DVD.

Bruce Campbell has a good energy.  Enjoyed whenever I've seen him.

Here's a completely random video

Thanks @sean92008.  "Don't you cats know that PolkaJazz is strictly from Squaresville." LOL!  I love good ol' Jack Imel on drums throwing up the peace sign.

You know, if LW what is doing his gig today, I bet you there would be some controversy. Maybe you would get tagged with the "cult leader" title.  😁😁😁😁 Wholesomeness and discipline... er, well...

@sean92008   Oh yeah.  He wouldn't last very long unless he became more diverse.  There was one moment during a show, long ago, where Arthur Duncan put on a heck of a tap performance and after he was done LW came out, shook his hand, praised his talent, and said he was "a credit to his race."  It was cringe worthy and that would be the death of the show today.
