Random, stupid things on your mind

Match Game was awesome!

I love that brunette with the Dutch boy haircut. Very bubbly and incredibly cute. I have looked up a few of those people from the show, the girl I'm thinking of was even featured in a local newspaper within the last few years. It's pretty incredible how the interweb can allow you to watch somebody from it game show 40 years ago, and find out about them now.

Yay YouTube!

Check out the Liar's Club from that era as well.  Hosted by Betty White's hubby.

Great to see you around PBS - hope things are going well back home.

Perhaps we could all benefit from a working out thread? Advice and what not?

I'd be down for that. I've been reading and studying up on this but I'm very much a complete novice. YouTube has been awesome too for ideas and inspiration. Here's a little skinny git that has some criticism of the Bowflex 552's but he's been sticking with it. 52 pounds each arm! I'm pretty impressed.

I didn't realize how much I would like the iFit app for the treadmill. It really helps to keep the dreariness of just plodding along away. Here's a dippy HSN video of my exact treadmill model.

Other random things on my mind, with all the celebrities dying someone needs to protect Betty White at all costs!!!

Love Betty!

Betty White leads me to remember that I discovered the Buzzr Channel when I got a digital antenna and I am hooked on Match Game. I missed out when it was first aired because I wasn’t born until 1975. I absolutely love Brett Somers and Charles Nelson Reilly and of course Betty White.

I discovered MeTV through OTA. There's a lot of good stuff still on.

I saw a photo of her at a garden party function.  Same basic haircut, just thinned (not as ball-shaped) .  She's probably 70 about now. Appears to not be subject of any of the obits, because she had two sons, unlike the dead Dorothys.

When binging Star Trek, Bonanza, Adam-12, whatever, I Google the actors, original airdates, even the businesses in the background on location shoots (especially cool for Adam-12 and Emergency).

Re-watching him throwing his arms up and going down past his shoulders I'm realizing his form sucks. He doesn't really have control at all. But I'm still impressed for his first try at such a high (to me) weight.

Ha ha, I do the same thing. It's like I'm making my own little pop-ups with details about what I'm watching.

That's why Pop-up Videos were so enthralling.

... When binging Star Trek, Bonanza, Adam-12, whatever, I Google the actors, original airdates, even the businesses in the background on location shoots (especially cool for Adam-12 and Emergency).

Yeah, I do that too, but usually just for actors I've seen somewhere before and, heh, the good looking actresses...

This summer I've watched more TV than I usually would, with the virus and all shutting everything else down.  At least they ended up running the Tour de France, which is always great and just took up three weeks with evening recaps.

I haven't really watched many old shows until this year, although I do like them.  it's interesting how many different shows some of the actors made appearances in, and how many went on to have shows of their own.

Same here, although I knew it existed.  There are a few other stations that broadcast old shows at least some of the time as well.

What I'm not finding is old cartoons though.  Not even Looney Tunes.

Haha, yeah.

Those old shows also break some of these legendary myths...  I think Steve McQueen was a rather stiff and flat actor.

I think it was an episode of Naked City, I am not sure. The storyline was that he was a jazz musician and this girl got pregnant by him.  I have cardboard boxes from Amazon that have more personality than him.

By the way, I have a Roku TV with the Roku channel, Tubi, Pluto and a few others I can't remember the names of. There is a ton of stuff out there.  The old half hour episodes of Bonanza featured some of the best writing right up there next to the Twilight Zone in terms of quality.
