I took a train to Chicago. Upon entering the hotel room I turned on the TV. Guess what? A rerun of Law and Order. Its like the show followed me to Chicago. On the trip back I go to the Lounge car. Some guy is streaming . . . you guessed it . . . a rerun of Law and Order. What's happening? Have I entered some kind of weird alternate universe? Short answer, yes, you probably have. Some of these variant universes show so little difference as to be almost undetectable. In one, the only change is my shoe size, from an 8 1/2 mens to a 9. First things I check when I wake up are my shoes. Then, I turn on the TV to see if I'm in the "Law and Order" universe--sometimes, like with you, it seems to be on in every universe, ugh. And I've already seen every episode. Bulgakov Edited September 12, 2019 by Bulgakov 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Suzanne Somers left the show should have been over. They tried to bring in other characters to fit her role but none of them were good at all. Terri was my favorite of the blondes, and my favorite Threes Company character period [the others being Mr. Furley and Larry]. Most fans don't seem to like her. I like Cindy too, even if she could be a bit grating at times. Jennilee Harrisson had practically no acting experience when she was cast, and I think it's far harder to do this kind of comedy than anyone would expect. Suzanne Somers was brilliant in her role, and the writers credited her as truly creating the Chrissy character. Season 4 was also the year Lana appeared. I think Ann Wedgeworth was smashing. I think she would have made a great reoccurring guest star. It's a shame the writers didn't consider that. She didn't quite work as a regular, as the writers soon discovered. They gave her nothing to do but chase around Jack. Edited September 14, 2019 by SqueezeWax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Furley was great. The show would have been better if he was the landlord the whole time. The Ropers were duds and the spinoff The Ropers was even worse. What were they thinking? You will sure never see that show on tv again. Jenilee Harrison was much better on Dallas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hocico Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Evil twins - Darlene and Charlene came up with a cunning way of defrauding the DOD and by proxy the American taxpayer by millions of dollars. As contractors supplying the DOD they realised that they could change the amount of postage for the shipping the goods to the DOD to ludicrously large amounts of money and there was no oversight going on at the other end so the invoices got paid and they were getting $500000 for shipping a 19 cent bolt to the military. $21 million dollars later and their crimes finally caught up with them.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Shirley Temple is on this morning. Maybe I should start acting like her and just start singing and dancing out of nowhere. Maybe I should pretend this life is a musical from now on. Everyone already thinks I'm nuts so why not? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SqueezeWax Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Suzanne Somers singing a broadway tune called Take Back Your Mink, interspersed with a dramatic monologue about a violent incident involving her alcoholic father and a tennis racket when she was a little girl. It has to be seen to be believed. I can't fathom what she was thinking. I've watched it five times. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I'm watching more of the Friday the 13th movies I taped on Friday. It's been so long since I've watched them. This one is A New Beginning. I probably spent more money today for my lunch than they put into this movie's budget. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resistor Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I finished "Travelers" yesterday. Time travel stories really annoy me when they undo the whole plot progression by going back in time to change history. Everybody knows you can't change history. In my humble opinion, "Twelve Monkeys" (film) is a great story with a convincing time travel plot. Terry Gilliam is a genius. Following this thread and hope to pick up some tips on what to watch next. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I see is an interesting example of what''s been called "method" or "character" acting. Like Brando, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Christian Bale, Suzanne is reaching into her own past to inform her role. Method acting became popular among artists at the end of WWII, early Fifties, when it was used by an acting teacher named "Stanislavski." She seems to be dredging up painful memories of her own child hood, to show us the bones of her interpretation of the song I guess? I don't know, but I think it's what she's showing us.
