    I'm on season 2 of Rick and Morty. I've heard bad things about the show's fans but the show itself is fine, like an edgier Futurama.

    Just found Thunderbirds on MeTV! It’s been so long since I have seen it that it feels like I have never seen it! I remember watching it as a kid but don’t remember a single thing about the show.

    Watching the Mod Squad weekend on the Decades channel. Oddly it began with 1970s episodes, maybe in hope that they could lead up to the "good" eps from 1969.

    One of my favorites as a kid, I've been watching Zorro on Disney. Antonio Banderas (or Anthony Hopkins for that matter!) were poor substitutions for Guy Williams!;)

    All the episodes are on YouTube. I'm a big fan of Robert Stack.
    I am always surprised by the show's rather graphic (for it's time) depictions of prostitution and drug use.

    The Untouchables was hard-core!;) So much better than the Costner movie.

    I like the movie too, but Stack's badass Eliot Ness kicks the crap out of Costner's.

  16. I don't know. They have all of the original seasons and episodes on HBO Max and they look like the stuff I watched as a kid as reruns, so I don't know what that is.

    Currently watching The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. One of the best 90's shows, and one of the best shows starring an African-American cast.

    Since I’ve been rewatching Newhart I've seen the entire evolution of 80s fashion from 70s preppy to garish pastels, geometric patterns and shoulder pads. The hair getting larger and harder is a bonus.

    I got through the first 4 seasons of Ozzie and Harriet but I need to rest it. I'm thinking Make Room for Daddy. For drama, I'm watching the early 60s shows The Eleventh Hour and Breaking Point.

    MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE '88 - This was the revival in 1988, resurrected by ABC to fill time during a writers' strike. The idea was that they'd re-use the old scripts and film with a new cast of actors playing the old roles. That was soon changed to have the new actors play NEW roles, but Peter Graves would still lead the team. The series was shot in Australia so as not to run afoul of the unions in the US. Several episodes were in fact straight re-do's of the old series, while others were adapted, and still others had new scripts once the strike ended.

    Unfortunately the series was shot on film and edited on videotape like so many late 80s series, meaning that the video is essentially stuck at the old NTSC resolution. The DVDs reflect this with a very soft picture. Interestingly, in order to convey video screens in the series, they further distorted the pictures with giant scan lines.

    This shot is from the pilot episode where Jim Phelps assembles his team. Instead of tossing magazine pictures on a table, he scrolls through videos of his team members. The pilot episode was a straight re-do of the old show's "The Killer". Robert Conrad had been the evil guest in the old series. John De Lancie played the role in this one.
