| 33074 | Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus To Close After 146 Years | It's kind of sad to see this go, not being able to take my own kids to it. But hey, things change and this just isn't as big a deal anymore. At least I got to go a couple of times as a kid. | Rick Ace Rhodes | Jan 16, 2017 |  |
| 33073 | Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus To Close After 146 Years | With all the attention this is getting do you think attendance for the final shows will set new records? | eddstarr | Jan 16, 2017 | |
| 33072 | Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus To Close After 146 Years | <p>They came through last summer. We talked about going but never did. They aren't using the elephants anyways. It looked like they have shows through May but all back east. </p> | NLogan | Jan 16, 2017 | |

But the show's creators soon realized that the audience numbers were growing as the show morphed more into sci-fi/fantasy storylines. </div><div><br></div><div>By 1966, it seemed like everybody was getting into the "far-out" world of fantasy. "The Avengers" did that fantasy thing with more style than their competition. </div><div><br></div><div>Besides, the intro alone was a cut above many home-grown TV series:</div><div><br></div> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/10QW3Az1FTw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> | eddstarr | Jan 16, 2017 | |

| 33068 | Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus To Close After 146 Years | There's a few more shows NLogan, check their schedule, might not be too late. They do have a showing in Philadelphia I'm looking into. | vkimo | Jan 16, 2017 | |

Granted, I rank it below all of the other Batman movies, but I don't find it to be terrible like most do.</div> | Superman | Jan 15, 2017 | |
| 33065 | 1960s: The Ultimate Entertainment Decade? | <div><br></div>Pick any genre. When it comes to 60's entertainment "unreality" is the key.<div><br></div><div>Sure, there were a few folks that wanted real-to-life stories. But most people in the 60's wanted to escape reality. We wanted to travel to other galaxies, have magical powers or have incredible adventures.</div><div><br></div><div>Entertainment is not reality - it never has been. Tales of the unbelievable and the amazing has always been the backbone of entertainment.</div><div><br></div><div>Take a show like Patrick McGoohan's, "The Prisoner":</div><div><br></div><img src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/e7/3b/9f/e73b9f5523fb7ff22713b85315de015a.jpg"><div><br><div>After resigning, Britain's top spy is gassed to sleep. He wakes up in a strange place called "The Village. Who runs the place? Where is this place? Is there any way to escape from this place?</div><div><br></div><div>Everyone should save a copy of Episode One - "Arrival" from "The Prisoner" It is the first and only appearance Guy Doleman, my personal favorite "Number 2" from the entire series.
