| 29338 | Sitcoms | When it comes to the 1960's it was an embarrassment of riches. From 1965 to 1969 there was too much good stuff.<div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div>What I can't get younger guys to understand was how <span style="font-weight: bold;">Batman</span>, the first live-action series, was competing against some of the best shows television had to offer. <span style="font-size: 10pt;">Take your pick:</span></div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal;">The Addams Family, The Munsters, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, McHale's Navy, Hogan's Heroes. From magic powers to funny Nazis, 60's TV had a variety of sitcoms unlike anything my generation had ever seen, up to that time. </div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div><img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CZ58IyhWwAAnrM6.jpg"><div><br><div><span style="font-weight: normal;">Just take </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">F-Troop</span>. The entire show was politically incorrect and like "Green Acres" may have been ahead of it's time. ABC actually got hate mail because of the "Hekawi Tribe", and it's funny treatment of the first Americans. But it was all for laughs and me and my friends simply found them funny. Frank de Kova as "Chief Wild Eagle" was brilliant! I think the Hekawi Tribe actually stole the show away from Forrest Tucker and Larry Storch. </div><div><br></div><div>Love this balloon scene with "Chief Wild Eagle" and his second in command, "Crazy Cat": </div><div><br></div> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yA_BhX0UdAo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div> | eddstarr | Feb 29, 2016 | |

| 29335 | Last Movie You Watched | Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 (2015) 8/10 I really like the first one and I like this too. I don't care if the critics don't like it. I know it's not a technically great movie and it's not going to win any best of awards but so what. I like it and the first one because they're silly, nice, dumb, light hearted movies and because I've always liked Kevin James. The only bad things were some forced comedy moments and some bad cgi at times. | Jrs1991 | Feb 29, 2016 | |

| 29331 | What song are you listening to? | <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal;">I have gotten in so many arguments over the years with people who get in my face, telling me that 70's music is all about Elton John, the Bee Gees and Disco.

| 29330 | Underrated cartoon characters | Seen a lot of cartoons over my lifetime but nothing surprised me as much as the "Jackie Chan Adventures". Nothing else on Saturday mornings came closer to being an animated soap opera. <div><br></div><div>With all due respect to Jackie Chan, the series would have fallen on its face without "Uncle".</div><div><br></div><div>Just like Master Splinter, Uncle is the glue that holds the series together, and as such I feel he was underrated by many fans of the show. Maybe Uncle was considered "comedy relief" for his one-liners. But I'm certain that the humor was a cover for a character that kept Jackie one step ahead of the bad guys.</div><div><br></div><div>When Tohru joined the J-Team, he and Uncle made quite the pair. Tohru's funny side emerged and Uncle had an ally to shoulder more of the series humor.</div><div><br></div> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YhfbvHorfDw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> | eddstarr | Feb 28, 2016 | |
