    They called me (switch to high pitch) "Man Who Tell War Stories"

    Edie Pegden Later Episodes

    The car scenes worked for me because of their seated nature and not only continued a running gag but did it in the show's way of having characters do things obviously well beyond their abilities. The scenes I feel sad watching are ones like where everyone is at an event (wedding?) and they cut...

    Are You Being Served

    Even IMDb & Wikipedia have very limited info on it which is surprising given the 3 big names attached. My copies are just over 1GB if you'd like me to zip & share them. I live on the gulf coast not far from the Biloxi casinos. Back in the 90s they had quite a number of the classic comedians and...

    Are You Being Served

    YouTube is maybe where I grabbed it, they are only about 68MB each. It's no longer there. Another series I think I grabbed at YouTube (glad I did now because I don't see it online anywhere now other than an odd episode) is an 10 episode (5 unaired) Mel Brooks hotel set farce series from 1989 The...

    Are You Being Served

    I grabbed all 7 episodes of Odd Man Out a while back, don't remember where from. I call it the Mr. Humphries & Elizabeth show (Josephine Tewson was more Elizabeth than Miss Davenport at that time :) )

    Gentle Comedies

    Wesley might have had a chance with a spinoff if it focused on the props and reasons he would always be making outlandish contraptions, something along the line of Canadian show The Red Green Show, where that is a big part. That show ran 15 seasons, 300 episodes.

    How do YOU view the forums / website?

    I don't think desktops will go away until they manage to increase the RAM & storage in the streaming sticks to similar levels. People may abandon them for many things, but specific applications like video work need the horsepower and gamers will keep them selling because of the...

    Gilligan’s Island - American intellectual comedy

    On the other hand he also laid this turkey after Gilligan's Island. Dusty's Trail has been referred to as Gilligan's Island reset in a western, the desire to recapture GI wasn't even hidden all the way to a stand-in for each member of the castaways.

    Gilligan’s Island - American intellectual comedy

    This is my favorite Mrs. Howell moment. She gets to let her hair down (literally) and break character while doing a very good job at keeping up with the girls.

    Gilligan’s Island - American intellectual comedy

    Dawn Wells explanation about clothes They did salvage the ship's radio for parts and also had the radio they listened to which makes me wonder why they had to use a seashell for a speaker when the the phone line washed ashore and they tapped into it.

    Best episode ending

    I can't imagine watching it again, at least anytime foreseeable. Of the years of catching episodes mostly 2fers on Gold I had seen episodes from every era of the show and was familiar with all the characters but when I did my straight through series run earlier this year that was the first time...

    Best episode ending

    So many great ones but I'll tell you what's made me chuckle a couple times recently when it randomly popped into my mind is when they come back for a moment after the credits in Goodnight Sweet Ferret and the bride coldcocks Barry:p

    Black Friday

    I'm the last of the ones I grew up with. I have nieces that live together with their kids and I am giving them the 1st projector I bought back in April and a Fire Stick already set up with a bunch of goodies for them to dive right into.

    Gilligan’s Island - American intellectual comedy

    Half of the guests were bad people who would have been in trouble if anyone found out about their time with the castaways, the others were dingbats. :)
