another poster mentioned a few of the 80s hour long dramas got me to thinking.............and thinking back but not too far (thanks to Hulu)..............another 80s series i much enjoyed was Moonlighting. it was quite unique in it's dialog and that many members of the "team" never spoke but did oft...

i didn't really pay it much attention until it got by me a ways, that part of 295 is 4-6 lanes wide each side through there and i was pulling a small piece of equipment behind me running 65mph and was getting passed like i was tied to a tree! but it was a newer, sporty type family car i believe. JD

Burn Notice is okay, like another said the lead takes some getting used to and the Character Sam is right on time! other than 24, i really don't watch much Mainstream Media shows anymore. usually History, Discovery, TVLand or Hulu get my attention. today as if it's not bad enough we have to have all...

surf ski glasses

more than likely, not that i know to be exact though............the glacier glasses worn by TM where made by either Julbo or Cebe. frame & lens styles change somewhat over time but Cebe still has the exact frames in their lineup. don't think Julbo still has the round lens available though? joe

think the original was used on the opening for the 1st 9, and on the 9th show's ending they used the Post score for the 1st time? i could be wrong as it has been a long time but that's what comes to my mind. i really liked the extended Pilot version best of all though. yes it was reminiscent of the ...
