Re: Entire series on sale at $25 on iTunes

Yes, I'm not complaining. I do wish they had used the earlier theme -- I wish they had used the broadcast versions instead of whatever version they are using. But yes, for $25 this is a great deal, and I don't regret the purchase. The more I watch, the more I note the higher resolution. It is easily...

Re: 40th Anniversary Watch Party

Yes, I absolutely love that ending, Ivan. Hard to imagine such an episode being made today.

My wife & I enjoyed watching it Friday night, "live."

Re: Entire series on sale at $25 on iTunes

I synchronized my DVD with the iTunes version, and I note a few things: First, the iTunes version is definitely higher resolution. Second, the iTunes version is darker. Third, the iTunes version is not the original as-aired version like on the original season 1 DVD set: The pilot does not include th...

Entire series on sale at $25 on iTunes

The entire series is on sale for $25 on iTunes right now. I bought it in the hopes that it would be higher quality than my DVDs, but so far it does not seem to be, but to be fair I only watched the first 20-30 seconds of the intro on the pilot. Hopefully it improves, but in any case it'll be nice to...

Re: 40th Anniversary Watch Party

I am definitely looking forward to tomorrow's episode -- Operation: Silent Night -- which is on my annual Christmas viewing list. My wife said she'll watch it with me - she usually does each year. She's a keeper. :)

Re: 40th Anniversary Watch Party

I finished "The Look" last night. Like Ivan, I also enjoy this episode. That one song always makes me think of Tim Hawkins and his Chick-Fil-A song . Of course, it is the song that Tim Hawkins based his on. "Thomas, I don't know what to say... except that it's not my birthday." - lol :magnum: :higgi...

Re: Which Blu-ray Set Is Best?

Thanks - I never knew about that site. Looks like it was on sale a couple weeks ago. I'll watch for it to go on sale again.

Re: Which Blu-ray Set Is Best?

This thread is reminding me, I need to watch for a sale on iTunes. It's $70 today. Maybe it'll go on sale this month; if it does, I'll buy it. I have the DVDs, but would love a HD version. Unfortunately it looks like the iTunes versions of the crossover episodes are the syndicated versions. Not surp...

Re: 40th Anniversary Watch Party

I watched "Squeeze Play" a couple weeks back, and I watched "A Sense of Debt" yesterday after work. "A Sense of Debt" isn't one of my favorites, but it's good enough, and it's fun to see a young Shannen Doherty. She's almost exactly my age (about 4 months younger). I learned today that Shannen Doher...

Re: Momentum Sea Quartz 30

Throwing fuel to the fire: I was in a pattern of wearing my Apple Watch every day. I truly do not care for the Apple Watch (it's not really a watch, it's a Dick Tracy/Star Trek communicator), but as a Mac/iPhone user it is very convenient. I have not worn any watch other than my Momentum, since gett...

Re: Momentum Sea Quartz 30

It really is incredible the satisfaction I get with this $250 watch. All of my other watches are automatics, not counting the few digitals I have which I use in the shop. It’s very accurate, it’s gained 3 seconds since the time change a few weeks ago. Lightweight, just seems to slink along on my wr...

Re: Resolutions (2) (8.13)

I'm always sad when I get to Resolutions. It's not that I dislike the episode, it's that I know it means I'm at the end of the series.

To completes another run through the series for me. I'll take a break, and then start another run sometime in the next year.

Re: Momentum Sea Quartz 30

I had a realization today:

If I had to go down to one and only one watch, it would be this Momentum SQ30. If I had to go down to one watch, I would swap this strap for an oyster bracelet or a NATO style strap.

I am super impressed with this Momentum SQ30.

Finally got my shirt washed and dried today, and boy is it soft! Fits great, and very comfortable. It's definitely going into the rotation!

Re: Momentum Sea Quartz 30

I have been wearing mostly this watch since I got it, but I have also worn my Apple Watch a little too. The more I wear this Momentum watch, the more I like it. This one and my Steinhart Pepsi GMT are now my favorites in my collection. The strap still feels tight, and the watch feels heavy, but that...
