Dadrian Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Does baseball count as a tv show? In the summer I add MLB to Miami Vice. I’ve been an avid fan of both for my basically my entire life. Any MLB fans here? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball...the sport where you can turn on the TV, take a three hour nap, and come back and find it exactly how it was when you started. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the same way about golf and the last two minutes of any football game... Not much of a sports guy, but I do like hockey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been an avid fan of both for my basically my entire life. Any MLB fans here? I watch/ listen to a lot more baseball in the summer too. I’ve followed the Pirates since I was a kid in the 70’s and played little league and ultimately for my high school team. Following the Bucs hasn’t been easy since ‘79. I’m in education so have more time in the summer months. I find that I do other things while it’s on and tend to use the DVR to rewind if I miss seeing something. I also listen to games on the radio occasionally while I’m working on my boat. It’s about the only professional sport I pay any attention to anymore, but I love the NCAA Tourney, having played college ball myself and coached at my high school.

I thought of that as soon as I read Robbie’s post. I had a little self restraint. Seriously, I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with hockey. My father was Canadian and a massive Habs fan for his whole life. He took me more than once to see them play the Kings at the Forum here in LA back in the 70’s. NO ONE was a hockey fan in LA in the 70’s. Now that he’s gone, I think of those days fondly, but at the time I remember thinking why didn’t he care about the Super Bowl or World Series like my friend’s fathers. They won the Stanley Cup my last year in college in ‘93 and I saw they were just in the finals. I still don’t like hockey though!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicefan7777 Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 When I was growing up in Michigan I was a sports fanatic. The Tigers, Lions, Red Wings, Pistons, even golf I was watching. Today I do not watch any sports. But I do watch the Super Bowl only because I will place a bet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was quite accurate from a pure police procedural aspect. Burton Armus (former NYPD detective) was technical advisor. Telly Savalas was terrific for the part. I vaguely remember watching Charlie's Angels and Vega$ (Robert Urlich) from the 80s re-runs but never got into these shows. I know what Hawaii Five-0 is all about but I've never seen an episode. They even made a reboot of that classic show. Kojak tried desperately to be like "The French Connection" but had suffered with atrocious acting and it was goofy as well. Fast forward this video to 9:46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie C. Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 The reboot of Five-0 isn't bad, but they do love multi-episode plot arcs and I think the show went downhill a bit when they had a major casting change about halfway through the run. Vega$ was a Michael Mann show. It wasn't bad, but I think it suffered from Mann's short attention span when it comes to TV. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Duke's in that scene though, so that's awesome to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that sounds like the Mann when it comes to TV; I love Robert Urich though (I've also always been a fan of the 1985 film "Turk 182!", which also stars Timothy Hutton & lots of other fun performers such as Kim Cattrall, Robert Culp, Darren McGavin, James Tolkan, Peter Boyle, and Paul Sorvino in a cameo. I know a lot of people think the film's corny, but I like its rebellious, underdog spirit). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked the “Five-0” reboot...but I’m also a huge fan of the Jack Lord original, too! VEGA$ was created by Mann...and he originally envisioned Dan Tanna to be a brooding personality who was sometimes unshaven & sometimes drank too much (who does that sound like? ). But, early on Aaron Spelling took over and most of Mann’s ideas & involvement were basically thrown out. I love VEGA$, although it was still your 70s, “Charlie’s Angels” (which I also love) type show...where the good guys get the bad guys & sometimes there are happy endings.

RedDragon86 Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) Finished watching season 1 of "Ozark" and its terribly written. There is absolutely no plot development and there is no time for a character to figure out who was responsible for something so they would just completely jump to a conclusion. Can't believe this is highly rated. Edited July 25, 2021 by RedDragon86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdiegolo78 Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) Watched a random Streethawk episode last night ("murder is a novel idea"), and guess who was in it as guest star: (love that expression in her face ) Judging Belinda's look in this episode, it must have been shoot in the same period as the MV 1st season episodes she featured in (mid to late '84). By the way, as well as Knightrider, DJ was considered for the lead in this show Edited September 8, 2021 by sdiegolo78 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewRemington Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 I've been rewatching Star Trek TOS, but it's leaving Netflix September 30th! I need to buy the DVD set. It's kind of nostalgic to me because I watched it a bit with my parents growing up (reruns on various channels). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at my community's public library and every week there is a table with stuff they are selling. A month ago I picked up the dvd box set of TOS and TNG for $10. Hope you get through all the episodes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it “suffered” any lack of ideas, and it was awesome for its time! By the early 2000s, Robert Urich had already done several Spenser: For Hire reunion TV movies, and he was thinking about doing a VEGA$ reunion (as he always felt it had been canceled way too soon). But, tragically he was diagnosed with cancer around the same time, so sadly the VEGA$ reunion never came about.

I usually just watch one episode a night (if that). I’d like to buy the series, I might just look online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdiegolo78 Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) Been watching Max Headroom. Remember it? When i was a kid i was aware of the music TV program where the talking head was used to link video clips. These are the British TV movie and the adapted US TV series with the same leading actors: The leading actor (playing the reporter Edison Carter and Max as well) Matt Frewer was Cliff King in the Burnett saga episodes of S5...that's according to IMDB. Great show, ahead of its time, one of the first to anticipate a media and TV dominated future, media manipulation, politically correctness etc...a fulfilled prophecy.
