But that opening sequence, "We control the vertical. We control the horizontal," is as good as it gets.Clayton Cramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258083387204776812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-17591465895569227582017-06-25T18:21:33.448-06:002017-06-25T18:21:33.448-06:00Definitely a classic.

I think it was KTLA Ch 5. in Los Angeles that was the station which played many hours of it during the summer back then (but then that was ~40 years ago so my memory is hazy).<br /><br />ME TV (Boise 9.2 shows 2 half hour episodes every weekday). I scored the entire 1st season for a few dollars...would like to get the entire disk set as opposed to watching it via streaming but I will wait till when I can get it for no more than $1-$2 per disk.<br /><br />For one season the shows were hour long and those are rarely shown. Every now and then I catch one of those I haven't yet seen or a half hour show that I don't remember. James Doohan (Scotty) is in one of those hour shows as a gas station attendant.<br /><br />Don't forget the Outer Limits as well. Another great anthology series. MeTV is also now showing that Sundays from 12AM to 2AM (MST--for you hard core insomniacs and night owls).whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10067896665279403979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-11850427094506082372017-06-24T22:32:37.766-06:002017-06-24T22:32:37.766-06:00McCarthy turned out to be correct.

The problem is that so many people in our .gov were in that category, that accomplishing anything was near impossible.<br />The US, and other allies, supported the Soviets from day one. Our Progressives trained them in defeating the Czars and others. Without our support, they would have never lasted. Our State Dept were Soviet cheerleaders for 70 years. Probably still are.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-954998414705969762017-06-24T19:19:16.400-06:002017-06-24T19:19:16.400-06:00I keep it in my queue all the time.

Shatner has just arrived. The dialog is roughly the following:<br /><br />JL: How was your flight?<br />WS: It was awful. There was this horrible thing on the wing.<br />JL: The same thing happened to me!Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182006753321917208noreply@blogger.com
