When I was in college, I happened to catch the end of an old Gidget episode while waiting for Jeopardy to come on, and I saw the boyfriend-of-the-week on the screen and said, "Oh, my God, it's Captain Furillo!" Sure enough, when the credits popped up a few minutes later, the name "Danny Travanty" was featured.
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Oh, God, Captain Furillo probably imprinted me for life, Kathy.(I was probably too young. But it was Mom's Favorite Thing Ever. Apple, tree, it's a thing for a reason.) But it's funny the stuff they do Before They're Famous.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
My favorite is Clint Eastwood as an absent-minded scientist in a sequel to Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Are you guys, particularly the L.A.istas, familiar with FIDM?
It's a Fashion Design school in LA and it has an exhibit of Hollywood costumes going on RIGHT now -- including costumes from RotK and PotC!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ooh! Amazing -- they'll also have Lemony Snicket costumes!

AMC is kind of bush league, but when you need to see a minor horror flick from the 70s about a hundred million times, they're the place to go.
'Zactly. They show '90's movies all the time, too -- "classic" seems to mean "whatever we can afford the rights to."
But last night, Scream 2 was about my speed, so I'm not complaining.

It's funny--after seeing the complaint about AMC changing its format here, I was listening to the radio at home and heard the host complaining about other channels doing the same (Game Show Network hosting Extreme Dodgeball and Fear Factor instead of High Rollers and What's My Line; TVLand now showing MacGuyver instead of just the old black-and-white shows from the 50s and 60s).
