Lorne ,'Time Bomb'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Hey, guys, I'm trying to remember famous opening monologues, voiceovers that started shows. Here are three I know of:
1. Try THIS for a deep dark secret. 2. My name is t deleted. I'm an astronaut. 3. In every generation, there is a ...

And "I was falsely accused of a hideous crime...", although maybe not so famous.

1968, I was twelve years old. A lot happened that year. Dennis McLain won 31 games, The Mod Squad hit the air, and I graduated from Hillcrest Elementary and entered junior high school...but we'll get to that.
