One of Lex Luthor's Blue Bottles of Water?
Professor X's wheelchair?
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And "I was falsely accused of a hideous crime...", although maybe not so famous.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit! These men promptly escaped from a maximum-security stockade to the Los Angeles underground! Today, if you have a problem, if no one else can help -- and if you can find them -- maybe you can hire... THE A-TEAM!"

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
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. There's no pretty way to put this: I grew up in the suburbs. I guess most people think of the suburb as a place with all the disadvantages of the city, and none of the advantages of the country, and vice versa. But, in a way, those really were the wonder years for us there in the suburbs. It was kind of a golden age for kids.
Damn, I loved that show.

If I only had a brain...
"Do not attempt to adjust your TV set..."
Right. And how many kids today even know what the horizontal and the vertical are, far less how to adjust them?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Hey, guys, I'm trying to remember famous opening monologues, voiceovers that started shows. Here are three I know of:
Well, the obvious one - "Space, the final frontier..."
Also - "Steve Austin - astronaut - a man barely alive..."
Also - "Where am I?" / "In the village." / etc.

Oops. We're late.
"In the jungles... of Peru..." Okay, not that famous. I just needed to say it.

"In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two seperate yet equally important groups: the police who investigate the crime, and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders.
These are their stories."
Dum dum.
