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:
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.
And how many kids today even know what the horizontal and the vertical are, far less how to adjust them?
Well, it doesn't matter, does it? Because we control them!
Oh, damn. That was a good one, Aimee.
Sad that I know it by heart.
"And now for something completely different..." / "IT'S..."
How did Charlie's Angels go? "Once upon a time there were three girls..."
Ah. Here we go.
DAMN, this one scared me:
"There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The Outer Limits."
