A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Last night I saw the Episode of
Columbo
with '70s Baltar in it. Sadly, he was not the killer, just a PI that Columbo essentially blackmailed to give up info on the killer. Oh, and I am such an aviation geek - you know how in '70s TV shows, when they showed someone traveling by air, they often showed stock footage of the jetliner's landing gear extending (and then wheels touching the ground), filmed by a camera in the plane's belly? And how the stock footage of the landing gear is often from a completely different plain type than the plane they show landing? Like, they'll show a 727 landing, and cut to stock footage of a 747's landing gear extending. Well, on this episode of
columbo,
they showed the a character flying in a 727, but the landing gear footage was from a B-52 bomber, which has a very unusual landing gear configuration. Weird.
Anyway, re: the new Baltar - I'm wondering if his increased wackiness is because he's going down, and soon. Like his character's arc is playing out (at least in his current capacity of VP) - maybe we'll see Brig!Baltar for the rest of the season.
At least he would have sexy company in the brig.
I have seen the Friday night shows, but I watched when too tired and must watch again. I do remember that SG-1 was rollicking good fun.

aka Kor the Klingon.
The A-Team is on TV Land right now, and a very young Dennis Haysbert is one Murdock's health care attendants.
One of my favorite "spot the future TV star" moments was in college, when I caught the last few minutes of an old Gidget ep. Her boyfriend du episode was definitely familiar, but I couldn't figure it out until the end credits, when I saw the name "Danny Travanty" listed. So strange to see such a young Capt. Furillo!!
About a decade before he was on "ER," George Clooney was on a short lived sitcom named "E/R"...as an intern.
It was his first TV series, after that he went to "The Facts of Life" for a season as George.
You should have seen the hair...
Yep.
It was only slightly longer on E/R: [link]

Which starred Mary McDonnell (and Elliott Gould).

That's right. Mary took over for Marcia Strassman.
Elliot was "the big named star" for the series.
ETA; it also had Jason Alexander, as the toady of "Mr Sheinfeld"
I enjoyed Conchata Ferrell as Head Nurse Thor. She had a country singer husband who was never shown, but he wrote a song for her called "Love Handles."
