Oh, wait, it's not all families with kids?
Nope, not all two parents/two kids.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
If you want me to, I'll have it now.
Absolutely!
Not so knowledgeable on Israeli tv.

Well, then, it's done. Happy day for you!

See, and I only linked to the ones which are not Israeli.

I know of Time Tunnel, though I don't think I've ever actually seen it. None of the rest, though

The Time Tunnel is how I learned about the Titanic. One of the episodes (maybe the first?) took place on board that ship, and that was the first time that I've heard of it. Also, the name of one of the main characters is Doug. The Hebrew word for "fish" is pronounced the exact same way. It took me years to realize what's going on with that. English was much more confusing when I was too young to know anything about it.

We won't talk about the amount of 20th century history I know because of Quantum Leap (or at least knew when I was a kid. I like to think I'd have gotten here by now, either way).

This is true for many native speakers, as well

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes, the first episode.
Funny how they just randomly ended up in historically significant times....

Heh. It's always funny to look back at stuff that was so mystifying as a kid...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Time Tunnel eventually succumbed to the same problem that Sliders did. The producers decided that the original premise of hopping around from place to place wasn't good enough, they had to go around hopping from place to place and battle evil alien invaders.
So the Time Tunnelers would travel to the Old West, and there would be flying saucers and shit.

A friend of mine aced an history exam thanks to knowledge she picked entirely out of "Winds of War" (I"m not sure about the name of the book - a novel about an American family in WWII). If I didn't read historical books, I'd know way less than the embarrassingly-little I know now about history, at all.

I have an even more silly story about how I didn't understand something in Hebrew. It was my former roommate's favorite story for a time. She used to introduce me to people as "that girl from that name confusion story". Sadly, however, it only works in Hebrew, because it's a misunderstanding of an Hebrew word that becomes an Hebrew name, and before you know it I've named the wolf from Little Red Riding Hood.
[Edit:
if tommyrot knows a show, why am I not surprised that Tom knows about it, too? I'm so glad that you do!
