That's why I'm single. My childhood expectations as to what women of the future would be like were never met....
The money was too good. I got stupid.

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

Holy shit! Purple haired UFO girl is Nick Drake's sister.

Laughing so hard right now. Did someone say UFO took place in the 1980s? When we evolved purple hair?
Now I am wondering if there's a species with purple hair.

Early 70s. And that character was an alien, I think.

Huh? I'm pretty sure it was set in 1980.

Happy Birthday, Debet Esse!
We won't talk about the amount of 20th century history I know because of Quantum Leap
This reminds me of that "B-Minus Time Traveler" skit on The Ben Stiller Show where Janeane Garofalo was a 20th century student whose poor grasp of history resulted in figures from the past completely screwing up their recorded memorable events after talking to her.
I want to see a new version of that with someone whose only "knowledge" of myths and ancient history is from watching Xena.

I knew people with purple hair in the 80s. IJS.

Yeah. I had Cherry Cola hair in the 80s.

I like to think I'd make a good time traveler, but my primary philosophy would be along the lines of the Prime Directive, with a side of do NOT cause Grandfather Paradox

I am getting to the bottom of this, because plaintiffs' counsel's brief is making me crazy. Anyway. According to this [link] UFO was set in the 1980s (which is what I meant) and the purple-haired lady was a military officer. You can tell this wikipedia entry is entirely accurate because of this, my favorite line:
UFO was Anderson's first series with live actors, but he had long experience with the one-hour format, good scripts, and exemplary production values.
