He was so elegant! I like that in a man, and he could dance!

It's really interesting to watch it with a current perspective. I'm loving it.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

i've been watching this great show called "To Catch a Thief". it stars Robert Wagner as this thief who gets paroled to a mysterious government agency called the SIA to steal for the government. it's set in the late 60s/early 70s, and he wears nehru jackets to formal events and whatnot.

Wasn't it "It Takes a Thief"? "To Catch a Thief" being the classic Hitchcock/Grant/Grace Kelley movie.

I remember watching that and The Saint around the same time.

Also, where is that airing? Or is it on DVD?

yes frank, you're right about the title. I'm watching it right now. He's wearing his formal Nehru jacket now, with the satin collar.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I have to say, the characterization of the hedge fund douchebag was spot-on. I mean, his attitude and the technical things he said sometimes veered towards parody, but I have met that person IRL many times. It was a much more fleshed-out and subtle characterization than I would expect to see in a TV show.

I feel sorry for that actor. He always plays a douchebag. He's very good at it, but oy, the typecasting.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Seriously.

I don't think anything could have made me more gleeful about this show than adding Mark Sheppard in what looks to be a recurring role (that's my assumption, not a spoiler). Except maybe the Kane music, cheesetastic as it was for that scene.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I have to say, the characterization of the hedge fund douchebag was spot-on.

Which show are we talking about now?
