Now I'm trying to work out if I've ever made it through an entire episode of The Brady Bunch. Maybe. But I seem to have repressed much of the experience.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because books.
There are whole episodes I bet I could recite from memory. Mrs. Marcia Dentist being one of them.

It took all my force not to start calling "Bobby! Cindy!" when I was at the Grand Canyon.
I'm pretty sure my Vancouver-Montreal road trip had a little Grand Canyon detour thanks to that episode.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I am with ita in not having seen any Gilligan's Island or The Brady Bunch.
I like this corner.
In further Tempest discussion, what was the 50's (?) sci-fi flick that was an adaptation of the play?

I know one of the chicks gets her nose broken. And that it sucks to be the middle sister.
It just never made it across the pond. Three's Company, Sanford and Son, those travelled. Not the stuff with the kids. Or the stranded travellers.

I like it too. My mother liked Gilligan and the Bradys and thought they were good, wholesome fare for the family. I winced all through TV viewing, and she always complained that I was reading a book when everyone else was watching TV.
She also thought Johnny Quest (the original, thank you) was too violent.

Forbidden Planet?
Which I get confused with Fantastic Planet. So either (or neither) may be what you are looking for.
