'War Stories'


Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

There was also "As Time Goes By", which was with Geoffrey Palmer (who is not her husband) but is more recent.

That's repeated all the time on the BBC. Really sweet show.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

CBS Crimetime after Primetime.

Justice may be blind...but it can still see in the dark!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Was that Silk Stalkings, etc.?

The main things I remember from childhood tv are the Love Boat, soaps, and Schoolhouse Rock.

Yeah -- I just wiki'ed it and it was Forever Knight, too, but I pretty much only associate Dark Justice with it.

Good times.

My moving company just called to ask if they could come tomorrow morning instead of afternoon. Hmmm. She said afternoon would be OK, but I can't decide what's better! I mean, I think I can be done packing tonight, but my friend wasn't planning on coming over until mid-afternoon, and basically my whole mental schedule is based on leaving late. I wish the options were not only first thing in the morning, or late afternoon!

Chik-fil-a

It's just mean to mention Chik-fil-a to a Southern girl now living in Chik-fil-a-less Los Angeles. Dying for a sandwich and waffle fries now!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'd go with morning, Jesse. That way if it takes longer than you think it won't matter as much.

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

Dying for a sandwich and waffle fries now!

You've just made me crave Roscoe's. I haven't had that in an age.

A Fine Romance! That's it. Even as a hardened cynic teen I loved that show. At the time my sister was a classmate of Judi Dench's daughter, so I felt spuriously extra connected to the show.

I loved Silk Stalkings, even as I knew it was crap. Never saw Forever Knight until cable reruns though--was Silk Stalkings paired with anything else?

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

I pretty much got to watch what I wanted when I was a kid, but bed time was strictly enforced, so I didn't get to see much in the way of later shows. The big exceptions were when my dad wanted to watch movies, which I was usually OK with as I usually watched them with him (he favored Westerns, War movies and slapstick comedies), or sports, which was problematical as I pretty much hated them all back then. He only watched hockey or basketball if the Boston teams were in the playoffs, but he was huge on watching baseball, football and, later on, golf. Daytime TV I lost to either getting sent out to play (kicked out so Mom could get a break is more like it - imagine that happening today) or when Mom was still watching Days of Our Lives.

Looking back, where did I get the time? Among many others, I was watching Warner Bros. cartoons, Tom & Jerry, Woody Woodpecker, old movies, Three Stooges, Star Trek TOS, MASH (sometimes four times a day if new episodes were airing), Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, occasional episodes of random shows (Odd Couple, Dick van Dyke, Lucille Ball), British shows when I could find them (Monty Python, The Prisoner, The Two Ronnies, Reginald Perrin, The Goodies - that list goes on), Hill Street Blues and Dognose how many shows that got cancelled ahead of their time (I'm thinking mainly of Quark here, but there were others). I also will shamefully cop to having seen every episode of both The Brady Bunch and Gilligan's Island. Multiple times. I'm sure there was more.

On top of this I somehow found the time to be a voracious reader.

My fave teen/college shows were Moonlighting and Twin Peaks.
