Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania Superthread

I grew up watching reruns of WKRP In Cincinnati ... I'd watch it after school, and almost all the jokes went over my head.

Except for Les Nessman and the Thanksgiving turkeys.

"As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."

So I guess Khan and I are about to get shunned for not liking the Beatles?

The Shadows were earlier and did so much more for music.

Their first hit was a whopping two years earlier. They really are from the same era.

But yeah, total shun.

 

[Screwtape2]

My problem with Abbey Road is that the only good songs are I Want You (She's So Heavy), Because and Something. Here Comes The Sun and Come Together are pretty meh in my opinion. The rest is weak and needs more development or just plain isn't good enough to be on an album.

 

[Reggo]

Pfan, Frank Sinatra called Something the most beautiful love song ever written.

Again, no pressure.

I the anothology version with the omitted bridge. Just George and his guitar and a rough vocal...

 

[blueeyedgirl]

Never saw it

OK I'm at work and I had to log in just to reiterate: WHAT!!!!!!!!!! How can you have grown up and not seen Get Smart!!!!!! Kids today! PHAIL, PHAIL, PHAIL!!!

How may superthread posts do I have altogether?

not counting this thread, 681.

It's one of the first shows I think of when I think of "old classic shown around 4:30-5:30pm after the kids programming but before the news", along with M*A*S*H, Bewitched, Hogan's Heroes, and to a lesser extent, I Dream Of Jeannie.

That's funny - I totally grew up with that same kind of afternoon programming, and Get Smart was never one of those shows. But all those other ones you mentioned were!

the beatles suck.

 

[phillyfan26]

The only two songs I'd heard were Come Together and Here Comes the Sun, the latter being arguably my favorite Beatles track aside from A Day in the Life.

 

[coolian2]

The original Get Smart lacks Anne Hathaway, so it's inferior anyway.

Yep, same thing here. And since I'm a fair bit older than some here, that means these re-runs were going for YEEEAAAAAAARRRRSSSSSS......

OK back to work....

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Hate to say it Khan, but Ax wins, True Colors is already a lot better

NO.

SORRY.

WRONG.

 

[phillyfan26]

Oh! Darling is a good tune.

her eyes are like...waaaaaay too big. it always looks like she's getting an anal probe or something.

(insert typical anal sex joke here)

Unshun me for a second and tell me what The Shadows did for music? I know next to nothing about them and am curious.

 

[Reggo]

Yeah, I don't get what's so special about her.

I obviously disagree.

the beatles suck.

So let's see, in your opinion, Culture Club are better than The Beatles.

Do I have this right?

 

[Axver]

the beatles suck.

Especially McCartney's horrible vocals.

I'm not laughing at you, Screwy. Honest.

DON'T SAY THESE THINGS! HER 99 KILLED THE ENTIRE PURPOSE OF THE ORIGINAL 99

Cori, the only reason that you don't see Get Smart on tv these days is contract disputes. The people who own Get Smart pulled it from TV Land and wouldn't let them play it anymore, but every episode is out on DVD now, and I snatched that baby up. In stores only the first season's available (not sure if it's out quite yet though) if you like old slapstick, puns, hilarity, and Spoofing on 007, you NEED to see this show.

If this means anything, Don Adams, the star of the show, is the only celebrity I ever cried over the death of, and I was 18 when he died.

They aren't that big.


And you say it like it's a bad thing.

 

[coolian2]

Yeah, I don't get what's so special about her.

She looks relatively normal. Do people really find that unattractive now?
