Inviting Others to the Forum After some discussion among refugees board members, moderators and administrators, the conclusion has been reached that registered members will be asked to invite others to the forum using their own discretion. To avoid importing any well-known problem members from the ...

I'd have to go with Roy Rogers, (though more for the emoting of Trigger and Bullet than the singing, though he was a fine one). I actually blush to admit that I sort of prefer the singing of Dick Foran among all the sagebrush singers from that period.

Hi Sholmes , I inherited a Hopalong Cassidy lunchbox as my very first one from my elder siblings. I really liked it and Hoppy, though I can't recall seeing his movies or shows. Wish that I could've saved some stuff like that lunchbox if I'd known how valuble they'd become. I've since learned via the...

Wow, this thread is better than reading alot of back issues of Entertainment Weekly . You guys have caught me up on pop culture big-time. Okay, so I gave up watching tv shows on a regular basis around the time that the splendid Tom Baker left Doctor Who --though I did follow a few episodes of Monarc...

Hi Shonna , Glad you found your way here. You'll find this actively moderated board has a somewhat homey and yet oh, so refreshingly different feel. Please come on in, take your shoes off, and enjoy the tastefully appointed rooms of our little website. Hope that it becomes another spot to give voice...

I love this thread, and Bobhopefan , you have great sensitivity as an artist and as a poster. Thanks so much for posting the finely rendered William Powell & Robert Montgomery drawings. Btw, I don't think you mentioned this, but aside from photography, do you enjoy drawing as a preliminary activ...

Man, now I know I've fallen down the rabbit hole into the land of lost tv shows, (some of them, deservedly -lost). Lynn, sounds as though you might've liked ol' Manolito on High Chapparal too! Jon, your mention of that blow-dried pretty boy, Bobby Sherman , instantly reminded me of a series that I'd...

I enjoyed Rawhide, too. I remember Eric Fleming had a tragic demise, but can't recall all the specifics. Any one?--Sue Sue Applegate Christy, I don't remember all the details, probably 'cause I couldn't read yet & it was one of those stages of our lives when the parents decided that tv was &quo...

I'm enjoying the discussion of the beautiful Ina Balin very much, (and Klondike's comment about Father Time using each of us as an etch-a-sketch is hilarious). To me, Balin , Myrna Loy & Felix Aylmer are the very best reasons to watch From the Terrace (1960). Balin's warm and loving coal mine ma...

Chris, There's a pretty lively ongoing discussion about the quality of this picture and Rita Hayworth's performance over here . My own take is that this film's a pretty pallid photocopy of Gilda . Rita looks like she was hurting during the movie--except during the peppy musical numbers. Don't know i...

Kyle,
These ideas are fantastic! I especially like the parody of Robert Osborne's "I walk the streets of this city..." YOU must enter this contest, pronto! And before someone else borrows your ideas.

JohnM , Josephine Tey's Daughter of Time is probably my all time favorite mystery, especially since it blends the subject of English history with a mystery that remains intriguing and a subject of debate about Richard III to this day. Thanks so much for reminding me of it. I must re-read it and all...

High Chapparal (1967-1971) http://pic50.picturetrail.com/VOL1628/10959793/19487668/314709872.jpg This series, filmed mostly in desert locations in Old Tucson, Arizona and California, captured my girlish imagination like few others—in part due to the starkly beautiful landscape, as well as the chara...

Love Cheyenne , one of those great ol' Western shows from the same era as Maverick , (and both were from Warner Brothers studio). Web Address is: http://www.clintwalker.com/ Walker's musical Style is country nicely laced with a cowboy twang, some of which he wrote himself. Mr. Walker's voice is quit...
