Should I just get through it, or find something else to watch for a couple weeks?

There's a lot to laugh at in season six after the initial serious episode. Archie's a riot except for the couple of episodes he isn't in.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

It's classic, but maybe my least fave.

RIP Wayne 'Trapper John' Rogers. MASH wasn't the same w/o you. RIP Tony Burton. RIP George Kennedy

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Every season after the third has a couple of klinkers.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Well, every season of every show does.

RIP Wayne 'Trapper John' Rogers. MASH wasn't the same w/o you. RIP Tony Burton. RIP George Kennedy

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I don't know if you could say that about 2 1/2 Men. It's pretty consistent.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Are you kidding? The whole last three or four years without Charlie were garbage.

RIP Wayne 'Trapper John' Rogers. MASH wasn't the same w/o you. RIP Tony Burton. RIP George Kennedy

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Well, that's another matter. I still watch those, though.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

They weren't half as good.

RIP Wayne 'Trapper John' Rogers. MASH wasn't the same w/o you. RIP Tony Burton. RIP George Kennedy

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I'm used to the show, and Kutcher is OK.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Nah. He was better on That 70's Show.

RIP Wayne 'Trapper John' Rogers. MASH wasn't the same w/o you. RIP Tony Burton. RIP George Kennedy

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Believe me, if they had gotten someone I consider lame or irritating I would've stopped watching.

[–] McGannahanSkjellyfetti 8 years ago

There's always Bernadette Peters to look forward to in the sixth...

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Nice tight sweater.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Probably see a nip there .

RIP Wayne 'Trapper John' Rogers. MASH wasn't the same w/o you. RIP Tony Burton. RIP George Kennedy

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I would hope more than one.

[–] LAtvGuy 8 years ago

I'm nearly done watching season 6 from my DVD's. There is a noticeable "different" feel to it. There are a lot of close-ups this season. Also, Edith subtly starts changing. Her speech pattern is slower, and she starts putting her hand to her face with pinky resting on the corner of her mouth. That's something she never did before and would continue to do until she leaves the series.

The two-part "Birth of the Baby" was painful. Archie and his friends in black face, Gloria stuck in the phone booth, Mike's overacting, the whole bit with the nurse in the hospital who's having an affair with her brother-in-law, and the added footage of a real baby's birth intercut with Gloria and Mike. It could easily have been one episode.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

You have to understand that All in the Family was the number one show in the country at that time. It's only natural that they'd make a big deal about the birth.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

The black face stuff was great.

RIP Wayne 'Trapper John' Rogers. MASH wasn't the same w/o you. RIP Tony Burton. RIP George Kennedy

[–] McGannahanSkjellyfetti 8 years ago

I loved how Archie sided with Mike just to get out of doing the show...

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I found it humorous.
"There's a fat black man in my room and I'm in no condition to be raped".

[–] McGannahanSkjellyfetti 8 years ago

That was something that was definitely edited out on regular television. I have it in my dvd collection...

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

That scene was included on the standard syndicated version, unless the particular station you saw it on was extraordinarily pathetic with their practices.

[–] McGannahanSkjellyfetti 8 years ago

I don't remember which channel, but they cut out the whole part where Archie went into Gloria Stipic's room all together...

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I've never seen that happen. But on occasion the station may have decided to re-edit the entire episode, in which case one or two scenes normally edited out would appear in place of the Mrs. Stipic scene.

[–] McGannahanSkjellyfetti 8 years ago

I wonder if that Gloria Stipic character that was riding on the subway with Archie, Mike, and Gloria. (I believe it was the same actress.)

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

The first time I saw that was Sunday night (where the show remained until almost to the end of Archie Bunker's Place) in my grandmother's attic bedroom on a ten inch black and white TV.
Mike:"Gloria - when I hit that man, I didn't hate it".
Archie: "Of course you didn't hate it. You're supposed to feel good!".

[–] McGannahanSkjellyfetti 8 years ago

Mike hated violence in that episode, but in season 6, he didn't seem very pacifistic when it came down to Gloria's boss...

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

He was only threatening Mr. Crenshaw. He knew the slime wasn't going to get physical.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Do you get notices when someone answers you on here Fletcher? You seem to reply immediately.

RIP Wayne 'Trapper John' Rogers. MASH wasn't the same w/o you. RIP Tony Burton. RIP George Kennedy

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Yah. Emails pop up on my phone's screen as soon as soon as they're sent. Doesn't everybody's?

[–] McGannahanSkjellyfetti 8 years ago

I find out through yahoo.com...

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I take it you don't have an I-Phone?

[–] McGannahanSkjellyfetti 8 years ago

I have a tablet...

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I see. I'm sure yours is cheaper to use.

[–] McGannahanSkjellyfetti 8 years ago

Usually one of the first boards I check is this one. All the other responds I find out though yahoo...

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I've never used Yahoo for that purpose.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

I don't have notices, or emails. I just try to come on once a day.

RIP Wayne 'Trapper John' Rogers. MASH wasn't the same w/o you. RIP Tony Burton. RIP George Kennedy

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Sounds like a primitive setup.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

I don't need notices or emails.

RIP Wayne 'Trapper John' Rogers. MASH wasn't the same w/o you. RIP Tony Burton. RIP George Kennedy

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Sometimes someone will be responding to something I posted two years ago, but I've done that myself.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Well, who cares about that? The conversation is long forgotten by that point. I hate when people bump topics from 3 weeks ago.

RIP Wayne 'Trapper John' Rogers. MASH wasn't the same w/o you. RIP Tony Burton. RIP George Kennedy

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Sometimes I'll have input relevant to what was being discussed.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

That's a pet peeve of mine.

RIP Wayne 'Trapper John' Rogers. MASH wasn't the same w/o you. RIP Tony Burton. RIP George Kennedy

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Other people's too sometimes, I've noticed.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Obviously it is something hasn't been discussed in a week or month, or year, it's no longer relevant. Out of sight, out of mind. Then, people bump it, and knock current topics down. It's annoying.

RIP Wayne 'Trapper John' Rogers. MASH wasn't the same w/o you. RIP Tony Burton. RIP George Kennedy

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

It is pointless when people add to it with nothing but the word "bump" just to be annoying.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

That's another thing. Or just like one word replies that mean nothing. "Ok." "Whatever." Here comes Carpenter or Barney.."You do that all the time, CJ."

RIP Wayne 'Trapper John' Rogers. MASH wasn't the same w/o you. RIP Tony Burton. RIP George Kennedy

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Everybody does.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Right, but to bump a month old topic just by that is annoying.

RIP Wayne 'Trapper John' Rogers. MASH wasn't the same w/o you. RIP Tony Burton. RIP George Kennedy

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Doesn't bother me when someone responds to a months or years old post, but I only answer if I have something significant to add.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

I might answer and yell at them for bumping an old topic. Lol.

RIP Wayne 'Trapper John' Rogers. MASH wasn't the same w/o you. RIP Tony Burton. RIP George Kennedy

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I can't disparage them; I've done it myself.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Not me.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

When I first signed into this thing I went through various message boards and put my 2 cents in all over the place, regardless of the time of the last post (although I stayed away from years with double 0's). Some didn't respond, some responded negatively as you would, and some joined in.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

This is the only message board I was ever on.

RIP Wayne 'Trapper John' Rogers. MASH wasn't the same w/o you. RIP Tony Burton. RIP George Kennedy

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Didn't you recently mention you posted on a few others regularly?

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

I meant only imdb overallas a message board , not like just All in the Family. I go to many boards within imdb of course.

RIP Wayne 'Trapper John' Rogers. MASH wasn't the same w/o you. RIP Tony Burton. RIP George Kennedy

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I don't even know of any others besides IMDB.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

They're out there. Believe me. None as famous, perhaps.

RIP Wayne 'Trapper John' Rogers. MASH wasn't the same w/o you. RIP Tony Burton. RIP George Kennedy

[–] McGannahanSkjellyfetti 8 years ago

Season 6 was done in a different location than where seasons 1-5 were done. That could explain the close-ups. Another change was Gloria started doing the abusing Archie and Mike routine in season 6 (not counting her slapping Mike in the season 3's "Battle Of The Month") ...

[–] darkridedan 8 years ago

Ugh. Hurry up and go away Season 6. I always loose interest in the show when it comes to this heavy-handed, light-on-comedy season.

Fortunately Decades has been hitting it out of the park lately. Although I think Lucy was wrong about AITF, I'd rather watch her birthday celebration on Decades right now (April 5th.)

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Lucy thought the show was vulgar and she was outraged that it was being shown on the same network as her show (Here's Lucy).

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Vulgar or not, it was hilarious.

X-Men: Apocalypse 8/10. TMNT: Out of the Shadows 9/10. RIP Doris Roberts. You were wonderful in ELR.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Well, you know Lucy. She was pretty old-fashioned.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Nothing wrong with that. She was hilarious in her own right.

X-Men: Apocalypse 8/10. TMNT: Out of the Shadows 9/10. RIP Doris Roberts. You were wonderful in ELR.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

She was. I should've watched more of "Here's Lucy" when it originally aired, but we only had the one TV.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

And that was the show of choice at the time? Or one of them?

X-Men: Apocalypse 8/10. TMNT: Out of the Shadows 9/10. RIP Doris Roberts. You were wonderful in ELR.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Shows like Bob Newhart were good sitcoms. But we watched some cop shows at the time, rescue shows (Chopper One, Firehouse - things you've never heard of) and Emergency, which was on opposite All in the Family - until my parents wised up during season three and said *beep* Emergency".

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Do you like Emergency now?

X-Men: Apocalypse 8/10. TMNT: Out of the Shadows 9/10. RIP Doris Roberts. You were wonderful in ELR.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Haven't watched it since. No interest.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Yeah. Me neither.

X-Men: Apocalypse 8/10. TMNT: Out of the Shadows 9/10. RIP Doris Roberts. You were wonderful in ELR.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Adam 12 was a family favorite in the early '70s - the reruns came on at supper time. I'd find it difficult to watch now.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Have you tried, or you'd think you'd find it difficult to watch now?

X-Men: Apocalypse 8/10. TMNT: Out of the Shadows 9/10. RIP Doris Roberts. You were wonderful in ELR.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I can't watch those overly-sanitized cop offerings.
I never could stand that "Cops" show. The cops know they're being filmed, so they behave themselves. So the arrestees are always the bad guys. If the cameras were hidden and the cops didn't know they were on film, that's the only way I could watch it. Then you'll see the truth.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

I always preferred America's Most Wanted to Cops.

X-Men: Apocalypse 8/10. TMNT: Out of the Shadows 9/10. RIP Doris Roberts. You were wonderful in ELR.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

That is better.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Definitely. I enjoyed John Walsh.

X-Men: Apocalypse 8/10. TMNT: Out of the Shadows 9/10. RIP Doris Roberts. You were wonderful in ELR.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

They should let Bill Cosby slip his cuffs, then show the chase.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

He's not the athlete he once was.

X-Men: Apocalypse 8/10. TMNT: Out of the Shadows 9/10. RIP Doris Roberts. You were wonderful in ELR.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

We'd see, wouldn't we?

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

He wouldn't last 5 minutes. He's like 75.

RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

You can't tell me it wouldn't be entertaining. They should develop a real "Running Man" TV show.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Underrated movie.

RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I have the blu-Ray.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

I have the DVD. Not the SE or anything though. I'll get the SE eventually.

RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I somehow missed that one when it first came out.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

What do you mean, missed? You saw all Arnie's flicks at the time?

RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

No. I never saw Hercules, Predator, The Running Man, or anything after T2 at the movies.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Predator and the Running Man are two of my all time faves. I have a top 10 Arnie flicks in my profile. Check it out. See if you agree.

RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Mine would start out with:
1. Terminator
2. Terminator 2
3. Predator
4. Total Recall
5.,6. (Tie) Commando, The Running Man
7. Terminator 3

After that it gets tough. I have Eraser on video, and I've seen Red Heat and Raw Deal fairly recently, but it's been too long since I've seen True Lies, Kindergarten Cop, or Twins. And I can't quite recall whether I've seen Collateral Damage. Probably, but I don't recall it.
And the first Conan movie would have to be considered (although the second one was kind of laughable).

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Did you see my list, and enjoy it?

RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I saw it and tried to make my own.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Pretty good list, right? Was yours successful?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Judge for yourself.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

I went to your profile, I didn't see any lists.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

It's not there. It's a few posts above this one.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

That's only 7.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I was too indecisive about the last three.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

What were the last 3?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I had 1 - 7 listed, but the last three I couldn't decide, largely due to some of Arnold's post T2 movies I haven't seen in so long I'd need another viewing in order to complete my list.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

View 'em. True Lies is superb.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Some day.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Lol. Like a pipe dream.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

No, I don't have any pipe dreams planned for the future.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

The way you said some day. Like it's unreachable. Lol.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I own discs that I haven't even seen yet.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Knowing you, they're probably in storage.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Considering I'm still occupying a corner of my brother's one bedroom apartment, that's where they are.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

For not actually knowing you, I know you pretty well, don't I?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Well, there are details I've repeated in here.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

But, I remember. Most people probably wouldn't.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Like when you get to my age.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

You seem to have an excellent memory. Especially, considering all the drugs you've done in the past.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I'm getting real bad with misplacing things. I'm told that's due to age.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

51, or whatever you are, isn't especially old.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I'm 54 actually.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Get ready for a shocker - "someday" just happened...
I now own The A-Team complete series.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

For how much and where?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Amazon for $96.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

For 5 seasons? Not bad. I paid like 40 or 50 Per season. Minus the 5th season. That was a gift. I'm surprised you plunked down money for anything. You seem not to spend a lot of money.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

There was a reason for my splurge. It was for a birthday present. But it had been already delivered by the time I was told not to get then anything.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

So, it's not yours then?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

On the contrary. I am the proud owner. The only thing is there is one episode I can't watch. That horrible one with Boy George. Definitely a "What were they thinking?" situation.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Didn't you say it was a gift for someone else? The Boy George one was funny.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

They told me not to get them anything. So it was either keep it or send it back.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Keep it, for sure. The Boy George one was very memorable.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I just can't do that one. The one with the "Superfreak" dude is borderline.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Rick James. That's a fantastic episode. I bet if it was AC/DC showing up, or music you prefer, you'd enjoy it more. Isaac Hayes is in that one too. And James Avery who was later Will's uncle Phil on the Fresh Prince.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I haven't seen these episodes in a long time, but the Rick James one didn't impress me. I'll watch it, though.
Never really watched Fresh Prince.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

It was good. The story was a great one. You'll see.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

My brothers watched the show when it originally aired. I caught glimpses, but I couldn't figure out if it was supposed to be serious or farcical.
I finally got into when TNN aired it in the early 2000s.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

And you came to the conclusion that it was supposed to be...???

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

A mix of humor and seriousness. I think Peppard's portrayal of Hannibal was far greater than Liam Neeson's (I'm not knocking Neeson's acting, just the portrayal).

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Well, of course. And who can touch Dwight Schultz, Dirk Benedict, and Mr. T as Murdock, Face and B.A. respectively?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

You're right. Probably the best adjustment they could've made (besides the fact that they should've kept Melinda Cunea) was getting rid of the original Face Man.
And I guess after four seasons they felt the need to spice it up. Did the "Mission:Impossible" approach work? As well as adding two new characters?

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

You're one of the few who wanted to keep Culea. She was fine, but I didn't miss her. I liked the 5th season more than most. Robert Vaughn is always good, and the Frankie Santana character was alright. I liked the beefed up theme music the most though.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I can't stand that typical over-synthesized mid-'80s poppy bullsh!t theme tune. I much prefer the original. It uses the same guitar riff as a tune on the Scorpions album "Animal Magnetism".

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

I like both, but, like the 5th seasons theme more. The Scorpions are good.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

The 5th season tune reminds me of the horrible McGyver thing.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

You didn't like MacGyver's theme either?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Never liked synth-pop.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

What did you think of the show?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Believe it or not, I don't ever recall watching a whole episode of McGyver.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

I'm relatively surprised. I guess you have no interest in the reboot, huh?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Lol. It's definitely not on my watch list.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Me neither. Why do they have to reboot every damn thing?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Two reasons: lack of original ideas, attempting to cash in on previous successes.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

They hardly ever work out that way.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Slow learning curve.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Just in the last couple of months there have been several remakes. Ghostbusters, Ben-Hur, The Magnificent Seven. I heard a remake of Westworld is coming out. It's a disgrace.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

They should start remaking things that sucked the first time around, then they might be improvements.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Agreed. Don't remake movies that are already classics. Can't improve upon them.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Absolutely. And I never saw the point of remaking something involving a mystery because you already know the ending (The Omen, The Wicker Man).

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Absolutely. And I never saw the point of remaking something involving a mystery because you already know the ending (The Omen, The Wicker Man).

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Well, I suppose they could change the mystery somehow. Change whodunit, or how it's resolved.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Those two movies were pretty much scene for scene as the original. Pretty pointless.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Agreed in that regard.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Unfortunately, we'll see more and more remakes as time goes by.

Damn Hollywood can't come up with original ideas.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Throughout history, everything was being copied, anyway. Whether they used a new title or not.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Some better than others.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

If they're not real remakes, they're clones. Very few are worthy.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Like Psycho. That was an exact clone.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I still haven't seen the original, so maybe I could watch the remake.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Why? It's not HALF as good. Anne Heche is no Janet Leigh, and as much as I like him in comedic roles, Vince Vaughn is no Anthony Perkins.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I know what you're saying, but since I haven't seen the original, I don't have anything to gauge it against. The disappointment factor won't be there.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

I guess so. But you should definitely see the original.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Seeing the original afterwards can only be an improvement.

I saw the remakes of "Friday the 13th" and "My Bloody Valentine" starring the guys in Supernatural (on cable, they came out at the same time). You knew what was going to happen, but the execution was OK.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

I prefer the Friday and the My Bloody Valentine remakes, as a matter of fact.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I probably prefer the original Friday, but I'm less familiar with the original Valentine. I saw it at the movies when it came out. Irritatingly, I saw Friday Pt. 2 before I saw the first one (same with Jaws, actually).

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

I hate the Friday's! But the remakes was okay. I'm a Halloween fan, as you know.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I saw Season of the Witch before either of the Jamie Lee ones.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

It's an okay movie. A little better than it's reputation. Would've been better if we saw Stacy Nelkins tits.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I could swear we did. You didn't watch it on commercial TV, did you?

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

No on DVD, and you did not. Its explained in the DVD extras, that she had a no nipple clause in her contract. So, we saw nothing, even if you think you did. Except Tom Atkins ass.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Damn. I could swear I saw them.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Alas, you did not. Believe me, I've tried. Freeze frame, zoom in, paused it. Nothing.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Maybe The Terminator's clouding my memory of that one.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

You definitely saw Linda Hamilton's tits in Terminator.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I haven't seen Season of the Witch lately. Wasn't Stacey on an A-Team?

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Good memory. She certainly was. Played a blind girl, that Face had feelings for.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Yes, I recall that.
Haven't seen it yet. I'm in the middle of season three. Just watched the one with the poachers in Kenya.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

That's a good one. The black guy in that was a "Code of Honor", I believe it was, a TNG episode. I'm pretty sure that episode with Stacy Nelkin should be coming up. It could be in the 4th season, but I would say it's a third season episode.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I suppose still no nips on the complete version?

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

You will never see Nelkins nips. Believe me. I tried.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Face didn't even attempt a wet T shirt type of thing?

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

She was blind! Lol. She was in the rain at one point, but she had a jacket on, I believe.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Coincidentally, I saw the episode today. I didn't remember a damn thing about it except the blind chick. I watched the show a lot about fifteen years back. I must've seen Season of the Witch on TV around that time to recognize Stacey Nelkin. By the way, there's a picture of her on IMDB (I sometimes check out things on there that I'm watching, like Trivia and stuff), and boy did she pork up! Of course, she's not young. She's three years older than I am.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

You don't expect her to be as hot as she was 35 years ago, do you? Though, I remember her looking pretty sexy on the Halloween III DVD extras, and that was only 2 Or 3 years ago.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I'd like to see that.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Look it up on Amazon. I'm sure you can get it for 20 bucks or less. You really liked Nelkin, huh?

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I always liked the movie. I'd be interested in the commentary. And she was good in it too.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Would've been better if we saw her tits, though, and not Tom Atkins ass.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Absolutely. I like Tom Atkins (he had a recurring role on The Rockford Files, and he was on Escape From New York, one of my favorite movies), but not that much, lol.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

It was his daughter, and Kelly in Cheers, that committed suicide in the first Lethal Weapon movie.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Those are good movies.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

They are indeed. And Atkins was in the first Lethal Weapon.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

The only one Joe Pesci wasn't in.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

That movie was very good. But, it could've used some Pesci. Though, the third one is my least favorite.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I'd have to see them back to back to pick a favorite. I haven't seen them often enough. And stupidly, I sometimes get them confused with Die Hard movies.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

What?! How can you get the Lethal Weapon movies confused with the Die Here's? They're nothing alike.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Some of the action and basic plots. I haven't seen them enough to recollect.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

I think we can no longer be friends. Lol.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I think my brother has them.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

As any action comedy American would.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I could borrow them.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

And keep them.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I used to covet things when I was younger, but not anymore.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

You don't have room for stuff anymore. Lol.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Not at the moment.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Sad sack.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

It was sad when I was forced out of the family house.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Who forced you again?

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

The real estate agent representing the bank.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Were you bigger? I'd tell him to go take a flying leap.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

It was a woman. My mother was there and we both had to sign a paper saying the house would be vacated by a certain date. If I had refused to sign, it would've caused problems for my parents. The place was in their name.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

When was this?

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Beginning of April. I had to be out of there the 24th of that month. That was D-Day for me.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Your mom is still alive? Must be pretty old. You're 52, or so, right? She must be in her 70's, 80's. She live in a home now?

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

She turns 71 next month. My father's 74. They have their own apartment.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

And you can't live with then?

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

No way. They have two bedrooms, but one's my father's TV room. It's a small place.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

They wouldn't make room for their son?

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

They live in an over 55 facility, so I'd have to wait until next September. They may be dreading my next birthday.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Lol. You too, probably. Getting old, man.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Well, I don't look it (some people give me a double-take when I tell them my age) and I don't really feel it (probably because I never took up smoking).

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

I'll be the judge of that.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I'm probably the only one capable of judging whether or not I feel old.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Feel old yes. Not look old.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I got carded at liquor stores way into my thirties. When I'm old enough for senior discounts, it might be like that all over again.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Yeah. Lol. I bet you'll feel young.

Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

As long as my health maintains as is.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Keep doing what you're doing.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Might not matter. Sh!t happens as you age.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

I hear that. I've been sick for a solid week. Runny eyes, stuffy nose, throat like I swallowed a box of thumb tacks, hacking cough at times. It's not fun.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Don't come into my work. I'm an extreme germophobe at work.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

I'm an extreme germaphobe everywhere. Even in my own house.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

It sucks needlessly picking up a cold. I get infuriated when someone coughs in my direction without making a sufficient attempt to cover it up. I have a sheet of corrugated plastic next to me at work that I aggressively wave into a customer's face if they do that.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Well, I can admit I don't always cover my mouth, sad to say.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

It enrages me when they don't at least turn away from me.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Well, I try to do that at the very least.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I'm not the most customer-friendly individual to ever walk the Earth to begin with; I never wanted this damn job but I'm stuck with it. So any further irritations just piss me off.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Lol. I bet you're a real jerk.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

When I am, it's usually deserving.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

And when it's not?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

It's fallout from the previous pricks.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Fallout.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Leftover aggravation.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Shouldn't take your issues out on someone else.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I contain it, but sometimes an attitude shows through.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Ever been told on by a customer to your boss, and been reprimanded?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

The thing of it is the majority of people acting like a$$holes do it on purpose.
No, I've never even been spoke to about it. If something out of hand takes place, I report it to the boss myself.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

I've been told on numerous times throughout the years, the bastards.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

My first manager on this job (a young woman) wouldn't hesitate to call an irritating customer a "douchebag". She took no sh!t. But it wasn't limited to the customers. She'd fire people at the snap of a finger. I was her best worker (her words), so she let things slide with me.
The current management (even though they have corporate superiors) know what pricks the public can be.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Pricks with a capital P. "The customer is always right", though, Fletch.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Look at my reply, Fletch. I replied like 10 seconds after you, so I guess you didn't see it.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I did miss that. I learned on my last job the customer is always wrong.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

You could never say that. If they make a complaint to your higher ups, you'll be reprimanded and possibly canned.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I'm sure these a$$holes have already. But most, I'm sure, know they're being Pricks.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Not in my case. I've encountered several tattle tales. These bastards have nothing better to do than to get me fired, or almost.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Lol.
I've been here over four years, and I don't act any differently than when I first started. I'm still here.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Plus you're willing to work insane amount of hours. That's why they keep you on.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Unfortunately that aspect of insanity ended last month. I'm waiting for someone to quit so I can go back to it.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Why would somene quit?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

They wouldn't, but it would help me.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Set them up. Frame them.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I have too much self-respect to be attempting that crap. I spend my energies keeping a lookout to see if I'm a target of that kind of behind-the-back sh!t.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Lol. Think they're out to get you?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I am a Lone Wolf at the place. Plus my seniority (resulting in two weeks' vacation this year, not to mention probably being the only cashier in the whole corporation that has weekends off - unless I have overtime) causes intense jealousy.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Good for you, I guess.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

I'd still prefer other employment arrangements, my I kept hitting dead ends.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I'm able-bodied, I'm not an octogenarian.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

True. But, an employer is gonna hire a 20 year old guy over a 55 year old guy.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

A 20 year old is likely an opioid user.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

A lot of places drug test you though. They wouldn't hire a druggie.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I don't know if they even check for that. My place doesn't drug rest. Probably because they don't want to spring for the cost.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

You think anybody you work with now is on something?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Besides weed, I don't think so. But the last two they hired for weekend overnights were a mess. The first one was a black dude, and whenever I took over for him there was no water in the toilet bowl (until I flushed it) and the tank cover would be out of line, indicating things had been hidden in there. They fired him because cigarettes kept going missing on his shift.
The last one was a very young kid, and the customers would tell us what a mess he was while working. I got some good overtime after they were fired, but unfortunately for me, the current weekend guy seems like a straight arrow.

[–] cjh8504 8 years ago

Unfortunately for you? He's not a druggie and a good guy, apparently. That's a good thing. Not unfortunate. Lol.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Him being a good guy doesn't give me overtime.

Always looking out for number 1, huh, Fletch?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I'm not here (I'm currently working) just hang out. Money's the motivation.

At a previous job, the guy in charge played a practical joke on a naive co-worker, sending him to the store across the street for a cleaning product. He told the kid to approach an employee and ask him for some "swill". The kid came back dumbfounded, saying that the people there never heard of it, and he asked three of them.

Dumb kid. Swill means to drink.

I see. I just look at the final column - the latest post time.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

To the left of that is how many posts there are.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 7 years ago

I noticed after I read your post.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

In your nearly 4 years here, you never noticed that before?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 7 years ago

I have, but don't normally pay attention.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

That explains your answers to me. Lol.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 7 years ago

Excuse my ignorance.

I'll excuse it. Because we get along so swimmingly.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 7 years ago

Lol. I thought you're answer would be "I have so far".

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

That would've been better. Can I have a redo?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 7 years ago

I'd like to have an employment redo about a dozen years ago and never started that damn restaurant job that I quit five years ago.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

What's wrong with that place? I thought you liked it?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 7 years ago

I hated it. I quit twice back in the '80s. I went back in '04 after passing up something I was offered and should've taken, then couldn't find anything else. I got lazy and didn't look for anything better. Five years later I was making too much money to leave. By 2011 I was taking home $600 a week for 45 hours. The family business aspect was tough to deal with, finally leading me to tell the boss to f¥€k himself and I quit. Then I slacked off looking for work, depleting my finances. Wish I could go back to January '04 to accept the job I was offered.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

Which was where?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 7 years ago

It was a shipping/receiving temp job with a long, traffic-filled ride.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

The traffic didn't appeal to you, I guess. Guess the money didn't either.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Fletcherj119 7 years ago

I was living at my grandmother's at the time, closer to where the place was, but I was in the process of moving back home, and the ride would've been horrendous. The highway route heading there is notorious for morning and afternoon rush hour traffic. I had other things pending at the time, which unfortunately ended up not panning out.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

As the knight in. The Last Crusade said to Donovan: "You chose..poorly."
