And it starts afresh: Kill This Thread (a.k.a. Ibby and Rocky's Staring Contest wink )

To review:
The following rules were established by Kent at the start of the first 24-hour version, adapted from the original rules by EDE:

The rules:

1. The Basic Idea: Post to this thread, if no one posts after you for 24 hours, you win!

2. Posts that are not direct responses to one of the five preceding posts are ineligible to win. The topic can drift, but no complete non-sequitors. Posts that are responses to non-sequitors are also ineligible to win. Posts that are responses to responses to non-sequitors, and responses to those posts, etc., become eligible, however.

3. In the event that this thread is locked, there shall be no winner unless a new thread is started for the contest. Furthermore, any post that results in the banning of the poster shall also be ineligible to win.

4. So, more precisely, one wins if one makes a post, and then no one makes another post that's eligible to win for 24 hours.



Okay, ladies, gents, et al, kill this thread!

I have hazel eyes. They appear to change color depending on what I'm wearing. When I wear green, they turn bright green.

The Pink Panther movies with Steve Martin aren't funny.

Raymond Burr's character in the 1956 American adaptation of Gojira was named Steve Martin. When the character showed up again in Godzilla 1985, the actor Steve Martin was famous so the character was called Mr. Martin or Dr. Martin instead to avoid audience confusion.

The 1987 teen movie "Pretty Smart" was the big-screen debut of Patricia Arquette, although Tricia Leigh Fisher was the film's nominal star.

Happy Days was intended to be about the Cunningham family and Richie's friend Potsie. It ended up being the Fonzie Show.

To me, it was always all about Fonzie and Chachi, because I came to the show once the focus had been moved onto them.

I should add that every time I've tried as an adult to watch any episode of any era of Happy Days, I cringe. IMO, all of the Garry Marshall TV shows have aged really badly.

I do still have a sentimental spot for the theme song to Laverne & Shirley, though.

An episode of Happy Days is responsible for the creation of the term "jumping the shark".

I read about the infamous incident. There was an actual jumping over sharks using water skis.

Agreed completely. Though they are some of my earliest tv watching memories, I'm kind of shocked how little appeal they have to me now.

Well said, EDE. I've come to believe there are very few sitcoms from any decade that still hold up today.

I feel the same way about most of the cartons I used to watch as a kid.

On the other hand, I find that many movies still hold up to this day.

I always said that Bewitched held up, and, in part, it did; however, the later episodes, after Dick Sargent was recast in the role of Darrin, did not age well at all. I don't fault Dick Sargent with this at all. He was a good actor and did the best he could with a show that was showing its age. He did add a sarcastic side to Darrin that Dick York did not have. I think it's more about writers running out of ideas than Dick Sargent's portrayal.

I think I would agree with you except for the fact that an extremely high percentage of 60s shows tend to hold up really well for me.

I have a soft spot for a lot of the cartoon movies I watched when I was little.

Agreed about the '60s. The episodes of Bewitched I mentioned were from the later seasons. The earlier episodes are still great. I can think of ten or so shows from that era that I still enjoy off the top of my head.
