I watched the beginning of the first one, but I'm going to bed in order to get up at 6:00 for better episodes.
As a matter of fact, I've set my alarm for 6:00. And after that, one of my favorites with Maggie McNamara.
[quote]Are we the only ones on this????[/quote]
LOL. I just scrolled up and noticed that it was just the two of you over and over. I'm here also, for now, but it's only 10:30 where I live, so the marathon isn't on for another hour and a half. I will be going to bed at some point soon and then getting up early.
[quote]The girl does an excellent job. I surprised her screen credits are so few.[/quote]
The girl, Susan Gordon, was the daughter of Bert I. Gordon. She's good in this, but her first film role was as the little girl with the broken doll in [i]Attack of the Puppet People[/i], a film I've always loved, except that I can't stand her in it.
AngularTurnip,
I have an elder brother in Kirkland, WA. He grew up with the Twilight Zone, the Outer Limits, and Science Fiction Theatre, but he doesn't get as excited about marathons as I do, and he doesn't post to sites such as this.
I wish I could find a position in Washington. I much prefer the weather and culture there. Arizona summers are almost uninhabitable.
Arizona, so very nearly west coast.
I know nothing about it, but if we're sitting through 90 minutes or more of one plot, it had better have one heck of a twist ending.
I actually considered including "The Parallel," but I wasn't sure whether or not that one was frequently omitted. (I'm amused by your phrasing here--that I "forgot" it.) Actually, I would find this one really frustrating if they didn't hear from "Colonel Robert Gaines" at the end. As I've noted in another post, I really hate it when people are telling the truth but others don't believe them. I find that really difficult to watch.
Death Ship
The New Exhibit
No Time Like the Past
Valley of the Shadow
I love "The Last Flight," but it seems to me that they do tend to play this one regularly in marathons.
I liked Skip Hinnant.
I just found this article on IMDB:
[quote]The Orville, Gotham, The Gifted & more get premiere dates.
Seth MacFarlane's sci-fi comedy The Orville will premiere for the first time.
Sunday, Sept. 10
8:00-9:00 (after some American football): The Orville (Special Series Premiere, Part 1)
Sunday, Sept. 17
8:00-9:00 (after some more American football): The Orville (Special Series Premiere, Part 2)[/quote]
(Seems a little redundant to say "premiere for the first time")
They must have updated it. Thanks.

I watched all of those shows except for MASH. These days I mostly watch MeTV, GetTV, Cozi, and Buzzr, and I would also watch the other nostalgia channels if my cable company offered them.
I was in high school when this aired, and it was Peter Egan's portrayal that prompted me to look up Oscar Wilde in the school library. I have since then built a collection of biographies. I think both he and Stephen Fry were very good, but Fry's Wilde was more realistic (and he's an expert on Wilde as well).
[quote]Gene, Richard, and Charles were all just "meh", none of them particularly handsome or fun to look at.[/quote]
Bert Convy and Clifton Davis were definitely good-looking, and Bill Daily was cute. But actually, I found Charles very attractive (except for the pipe).
First, it depends on which episodes you're counting as "old west." If you mean anything in the western part of the U.S. in the distant past, I would say "A Hundred Yards Over the Rim." But if you mean "old west" as in "a western," that gets more difficult because I've never liked westerns. The only one I ever went to see on purpose was [i]Silverado[/i], and that was only because it had John Cleese in it.
I'm going to say "The Grave" as well as "Mr. Garrity and the Graves" for their clever endings.
[quote]Oh I loved Malcolm![/quote]
Me too. I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't like him.
I do find Virgil somewhat annoying, however.
[quote] he didn't want to hurt Billy's pride[/quote]
Exactly. He was concerned that giving up the job out of pity would feel like charity to Billy. This is why, at the end, Andy tells Opie, "You're a man." I'm always moved by that ending.
[quote]it looks like aunt bea is drinking a bottle of beer.[/quote]
LOL. Yes, it does. Of course, it's a bottle of pop, but you can't see the label, and the look on her face after she drinks it does make it seem more like it had been alcohol. She kind of shakes her head slightly.
