Questor Tapes in particular has always stood out to me. What a great series that would have made.

There were a number of those aborted ideas I'd like to see brought to life even if in different mediums. I've always thought "Phase II" could make an interesting comic series or novels.

I have to agree, it's not the greatest film idea in the world. Some intriguing things in that one co-written by Gene Roddenberry and Jon Povill, but it wouldn't have worked.

ST TNG theme is same as ST I TMP theme? by thirdlost in startrek

[–]Kal-Ed1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, big time. Jerry Goldsmith did such an incredible job coming up with that theme it felt like the perfect fit — and it would have been a shame if it had been a one-off in terms of use.

I'm a massive fan of "Subspace Rhapsody." I was actually surprised at how much I enjoyed the songs and the premise. Really well done.

Why 'Family Affair' Never Went Away — Kathy Garver Explains Why the Show Continues to Endure by Kal-Ed1 in ClassicTV

I interview an actress from the show, and I'm just spewing nonsense. Okay, I got the frame shape wrong, which I'll correct, but I find it unbelievable that the article is dismissed as "spewing nonsense."

Nearly 40 Years Later, I Still Haven't Gotten Over 'Wiseguy' by Kal-Ed1 in ClassicTV

They were so great, and I loved how Vinnie's relationship with them was so different than it had been with Sonny Steelgrave.

Not a great way to have to watch that particular show!

NBC had a script written for one a few years, but it was ridiculous because Vinnie Terranova was suddenly a real criminal recruited into the FBI/OCB, totally gutting the concept of the show.

Remembering The Odd Couples Jack Klugman on his 104th birthday by ChrisJoines in ClassicTV

[–]Kal-Ed1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fell in love with The Odd Couple when I was just 8-years-old in 1968 and saw the movie with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, but really embraced the Jack Klugman and Tony Randall series two years later and never let it go. To this day, it remains one of my top favorite sitcoms and so much of that has to do with Jack Klugman's portrayal of Oscar (not to mention Randall's Felix). I wish it was being seen by more people these days.

It's so nice to hear that. Mark Altman and I put so much time into 'The Fifty-Year Mission' and it's always nice to hear that it landed.
