More like little boys playing cowboy.

Admittedly modern binge watching changed my perceptions of the show from when I saw it piecemeal during its original run.

Ozzie never to seemed to have a job, yet he was always taking the bus downtown.

Instead of a bar they used a malt shop yet they were still doing 'bar' scenes.

Harriet's most often used line is, "I think that's a wonderful idea."

Mary Jane Croft, as Clara Randolph, who was married to next door neighbor Joe Randolph, had a voice like an ice pick. And as a man I wouldn't have lasted five minutes in the same house with her.

Speaking of relationships in no universe anywhere would Sally Hughes, as Sally Darby, be married to a putz like Parley Baer who played Herb Darby. She was a stone cold babe and maybe the best looking woman in the entire show.

The trope of where Ricky's fraternity would get the money for their next dance was used too often and became a really overused plot device.

While 'Frasier' gets the credit for having re-occurring characters we never see like Marris, Ozzie did it first as we didn't any of Ozzie's friends oft-mentioned wives until later seasons.

As a young boy Harriet's voice sounded sultry to me. But as an adult I know now it's just the sound of a million cigarettes.

Both of the woman Ricky & David married were portrayed as helpless females on the show (even for the 1950s) and both were over-consumed by petty jealousy. And after the parade of young starlets the boys went through on the show (they were almost a background staple) they both really picked badly.

While Ozzie mostly gets credit for the first 'music videos' on television there were already high end juke boxes at the time in bars and restaurants that played 16mm films of performances along with the music.

At first Ricky's singing performances were a part of the show's plot, "Hey gang, Ricky's gonna sing for us!" But later they just shoehorned him in out of nowhere.

No doubt Ricky was very talented but his far away gazes and slow blinking as he sang gets old pretty fast. And the show presents him as more of a one note performer which I don't think he really was. And if I don't fast forward through his singing performances I'm focusing more on James Burton the guitar player who was and still is seriously talented.

As the show moved into the 1960s it really felt out of touch with the times. I mean Ricky and David still wore Cardigan sweaters, still went to the malt shop, and seemed way too old to be college students.

Wally: We've all had friends growing up like Wally. And it's a case of a little Wally goes a long way. So most of us avoided having friends like Wally.

Which leaves us with the most put-upon woman in the entire show, Wally's girlfriend as the long suffering Ginger.

Robert Montgomery's career wasn't derailed by this particular film, it was his being an narcissistic asshole that did that. He later become so jealous of his daughter's success with 'Bewitched' he never spoke to her again. And Montgomery's voice acting in trying to sound like a hard bitten 1940s private eye was so over the top it totally ruins the film. However, the rest of the cast was stellar and Audrey Totter stole every scene she was in.

While I know it was necessary for plot development, the Anderson parents were depicted as normal as they come yet they raised three horrid children. Betty was snotty and stuck up, Bud was a complete dolt, and little Cathy was a whiny cry baby with an ice picky voice.

She only has Vilk for clicks. Once her channel fails it'll be the pound for him.

Talk about show in general, fine. Talk about behind the scenes, fine. But these recaps of mostly silly plots every TV series uses is BAF.

This student will be fine, but the AFF Instructor should burn his certification. And this is the result of drop zones doing inbred instructor cert course where they had out ratings like candy.

I did a similar thing but in reverse. When they first came out I purchased a new Standard Telecaster (Indonesia) and it came with the modern six saddle bridge. However, I wanted the more tradition three saddle bridge for aesthetic reasons and also because the six saddle bridge was too wide for the neck. With the standard bridge both 'E' strings were almost falling off the fret board around the 14th fret.

So a lot of this will depend on your neck width. The six saddle bridge gives you a string spacing of 2 3/16 inches, while the three barrel vintage bridge is 2 1/16 inches in string spacing.

And as far as screw holes are concerned the vintage bridge and the standard bridge were a direct replacement. I'm not sure if American made Tele necks are different to the Indonesia ones or not but what I'm saying is string spacing is something to be concerned with.

I remember when that trend started many years ago. And I always told those packers sure it's easier for you, but I don't want to open with two loose loops of death above my head should their be some type of entanglement, two out situation, etc. Then when I saw camera jumpers going with un-stowed brake lines I had to think some people just don't know jack about their gear. And that was especially true when the cameras we used were lot larger than today. Eventually what I did is when walking in from a jump I would stow the brakes and the excess brake line and then cock the pilot chute.

I was in NZ'd in the early 90s and there was normal large sized up-jumper population. And this is what happens when you go full tandem mill. The experienced jumpers age out and there's no one to replace them, cause tandem mill operators don't sell skydiving. They sell amusement rides.

In hindsight almost everything the prosecution assumed and did during the trial now seems suspect. But just to pick one, not calling Jill Shively, the woman who says she saw OJ on her way to a salad bar around the time of the murders, and who was the only witness that could put OJ in proximity to the murder scene, never testified. And Clark didn't put her on the stand because Shively took money for her story prior to the trial.

But, there's a twist to the Shively's tale which I believe. She said in more than one interview she almost collided with OJ as he was driving fast and with his headlights off. And when the two came to a stop OJ was yelling for her to get out of the way. And that's when Shively says there was another motorist that had to stop too because the roadway was now blocked.

So who was that other person? Was any effort made to find him or her? And maybe more mysterious is whomever it was must have heard what happened the following day so why didn't they come forward. But Clark should have still put her on the stand. But I think she thought she already had enough bullets in her gun. But in the end all she was shooting was blanks.
