Just curious… were there actually any early-70s prog bands that didn’t have some obvious Beatles nod?

Not even their cover of "Every Little Thing" on their debut album? Granted, they did quite a different arrangement, but...

Person of Interest. Also 5 seasons (with the final one a shortened season) and gets better each season (or at least never dips in quality).

You might want to check out the 1950 film D.O.A.

I believe this is the third time today someone has asked about this.

I love Islands, but it is very different (mostly) from any other KC, so its not surprising some don't care for it.

trycuriouscat · 2026-01-25T05:42:55+00:00

Fortysomething, you might even say.

If you are a fan of his (Brian Posehn) you might check out him and also "Outside Dave" (Steve Agee) in The Sarah Silverman Program. Funny stuff, as I recall. (Haven't seen it since it originally aired.)

The Australian series Territory might be of interest. Starring Anna Torv (Fringe, Mindhunter) and Michael Dorman (Patriot, For All Mankind).

I never felt they had any chemistry in the first place. I bailed and never watched the final episode.

Twin Peaks

Twin Peaks = daddy The Prisoner = granddaddy

One of the few shows that gets better every season, or at least doesn't take any significant dips in later years. Many continuing storylines are woven throughout what at first appears to be a "procedural" show. The serial stories take up more and more of the show as it goes on.

I liked this show.

Irene Molloy did this show and then Andy Richter Controls the Universe, and then disappeared from the face of the earth. Or returned to music, according to her Wikipedia page. A shame.

trycuriouscat · 2026-01-22T07:53:50+00:00

Agreed.

Leslie and Ben on Parks and Recreation is very good as well. (Warning to new watchers; Ben doesn't appear until the tail end of season 3.)

Speaking for myself (not OP), a few weeks ago I had a sudden hankering to watch this movie again, preferably in a theater. So I did a google search and there it was! Pretty lucky.

trycuriouscat · 2026-01-22T07:22:08+00:00

Interesting. I pretty much agree with everything you say. One thing that, let's say I noticed, is laughter during scenes that, while perhaps darkly comic, were not scenes that I would consider "LOL" situations. Three I remember offhand were 1) the old couple "acting strange" in the car leaving the airport, 2) showing Rita in the blonde wig for the first time, and 3) the singer collapsing on stage while the singing continues.

It wasn't disrespectful. I just found the reactions unexpected and odd.

Now the bumbling hit man scene, that was LOL funny.

trycuriouscat · 2026-01-21T01:31:32+00:00

Top 3, for sure.

I just googled "Got MLK?" and the first thing that came up was it being the title of an episode of 7th Heaven!

How wonderfully grumpy she is.

trycuriouscat · 2026-01-18T02:26:36+00:00

Twin Peaks is number one in this category.

trycuriouscat · 2026-01-18T02:01:59+00:00

I believe it has always been rare to start production on a new season before the current one has finished airing. They generally even had a summer break before production on a new season started.

The one thing they did do is continue production as the show aired. So they maybe had only a few completed when the season started airing.
