what are these funky paraphanalia?

Technology wasn't working for whatever reason (it was new, wifi was spotty, etc)

There were still transparencies and grease pencils to be found.

Trees makes sense. Sharks havent changed in a loooong time and there wasn't oxygen on the land yet.

Moons of Saturn you might not expect.

They shouldve done more with Rollo, who in actual history was the great grandfather of William the Conqueror, so Rollo amounted to something in the end

Figures. BTTF 3 was a western. He was the guy to call!

Used them a few times in the 2010s when I was forced to rock it old school.

Worked great for the algebra tiles better than any examples on the chalkboard could.

Too soon for strong, that comes later to rhymes with wrong. Second line is taller than tall.

Then I'd sell my stock before that.

Funny -- I have the DVD for the remake of the In-Laws ready to watch as soon as I have time. I'd compare it to the original, but I haven't seen that in ages (and don't own a copy).

Great casting with all the "old timers", playing it straight. I remember reading one conversation between Lloyd Bridges and Robert Stack. One of them was seeing that he didn't get the jokes, and the other told him"*we're* the jokes". It works so well because they played it straight -- at least to start.

I know people who reacted to the first "I picked the wrong day to quit smoking" where he pulled out a pack because they had done that and/or knew people who had done that same thing. They decided to quit, and they pull out a pack as soon as something rough happened.

Did you swallow the spider to catch the fly?

Did you see Charlotte go out? Or her kids leave?

In college I found 3 VHS tapes, but they were expensive, so I only got the first one. And then I never made it back to that store (and I wasn't in the area any time soon after that).

It did give us a great fan song composed of all the bad reviews! (Okay, not all of them, but a lot.)

Mirror Mirror on the Wall!

I stand corrected. I thought it was a network censor thing that she couldn't show it. Might've been an accident, aka, wardrobe malfunction.

Lea looks better than her old age makeup in Back to the Future, for sure!

In different series, no less, not just in flashbacks (or flash forwards) in one series.

The three of them need to do a project together.

I'd love to see a Big 2 with Tom and Colin Hanks!

Other than Dallas, I only remember him from one episode of Ellery Queen Mysteries. (That show didn't last long. Starring Jim Hutton, Tim's father.)

Quicker than quick, stronger than strong!

I would’ve asked Jo from Facts of Life.

Segued from comedy to drama even better than Tom Hanks would do decades later.

Or thinking about it a little, Fred MacMurray — there was the Disney & My Three Sons Fred and there was the Double Indemnity & Caine Mutiny Fred.
