A few years ago I sponsored a movie chat at my forum called Rifftown Drive In, LOL evben did some art for the thread...



When we did tv shows I used to add old TV commercials between episodes and movies.
It was fun.

At one point I was adding music videos and youtube concerts too.

My standby videos were Pink Floyd. I would play music till everyone logged on, then I would start the movie or shows.
Sometimes the participants gave positive feedback on the choice of music or we just riffed out on old commercials.

The Terryington guy with the black eye, walking a milefor a camel, even the Pilsbury doughboy and sprout from Green Giant..not to mention Stupid Videos.com

So cool... That's awesome

started Chicago Fire,PD, and med month ago...only thing I've been watching

So, while I am gathering stuff for my collection I found some Star Trek shows I had no idea existed and a couple coming soon.











I also found This website which has lots of stuff for a Star Trek collection

Very old TV show which i use to see in childhood as i remember is Knight Rider

Been watching random episodes of The Outer Limits (1995)

There is nothing wrong with your television. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are now controlling the transmission. We control the horizontal, and the vertical. We can deluge you with a thousand channels, or expand one single image to crystal clarity... and beyond. We can shape your vision to anything our imagination can conceive. For the next hour, we will control all that you see and hear. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the deepest inner mind to... The Outer Limits. Please stand by.

Season 1
The Sandkings [1.01/1.02]

Control Voice: [opening narration] Some of man's greatest achievements have been motivated by a driving need for love and acceptance. What happens when that need for recognition becomes a desire to be revered and then worshiped... like a god?

Control Voice: [closing narration] Increasingly, modern science pursues powers traditionally reserved for the Almighty. But those who encroach upon the province of the gods realize too late that the price for entrance... is destruction.

White Light Fever [1.06]

Control Voice: [opening narration] The one certainty of the human experience is death. But what might happen when our effort to prolong the inevitable starts to turn that battle around? Will someone, or something, step in to ensure the final outcome?

Control Voice: [closing narration] For one man, the battle against death is over. But for the rest of us, the war rages on. At what point does the cost of survival... become too high a price for us to pay?

Under the Bed [1.11]

Control Voice: [opening narration] It is said only children are willing to believe in the possible existence of unknown creatures. When these creatures are discovered scientists will classify them by genus, class, order and species. But to children aren't they simply the monsters that they already know?

Control Voice: [closing narration] Our world has been mapped, the oceans charted, animals and plants named and indexed... or so we believe. But there are still places grownups forget they've been and it is children who remind us that there are creatures that lurk in the dark and... under the bed.

I've been watching Outer Limits for the past few days and I'm nearly done.

Next, I'm gunna give the 2021 1st season of Invasion a go...



Earth is visited by an alien species that threatens humanity's existence. Events unfold in real time through the eyes of five ordinary people across the globe as they struggle to make sense of the chaos unraveling around them.

Cobra Kai Is good but the only criticism I have is there are too many self-references I get they want the fanboys on their side but for me it's a bit much

Just wondering about others' thoughts on Eli Roth and Rob Zombie films for me they are hit and miss what are your thoughts?

This thread is mainly for TV shows.
There is a rather interesting thread on movies
http://mingle2.com/topic/613829
Plus you can make a new thread focused on just Eli Roth and Rob Zombie.

A couple more shows I've been rewatching lately...



Flashpoint (2012)
HDRip 7.80 Rating

When the Strategic Response Unit arrives, the rules change. The bad guy's caught - he just doesn't know it yet. The SRU, inspired by Toronto's Emergency Task Force, is a handpicked team of elite cops. High risk is their business and these men and women do it all: rescue hostages, bust gangs, defuse bombs. Talk down suicidal teens. Protect the Pope. They handle state-of-the-art weapons - sniper rifles, flash-bang grenades, tasers. They climb the sides of buildings. See through walls. But they're different from other SWAT teams. Because their arsenal also includes a gift for words. A knowledge of human intuition. An instinct for when it's time to negotiate - and when the 'solution' calls for something more. On the scene, they're in charge. No one knows their job better. SRU Constables outrank senior Inspectors - and the Inspectors don't like it. Regular uniforms grumble when pushed aside by the SRU 'prima donnas.' While secretly wishing they were in their place. It's a tough job. A job that carries the kind of pressure only your teammates - your band of brothers - can really understand. It's a stress that shades all your choices and can take a heavy toll on families, friends, lovers... These people are A-types and risk-takers. On the job, they play by the rules, bend them if they have to. But off the job, all bets are off.

HD 7.20 Rating

Inspired by the television series and the feature film, S.W.A.T. stars Shemar Moore as a former Marine and locally born and raised S.W.A.T. sergeant, tasked to run a specialized tactical unit that is the last stop in law enforcement in Los Angeles. Torn between loyalty to where he was raised and allegiance to his brothers in blue, Daniel "Hondo" Harrelson strives to bridge the divide between his two worlds and acclimate to his new duties as the legal guardian of a teenager. Hondo's elite unit includes David "Deacon" Kay, an experienced S.W.A.T. officer and dedicated family man who always puts the team first; Christina "Chris" Alonso, a skilled officer and the team's canine trainer; Dominique Luca, an expert driver who gets them in and out of high risk situations; Victor Tan, who started in the LAPD Hollywood Division and uses his confidential informants in the community to help the team; and Jim Street, the team's cocky newest member who is re-instated to S.W.A.T. after being fired for compromising the unit. Responsible for the management of all Metro Division S.W.A.T. units is Commander Robert Hicks, a senior LAPD official with the Special Operations Bureau. Following Captain Jessica Cortez's departure for the FBI, the Mayor assigns Lieutenant Piper Lynch to SWAT as a tactical consultant, where she challenges the team's field strategy, which raises questions about her loyalty. With Hondo leading the charge, these dedicated men and women bravely put themselves at risk to protect their community and save lives.

I am watching "Breaking Bad" on AMC every Saturday for the last few weeks.

Hi Cat
Love this series. If you haven't seen Better Call Saul (the spin-off) that's a good one to watch as well.

I tried watching Better Call Saul, but missed way too many episodes and got too far behind.

Aww, ok. If you have Netflix they have 5 seasons. But if not, you're not missing anything; because it almost makes better sense to watch Better Call Saul first.

Just finished Bridgerton on Netflix. It was cute.

JFL gags and Cash Cab ... on a regular basis !!!

"Degrassi": The Canadian, legendary 80's series as well as the 2000's reboot.

It is so impressive that the series was way ahead of its time and that the script and character development discussed such taboo topics. Also, I'm obsessed with the 80's fashion.
