Gah! You're making me feel old, Bingo! I haven't seen Project UFO since it originally aired. Even Sci-Fi never dug it up. It had a Dragnet "just the facts" vibe as Sgt. Joe Friday himself, Jack Webb was the producer.
I think a DVD release was announced last year, but nothing yet.
Where were you in '77?
I've been watching some of the old Kolchak episodes lately. The werewolf one on the cruise boat was actually so campy I laughed in several spots. But the one called Firefall about the doppleganger was really good, and very, very creepy!

Dr. Forbin Victor Newman was a werewolf! Who knew? ;)
I think the one with the killer mannequins made me afraid of dept. stores for a time.

I have never even heard of that show and I am a huge fan of both Sci-fi and Jack Webb,I hope it comes to DvD soon so I can check it out.
Thanks for letting me know this exists.

Still it does say something about how good The X files was i think that these problems that would kill most shows for me didn't kill The X Files. I still love the show and just wish certain things had been done a little better but over all it is still one my favorite shows.
I think the strength of the series lies in the characters. As lame as some of the stories of the later seasons often became, Mulder, Scully, Skinner, Krycek, Gigarette Smoking Man, X, the Lone Gunmen, etc. were all perfectly developed and executed that it was a joy just to watch the episodes for them alone.
Yeah good characters are really important to a TV show. Given the nature of TV productions you are going to have a certain number of below average episodes every season,it's just too hard in most cases to produce 24-28 episodes of well written ground breaking Tv in one year,some of the scripts will be rushed and be badly written,but good characters the viewers like seeing and want to know more about can get your show over these humps.
A lot of shows today don't seem to understand this but it is important to to have likable,interesting,complex,and well thought out characters played by good actors in a Tv show. After all without that what are people tuning in for each week?

It's hard to take you seriously if you don't mean what you demand.
eh? What do you mean I don't mean what I demand?

I still can't find any work because there are not any jobs in my state,my family can not make ends meet because my dad was in the hospital for so long and my mom had to take time off work earlier this year due to the fact that my dad was so out of it he couldn't stay awake so she had to deal with things at the hospital,we have no food in the house,a negative balance at the bank,bills to pay,no gas so my mom and dad and brother have to walk the couple of dozen miles to work,my brother and sister are most likely going to have to quit school because all the schools in the area require you to go online with highspeed to do school work and all sorts of costly supplies,and we can't afford them any more, we have not had a decent meal in two weeks,and Wal-Mart is about one day away from firing my mom because she took too much time off to deal with my dad who was dying earlier this year.
My internet service runs out in a three days so if you don't hear from me after that,then that is the reason. It's not because I got mad at anyone or anything bad happened to me. I just want to make that clear.
Things have never been worse and yet still I can't find one stupid job because everyone is down sizing. I have never felt more useless or more like a burden. I really hate life right now.
Sorry for venting here where no one can do anything but I don't have anywhere else left to vent,so thanks for letting me let off some steam.
This country needs to get rid of all of the minimum wage laws so that companies will start hiring again and people like me and my family who need work or we are going to end up starving to death on the streets can get jobs and underbid the undocumented workers who pour into this country every day.
Right now there are no jobs but since no one will hire without an address and phone number I can't just walk across the country to find work like people used to,and since the minimum wage is so high companies either hire workers off of the books or don't hire at all. There is no way to avoid losing if you were not born super rich,right now.
We need some radical changes in this country because it has failed the average citizen.
I am so sick of not being able to do a god damn mother fucking thing to help my family in these situations. I really wish there was a way to sell my self into slavery or sell my organs so my family could get the money.
Right now I am no good to anyone and we are about to end up on the streets without a cent to our names and I can not do one fucking thing to stop it!
I hate everything about living in this mother fucking country in this fucking time!
I just want one stupid job,I will do anything for any amount of money,is that really too much to ask?
I hate how the rainbow has been virtually monopolized by the LGBTQ movement. In my art class, to demonstrate that we'd made it past kindergarten, we had to create a scale of colours going from hot to cold. I did them in the same order as in a rainbow and someone thought I was making a political statement. :P

I have finally corrected the mistake in my post that Frink was referring to. Not sure how I didn't see that.
DrCrow, sorry you are having a such a hard time. Not sure what to say. I only hope things get better for you.
I hope the same. I forgot to mention something before complaining about rainbows.
RicOlie, if I didn't know you were a "hate the sin, love the sinner" type, I'd actually agree with you. When I was a kid I never understood why people thought it was silly that I liked rainbows -- why not like all the colors together? However I have the sneaking suspicion that you only care because it's a gay issue.
That's pretty silly that someone thought that was a political statement from a kindergardener, though.
A Goon in a Gaggle of 'em
I think you misunderstand me then. (And it was I who ordered the colours in rainbow order, not a kindergartener. It was part of an exercise in art class that I thought belonged in kindergarten, so that's where that word came in).
I also would be equally annoyed if the rainbow was strongly associated with something else, and somebody thought I was making a statement about that. Or, had I drawn another symbol, for example, a crescent moon with a star beside it (presumably in a picture of the night sky) I would have been equally annoyed to have it associated with support of Islam, despite the fact that I have no problem with Islam itself.
It has nothing to do with the gay issue itself. Nor is it the fact that they chose to represent themselves with a rainbow that annoys me, just that that symbol has become so strongly associated with that movement that I can't order colours in a certain way without someone thinking it's a political statement.
"Hate" is a very strong word, something like "It's funny how the rainbow has... because in art class today" would seem more appropriate but clearly you feel very strongly about how the Gay community have used this symbol to represent freedom.
By the way, if you think that that art exercise "belonged in kindergarten" you weren't paying attention. It's one of many such exercises designed to get you to think differently*. By putting them in rainbow order you failed to understand the question, so it might have been better to pretend it was a deliberate mistake to make a political point and so look like you were an avant-garde genius LOL.
* Also try; painting a kitchen utensil using only a kitchen utensil, drawing a still life with one single unbroken line, or painting with household bleach on black paper.

I suppose I should watch the way I word things more carefully. Colloquially, at least where I'm from, "I hate how..." is generally just taken as hyperbole.

Distinguishing warm from cold colours and practicing shading was all the exercise was. I guess kindergarten is a gross exaggeration, but it's something I've had to do numerous times in the past (and kindergarten feels close enough to grade 6). The rainbow does indeed go from warm colours to cold colours, so I'm not sure I understand why you think I failed to understand.
If I had pretended to do it on purpose, I might have gained points in my teachers eyes, but I prefer to do that the hard way. :D

Nope. For a start, Blue is the coldest colour, it is in the middle of a rainbow (Plus it's an exercise about people's variable perceptions, so unless every time that you've done this exercise it was with the exact same group of people, you did a different exercise each time.)

I see where you're coming from now. I didn't anticipate people picking apart my complaint so much, so I summed up the exercise (which as I understood it was just to distinguish cold from warm colours)...um...a completely different way...
OK, OK, my original post was an abuse of the English language, art, and the past. Just cut me some slack already! ;)
I must admit I deserve every bit of correction and criticism for the way I worded my post, since I tend to be very technical and critical myself...
