Rammy's Ramblings

[Rammy]

Never would have guessed the movie and don't even remember it. Maybe didn't see it. I like curry flavor but not really hot.

It wasnt a movie that was well known. Dont think it did well at the box office , but is one of my favorites. It also had Howard Hessman in it, if you remember him from WKRP, another one of my favorite shows, especially the guy who played Randy Travis<wowza>. It also had Fran Dreshman<sp> and Donna Dixon, who ended up marrying Dan in it. She was the tall blonde in the movie. She was also on a show called Bossom Buddies, which gave Tom Hanks his acting start. I dont know if they have MeTv down there on your channel line up in Tx, but they show all the old 70's and 80's shows on there like Gilligans Island, Hogans Heroes, Lavergne and Shirley, to name a few. I watch that channel alot because it was a time when, in my opinion, the shows were cleaner, no cussing, or very little, no sex scenes, not what they call tv today. One of my favorite shows I still watch is Andy Griffith. Funny, clean, no violence. Why cant they make shows like that anymore? Makes you wonder if they did, maybe there wouldnt be so much teen violence, or violence at all like it is today? Sad.

I like magyver.........learned a lot from it.........

Oh, yeah! Watched that one, too. I wonder if he realized how the term McGyvering would come from his show. I dont like the new McGyver. Some shows just arent the same when remade.
I have the complete SG1 series he did after that. Alot of good shows from years back. Dont have cable or satellite anymore. Mostly watch movies, whatever us on the antenna, Netflix, Prime, or Amazon. Cheaper, too.

 

[Bills Vs Beaks]

not sure, although the term macgyverisms actually originated in the show, so perhaps.
new macgyver? never even watched it
same here. no cable, just amazon and netflix an youtube. or mebbe old dvds once in a while

I used the term McGyvering a lot back in the 80's. I had bought and restored a 1961 Triump TR3 and after having to stop and play McGyver on the main drag in Norfolk, VA and was wearing my Navy Dress White uniform. After screwing up the uniform completely I put a for sale sign on the car once I got it home and sold it about an hour later.

 

[Rammy]

Awwwww.....poor Mike! Sucks you had to sell it. Hope you didnt get in trouble over your uniform.
Funny, tho, how some things on tv or movies make it into our terminology.

It's Fran Drescher and probably best known for her role in The Nanny.

I knew I hadnt spelled her name right. I have all the seasons of The Nanny, too, so you would think I would of spelled it correctly. My favorite episode was when Niles did the Risky Business dance and CeCe walked in on him and he says, "You know I will have to kill you now." hahaha....
