Re: The Wizard of Oz

We did not get a VCR until I was in high school, and cable waited until a few years after that (pay for TV? Not in this house!). So, movies I actually saw more than once in those formative years were restricted to what managed to be played on local TV on the weekends. I'd say The Cowboys, King Kong, and maybe one of the early Marx Brothers films. More than those, though, the TV series Star Blazers defines my childhood. I lived that show for all of 4th grade.

Same here, I had to visit friends to see or do anything that wasn't currently being broadcast...and I lived in farm country several miles from the nearest subdivision. VCR came in around 1990 (age 16-ish), never had cable in my parents' place. If I wanted to see a movie more than once, I'd better just stay in the theater and wait for the next show.

Totally, Rob! I'd pull the funnies and the TV guide section out of the newspaper every Sunday and read the whole listing of every movie scheduled that week. When I went away to college I became known as the guy to who could (and would compulsively) name-that-movie just by walking into (or past) the TV room and catching a glimpse of a given scene. MPAA and star-ratings on demand were also part of the services I provided.  cool

No, not at all, we'd never try to compete with Pavlich, because we'd fail miserably. In fact, Pavlich is welcome to join us any time he wants to, too.

But yeah, Dorkman, we'd totally do a Super Mario Bros commentary with you. smile
