Pee Wee front and centre is great.

I just noticed that tree that was cut down next to Hadrian's wall at the top on the horizon.

The one that jars most is Lisa Loring, forever immortalised as a child.

Edit: is forever immortalised an oxymoron?

oxymoron are opposites arent they?

Forever and immortal mean the same thing, so. no.

 

[Over The Post]

It's a tautology.

Reported for abuse.

It's a tautology.

This is what I meant.

What a moron.

This may be a stupid question, but can someone offer enlightenment as to why there's a Crash Bandicoot doll at the front?

The original voice actor for Crash died early in the year.

If you're wondering what the tree in the background is, it's the Sycamore Tree which was destroyed.

Anyone who could provoke Nixon's musings after he watched All in the Family is a treasure in my book.

All In The Family, Maude , The Jeffersons and Good Times

Correct me if I'm wrong:

• Maude was Edith Bunker's sister, making Maude an All in the Family spinoff
• Florida was Maude's housekeeper/cleaner, making Good Times a Maude spinoff
• ?

Some great writing in those shows. Funny with deeper issues explored which was fairly unusual at the time.

When I was a kid Good Times was on mid-week on some channel at 5:30PM so watched a fair bit of it. Was genuinely shocked when James died. Thought that would be the end of the show. Too young and before internet so didn't realise John Amos had movies to go and make.

And to close the loop back to Spiney's post, my pretty much favourite John Amos character was when he was playing half of an older gay couple with Stacy Keach in Two and a Half Men. To me it was funny because they were still playing their career stereotypical characters, just in a gay setting. It amused me.

RIP Norman

Maude was Edith Bunkers cousin, not sister. (spin off into Maude series)

Florida was indeed her cleaner (spin off Good Times)

The Jefferson's lived next door to the Bunker's (spin off The Jeffersons)

Benjamin Zephaniah, 65, Brain Tumour

Turned down an OBE because he worked all his life against racism and colonisation, so why should he have "empire" as part of his name. Good on him.
