While I'm at it, check out these other cool intro themes by Barry Gray (who did the UFO theme). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASvBTqfTrzA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E06cNv55jTs Yes, UFO was cool but this was even cooler. These were the shows that kids watched in the early 60's while their parents were getting sloshed at the neighborhood Tiki bar. [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2009-09-14 23:25 ] |

O.K. just my opinion here, but Battlestar Galactica kicks Defying Gravity's ass all over the place, I mean it made it, it's Bitch. |

Question: Does 77 Sunset Strip have much location shooting of late 50's / early 60's LA? Also in Hawaiian Eye, does it show what early 60's Waikiki looked like (other than the Hilton)? I'd love to see some authentic local flavor but it seems that most TV shows of that time were filmed at the studio. Thanks |

Atomic Tiki Punk, You want to talk Film Noir? I started a new thread for that in "Beyond Tiki". Actually this thread probably belongs there too. :) Check out "JOHN-O's Film Noir Thread" and share your feedback. http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=33987&forum=6&0 JOHN-O |

Yes to both questions. We have not finished Hawaiian Eye but it's been all over Oahu so far. We just started disc one of 77 Sunset Strip and it had lots of street scenes. Both are good time capsules and fun. Wendy |

Well Flashforward has turned into a soap, not going anywhere interesting, Venture Bros Rocks, Madmen finished the season on a high note, Fringe has turned into the X-Files in a good way, V, well nothing new there, but with better actors. Dexter is still good, John Lithgow is doing a great job. Looking forward to Band of Brothers:The Pacific...... |

I recently found this cartoon while watching television with my niece. http://www.qubo.com/willa_show.asp She (my niece) doesn't understand it (yet), she likes the animals in it. I like that it's drawn in a modernist/abstract style, plus the main character and her father live in a MCM home. I want to say I read this cartoon was based on the book "An octopus followed me home". Anyways, I figured if any of you had kids, you might want to know about it. I thought it was cute. [ Edited by: unkle john 2010-01-27 11:26 ] |

Like a lot of folks here, I'm waiting for Mad Men to return for season 4. And, of course, I never get tired of watching episodes of the original "Twilight Zone." As for other shows I'm keeping up with, I'm waiting for "Supernatural" and the re-imagined "V" series to return from hiatus. |

I'm back to Burn Notice - I LOVE Michael's mom's (Sharon Gless) place. I'm creating that effect (minus the ciggy smoke - even though I DO smoke!) in my living room. For people into the SHAG look (like me) there's a cartoon on this station called QUBO where this little girl has a yard full of exotic animals that all talk to her - but it's drawn in the mid-century modern look. I don't watch very often but it's cute and fun to look at the backgrounds! |

Man, Denis Leary's gotta stop that lip-pursing habit. Dude's got the mouth of an 80-year-old! Trying out "Persons Unknown". Group of people with iffy pasts trapped in an empty town they can't leave. Acting is not up there in quality but it's mildly interesting. |

One I haven't seen mentioned here is Corner Gas - the whole series was really enjoyable. I don't know if WGN is still showing it at all, and the DVDs can be harder to come by in the US, but I'd say it's worth seeking out. One of very few shows ever to actually make me laugh out loud. I'm also a sucker for Good Eats, even though I don't cook at all. |

I am working my way through the first season of The Mod Squad on DVD, and have just watched an episode featuring a scene shot (in 1967) at a Southern Californian beachside tiki art show. The scene is not very long (a couple of minutes), and is incidental to the main plot, but will probably be of interest to folks here. CN |
