    • The 1960’s Avengers
    • Stallone’s Oscar
    • Clue
    • 1995 Pride and Prejudice
    • We’re No Angels (the 1955 film)
    • Old MST3K
    • The Bride and the Beast on Rifftraxx (“Doesn’t everyone have a basement gorilla?”)
    • The Wild Wild West (the TV series, not the film)
    • The Columbo series
    • Pretty much any made for TV movie, especially in the 1970s (Rehearsal for Murder is one of my favorites)


  • Before anyone points out that everyone died at 25 or something like that, the low life expectancy had a lot to do with child and infant mortality. If you made it to adulthood, you had a decent chance of making to to 50 or 60, which isn’t a modern life span, but it’s better than most people realize.

    And, as you point out, you spent more of your time living rather than just working. If I had almost twice the time with my loved ones while I was young, that might be a decent tradeoff for losing ten or twenty years later one.
