@Aguy You might like this mini-series if you haven't seen it:

Here are a couple of short run super hero shows from 1967. (Despite the trailer Mr. Terrific was a "live" action show.)

I am not using the term forgettable in any particular sense - in this case I would use it to describe a bit of essentially fluff that fewer and fewer people will know about as time goes on. One odd piece of trivia is that Edgar Buchanan ( a marvelous character actor) who played Uncle Joe was the only actor to appear in all 220 episodes. He went on to star in the 1974 movie Benji with Higgins (the dog from Petticoat Junction).

I imagine it was just an off the cuff remark that the on air people didn't think through. Here is a more complete version: https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1994-04-08-1994098105-story.html

There was a radio station (I think it was in California) that as a gag said they had hidden a fairly large amount of money in various denominations in books in a local library. Listeners descended on the library and threw pretty much all of the books on the floor looking for the non-existant money. Between the damage to books and having to reshelve everything the radio station got stuck with a really large bill.

I am probably the only person here who saw this: It was supposed to compete with Laugh In and only ran for one episode. In some markets it was pulled early because program managers saw how bad it was and had to field complaints from irate viewers. A truly unique episode (as it were) in tv history.

Heh.

Just grab one blind and decide you don't want to play it. Repeat as needed until you get one you might want to play.

I have that on DVD and actually enjoyed it quite a bit. A big problem with it was that cell phones were just coming into use and were never very adequately accounted for in the storyline. The island also usually didn't seem to have anyone on it (other than the principals) despite showing lots of signs of having a lot of people there. There were a lot of people at the bar scene - so maybe they just stayed there all of the time! If you have never seen it this is a marvelous movie sorta on the same lines.

The only two I ever really liked only lasted a few episodes each : (The "guest stars" mentioned in the intros didn't actually appear on shows.)

Fortunately that one was on the air at a time when I watched very little TV! Sitcoms are usually the pits.

Actually both shows had a pretty good cast of older entertainment personalities (read up on Smiley Burnette who played an engineer on Petticoat Junction until his death - he had a really interesting career). The problem was that the scripts for both shows were pretty hopeless. The worst IMHO was this clunker/turkey:

Especially when the real star was an out and out pig.....

This show had a tie in to the famous "The Beverly Hillbillies" tv show. Petticoat Junction spawned yet another forgettable tie in to both shows called "Green Acres". I did like the buffoonish Uncle Joe* - who unbeknownst to all was way ahead of his time......... *Green Acres had the conniving Mr. Haney who was pretty funny too.

Special Reserve Games is offering a second round of these:

Maybe he was looking for the Easter Bunny: https://www.yahoo.com/news/large-alligator-saunters-florida-neighborhood-165815565.html

Sorta. *Unties right hand from behind his back.*

Truth hurts doesn't it? ???? * Money made last year was made under Biden and taxed (this year under Biden). Legislation could have been passed to address that. *And I am glad to see your vocabulary is so intricate.

Especially since this thread is pretty much specifically about the new reporting requirement. For purposes of this thread can we agree that "Let's go Brandon" is much more appropriate - I don't think anyone here is happy with this situation are they? GROUP HUG!!!!

FYI (for whoever cares) - This lovely bit of malicious* legerdemain was part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. https://www.twrblog.com/2021/03/american-rescue-plan-act-clarifies-scope-of-form-1099-k-reporting-and-reduces-de-minimis-threshold It was passed in early March of that year on an almost totally party line basis - one Democrat member of the house voted against it and one Republican was absent for the vote. It passed the Senate on strict partly lines with all members voting. President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. signed the bill on March 12, 2021. *Which popular sentiment on this sentiment seems to indicate.

Here is one in the box with the insert:

I got mine a long long time ago at an electronics clearance show. Think I paid like $10 for it. One thing that they also came with (which mine didn't have) was an index card that fit in the manual compartment - not really sure what use that was since you can see everything in the case,

Y'all can just go to hell!

I hope they publish a book about their findings: https://news.yahoo.com/frozen-birds-flooded-towns-britain-155639704.html I would also like to see more research done on the period preceeding this - known as the Medieval Warming Period.
