Movie Quiz 11-26-2021
A rare film that takes aim at the frenzy of the McCarthy era while also being suffused with its Cold War paranoia. Full of stars from our past that not only lit up the cinema but TV Shows, Vocalist giant among other fields. McCarthy era, Cold War, drama, espionage. One of those movies you have to begin to watch and figure out what's actually going on. Once you do it's a cliff hanger and nail biter. There are three actors that I know of that are still living.

Too funny, there are theories about the moon. There's a certain amount of tracking on any browser so that's not a feeling it's a reality. I think we had a convo before I have one browser I use for general browsing, another for anything personal, financial, along that idea. I don't really notice a lot of spam nor any pop ups. I do get an occasional spam mail but not frequently. It is always fun conversing with you, I enjoy your viewpoint on many topics, also MPH, Moody ,Pacificsun, AWL as we seem to share common interests. I do enjoy chatting with others here as well.

10/12 I wasn’t to nifty on the fifties 🤠
I didn’t dig mash anymore after Larry linville left the show . At the end they actually all looked like they were in Korea for 13 years .I’m a stickler for authenticity, korea was 3 years ,which I don’t know how they got away with that for 13.Got to preachy after awhile too
I love that happy days developed the term 'jump the shark'. Does anybody know how that happened?
When fonzie literally jumped a shark in a two or three part episode when they went to California
8 right, ugh
The original 2 seasons of happy days are the best
I agree. It was conceived as a 1950s timeline, so the hairstyles, fashions, and lingo were pretty authentic. But later, it seemed like the 1950s just disappeared and was replaced with this weird Mash-up of 50s, 60s, and 70s. Plus, I hate the "Fonz" character, that ruined it for me.
Yes and when they went to a studio audience that REALLY ruined it .The fonz guys (greasers), we’re extinct in the 6o’s
I’d like stoogepaluza with Rick koz back on.Why I’d the studio
Pulling the plug on columbo???? He’s dead I can’t see another Chanel making more money on these episodes

So who writes this stuff? For instance, check out the following sentence: "Was Peter Brady himself Christopher Knight born in the 1950s?" What an awkward sentence. How about: "Was Christopher Knight (Peter Brady) born in the 1950s?" Now isn't that better?
