Neito posted:Blight was an on-and-off villain for about the first two seasons of Beyond. He was mostly puppetmastering to get Bruce's half of Wayne-Powers Enterprises, rather than directly being a walking radioactive waste dump. The secret of Batman Beyond is that it's basically Spider-man. Blight is the Green Goblin, even with his own layabout son. It got meta given Spider-man Homecoming has a teenager in a power suit being reluctantly mentored by an older superhero.

Hey now, the Braves finally managed a World Series win in 1995  One of the apocryphal stories of Ted Turner is that he would bring a cooler of beer into Fulton County Stadium and heckle his own team from the cheap seats, shirtless.

It has a bunch of stories about how crazy Turner was. Though if he heckled anyone shirtless from the stands, it was the Hawks. He tried to tank them so he could move them to Charlotte.

An Olympics-lite so insignificant bickering countries couldn't even be bothered to boycott it. But the Braves and Hawks work too. Ted Turner bought both not because he liked baseball or basketball, but because they have lots of games and their seasons don't overlap much so he could fill his TBS broadcast schedules.

There was a story once about a guy bringing his date to a Braves game and there were so few people there the pitcher had time to cock block him and take his girl. I think their all-time low for paid attendance was 27, which meant there were more people on the field than in the stands. EDIT: ha...I just looked up that book. A book about the losingest team in baseball...published May 1st, 1991 (for those not aware, that was one month into the season where the Braves would win the NL title. They won their division for the next...I think 14 years straight). Krispy Wafer has a new favorite as of 12:56 on Sep 5, 2018 |

Burt Reynolds died and got me to thinking how his poo poo hasn't aged really well at all. Aside from The Longest yard and Deliverance he was basically the embodiment of 70's macho cheesy sex symbols. Sort of the Tom Selleck of the 70's. Boogie Nights owned though.

BiggerBoat posted:They need to get Norm McDonald to deliver the eulogy as Turd Ferguson My favorite SNL story was they were going to do a "celebrity Jeopardy" with norm as Burt, and he'd deliver the same nonsensical answers he'd always give. Then the real Burt Reynolds was going to show up on stage and run Norm off and take his place. And his answers were going to be even worse than Norm's. But then Norm got fired and the whole thing fell through.

Evening Shade wasn't a bad show. Reynolds was the lead, but smart enough to play straight man to a town of misfits and weirdos. Reynolds taught at a small school and was the head coach of an insanely awful football team. The character actors (Ossie Davis, Hal Holbrook, Michael Jeter, etc.) were fantastic and the high cost of paying everyone was allegedly a reason it wasn't renewed. Only one season has been released on DVD.

Weirdly enough, the only Burt Reynolds movie I remember was "Malone," in which he plays as a former CIA agent who stumbles upon a right-wing conspiracy to seize control of various country towns and harass recalcitrant townsfolk. It's basically a weird episode of the 70s Incredible Hulk, only he finds shotguns when he's angry. It stuck with me because Malone is a family name and Reynolds looks remarkably like a lot of my uncles on that side of the family, at least the way they looked in the 70s. Not one of them has ever kicked in the door to a right-wing militia's high tech bunker though, at least to my knowledge.

While not a single episode per se, I've been watching CHiPs episodes on Amazon as it was one of my favorite shows as a kid. The years have not been kind. Any cop that's constantly hitting up people he pulls over for dates would surely be fired now a days.
