Poor me.
Well, back to my survey of every single economic transaction in the history of our species, one by one.
So, as you can see, I have a really compelling and important and necessary things to do; how could I take a break?
@therealjrn Of course I know who he is, but was surprised to see it so early in the day. I’m in Pacific, but it usually starts at 8PM, not in the early afternoon.
Actually, it’s still The Rifleman here. I’ll look again around 8PM, at its normal time. I’m glad you mentioned it, though. It’s one of my favorites (although it usually is better with alcohol and friends around).
You know, I don’t know which movie I have This Island Earth confused with, but when I see it listed I’m disappointed until I start watching it and remember I love it. It perplexes me.
I wish Svengoolie could show some of the stuff he had back in the '90’s. I lost my videotapes of The Body SnatchersandYou’ll Find Out. And I don’t think I ever finished watching You’ll Find Out.
I’m trying to remember a movie with bat-like things that attached themselves to people and a guy had a big radio communicator in his closet or behind a curtain or something.
@therealjrn Maybe 'It Conquered the World" with Lee Van Cleef? It’s got a giant evil nipple like alien and little bat things that do the mind controlling.

@therealjrn That movie holds a special place in my heart. When I was six or so years old, my mother let me get a little plastic version of the monster at a thrift store. It wasn’t til years later I found out it was from a movie. That monster was the bad guy no matter what toys I was playing with.
Huh.
Right.
What’s that again?
@f00l it’s code for the cool kids…
(I didn’t get it either!)

It’s such a fun area of inquiry! Never boring.
/giphy “poor me”
I just wish that @therealjrn had specified which time zone that was in.
/giphy Svengoolie
@Shrdlu Sorry. It’s CDT on MeTV. I assumed everybody knew Svengoolie.
@Shrdlu @therealjrn
I’m mostly TV-illiterate amd vídeo-illiterate.
This is not a humblebrag tho.
Just proof that i can’t manage my spare time.

@f00l
You should, at the very least, know about Svengoolie. He’s part of TV classic canon. We’ll cover F-Troop at a later date.
@Shrdlu You have something to look forward to then!
@therealjrn
F-troop seems to strike a childhood memory chord for me …
I’m good re Gilligan tho.
@f00l @therealjrn
Or Maynard G Krebs on Dobie Gillis… Bob Denver pre-Gilligan
If you people don’t know about Svengoolie, it’s high time you knew. He’s on MeTV, a network that has great programming.

My five year old just asked, " Why is that scientist named Cow?"

@mossygreen Is it Forbidden Planet?
@therealjrn Oooh, that might be it! Although it feels so wrong to be disinterested in a movie with Leslie Nielsen, Anne Francis and Robbie the Robot…
@mossygreen Yeah, there’s a different one that’s probably the right one–that one looks too much like a hoot.
@therealjrn I looked it up on wikipedia and the narrator is played by an uncredited Les Tremayne!
Only one reason I know about This Island Earth…

Does anybody remember a movie like that?

@Nate311
THAT’S THE ONE! Gee, you’re good at this
I thought it might have been @mossygreen’s movie, but I don’t think it is now that I took a peek at it.

@Nate311 @therealjrn As all correct-thinking people do.
@Nate311 So that’s probably why no one ever wanted to play My Little Ponies with you.
