I’d be outraged if I cared. I mean it’s the only the loss of another imaginary right to see Radar’s naked butt on something I don’t pay attention to unless someone sends me a link, but still, there’s the principle of the thing.

Can you imagine the poor guy who has a daily search list that includes “Radar’s butt”?

I wondered if Debralee Scott was still acting, so I looked her up. According to a few sites, she had been engaged to a NYC cop who died in the 9/11 attacks on the twin towers. Afterwards, according to her mother, she pretty much drank herself to death, passing away in 2005.

Well,\*\* bienville\*\* said one of the things I was going to say.

I’ll say that’s a good quality print, video transfer, whatever.

You are unfamiliar with how crappy and opaque pantyhose were in 1970. She’s wearing them in her death scene and it shows.

He rolls his eyes just like her! Isn’t that cute?

I avoided that show because it looked like a live-action _Thunderbirds,_ but I didn’t know the same people created it. Okay, the sets should’ve been a dead giveaway, but I never watched it that long. I’m surprised the American guy actually was American. It was disorienting.

There are only a few American actors that live semi-permanently in the UK, and you see them recur a lot in British sitcoms and dramas, as they are frequently sought after. Ed Bishop is one, and also there’s Michael Brandon, and Ruby Wax.

They make me look like I’m not wearin’ nothin’ 😛

But seriously, pantyhose under _pants_? Thank goodness for the invention of the thong.

Could anyone please tell me a time index where that scene happens? I watched a bunch of it and couldn’t find it.

Oh yummy! This lady is a star in her own right.

Funny thing is … (or maybe sad is a better word), if you were to look at a picture of her today, you would just see some lady that you couldn’t even recognize.

People have such a short span when it comes to beauty. It’s like from age 16 to 30 they can be seen as beautiful. But after that, beauty fades so quickly. But like the old saying goes …

“Beauty fades. But dumb is forever.”

One of the best sayings ever. So sad it is attributed to one of the meanest, nastiest and most vile human beings to ever step foot on this planet.

There was another scene from The Simpsons that I think just may have been the funniest thing I’ve ever seen on TV.

Homer had some need to race down a huge hill. It wasn’t in winter time and he was using some other kind of device to race down the hill. He had some need to impress Bart or something.

Anyway, he took a fall and hit just about every kind of object possible and suffered the most incredible pain.

Funniest Simpsons clip I ever saw. I’m so sorry that I don’t remember which episode it was from. Maybe someone else might know what I’m talking about?

I’m so sorry I can’t give any better description of that scene.
