This has actually happened before, with tragic results. The studio audience actually suffers perfectly simultaneous strokes at the shock of seeing it…I witnessed this spectacle firsthand. Not a pretty sigh.
I’m not surprised (that there are plenty of Starblazer sites) though I’ve never looked. I was just sitting here thinking about the TV shows of my youth and it popped into my head. I was just too lazy to go looking myself. And now I don’t need to! Thanks mate.
'Fraid not. They got close once but Johnny queered the deal thinking that Chet was playing a practical joke on him.
The engine met it’s match when Roy and Johnny were on their way to a parade with the fully restored engine (they were all dressed up in old fashioned gear too) and they heard a call about a big structure fire with multiple injuries. They decided to bag the parade and help and, while they were there, a large brick wall collapsed on the engine.
They may have sold it after that but not for the big bucks they were hoping for.
Ah, I love Emergency!
Now someone figure out why those eligible bachelors Pete Malloy and Joe Friday never found the right woman…
Re Gilligan’s Island: I wonder why the castaways used bamboo and whatever other materials they found on the island–and the Professor’s expertise–to build huts, rather than constructing a Kon Tiki-like raft, or even repairing the Minnow.
About Cheers: at the end of the show’s run, one reviewer called Diane the “princess of repression.” I think she sabotaged Sam’s efforts to romance or seduce her.
About 3rd Rock from the Sun: You get the idea that the landlady, Dr. Albright, Officer Don, and the other people the Solomons have contact with, either have the patience of saints, or are thoroughly idiotic themselves. As for the Big Giant Head (William Shatner), I don’t think there’s anything wrong with him that execution wouldn’t cure…
Wich episode of Emergency! came first? The fire engine being readied for the parade, or Johnny and Roy’s efforts to sell it to Bernard Fox?
I also think it’s a shame Dixie didn’t have a romantic relationship with Johnny…
Oh geez, I’m dyin’ here. When I tried to picture Popeye as a borg I had a laughing fit so bad my co-workers called 911.
The dumbasses on G’s Island coudn’t fix the minnow because it came completely apart after repairing it with the professor’s special tree sap glue. The eventually did make a raft in the TV movie but it took them a while to figure that out.
As a young lad I was always transfixed on the cleavage Ginger displayed in her inappapropriate gowns but the question on my mind was alawys, “doesn’t that itch?”
Sam and Diane never got back together but he did call her a mullethead afther one of her comments about ending a sentance with a preposition.
What happened to Alf? The series ended with him standing in a field surrounded by government agents with no chance of escape. Way to tie up all the loose ends there, guys. :rolleyes:
