Aviation is considered to be hours of boredom punctuated by seconds of terror. Space travel in the 23rd century seems to have a somewhat better ratio.

Same way Felix Leiter went from Jack Lord, to some other guy and eventually to a black guy in Never Say Never Again

See multiple GQ threads/SD column on “rule of thumb.”

Secret signal to her mother who she inheritd the condition from.
You’d think Pete and Jim woulda gave up police work. After answering every serious call in the book, and getting kidnapped 15 times, and getting into legal trouble every other episode…they musta been thinking they had picked the wrong profession.
Also, in Dragnet, how do Joe Friday and that other guy always manage to transfer detective divisions? I bet the brass were getting tired of their transfer request antics.
And isn’t it interesting that Station 51 on Emergency! traveled throughout Los Angeles County–urban; suburban; mountains; oceanside (boats off Catalina; downed helicopter; fallen hikers off Fort MacArthur in San Pedro)? I’ve lived in L. A. County for 50 years and I find it difficult to imagine that the fire department would have 50 other stations (or 115 others?) and yet send Station 51 all over the place…
How many times would Marshall Matt Dillon (Gunsmoke) have to shoot that guy on the street of Dodge City before he finally killed him? Gosh, Doc Adams must have become rich enough to retire…
Why didn’t Ponch and John, from C.H.I.P.S., when in persuit, ever radio in back-up? Or at least radio and tell dispatch where the Hell their headed to?
On that same show, why was everyone driving down the freeway doing about twenty miles an hour?
And why was it whenever a beater car was driving down the road, you just knew it was going to end up in a crash? And when it did crash, it launched about thirty feet into the air and flew down the highway, usually overtaking cars underneath it?
Family Matters?! What do you mean?! Nobody watched that show! [sub]pssssttt. I heard she took to much attention away from story lines, and they had no real use for her. Don’t tell anybody you heard that from me. [/sub]
How do Bart, Lisa, and Maggie (well, Maggie is too young to care!) know where their heads end and their hair begins?
And why is Ned Flanders the only “nice” person on The Simpsons (with the possible exception of Marge!)?
Since Martin Crane has to use a cane, why did he consent to move into Frasier’s high-rise apartment (especially since he has to walk Eddie!)?
Whay haven’t there been any Canadian contestants on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (Yes, I saw the celebrity competition last week.)
We’re not allowed to play. That’s why we had that special Canadian Edition with Pamela Wallin a few months ago. It does appear that if you are celebrity and Canadian, they do break their no-Canadians allowed rule.
