Oh, you mean like I announced in the post DIRECTLY ABOVE YOURS??

Do you read ANYTHING anyone else posts? I mean, we can just give you your own base where EVERYONE ELSE is banned, so you can have long, interminable conversations with your very favorite person in the world, all day long.

Again, you goddam imbecile, you (or whoever did the one of James Garner) post a fucking 20 year old picture that doesn't even look like him now, and then expect people to recognize, now, what they looked like, then.

If you're gonna post a picture that's possibly older than you are, and give no mention as to who it is, expect others to possibly misread it for someone else.

That's what you request and require when you post unidentified old pictures. You wanted it that way, so you got what you demanded by expecting everyone else to be psychic or be able to remember every famous person's image throughout all of the changes for their entire life.

I'll bet anyone on this website that it wasn't suicide but rather, he David Carradined it.

How does a fifty-year-old goddamn shut-in not recognize Robin Williams as Mork from fucking ORK?

How is that possible?

How?

I ask you.

How?

I ask you.
Because I never watched the fucking show, you goddam imbecile. I never watched a single episode. I've never watched Friends, and I've only watched the last episode of Seinfeld. Lots of shows I have no reference for.

Beyond that, do you expect people to remember a 30-year-old program that is not currently in syndication and has not been seen on any TV network - broadcast, cable or satellite - for at least ten years or more? Watched The Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres or the Robert Wagner version of It Takes a Thief lately? How about St. Elsewhere or L.A. Law?

The TV show Pawn Stars has a sequence where the store buys Star Wars figurines from customers, and Big Hoss, (Corey) the owner's son, tells how he has never seen any of the Star Wars movies. He says it's a kids nmovie. His father, Rick, looks at him, and says (he was at the counter when his father was negotiating with the customer),"We just bought $7,000 worth of Star Wars figures. Do you think kids spend that kind of money on these things? No. Adults do."

Corey wasn't thinking and you aren't either. And since Corey has never seen any of the Star Wars films, any reference to any of them is going to be completely lost on him.

He ends up watching the movie - on company time - because they want him to better understand the series so that he'll be better able to handle buying and selling the memoriabilia such as figurines related to it.

In this thread, Tdarcos justifies not knowing who Mork (Robin Williams' breakout role and a television classic) is by saying that "Big Hoss" from the reality television show Pawn Stars has never seen the movie Star Wars.

I have just one question. If Mork and Mindy is such a classic show, who exactly is running it now?

I mean, even Star Trek and I Love Lucy ran for decades and ST:TNG is still running (on BBC America and possibly other networks) even now, 20 years after it went off the air.

Happy Days, another show that came out around then, ran in syndication for years, but I don't think M&M ever continued beyond the network run.

I'll bet there are millions of millenials - people born after it ran - who've never heard of Mork and Mindy, and never saw the show because it's one of many that either never went beyond first-run network status (no syndication), and unless they went looking for it, wouldn't even know it's on video.

This picture was not taken within the last week, so y'all will have to explain to Paul who it is:

R.I.P. San Francisco's Candlestick Park, 1960-2014.

Image

Paul McCartney was the last performer who will ever play in San Francisco's Candlestick Park. This is not the first time McCartney performed a "last event" in the park. Candlestick Park was also the same place where the Beatles held their last performance before breaking up in 1966.

The place known for noise was so quiet when the Pope held a service in the 1980s, in front of 88,000 congregants, that you could hear the hum of the lights.

The park will be torn down next year and replaced by condos and other development.

I think we should suspend posting to this thread until, you know, we, uh, find out if it's still true.
