Terms Which Have Disappeared
Another traditional phrase used on television which seems to have disappeared; "It's 11pm, do you know where your children are?" Guess kids can stay out as late as they want now or parents just stopped caring about it. Was that just a local channel thing (Mid Michigan) or did the majority of...- skydog757

Terms Which Have Disappeared
Yes, but it was my grandparents who used the term. I also remember having to "warm up the tv" before a show that you wanted to watch as tubes had to run a while to function properly. And don't get me started on fixing the horizontal hold . . .- skydog757

Overly appreciated movies?
I thought that The China Syndrome got a big bounce just from the timing of it's release (it came out about a week before the Three Mile Island incident). While the acting was very good (Jack Lemmon and Jane Fonda) you could see where the movie was going very early on and, like many films with...- skydog757

Capone: I grew up in a tough neighborhood, and we used to say that you can get further with a kind word and a gun than you can with just a kind word. Malone: You wanna get Capone?

Overly appreciated movies?
The Horror genre has way too many films deemed "classic". There is a very devoted and knowledgeable fan base of this type of film, but as a more mainstream viewer many of their charms are lost on me. For instance, The Blair Witch Project was an excellent concept (hyped as "discovered" footage)...- skydog757
