Watching Mythbusters right now.
Great Romances of the 20th Century...Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Joan Crawford.
She was delightfully frisky...Do you have any other comment to make about Ms Crawford Mr Lyles?
Just watching one of the wonderful Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes series. Doesn't get much better than that as far as I'm concerned!
Or else he was acting on instructions from the real Holmes. Jeremy Brett had a sad but interesting life. People who knew him said that he got so consumed by the role that it led to ill health and eventually his death. Toward the end of the series he is not looking very good. While I like the Rob ert Downey Jr. version, some of the action hero stuff required by today's audience puts me off. Jude Law as the not-bumbling Watson is a good choice too.Definitely well portrayed by him. A detective who was so far above the rest that even a smart man such as Watson just couldn't keep up.
Interesting how Conan Doyle was actually the physical manifestation of Watson. He looked just as Watson is described but had the deductive reasoning of Holmes together in one person. He actually saved the life of one person wrongly accused of a crime by using said methods.

Doyle may have been able to think like Holmes in print, but in real life he was an uncritical believer in all kinds of mystical nonesense. It cost him his friendship with Harry Houdini.
The family and I were able to catch an episode of Hee Haw. I use to watch that show all the time when I was a kid. Brought back a lot of memories, and the kids were laughing just like I use to.
