TBH, I watched one of the shows listed so far, like Heroes, Dexter and The Walking Dead, but I can’t think of a single multi-season show I’ve watched where I felt they should have ceased after a single season.🤷🏾‍♂️

Mod Note: HEY! YO! This gun tangent is very political. Not the time or place. Shut it down.

Gavin DeGraw’s “I Don’t Want To Be” was used as the theme for One Tree Hill, and peaked at #10 in the USA in 2005. There might be some others I haven’t thought of. I count this one because it essentially broke DeGraw’s career open. In contrast, the CSI franchise’s use of The Who’s music...

Your post reviving this topic reminded me of this: AND:

You say that like they don’t.🤔

What’s the matter, Dave?

I could keep adding other themes from the late 60s through the 1970s that I love, like Get Smart, The Pink Panther, Kung Fu, Wild Wild West, I Spy, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, etc., but I wanted to point out one particular gem:

Kolchak: the Night Stalker The Rockford Files Dukes of Hazard Streets of San Francisco

Milk helps emulsify the capsaicin off the tongue pretty quickly, so it does help…in the short term. Bread works similarly, directly lifting the capsaicin off the tongue as it adheres like tape. In either case, it still could still be fun for the rest of your digestive tract, including its...

While the Dodgers name did have a particular local derivation, there’s nothing strongly associated with “Brooklyn” about the name itself. And Colts? Wherever there’s horses, there’s colts.🤷🏾‍♂️ Didn’t know that one! And while- like the Dodgers- “Twins” isn’t something uniquely Minnesotan- it...

Most of the ones I can think of don’t have names strongly rooted in unique/notable local connections. Raiders? Chargers? Colts? Dodgers? Rams? And lots of teams that moved DID change names to either fit in better or sever old associations, like the Titans, Stars, Devils (twice), Pelicans...

Yeaaaah, I get it. But sometimes, the name has an intrinsic significance that is belied if the underlying business changes too much. If Pizza Hut became an ice cream parlor with nothing to do with pizza, its core identity has changed; it sows confusion & resentment instead of customer...

You are not the first to make such a mistake; you will not be the last. Cup for TB is a bad one, though.🤦🏾‍♂️ We were doing a big cookout and there were several people working in the kitchen. EVERY cook added the correct amount of salt. That dish was inedible. I was the first to eat a new...

Wolf Blitzer is a thing. Dire Wolves were a thing. Therefore, Dire Wolf Blitzer is a thing.

Too bad Adams & The Floyd couldn’t have done some joint projects, like Moorcock did with Hawkwind and BÖC. A Momentary Lapse of Dolphins Dark Side of Magrathea

My advice in situations where you can’t find an RPG that does what you want in a way you like is to use another RPG’s systems- one you’re VERY familiar & comfortable with- and run the campaign you want.

Karen Lacy has died of suicide during a police chase. https://www.wwltv.com/article/news/local/kyren-lacy-suicide-lsu-fatal-crash-court-date-football-fatal-crash-trial-wbrz/289-bb3425af-0a3d-44e0-8de2-7e6903c8020f

It’s always amazing to see where big stars got their early major breaks. Elton John & Bernie Taupin did some studio work for The Beatles. David Bowie has a list of performers who worked for him before they were famous, like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Luther Vandross. He also hired Adrian Belew...

I’d say Sherlock Holmes and John McClane have more in common with pulp heroes than true superheroes. (I also acknowledge that some superheroes are very close to the genre’s pulp roots.)
