I've never heard of that show. This one is (presumably) better known. The original title for this series was "Please Stand By," but because the Cuban Missile Crisis had happened less than a year earlier, executives thought it might make people fearful of an air raid. As a reference to this, when this show would cut to a commercial, the Control Voice said, "Please stand by." When the series finale, The Probe (1965), was originally aired, a live announcer spoke over the Control Voice's closing statement about returning "next week at this same time." The live announcer stated that The King Family Show would be seen "next week in this time period." The regular Control Voice closing for The Probe (1965) was heard only in re-runs. Gene Roddenberry was a big fan of the series, being a regular visitor to the set. He would use many of the crew, cast, costumes, and props on Star Trek. Vic Perrin (The Control Voice) once stated that almost all of his opening and closing narrations were recorded in one or at most two studio sessions. He had no idea what the episodes were about but often joked that he had the "God-given" ability to sound authoritative on things that he knew nothing about. This series provides an example of a television network deliberately killing a popular series by moving it to an inappropriate slot on their schedule. This series was a big hit, especially among younger viewers. For the second season, ABC moved it from Monday nights to 7:30 p.m. Saturday. It was not only an inappropriate timeslot for younger viewers but served as the lead-in for The Lawrence Welk Show and was scheduled opposite the highly popular Jackie Gleason: American Scene Magazine on CBS. The series was pulled halfway into the second season due to the resulting low ratings. (A reboot of the show, in 1995, actually lasted quite a bit longer (7 years).) George

That's it. George

I think it's a question of faith like anything else biblical. Raf, I'm still completely hooked on SIT and I love it. I go religiously to Roman Catholic Mass, the traditional one that's only in Latin. (and the trads do not believe in SIT as regular prayer.) But I'm there in the front row with SIT anyway. I believe it's profitable -- I've heard it said that some catholic theologians and those in the Novus Ordo Vatican 2 charismatic movement find value in SIT for personal prayer and devotion, and as a way to express feelings to God when words fail. I've persoally seen them hold services where they SIT out of order i.e. with no interpretor--- Paul is clear that it's only for quiet personal use unless interpreted and I would like to see them do it correctly if it's out there.

Thank you Steve... it may also be enjoyable listening! downloaded on Audible and will listen to Hayes Dunlap. LOL

I saw a game show where the host complained. Part of the game show involves the host in play. He complained that the original host never had to do it. He asked what other show had this. I laughed and shouted at the TV, because this was actually the second show I was aware of where that happened..... and this host should remember it personally, since he was on THAT show also, even if he wasn't the host in question! Please name EITHER show. (Or both for bragging rights.)

"Whenever we kiss, I get to feeling like this. I get to wishing that there was two of you. My heart cries out, "More, baby!" It feels so nice, I want your arms to wrap around me twice." "When you had to go, I hated the thought. I always wish the night was twice as long." I can't post the title, so I'm running out of lyrics.

If you're confusing this movie for the remake, you might get stuck, and I'd understand that.

Furthest Frontiers?

The Waltons.

*punches Human in the lower lip* Hang on, I'll post more. I didn't think it would take this long.

No. But you have probably seen it. It's possible you read the book.

Surprised that one took so long.

If I haven't seen it, I MUST have heard of it. Robin and Marian? George

Yeah remember those too. Even got to listen to him berate a group of people that I knew was me because of being told I was going to be dropped but had to wait for it to be finalized while I pretended nothing was wrong. So thankful that getting dropped is what led to FREEDOM and a real relationship with God.

No idea.

That's one helluva cast.

Thanks. Sounds like an interesting read.

Yes. George

Just to let my old friends know, I have written a book about an experience I had in the Vietnam War more than fifty years ago, before I was caught up in the Way. I'll post the link to Amazon and post more about it later. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CV8STWJ1/?bestFormat=true&k=the great goodbye&ref_=nb_sb_ss_w_scx-ent-pd-bk-d_k1_1_17_de&crid=28WK129VTF6FS&sprefix=The Great Goodbye There's more I'll post. It may be enjoyable reading. God Bless All Greasepotters... Steve Spencer

Aquaman?

One would think that that's enough, but I still need more... George

"I just learned something very interesting." "'Pinocchio.' You risked our lives based on something you read in a children's book?" "Wait, it's a book? How about that? I got it from a movie." "I will return to you when it's safe. One day, right here, at sunrise, we'll be together again." "Nothing." "Of course it's not working. It's been sitting here gathering dust since before the Sahara was a desert!" "Before the Sahara was a desert... You do your best thinking when you're not thinking at all. Hold still. We need water. You're the closest source." "Show-off. I could've just peed on it." "My obligation isn't to love; it's to my family and my nation, and I've turned my back on both. Sometimes we have to do what's right, even if our heart aches against it." George
