Star Trek: The Next Generation: Relics (1992)
Scotty and my first car
I appreciate and love the comments that Sotty made about "On the first Enterprise, I could tell How fast we were going by the feel of the deck-plates." My first car was a 64 Ford Fairlane with a broken speedometer, and you guessed it, I could feel the speed I was going by the vibrations of the car. This is something most young guys with their first cars can relate to. I do not know who wrote that line, but this a line that will reverberate in the memory of almost all guys.
When Scotty enters the original Enterprise, I could not help but remember entering my first car. I can remember all of the interior, the cracked seats, the torn carpet, and the only thing that worked right, the radio. I would gladly sit in that car again with a shot of Whiskey and say "Here's to you Lads".
Get Smart (1965)
Opening
Get Smart has one of the best opening sequences in TV. How can you not giggle at the security measures to get to a phone booth. Unfortunately, in today's climate, this just might be the case.
I also love the ineptitude of CONTROL's best agent. almost reminds me of our current administration. We were this close to WMD's. Would you believe a couple of grenades. Would you believe a couple of wet firecrackers. The cone of silence is a great metaphor for our presidents conversations with reality.
Don Adams, not only was a great TV actor, I happened to see his show. He was funny, and I would compare him to Buddy Hackett, as someone who can be quite blue with material. He will be missed.
