Here's how I see it--even if NBC had casual interest [which wasn't reported anywhere at the time, as Bob Furmanek has noted], the problem is this--it takes two to tango. Dozier clearly had NO interest in continuing the show--it was more profitable to him dead, so to speak, than alive. He had had eno...

The Bookworm episodes were on MeTV tonight. While I wouldn't expect scientific accuracy on the show a couple of things struck me. In part 1 Batman has Robin hit the bookmobile with 12000 decibels. That should have destroyed the bookmobile an everyone i nit. And maybe caused damage to the surroundin...

You say yourself it's sad. I guess I'm a fuddy-duddy because I don't think attempted murder is a joke. Whatever.

That's not funny. A man was seriously injured.

I agree that Zelda is a part better suited to Anne Baxter but she could also have been a more believably stylish Black Widow than Bankhead was. To me, the character of Olga is just a distraction on all levels keeping Egghead from having a strong return appearance and is also too much a broad carica...

QQ, you make a good, well-stated case, but I must admit it was too far over the top for me. Plus, my mother is of Russian/Ukrainian descent, and I found Olga to be a bit offensive, to be quite honest, especially her zombie-like Cossacks, who creeped me out.

Sorry. To each his own, I guess.

If the first document is legit, and it certainly appears to be, it's fascinating that Julie was scheduled to be paid $10,000. She probably deserved more, but consider Meriwether was paid only $5,500 for stepping in at the last minute.

We're actually looking at this seriously? I need a Motrin. :? John I don't see what's out of line about having a discussion on this point in the same way Trekkies have spent decades having discussions about the principles of a scientific absurdity, faster-than-light speed (without which, you have n...

Along with the Man From Atlantis.

This is somewhat of a tangent but regarding the note, I think you once said the phone lines of the 1960s weren't equipped to handle such a sound as well as today's phone lines, and that your theory was that Siren's hypnotic note probably shouldn't have worked over the phone in 1967. Correct? You ar...

This is all very interesting to me. I never knew what note that tone was.

I can't argue with you as I know nothing about music. She could have sung a low B for all I know.

Thanks for sharing. Leonard Nimoy most certainly will be missed.

Sad news. Definitely was an interesting person. In addition to his dozens of acting credits, he wrote the screenplay for a 1970 'anti-hero' Western called Five Savage Men and also titled sometimes as The Animals . I'll admit the (very violent) movie wasn't my cup of tea, but it certainly showed he h...

Would go with Siren, King Tut, Bookworm and Minstrel as my second four. I think Siren and Tut would have fun commenting on each other's clothing style and I believe Minstrel was very underrated.

Bottom four: Olga, Ffogg, Chandell, Archer.
