Hot Spell is a laff riot. I give it a 10 on the corn pone scale.

I got 2 confirmed from the sleazy NYPost that's a start for you
As for Soros you brought that scumbag up not me
2 is way shy of 34, though 32 was the % one of the nutjobs on here said would be Donny's share
of the black vote. I like to mention Soros in a facetious manner since the loony toons think he is
behind everything from 9/11 to tooth decay.

Two words--George Soros.
Is there any proof that 34 members of Antifa were arrested in the Capitol action? I mean reliable
evidence, not some wingnut rumor.

I believe the quote is ".....it's a sign of weakness." Now if I'm mistaken I'm not going to apologize.

I'm sure there are enough POS teams to choose from.
Actually there aren't that many. I like a few teams and can't stand a few teams, but the great majority
I'm neutral on.

If you ever listen to the radio version of FTB, you'll find that the kids were a lot more sarcastic, as a joke-a-minute driver. When Young took the show to TV, he deliberately steered the show away from the practice.
I've never heard the radio version, but I've read that it had more of a hard edge than the TV version.
The kids still get off some good shots in the latter, but they're on the lighter side. I think the parents
were also given a softer tone on the TV show.

Step Down to Terror (1958) Charles Drake, Coleen Miller, Josephine Hutchinson.
I recall reading many moons ago that someone had the audacity or perhaps stupidity to produce
a remake of Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt, but never thought much about it, until I happened to
come across it on YT. It's titled Step Down to Terror. While the basic plot is the same, there are a
number of changes in the details. Uncle Charlie is now Uncle John. He returns not to his sister's
house but to that of his mother and his widowed sister-in-law and her young son. Uncle John
doesn't arrive in a train trailing smoke but in a snazzy new convertible. And since his sister-in-law
isn't a blood relation there is no hint of possible incest. They actually start on a bit of a romantic
relationship which is cut short when Coleen starts to suspect Uncle John might be the serial killer
dubbed in the remake The Travelling Killer because......he likes to travel around while killing his
victims. As in the original he gives Coleen a ring with one of his victim's initials in it. Not the sharpest
tool in the serial killer shed. The family is also visited by undercover cops and what they tell Coleen
only increases her suspicions. Uncle John had a horrendous bicycle accident when he was a child
and he's never been quite the same since. He decides he should get rid of Coleen and instead of
trying to throw her out of a train he kidnaps her and takes off in his car. Speeding down the highway
they don't notice a boy on a bicycle and John swerves and crashes the car, leaving Coleen alive but
John isn't as lucky. How bicyclely ironic. Quite a lot was left out of the remake including the nosy
crime-solving neighbor played in the original by Hume Cronyn. A lot had to be left out as this movie
is thirty minutes shorter than the original. Why make it when it's hard to see how the original could
be improved upon or even equaled? Maybe it was a matter of commerce. Universal had a old property
with a plot all ready to go. Why not take a shot? Since one can't erase the original from one's mind it's
hard to evaluate this remake on its own. The original keeps cropping up. With an inherited good plot
and interesting characters it's not a total misfire, but certainly not anywhere near the original version.
Certainly a step down.

For a 1950s TV show FKB was fairly realistic, though that's a relative concept. I always got a kick
out of how Jim Anderson would come home and take off his suit jacket and put on a jacket with
patched sleeves. One cool hepcat.

Isn't that the moron religious nut case, Huckabee? (and I saw him play on T.V. and he wasn't any virtuoso).
Are you saying Carson can lay down the beat?
My post was on the opaque side. Put the emphasis on the word Vicious.

Guilty. I'm more of an early Black Sabbath fan than an Ozzy fan, but the title is irresistible.

Not true. I got out my copy of Remain in Light and it's still the same as it ever was.

He was actually a virtuoso on the bass guitar.

Yea, I figured that and didn't scroll-up to check. It is kind of a no brainer, but as you note, still fits the moment to a T!
AND it doesn't just apply to Trump but to the traitors and those that enabled them.
Indeed. Too bad they also didn't record a song titled I'm A Sucker.

I prefer Night Train, the song that is.
Black 47 has a song titled Livin' In America. Close enough.

KC will win by over 30 points
KC has a running game. Steelers' didn't.
But why are the Browns POS? They are actually a fairly well balanced team, and Baker appears to have finally grown-up (well at least enough to do what is required of him).
Being a Steelers fan all the other AFC North teams are POS, though maybe we can forget about the Bengals.
I didn't switch over until the middle of the first quarter and it was already 14-0. Big Ben has usually been bad
about throwing interceptions, though during the regular season he didn't have a big problem this year. I really
don't have a team to root for in the Super Bowl, though I may have a team to root against.

I believe that has already been posted, but anytime I see Trump and loser together I'm okay.

I had never seen it before so I thought I'd take a look. I guess a guy in a Hawaiian shirt who uses a
cigarette holder would be a little strange as a cadet in a southern military school back in the 1950s.
Yeah, he was a manipulative creep, but other than that, so what? It was the usual macho bs one
might expect from that setting. No one wanted to stray very far outside the lines. Not of much
interest to me.

Maybe that guy is a Roxy Music fan.

Number of Steelers' Super Bowl rings-6
Number of Browns' Super Bowl rings-0, not even a pinkie one.
I hope KC crushes the Brownies like the POS they are.
