Also, this was a time that variety shows were starting to wane from their height in the '60's and this was roughly 6 years after "The Ed Sullivan Show" left the air waves. And yes, as a kid, I was forced to watch it because my parents loved the show. And to think, the following year we got the original "Battlestar Galactica" on ABC with Lorne Greene (Pa Cartwright from "Bonanza") as Adama which, as cheesy as it was, was better than this. Then season 2 struck and ruined it.

Being that 11/17/78 was probably a Friday night when it aired, I didn't get to be tortured the first time around because I was at our High School football game (being in the band has its advantages at times). To age myself even further, I was a Sophomore in 1978, so watching it probably wasn't too high on the list anyway. Oh, and to the purple and the Prince reference, there was someone else at the time who loved purple. I had to hear about it because my youngest sister had a crush on him and read about it in either Tiger Beat or one of the other rags that catered to teen girls at the time. And at the same time, he and his sister had a variety show on ABC. His name is Donny Osmond. Yes, those Osmonds from Utah, the other family competition in the '70's to the Jacksons.

Our victim/protagonist is exposed to Plutonium in an atomic blast while running to get people out of ground zero. As an effect of being exposed and surviving the blast he grows to 70ft. tall then goes crazy. After terrorizing Las Vegas, he is supposedly killed at Hoover Dam. In the sequel, there are reports that something is raiding trucks in Mexico. We find out he survived the fight at the dam and is electrocuted in front of a busload of schoolkids. The Blob. Steve McQueen leads a bunch of townspeople against an alien blob that crashes to Earth and starts munching on anything in its path. Tarantula. Genetic scientist is doing research and his 22 day old mutated tarantula, about the size of a large house, escapes and creates havoc in the desert. The '60's and '70's: The Andromeda Strain. Biological Warfare Research gone bad. Kingdom of the Spiders. Spiders take over a small town and start attacking the townspeople. And I can't believe this wasn't mentioned in the show since The Shat starred in this movie when the rug on his head was actually good. Empire of the Ants. Giant ants enslaving humanity. With this much cheese, what's not to like??? Soylent Green. Charleton Heston plays a worker in one of the plants that makes this stuff and finds out its people. This was also the last picture for Edward G. Robinson who played his father. Death Race 2000. In a post-apocalyptic world, a cross country race where points are scored depending on the age and number of people you ran over to divert your attention from life. With a couple of no-name actors leading the cat at the time (David Carradine ans Sly Stallone) this had the blood, the gore allowed at the time, and nudity. What more could you want??? And since this was a Roger Corman flick, you know the cheese is there. Quite a few of these were probably on MST or would have been if they had gotten the rights.

Hope Lange played Mrs. Muir and Edward Mulhare played the Ghost. Fast forward to 1982.

Billy Mumy (Will Robinson from "Lost in Space") is also 57. Sally Field (TV's "Gidget" and "the Flying Nun" before she was drooled over by teenage boys in "Smokey and the Bandit") is 65. Donna Douglas (Elly May Clampett on "The Beverly Hillbillies") is 78. Robby the Robot ("Forbidden Planet") is 55. The Robot (Model B-9) from "Lost in Space" is 47. Our favorite first imports from Japan, as follows (age is from when first shown in Japan): Gojira aka Godzilla is 57 Rodan is 54 Mothra and Ghidorah are 47 Astro Boy is 48 Speed Racer is 46 And for our cartoons "The Flintstones" are fast approaching 50, Bugs Bunny is 77, Yogi Bear is 46, and Scooby-Doo is 42.

Batman, the TV series, turns 45. You would think that Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox Television (who produced the show) would have ended their petty squabbles and release this by now but I guess neither side needs the money that selling this on DVD or as a download through iTunes, Zune, Amazon, VUDU (Wal-Mart) would rake in. The Green Hornet TV show I believe also turns 45 this year. This has been digitally restored and aired on TV. If they put it out for sale it might also help push coaster sales for the Seth Rogen movie. About the only notable star was some martial arts guy who played Kato by the name of Bruce Lee. And in a twist of irony, the theme song was "Flight of the Bumblebee" played by Jazz trumpeter Al Hirt.

Also have been watching all of the Doctor Who stories that included the Brigadier in honor of the passing recently of Nicholas Courtney, the sctor who played Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, at the age of 81 and am trying to catch up on the Sarah Jane Adventures that had him on as well.

Cost looks to be 7 to 10 pounds (about $15-$20) each. It came out in 2009 but there might still be fans who have not heard of it yet that are fans of the Fourth Doctor and would like to have it for their Library or on their favorite listening device.

Just thought that I would mention to those Whovians that are fans of the Classic series and may not be aware of it that BBC Audio did a six part story line called "The Hornets Nest" which is a full cast Audio Drama starring, for the first time since he left the role, Tom Baker as the Doctor. I know that some people are not fans of audio programming (i.e. Old Time Radio) but for those who are and are Tom Baker fans then this might be something they'll be interested in. You should be able to search bbc.co.uk for further information and it gives people something else to listen to while waiting for the next episode of GRD sWeekly.

Also, someone mentioned an unaired episode from the Tom Baker era. The only storyline from that era that I know of that never aired on TV (including on the BBC) was "Shada" because for some reason they never finished filming it and parts of it were used in "The Five Doctors" after Tom Baker said he would come back to do it and then stiffed everybody at the last minute and for the longest time has had the attitude towards being the Doctor that Leonard Nimoy had in the '70's about being only known as Spock (and I believe that 2010 is the 35th anniversary of his book "I Am Not Spock".) Anyway, love the show and am surprised at being the only one to leave commentary on the Doctor. As a note, I put the Doctor number behind the actor's name in case any new Whovians aren't quite sure so they can go back to see the Classic stories and have a rough idea who was Who at the time.

At the end of the "The War Games" storyline, when the Time Lords basically banished the Doctor to Earth they regenerated him from Patrick Troughton (Doctor 2) to John Pertwee (Doctor 3). Since the other regenerations have occurred due to severe damage to the Doctor and this one was forced upon him, does it count? We find out during Peter Davison's (Doctor 5) run that he basically lives 13 lives because he can regenerate 12 times from his original lifetime and at the time he had 8 more left after regenerating 4 times already. I know that this has been modified since the show has returned to the air but I wonder if part of the current storyline could include problems with the Doctor being able to apparently regenerate an infinite number of times now and the effect it might have on him physically and mentally.

However, there are a couple of things about Doctor Who and every regenerations first encounter with the Daleks-it takes the Daleks a while to figure out that this guy claiming to be the Doctor really is their arch nemesis and must be "exterminated". It happened the first time I remember with Jon Pertwee (Doctor 3) and I think that it has also happened with Peter Davison (Doctor 5) and Colin Baker (Doctor 6). I can't remember if it was the same for Patrick Troughton (Doctor 2) and Sylvester McCoy (Doctor 7). As for Tom Baker (Doctor 4), I wasn't really much of a fan of his (Blasphemy I know the cry will be from a lot of the fans of Doctor 4). Also, we first saw the Black Daleks during Patrick Troughton's run as the Doctor, so the "Mighty Morphin' Power Daleks" aren't really a new idea but maybe they finally had the budget to buy some cans of Krylon paint. It also took the Cybermen a little bit to catch on as well. I would love to see the Whomobile from Jon Pertwee's time make a reappearance again to see what it can do because I think of a vehicle that looks like an early 1900's automobile driven by the Doctor has some features that would be impressive if put to use. Think of it this way, if the TARDIS has an infinite number of rooms in it for different things (how many control rooms have we seen over the years?), then what could we do with the Whomobile as seen by others? Just a thought. Hi gang, love the topic for this weeks sWeekly.

Thank you. As I was listening, I started thinking about franchises and their themes. I know that Sean Callery wrote an entire theme for <i>24</i>, but only about 30 seconds makes it into the end credits. I also thought about the <i>Stargate</i> franchise, and found it interesting that <i>SG-1</i> and <i>Atlantis</i> had opening themes, but <i>Universe</i> doesn't.
