Posted: 10/14/04 at 9:42amCleo in The People's Choice was able to voice her thoughts out loud--similar to Mr. Ed.

Posted: 10/14/04 at 9:43amwell, I'm gonna be 43 in a little over a month, and I've never heard of a single show on that list. Perhaps because when I was a child I lived in Ohio - though what that would have to do with it I have no idea.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"
Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

I've only heard of Tales of the Gold Monkey.
The main character was named Jake and he was played by Stephen Collins, who played Capt. Decker in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and of course, Eric Camden on 7th Heaven.

Thanks redhot, I thought it was me being really out of the loop.
I feel much better now. (Must be the coffee is kicking in!)

Anyone remember "Captain Nice" and "Mr. Terrific" - two almost identical "nerdy super hero" shows that appeared simultaneously on different networks in the late 1960's?
William Daniels was Captain Nice - really an accountant named Carter Nash - he had "C.N." on his belt buckle - which was part of his super hero costume, so when someone asked what it stood for, he said, "uuuhhhh... Captain... Nice!" He had a girldriend named Candy Cane (obvious Lois Lane parody) played by Ann Prentiss.
I can't remembver the name of the guy who played Mr. Terrific, but Dick Gautier played his best friend. They worked at a gas station. The little nerdy guy would take a special pill which gave him super powers. After taking the pill, he would demonstrate his super strength by crushing the paper cup in his bare hand.
Both shows lasted only one season.

Jon,
I remember BOTH.
I thought they were both pretty abysmal.
One of them (I forget which) is in "100 Worst TV Shows" book.
