Yes, Commando Cody is Republic and Flash Gordon is Universal. But in the 2 hour time slot that Sven has, he wouldn't be able to show an entire serial. Serials have 12, 13, or 15 chapters. The run times of serials varies, the shortest ones run a little under 3 hours and the longest ones run about 5 hours.

No. And plus, they have sound effects added on Sven. Loads of em. Its usually if he has an extremely short movie (maybe 61,65 minutes) and usually older Sven shows . He's shown The Blob before, also, but on the local Chicago WCIU not Me-TV.

LOL, I don't know, could be. If you feel constipated and haven't pooped for a while, try taking a laxative.

Some of those Columbia serials are interesting. One of my favorites is Chick Carter Detective. It's not a popular serial because it doesn't have a lot of action, but it tells a good story. The plot centers around a jewel robbery that takes place in a night club. The serial has that classic 1940's night club atmosphere and occasionally a musical number is performed, something different for a serial.

There are other interesting Columbia's too, like The Phantom, The Desert Hawk, Jungle Raiders, Adventures Of Sir Galahad, many others.

Life sucks and then your parents die.

Right now I have 2 different rehab places to choose from for her after she leaves the hospital.

I am probably going with the one with the larger room so it will be easier for me to sleep overnight as much as possible.

BTW, I know you hate daytime TV but the love of your life will be on The Talk in a few minutes.

Will she pay tribute to her TV grandmother? I sure hope so. She was lucky to have the privilege of working with her.

Sorry you're having to go through this I hope you find a place you're both happy with.
A friend of mine recently lost his father after years of Alzheimer's, my friend (and his sisters) had to put their father in a special hospice for Alzheimer patients, then just a few months later he passed.

That is sad!! But hopefully it won't have to come to all this for Anna and her Mom just yet!!! Praying that she gets better and has more time, healthy happy time!!

Oh for corn sake or for Pete's sake Retro Lee!! How did my sweet little goofy, silly pregnancy fantasy with Michael turn into a poop and constipation scenario ? I know, I was the one who brought up gas!

Anyway , back to my sweet little fantasy, if we have a boy he'd be Michael Jr. And a girl? Well when I was expecting for real with my Sons, the names I liked back than had they been girls , were Amanda, Samantha and Tiffany ! And now I also like Hannah , Abigail (Abby) and Chloe !! Hopefully , maybe I will have a Granddaughter soon, and if one of these names were picked it would be very cool !!!

If you ever have a grandson, his first name should be Michael and the middle name Max. Michael Max. How about that?

I'd post the Nancy Dittmeyer photo, but it's only on my tablet.

No , smarty pants it was "Volare' "!!!!

Volare, oh oh
E cantare, oh oh oh oh
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
Penso che un sogno così non ritorni mai più
Mi dipingi con le mani e la faccia di blu
Poi d'improvviso venivo dal vento rapito
E incominciavo a volare nel cielo infinito


Just kidding!!!!
