Love the whole show.👍

 

Especially the part where they talk about the actors and other crew and the other movies they have been in.

I can just imagine the jokes the Svengoolie team makes that aren't allowed to be aired (or is that cables now). Makes me want to help.

 

I watched Rebel Without A Cause a couple of nights ago. I told my wife that today Hollywood would have blown up most of southern California when those cars went over the cliff.

Late night's "Monolith Monsters" had a nice two-tone 1956 DeSoto FireFlite convertible and four door 1956 Plymouth police car, but a '55 Ford F-100 panel truck emergency vehicle.  Universal-International Pictures made a lot of those terrible old monster movies that were the second feature run at the drive-in theaters.   None of the actors were well-known then, many just getting a start in the business.  The cars are the best part of the movies.  Otherwise, its cardboard characters, one dimensional acting, stock plots and hilarious 'special' affects.

Tonight is Colombo with his wacky police detective ways and early 1970s cars.

 

The original plan was a detective show called O'Brien but he solved the crime in 15 minutes. Colombo took 2 hours. That worked out better for them.

This is so true. Nowadays a parking lot fender bender filmed in Hollywood would  have set the whole parking lot on fire.....🤣

Svengoolie has been a Chicago area institution for decades, now he's nationwide. He does get pretty silly but I do enjoy his snarky sense of humor, and also how he points out the connections between the actors and what other movies they were in, as someone mentioned. I guess he's he's not for everyone; for example my mother-in-law loves him, and my father-in-law doesn't get him. Good thing they have two televisions.

 

The '56 DeSoto was pretty sweet, too, and had a fair amount of airtime.
