The most interesting thing is The Postman from Waterworld telling Clark
that he should let people die rather than reveal his secret. Why is his
secret that valuable?

freak out. It would be counterproductive if Clark saves a few kids, and
in the process the world turns on him, turning him into a supervillain
as he fights backs.

scene is that Clark wants to help people, no matter what the

I really disagree that the trailer is "really underwhelming." Already
I can see that they've got a Superman who looks like Superman, and
there's lots of stuff blowing up and breaking apart. I'm not sure
they've got a Lois who looks like a Lois, though; I was kinda hoping
they'd darken Amy Adams' hair, as they did for Julie & Julia ... but
that really doesn't matter, of course. After all, Noel Neill played
Lois as a redhead.

mope almost succeeds in killing him well before the end of the movie or
TV episode or whatever, no matter what Superman's power levels are.

superspeed so most of the time he can save people without having them
know they are being saved. It's a bit hard to hide the fact that
you've just picked up a bus though. I guess we'll have to see the
movie to see how that situation is dealt with. ;)

friendship/relationship again. It would be worse that just being rich or
being famous and having everyone jealous and hateful of you for it...or
clinging to your side in the hopes of getting part of the pie simply for
being part of the posse. many celebrities are destroyed by this treatment
from the public and Superman would get it times 1,.000. On top of all that,
there would be litterally millions of people making personal requests for
his time on a daily basis. My dog got lost in the woods, could you please
go find it...my mom has inoperable cancer, could you please use your laser
vision to cut it out safely...my girlfriend died in a car accident
yesterday, could you please make the planet spin backwards, reverse time,
and save her...etc...etc... How would he ever find time to do anything
other than work miracles...and no matter how many he did there would always
be millions more that he failed to do and was blamed for as a result.

If you were really early with a tv set, you may hve had a rooftop antenna
because there was no tv station in town. Then later when the local
stations were fairlyc oommon, rabbit ears were fine, unless you wanted
those distant stations. Then cable grew and both went away.

Shows like that could easily go back and forth between rabbit ears and
rooftop antennas -- if they have a storyline that requires one or the
other, that's what they have that day. Most viewers don't nitpick
details like these, and this was the days before the Internet, so the
was no way to publicize continuity errors.

Shows like that could easily go back and forth between rabbit ears and
rooftop antennas -- if they have a storyline that requires one or the
other, that's what they have that day. Most viewers don't nitpick
details like these, and this was the days before the Internet, so the
was no way to publicize continuity errors.

Oops.
suzeeq confused me with the followup about Connecticut, which was
definitely I Love Lucy. I haven't seen The Lucy Show in decades, although
I do remember it in second run syndication as a kid. I guess I'm old
enough to have seen it in first run, but I don't recall that.
It's not been as popular to run in second run as I Love Lucy.

figured it was an apartment building because 1) it was in Manhattan, and
2) I think you could see a skyline out the window so it was not at
ground level. Who knows, maybe it was a duplex in Queens or the Bronx
(shrug). But I'm pretty sure their front door was an interior door, not
leading directly outside. Will have to catch a couple on METV sometime
to see the details.

They couldn't do the antenna bit, which probably was a familiar thing to
viewers at the time, unless they had a need. So wherever they lived, they
suddenly had the need, in order to do the bit.

I keep telling myself to get rid of cable and hook

cost of paying for 52 channels of shit but the few

changes. Gale Gordon was in both series but Vivian Vance wasn't a regular
in Here's Lucy. Was that the California relocation you're talking about?
All I remember about The Lucy Show is that the scripts weren't
all that funny but Gale Gordon gave it his all and was absolutely
hysterical. However, Lucy often had celebrity guest appearances, and
those episodes could be quite funny. Don't recall Here's Lucy at all.
For those who don't know, Gale Gordon was a comic character actor who had
perfected the slow burn in the Edgar Kennedy tradition. He was long
associated with Fibber McGee & Molly and spinoff The Great Gildersleeve
on radio. On McGee, he was the "victim" of McGee's awful tongue twisters,
truly funny stuff.
Ah. Refreshing my memory by looking at Wikipedia, Lucy wanted to hire
Gale Gordon to play Fred Mertz on I Love Lucy, but he was committed to Our
Miss Brooks, on which he played Osgood Conklin the pricipal on both radio
and television. The much older William Frawley got the part, of course,
best part he ever had, for his career was otherwise unimportant. Gale Gordon
still wasn't available for the first season of The Lucy Show, so Charles
Lane played her boss.
The move to California had to do with Lucy and Desi selling Desilu to
Paramount, the ex-RKO Studio they owned. This now meant Paramount owned
The Lucy Show, so she created Here's Lucy so she could produce it.
Ah. Lucy played a different character, too. I'm right: Vivian Vance wasn't
a regular, but she did play a recurring character. Lucie Arnaz and Desi Jr.
(her real life daughter and son) were on the show, too.
Here's Lucy really isn't a spinoff, then, and The Lucy Show simply ended
due to the sale of the studio.
