Sad fact: Since I've had Sky, my Mum has been watching Stargate on
Wednesdays with me and had never seen it before. She had sat through three
episodes before realising that A) it wasn't Earth: Final Conflict (the one
with the guy who looks like Mandy Patinkin - Kevin Kilner, the killing off
of whom provoked an angry response from her), and B) The guy with the hair
that's going grey was Richard Dean Anderson. She sat there puzzling over who
he was, but I wasn't going to say a word. :-)

Unfortunately, when he got down there, instead of the millions of different
species of ocean life he was expecting, all he found were a few spatial
anomalies and Romulan border disputes.

This started a 4 year title reign. Hogan held on to the title until 1988
when he lost it to Andre the Giant. Andre handed the title to The Million
Dollar Man Ted DiBase but it could not be transferred that way, and the
title was vacated. Randy Savage won the vacated title, and then Hogan won it
back, holding it for another year.
Hogan's dominance of the title led to many fans considering his title match
against Yokozuna at the first King of the Ring PPV to be the greatest match
of all time. Hogan did his usual crap, the slam and then the infamous Leg
Drop, but Yoko kicked out - nobody kicked out of the leg drop. Yoko squashed
Hogan with a Banzai drop, finishing him off and that was the end of
Hulkamania. Hogan turned up on WCW TV shortly afterwards, and the Bret Hart
era began.

Makes a pleasant change to have a parent genuinely interested in the genre.
So long as they don't keep asking questions. "Why does he look like that?"
"So he's not human then, eh?" "Why don't they just beam out? Or is that the
other show?"

Yes, making the great start of featuring the Spice Girls as his first
