Old-School TV Shows I Love: Star Trek (original series), Rat Patrol, Mission Impossible (original series).
Problem: Except Rat Patrol’s first season (filmed in Spain), I keep seeing the same actors on the same sets. In this scene, Kirk is battling a Gorn. In this scene, Sergeant Troy is setting up an ambush. In this scene, Bernie and Willie are escaping from an underground tunnel.
Solution: Stop watching endless hours of 60s-era TV shows.
Probability: Zero. I love those shows. If you don’t like it, get your own life. This one’s mine.

I love the original Star Trek as well as the original Mission Impossible. The problem as I see it, is that we are losing our creativity when it comes to current TV. Instead of coming up with new material, we have turned, instead, to reality tv with the occasional “remake” of an older series. My kids had no idea Hawaii Five O was not the original series until I told them who Jack Lord was… after he had died. Man I feel old now. At least they (my kids) know what the significance of “merely a flesh wound” is, or that the meaning of life is 42. Or my personal favorite… “are you sure?… It’s wafer-thin”. Now I have to teach my granddaughter.
