The Twilight Zone ...sorry for forgetting that one! This was when (the Yankees) played their worst Ah, yes...the ol' Roy White, Horace Clarke, Stan Bahnsen era!  ... and poor Mel Stottlemeyer, he would've gone to the Hall-of-Fame with any of the other Yankee teams behind him!

How could I forget! A special mention here to TNT Originals for the fine work they've been turning out over the years! Especially their historical endeavors that have always followed the laudable commitment to of paying almost-meticulous adherence to the factual! Here I list a few of the brightest works:
"The Hunley"
"Kingfish"
"Andersonville"
"David"
"Buffalo Soldiers"
"The Day Lincoln Was Shot"
"Rough Riders"
"Animal Farm" -- a superb live-action adaptation of George Orwell's classic novel! If you missed this one, find it, watch it!
" Gettysburg"
And millions and millions of thanks for the inspired production and reverential historical treatment of "Gettysburg"!
I've watched this magnificent movie on the big screen in its original theatrical release, and countless times since!
A noble tribute to the terrible tragedy that forged this country into one nation! I try to watch it every July 1-3, each day of the battle on it's appropriate day, to reflect in tribute on the sacrifices that were made on both sides of the conflict. And I still believe Jeff Daniels was robbed of the Supporting Actor Oscar he so richly deserved for his brilliant interpretation of Gen. Joshua Chamberlain, only because the Academy establishment refused to recognize Turner's "upstart" new studio...a real crime!
Coming up shortly, "Wallace", the life of George Wallace starring Gary Sinise (sp.?) and "James Dean", a biography.

Thanks for link, AnnaS! Love it! All of Boston and New England should see this one!  I appreciate your worthy word of experience on the recommended new baseball thread. But before I abandon those posts here, you should also understand that in September and, especially, October baseball IS television!...What else is there?

television (T.V.):
a primitive, non-interactive mass medium that maintained wide appeal until decent, digitally individualized forms of information broadcasting and entertainment took root.

curse of the Babe
Hence the chant, 1918. This curse supposedly ends this year, I think.

If only 90% of crap is crap, 90% of everthing can't be.
Good point, IP! Now a visit to the proper specialist might help you in that respect. Course you'll never be able to get there since you'll have to travel 90% of the distance first...

No need for specialists; after only several iterations, there's scant turd in that absurd.

Apropos of another thread: http://www.comics.com/comics/getfuzzy/archive/getfuzzy-20010529.htmlI've come to really enjoy this comic, which is new to my area. Today the cat called the main human character a "big, pink, water-loving freak." Now I know what my cat's thinking...
