I can't fault anybody for liking them but they just weren't for me. Just too sad in certain places and that sadness ruined the whole thing for me.

I've just read the sad news that Roger E. Mosley, best known for playing Theodore "T.C." Calvin in 'Magnum P.I.', has died following a car crash in Los Angeles last week. He was 83. T.C. was Thomas Magnum's helicopter flying buddy from their time in Vietnam. From the article I read, Gerald McRaney was previously considered for the part of T.C. He was also once considered for the part of Luke Duke, but his only appearance in Dukes was as a workman in 'Hazzard Connection'. McRaney finally went on to take lead roles in 'Simon & Simon' and 'Major Dad'.

Today I got to spend my first day this year at the seaside. We found a quiet beach about an hour away and had blue skies all day. I even got into the sea three times!

Branch manager!

I've got no problem hearing about two-wheel action. Maybe you'll convert me as I get older!

I like the Reunion shows cuz it reunited the survivors.

Mainland Europe has had it a hotter than here. Portugal, Spain and France reported temperatures of around 46°C (115°F) and have had forest fires like California. The UK recorded a new high of 40.3°C (104.5F). Ireland just missed out on a new record with 33.1°C (91.6°F) (the record of 33.3°C (91.9°F) was set in 1887). I've read that several US cities are reporting temperatures in these ranges. It's quite close and clammy here now, but the temperature highs are only in the mid-20s C (high-70s F). Meanwhile, I see that the death toll in the Kentucky floods is up to 37.

Yeah, but seein' the rice burner get blow torched by the Asian dudes on their motorcycles.....that was a nice scene. BAHAHAHAHA!!!

I'm noticing a trend here. Yeah, I boycotted Fast and Furious when I saw that scene in the trailer. Shoulda smashed up the other junk.

There was a black Charger in "The Fast and the Furious" movie, which didn't appear until towards the end...only to be smashed pretty bad. (Broke my heart to see it, too.) Another fine black Charger is in the old movie "Bullit". The movie itself isn't that hot, but it's worth renting for the chase scene. I tend to fast forward to the chase and skip the rest of the flick. If I recall correctly, the Charger ends up being incinerated by crashing into some gas pumps. And there was also a black Charger in the original "Cannonball" movie. (which had no affiliation with the later "Cannonball Run." ) This Charger also suffers ill fortune, by careening over the edge of an incomplete freeway. Ya know, upon reflection....it's a damn good thing the Dukes painted the General orange, given the track record for black Chargers. Brian

They're ok...but it didn't have the same pinache....punch as the original series! I don't even rewatch them!
