Because Hughie arrived in disguise and didn't want to be recognized.

I'm hoping to see it later this week.

The only other one I've found is 'The Haunting of J.D. Hogg' from season 7. It originally aired on 4 January, 1985, which was Sorrell Booke's 55th birthday. With the exception of the first season which was a mid-season replacement, Dukes generally aired between mid-September and mid-March. Weirdly, most of the lead actors had birthdays in spring and summer. I only looked up the main actors, so it's possible that some of the guest stars' episodes aired on their birthdays.

It looked like being a shoot-out between Oscar Piastri and Lewis Hamilton for pole in tomorrow's British Grand Prix, but Lewis lost a small amount of time at the end of his final fast lap. Then, against the odds, Max Verstappen put his Red Bull on pole right at the end of the session. Red Bull have gambled on a low downforce setup giving them speed on the straights, but less grip in the bends. That might give them trouble in the race if it rains. Lewis starts in fifth at his home race, ahead of his team mate Charles Leclerc, but behind Max, Oscar, Lando Norris and George Russell. That's still three Brits in the top five. You can watch the highlights here.

I just saw a meme that says, "He who drinks a fifth on the fourth may not be able to go forth on the fifth." I hope everyone has a clear head this morning!

If you can get a deal on a box set, go for it. I'm guessing that you're in the US, so maybe someone else here can tell you the best place to look. I think another member got a good deal a Walmart recently. I checked their website, and they're doing the complete TV series (7 seasons) for under $50 and the two TV movies for under $10. I don't live in the US, so I don't know if there are better deals and better retailers to use.

Mine are fine, but I bought them in the UK/Ireland, so the pressing may be different. I also ripped all of mine to a backup drive just in case. You may as well start with season 1, although it's the shortest wirh only has 13 episodes.

I'll start you off: 'Double Sting' originally aired on 11 May, 1979, which was Denver Pyle's 59th birthday.

I enjoyed it at the start, but the quality definitely dropped off around season 8 or 9 when they announced that there would be a known number of additional seasons. It did get better again toward the end, and I think I watched every episode, but I never bother watching the re-runs even though they're shown often. I think my interest also waned when I read that the main stars were getting $1 million each per episode. Many of the later episodes had run times of under 20 minutes to fit in all the advertising, and I couldn't help remembering why as I watched. The highest paid soap stars here only earn £250k a year, so it's a bit of a culture shock. Another issue I had was that after the first few seasons, the team of writers obviously could not comprehend that people like the four male leads might spend long periods of time single. With the exception of Sheldon, the others spent quite a bit of time in relationships. Maybe they should've watched the trailer a bit more often.

I have them all on DVD, including the one with Lindsay Lohan. I only got to see one at the cinema, which I'm guessing was either 'Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo' (1977) or 'Herbie Goes Bananas' (1980). I also have a 1:18 model of Herbie.

breakfast It's not generally available, but I could probably get a box at one of the stores that sells really marked-up imported candies and sodas.

Enjoy. Do you do anything special to celebrate?

Thanks, Garrett. I hope you get time to watch the highlights videos that I link to. They're only about 8 minutes long, and probably make a lot more sense than my reviews. That's good news that Chase Elliot got a win at the weekend.

In the Austrian Grand Prix, Carlos Sainz Jnr's Williams broke down on the grid, so only 19 cars started the race. Oscar Piastri started third, but got ahead of Charles Leclerc at the first bend and spent most of the first stint right on Lando Norris' rear wing and even briefly overtook once. Canadian Grand Prix winner George Russell got past Lewis Hamilton at the start, but Hamilton retook the place be the end of the first lap. Max Verstappen was hit by Kimi Antonelli on the first lap, ending both of their races. Max's team mate, Yuki Tsunoda got a 10-second penalty later in the race for causing a collision and was the last car running at the end, so no points for Red Bull at their home track, the Red Bull Ring. It was also a bad day for Williams as their other car driven by Alex Albon had to retire from a top 10 position after 17 laps. The pit stops gave Lando a bit of breathing space at the front, but there were some good battles behind. After the second pit stops, Oscar was catching Lando, but Lando managed to hang on to the lead through the back markers and took the win for a McLaren 1-2. Oscar's lead in the drivers' championship is now down to 15 points. Ferrari finished third and fourth, and overtook Mercedes in the constructors' championship. Liam Lawson scored his best F1 finish in sixth. Liam had a bad start to the season at Red Bull and got demoted to their junior team RB (Racing Bulls). He now has two more points than Yuki Tsunoda who replaced him! Gabriel Bortoleto also had a great result scoring his first F1 points in eighth in his Sauber. You can see the race highlights here. Next week it's the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. It's the only race of the year that gets shown live here on free-to-air TV, but the weather will determine if I stay in to watch it live.

I'm not going to argue with that, but can you listen to this without thinking of Steve McQueen in a Highland Green Ford Mustang?

Great move. It such a shame that we lost both of them on the same day as the both have great legacies to celebrate.

I don't know Mannix at all. It looks like it was eventually shown in the UK in 1971, but I don't remember ever seeing it in the TV listings, and it's never had a region 2 DVD release. I mentioned 'Dirty Harry' above, but Lalo Schifrin also composed the score for another Clint Eastwood movie, 'Coogan's Bluff'. Anyone who's seen the movie will remember the club scene with Lalo's great parody of late-60's music - 'The Pigeon Toed Orange Peel'.

You're half right. Lalo Schifrin composed the theme music for season 1 of Starsky and Hutch. The more familiar 'Gotcha' theme used for season 2 was written by Tom Scott. A reworked version was also used on season 4. The video below is a cool cover by British jazz funk group the James Taylor Quartet. The season 3 theme was written by Mark Snow. All three of these composers also scored several episode, as did Alan Silvestri who wrote a lot of the music for 'CHiPs' (and many movies including 'Back to the Future').

After crashing out at the last race in Canada, Lando Norris was quickest in all three qualifying sessions today and took pole by over half a second. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc took the other front row position ahead of Oscar Piastri and Lewis Hamilton. Canadian winner George Russell will start fifth, while Max Verstappen had to abort his second run and will start seventh. The rumors this weekend say that Mercedes are talking to Max Verstappen, possibly to replace George Russell next year. Max is under contract with Red Bull until 2028, but it's believed that he has an out if certain performance targets aren't met.
