  1. Season 4 Dukes in Danger. Hammer:"It's them plowboys! How'd they fix their tire that fast?" Leeman:"I don't know! But we better start puttin' some holes in 'em!"
  2. It would be nice to join you for a drink Hobie. 🍻
  3. Frightening Lightnings Christine mystery alert! πŸ€” Why did Johnny Lightning release Christine without the iconic white stripe on the sides? πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ The 1:64 scale model is a great representation, but it's missing that crucial detail. I know Ertl and Matchbox didn't shy away from adding details to their General Lee cars, so why not Christine? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Did they have a reason for omitting the white trim, or was it an oversight? Share your thoughts, fellow die-cast enthusiasts! #FrighteningLightnings #Christine #JohnnyLightning #DieCast #CarModel #StephenKing #JohnCarpenter
  4. Mind blown! 🀯 I just rewatched the Baywatch episode "Sit Right Back And You'll Hear a Tale" and I'm still questioning reality! πŸ€” Eddie gets hit on the head by coconuts and dreams about Gilligan and Mary Ann... but then he's left holding Mary Ann's red hair ribbon... which vanishes into thin air! 😱 Dream or reality? The vanishing hair ribbon is the ultimate plot twist, leaving the audience wondering what's real and what's just a coconut-induced haze! 🀯 What do you think, fellow TV trivia buffs? #GilligansIsland #Baywatch #TVTrivia #MindBlown

  6. Wow yeah! 😲
  7. bo-go-vroom... You just reminded me of something. Alan Hale Jr. (Skipper Jonas Grumby) from Gilligan's Island (1964-1967) born 1921 died 1990, is nickname for his wife Naomi Hale was Trinket. πŸ˜€ Good luck on your job hunt, I hope you can land yourself something.
  8. Don't listen to those who say "Dukes is boring." They don't understand it like we do.
  9. I will post the playlist of the Reunion movies here, soon as TV Stunter channel on YouTube starts uploading them there.
  10. Wow! 😲
  11. Wow! That's a long time ago.
  12. Oh no! πŸ˜’πŸ˜­πŸ’”
  13. Which one did Bella Legosee play Dracula in? Fred Sanford mentions him in Sanford and Son. The episode when he's sick from eating 8 day old Collard Greens. Lamont gets the news from the doctor, and he starts smiling at Fred, and Fred says "What's a matter with you? Why you smilin' at me, like Bella Legosee or somebody?" πŸ˜‚
  14. I'm sad that some Christine (1983) locations have changed over the years. πŸ˜’πŸ˜­πŸ’” The house played Roland D. LeBay's old tract house where his brother George LeBay sells the late Roland's car Christine to Arnie Cunningham, the house is gone now. The overpass where Christine chases Malcolm Danare (Peter Moochie Welch) to kill him, the area has changed also. The bridge Christine hid under waiting for him is gone now. Some are still standing. Like the school used as Rock Bridge High School. I heard that was a real school. I'm not sure of its real name. Changed to Rock Bridge High School for the movie high school scenes.
  15. Christine Trivia: The book John Stockwell (Dennis Guilder) grabs off the library shelf during study hall is actually a hardback copy of the film's source material Stephen King's Christine.
  16. You know the haunted possessed 1958 Plymouth Fury Christine, she will heal you fast. πŸ˜‚
  17. Season 2 Andy on trial Barney:β€œYou asked me if Andy runs a taut ship, Mr. Milton. Well, no he don't. But that's because of something that he's been tryin’ to teach me ever since I started workin’ for him. And that is, when you're a law man and you're dealing with people, you do a whole lot better if you go, not so much by the book, but by the heart.”
  18. I wish we get a Christine movie. Christine: The Roland D. LeBay Years, or Christine: The Beginning Put everything in it that happens before Arnie Cunningham owned the car. From the time it was built in Detroit up to Roland D. LeBay's death. Everything Roland and his family went thru with that car. Since I know the most about the subject, it would need me as the script writer.
  19. Yep those are animals. πŸ˜€
  20. Alan Hale Jr. (Skipper Jonas Grumby) always had 14-16 chain links in the original Gilligan's Island series 3 seasons 98 episodes 1964-1967, and the last 2 Reunion movies The Castaways On Gilligan's Island (1979, and The Harlem Globetrotters On Gilligan's Island (1981). First movie Rescue From Gilligan's Island (1978) was just regular lines for loops and ropes on the Midway Cap Co. hat. Lancaster Uniform Cap Co. of the original series and last 2 movies was Gold Bullion Wire hand embroidery. The first movie was machine made sewn on patch regular threads. No chains style. His chain link hats never surpassed 16 in count. Some use 20 which is way too many for Alan Hale Jr. and that show. Those ones who use 20 chains is because they do 4 in the loops and 6 in the ropes. American Patrol Cap & Canvas Co. (AP Co./A. P. Co./American Patrol Co. Which made hats using Lancaster templates) Used 20. Lighthouse Uniforms uses 20. Lancaster Brand varied but not that much. 14-16. Benford Yacht Hat varies with 14-16. Alan had 14 sometimes 16. Never past 16.
  21. Aunt Esther:"Who you callin' ugly sucker?" πŸ˜‚ Fred:"I'm callin' you ugly. I could stick yo face in some dough and make gorilla cookies!" πŸ˜‚
