If you can find Franklin's show on PBS, it is a pretty interesting look at the techniques (and enough to discourage me from ever trying the same thing at home due to the equipment/time commitments).

My list of ten folks who are now very likely to live through 2018 has been sent.

As a kid I remember watching more or less nothing except Battlestar Galactica, Bonanza, and Buck Rogers.

I thought Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers were the same thing.

Re-runs of Sci Fi shows always played well with young audiences, which is why they managed to make 3 seasons of Star Trek play continuously for 20 years

There were only 3 seasons of Star Trek?

Yep, only 66 episodes of the original series were made, only like...15 of which were any good. There was a cartoon for two seasons that was also mostly terrible. But re-runs were played so often (and there was really nothing else like it on TV at the time) that it formed a dedicated fan base anyway.

The best thing I've seen with the cartoons is the Starcher Trek re-dubs.

Thanks for the Starcher Trek tip.  Never knew about their existence, but happy to see them now.

This was my list sent in for 2017:

1.  Kirk Douglas
2.  George H Bush
3.  Queen Elizabeth
4.  Doris Day
5.  Mel Brooks
6.  Jerry Lee Lewis
7.  Dick Van Dyke
8.  Bob Newhart
9.  Bob Dole
10.  Mary Tyler Moore

Watching the parade has started the feels up all over again.  Just seeing those buses with the '2016 World Champion Chicago Cubs' lettering on the side hit home.

I got 2 1/2 hours of sleep and cried in the car 4 times on the way to work. How's everybody else doing

I think it all started to hit me on the way in to the office this morning.  I reserve the right to erupt again at any moment. (Tears, dancing, who knows?  I'm in uncharted waters here.)

I'm so, so happy for Stew.

On a personal note, since Cullen started it: I didn't think just getting to the World Series would have such an impact on me but it's been a fairly shitty year. For those who don't know I'm a party of one again. I'm obviously not the only one to go through this but needless to say it's been an interesting few months adjusting to living alone again.

Luckily, I have many great friends and people I've been able to re-establish connections with and this playoff run has been an incredibly well timed distraction from everything else.

When someone had two tickets up for sale for game six, I immediately asked how much. They were in a price range that made sense to me. My close friend and an equally die hard Cubs fan said he was in. All the Cubs had to do was beat LA in game five and I had the chance to be in the building for a pennant clincher.

Sure enough the Cubs played their best game of the season. And as we counted it all down and blew past all the cursed moments in center field with a bunch of strangers it started to sink in. All the people who were born and died and never saw this. All the great players we've watched and bonded with each other over who never got to experience this.

When Baez threw that ball to Rizzo and he leapt in the air I screamed. When they started piling on each other on the mound I wept. Literal choking sobs. I'm still feeling it today.

It's a stupid game but that big red C with the little u-b-s inside of it on that blue pinstripe jersey has been with all of us since we were tiny, idiot children. The weight of history is very real.

Yes, they need to win 4 games and I am very confident that they will. But these players have given us all something that no one can ever take away from us. We were there. We saw this happen.

Wherever you were last night we were all together. We've got some more memories to make.

Damn, I love this.

Not only that, if memory serves, Bloody Cyborg Andre chased Show into his own dugout, and I'm pretty sure Show retreated all the way down the tunnel to the clubhouse. I mean, fog of war and all, I might be embellishing that a bit for all I know, and I can't find anything on Youtube. But the way I remember it, Andre went Full Hulk, Show knew it immediately, and to this day I don't know if I've ever seen a display of abject fear like Show in that moment. And I don't blame him. Andre might very well have legit murdered him.

Go to 12:30.

Conveniently cued up

Agreed... the umpire that shooed Show into the dugout might have saved his life.
