Oye, Don Knotts was good--VERY good. Im ordering The Shakiest Gun in the West, The Reluctant Astronaut and How To Frame a Figg? as soon as I set up house in H-town.

Finished watching season 1 of Justice League, and started watching Voyagers.

Voyagers...Voyagers... *Scratches chin* Wasn't that a show about time travel? If so, I remember seeing a episode a real long time ago that used deleted footage from the 1980 suckfest known as "Raise the Titanic!"

In browsing my local video store, I came across a copy of The Guns of Navarone. I saw it years ago, but it was cheap. I got a good chuckle out of the German truck with the "Dodge" sign on the back.

Guns for Malta. I liked this one!

Amazon.co.uk: Guns For Malta - The Emotive Story Of The Greatest Siege Of WWII: Video

The World at war Pt 2 incl "Japan" and "War in the pacific 1942-45"

Especially the colour footage of battle areas and dead people everywhere stunned.

Just saw a documentary about Operation Thunderbolt on Situation Critical last night.
The other week, it was the SAS rescue of British soldiers who were captured by insurgents somewhere in Africa.
I've also seen the old series Voyagers and the one episode that I can recall quite vividly is the show they had when they featured Douglas Macarthur. It was so historically inaccurate that I couldn't help but remember that episode. Macarthur was not in Pearl Harbor when the attack occurred. He was sleeping in his penthouse inside the Manila Hotel.

Hi Phantom, sorry I didn't see this to reply to before now.

Yep, Voyagers was a too-short-lived TV series that had an adult (Phenious Bogg) played by now deceased actor: Jon-Eric Hexum and a Teenaged Boy Named: Jeffrey Jones) who went through time correcting mistakes made so that history did not change.
