What I'm Watching...

Posting will be light this weekend as I have to work and also because I just got a two-disk DVD set: The Best of the Avengers. Six episodes featuring (of course) John Steed. There are two with Mrs. Cathy Gale, two with Ms. Tara King, and two with my ultra-favorite, Mrs. Emma Peel.

Even as a kid, I loved The Avengers and used to stay up every Friday (I think it was) night to watch the show. Truly one of the best imports from England!

Nice. I scored the "Emma Peel Mega Pack" about a year ago with every Emma eisode on DVD.

It's one of those shows that is actually still entertaining as an adult... you catch clever bits that you missed as a kid, when it was all about the spying and Emma.

Slightly racy jokes, like the one where Steed gets made pocket-size by a shrinking ray and Emma asks essentially if all of him has been affected, and he gives her a disapproving look.

Or when Steed goes to visit Emma while she's posing as a department store employee. And he tells her that the man on the main floor told him that Emma was "on the third floor in lady's underwear," so he took the stairs up two at a time.

Therre's also one brief 15 second scene in an episode where Emma says a line, and I swear she's tipsy. Eyes half-closed and kind slurring her speech. Maybe she had a martini at the lunch break with her standard repast of a single orange.

Great show.

Cool blog, BTW. I'll have to swing back by and check it out more fully. But right now, "we are needed." (The early tagline that opened every episode, which was apparently abandoned pretty quickly.)

Jeff:

Hey, it's National Ammo Day, and I don't think you ever mentioned that little factoid. On NAD (a name you might appreciate) one is supposed to buy a hundred rounds of one's favorite ammo.

For myself, I scored 1025 rounds of .22 LR, and an S&W 617 to shoot the stuff with.

Surely you are cognizant of www.thenationofriflemen.com, aren't you? (Damn, I hope I got that right!

Your comments are welcome. You don't need to enter a URL and you don't need a "valid" email address, either. Note though that MT Blacklist is installed to flag suspiciously spam-like strings. Unfortunately, because of the bastard spammers, the strings "google.com" and "yahoo.com" (even in your email address) are currently banned as well. So are strings such as "cialis" (a common spam) which rules out words such as "socialism". Try putting a hyphan in a word like that.
