Washington Post Dallas listing

[bmasters9]

Here, again, is the Washington Post TV guide for the week of 1/20/85, and here is the Dallas listing in that guide, for the eighth-season episode "Bail Out" on Jan. 25; attached are the Post's TV guide description, and the Friday grid listing, and the Wikipedia entry.

I'd probably watch Dallas that night but if G. Gordon Liddy was on Miami Vice as the drug supplier I'd be flipping back and forth or using my VHS to tape one or the other. :dance1:The decisions one has to make with only three networks.

The ones I have yet to get from there are Dynasty and Falcon Crest, and this one would also fit the grid portion of the latter.

Southfork had a “guest house”? Really?

I never knew it until Wikipedia said so.

Read about Liddy, and tell me if that doesn't remind you of our favorite Dallas oilman:

Liddy concocted several plots in early 1972, Some of these were far-fetched, intended to embarrass the Democratic opposition.[22] These included kidnapping anti-war protest organizers and transporting them to Mexico during the Republican National Convention, as well as luring mid-level Democratic campaign officials to a house boat in Miami, where they would be secretly photographed in compromising positions with prostitutes.

Southfork had a “guest house”? Really?

More likely it probably means guest room rather than guest house.

Or maybe it's a reference to the Ewing condo.

Just like J.R. is proud of some of his schemes, look at Liddy's personalized plate commemorating the Watergate break in and burglary.




This kind of thing fascinates me. People like J.R. and Gordon who are not only don't feel shame for their crimes, but instead are right out there for the whole world to see.
You might know the children's book series "Encyclopedia Brown"



There was a television episode named "The Burgled Baseball Cards" involving a baseball player at a baseball card show.

Now, only in America can a murderous, convicted felon say to himself, "I think I'd like to play that character on the kid's TV show."
And he did it!

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! I kept thinking, "That can't be him!"

That would be like Larry Hagman saying "Oil is too dirty and I'm switching to solar."

 

[Michelle Stevens]

Nothing against Hunter von Leer, but I wonder what it would have been like if G. Gordon Liddy had played BD Calhoun?

It is only fitting that a topic about the Washington Post devolves in a way about G. Gordon Liddy.

I think I might watch Street Hawk that night just to experience the joy of pure mid-80s ephemera

Street Hawk - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

is this like... Airwolf or Blue Thunder, but motorcycle-based?

or, actually... more like a direct copy of Knight Rider, with the mysterious 'man who does not exist'

This is Jesse Mach, an ex-motorcycle cop, injured in the line of duty. Now a police troubleshooter, he's been recruited for a top secret government mission to ride Street Hawk -- an all-terrain attack motorcycle designed to fight urban crime, capable of incredible speeds up to three hundred miles an hour, and immense firepower. Only one man, federal agent Norman Tuttle, knows Jesse Mach's true identity. The man...the machine...Street Hawk.

music composed by Tangerine Dream? How could this show possibly have failed?!

glorious!

What a pity no one killed Jenna whilst she was in jail.

That would've been a great plot development but I suppose the Lorimar Producer's weren't about to get rid of Elvis Presley's ex wife!
