They stayed with really low-rated shows such as Cheers (which had ratings in the basement) because they had little, Diffent Strokes, CHiPS, Facts of life, Real People, A-Team. Then Cosby, Family Ties, Golden Girls change the dynamic Roger Owen Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-10544601392015367082017-01-24T16:14:36.116-05:002017-01-24T16:14:36.116-05:00Regarding Supertrain, I vaguely remember this show...Regarding Supertrain, I vaguely remember this show... I remember the train, at least, which struck me (then and now) as a really cool piece of design. In that behind-the-scenes photo of the wreck, I think the dude you mention is none other than John Dykstra of Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica fame. I might have to research that. :D<br /><br />As for The Last Jedi... meh. The title's been used at least once before that I know of, in an issue of the original Marvel Comics series, and I'm fairly certain there was an EU novel by that name too... maybe one of the YA books? I don't know - don't have time to google right now. But it strikes me as pretty unimaginative and uninspired/uninspiring. It may be absolutely perfect for the story, though; we'll see.<br /><br />And of course the speculation has already begun about what exactly it means... WHO is the last Jedi? Luke? Rey? Both? (Is it plural or singular?) <br /><br />My own thought is that it would've been a perfect reference to <i>Leia</i>, especially if Luke gets whacked in this story... but of course Carrie Fisher's passing would make that development... problematic.
