It’s funny you would mention F. F. Over the years we have seen every one multiple times. Have you seen the bite mark ones?
Those really stand out.

They've made some new episodes...It’s funny you would mention F. F. Over the years we have seen every one multiple times. Have you seen the bite mark ones?
Those really stand out.
It's scary to realize how just a bit of science can keep innocent people out of prison or worse...
As far as stand out cases...and it didn't involve a murder...far and away the one that I just shake my head at is the one where a Dr. drugs a female patient and rapes her...then through an incision in his arm he implants a rubber tube filled with another person's blood so he could pass a DNA test...just unbelievable...!

Future houses will have a 3D VR room. It will have padded walls. In which you can go crazy in.

We had a neighbor, who always had better and newer gadgets than my parents, and their family room TV had a remote. But it was corded! It must've had a 25 foot long cord tying it to the TV, and if I recall, you could only access on/off and go up or down one channel at a time. No punching in direct channel numbers on that one, that I can recall.
Being in the Philly 'burbs, the channels I remember at the time were 3, 6, 10, and 12 on VHF, and then 17 and 29 on the UHF tuner, which were still separate knobs through at least the 1980's. So channel surfing on that remote, with a manual tuner knob clicking thru all of those channels one at a time, could take more time than just getting off the couch and spinning the knob.
Then we all got these. Never learned if this particular box model was a local thing (they were made here near Philly), or if the rest of the country had the same thing sitting on their TV's:

Every 13 year old boy knew that if you'd go to the far right button, throw the row selector to the bottom row, and wind the fine-tune all the way in one direction, you could pull in Playboy channel pretty well.
South Jersey same thing.

Peter Faulk did some summer theater in South Jersey way back when and stopped to eat at a local restaurant.
He autographed a napkin and the restaurant had it on display .

I do love the black and white reruns today but one thing that that drives me wild is the amount of commercials added now and how bits of the earlier shows are snipped out to make way for them. There is a particular Andy Griffith show where a part with Floyd the barber is cut and it just makes the scene not flow right.
