Episode: "So Help Me God.

This was a lark for me. I'm not generally watching vintage TV - beyond the occasional Columbo. I'm surprised at how sharp this script was; I remember a lot of 70s detective shows being rather hacky. It's not genius or anything but it's good and entertaining.

Doctor Who: Series 7 (2013)

I am a US n00b to Doctor Who, with the exception of occasionally catching the old series on a UHF channel ages ago.

My wife and I have been slowly working our way through the rebooted series. Should be finishing off the 7th season tonight.

Thanks for the flashback, friend!

Thanks for the flashback, friend!

A pleasure! 

I often think back on the crazy things I could find on our local UHF channel. While I am sure I could scour YouTube for some of those things, the low-rez affability of some of those shows is forever lost, I think. Perhaps for the better...

And in David Bowie's song Uncle Floyd

I never suspected.

[SimonNZ]

It'd a good song.

The Toy version has about a minutes worth of the show at the beginning.

Loved watching those shows!

some of these episodes are pretty tightly scripted. I'd say Columbo is still much higher quality than the rest but Rockford Files gets a B to Colombo's A. What other shows get a B?

Wonderful! I hope you still have that shirt.

Apparently, assuming he is still alive and the same person you mentioned, you can receive a phone call from Uncle Floyd:

Wound up Twin Peaks last night. While I have loved the series, I cannot stave off disappointment with the ending.

Currently Season 2 of Vienna Blood, in which a young Jewish Freudian doctor/psychoanalyst teams up with a grizzled detective in early 20th Century Vienna. It's a variation on Holmes and Watson but very enjoyable in all respects:

Nice musical pun, too.

Angelo Badalamenti, the composer associated with the series, tells a funny story: he was in EMI's Abbey Road studio with Paul McCartney, who had asked his help with orchestration. Relating to Badalamenti an earlier event when McCartney was expecting to present a 35-minute musical production before Queen Elizabeth. Her Majesty brushed off Sir Paul because it was nearly 8 PM and time for Twin Peaks

I'm just in the middle of Season 1, viewing for the first time -- no spoilers, please

Indeed!

I rewatched the final two hours, and then out of curiosity watched the international pilot, and then (again) the original pilot for comparison.

That's all I'm saying at present.
