        And next week 🙂

        I want a starwars one now from the idea of yesterdays commenter :p

        Monica could play a nice Princess Leia.
        Hmm.. Brandi as Chewbacca ^^

        http://ch3che.deviantart.com/art/she-s-a-rebel-177893125 little late for someone doing leia… but, i don’t see monica as leia, at all… maybe as wedge, ben n yoda might work if they had books, the one that has the angry outbursts but turns out to be lovable… throws engine blocks when mildly annoyed/detaches heads when upset about the outcome of a game of sabbac(or was that holochess?)… matched to personality, it’d be something totally different from ‘what would they look hottest in?’.

        Tina as Leia, actually.

        Phix as Yoda.

        Shelly as Han.

    Look! It’s a television set! And they’re showing a dramatization of a Stephanie Plum/Janet Evanovich novel! How engaging!

    Yes, I really am psyched about the tv.

        looks like channel 5 to me, if the blade of the dial is pointing to the channel it’s on.

      • Zachariaha
        June 30, 2011, 4:19 am | #

        For those who don’t remember well the old manual tuner the channel selector does not match up directly across to numbers. This is pointing to Channel 5. The reason is 13 channels and the space needed in the tuner for the components plus the space for UHF switch. Yes I know I am dating myself rather badly here but I used to fix these things in my spare time years ago.

      • Julie
        June 30, 2011, 8:08 am | #

        Meh…you’re not dating yourself that much. I remember using a manual dial on TVs when I was younger.

        Then again…if you’re around my age (28, soon to be 29), then I guess I’ve just been dated too. 😛

        It really amuses me how many bits of older technology or general knowledge people think of as OLD that I remember using or playing with when I was younger (though I tended to get in trouble for playing with the typewriter until I was 10 and “old enough not to break it”).

        And the bright dot that stayed forever in the middle of the screen. I think that at least one Science Fiction story was inspired by that dot–James Blish’s 1954 short story “Beep”, where each message over the Dirac Communicator started with a beep that contained every message ever sent, past, present or future.

    I’m not typically a fan of “reality” television, but I might give this show a chance.

      That’s true. I was thinking it would have to be set to ch. 3 or 4, not 12. Then I realized what we see of the the channel selector could be the opposite end from the channel indicator. In which case it appears as if it is set to channel 4.

      Also looks like a TV from a seedy motel somewhere.

      look at the title of the show in the inset… BAIL ENFORCEMENT Agent… he is obviously a bail jumper and she’s the bounty hunter sent to get him back… and he doesn’t WANT to go back, so he runs away… sorta’.

    This reminds me of the Big Shot tv show that was on Cowboy Bepob! But I know its probably based off of In Plain Sight with Mary McCormack.

    Don’t chuck out those old analog sets yet, cats and kittens! You have to have something to hook up those old VCRs, Atari 2600s, LaserDisc players, VIC 20s, and other classic video equipment to. The newer TVs can’t always display the old stuff properly. Ah, the days of large console units. Solid-state, baby!

      My 42-inch Phillips HDTV has RCA jack inputs. Curious, I hooked up the RCA outs on my old Atari 2600 to the Phillips – and it works.

      Playing Centipede, Asteroids, Dig-Dug, Battlezone, Tank, and many others on a screen that big is a bit (pun intended) mind-boggling; Pixilation City where each pixel is very discernable 🙂

      The main amplifier also has RCA input jacks; listening to the then-state-of-the-art warbly squeeky sound in 7.1 surround is, well, a different kind of immersion 😉
