Guys,I just discovered the "Ray Bradbury Mystery Theater" show on broadcast teebee a few minutes ago. A local broadcast non-mainstream channel is airing it.

My viewing system is wi-fi via Roku,plus and outside antenna for broadcast tv,along with a tuner and recorder that I can switch to anytime I want to watch broadcast channels.


If you have cable,you are screwed. You ain't gonna get it.

I you have a Roku device, check out The Roku Channel on it. They carry a lot of classic TV shows, including The Ray Bradbury Theater and the old Alfred Hitchcock Show.

Thanks for the info! I get both on a local broadcast channel,so I didn't even look.

I LOVE the old Alfred Hitchock Presents show. I crack up every time he marches out on stage and says "Good Even-Ing".

The Man from U.N.C.L.E.  starring Henry Cavill is a great spy film! His role Napoleon Solo is created by Ian Fleming! Himself!

I recall watching the original Man From U.N.C.L.E., with Robert Vaughn and David McCallum, who played Illya Kuryakin.

One of the best ever lines from NCIS where, many, many years later McCallum played Dr. Mallard ("Ducky") was when he was asked by his assistant what he looked like when he was younger. His reply? "A lot like Illya Kuryakin."

I howled....

Yes,  Robert Vaughn and David McCallum were excellent and, I remember that NCIS  line!

Defintely.  If nothing else, the visuals are so much better than those of the first version.

They have a preview up for “Foundation” by Asimov, on iTunes.

When it comes out, I believe you can get a free week of Apple TV, so people can watch it.

That looks interesting; makes me want to go back and re-read the books again.

Agreed. I haven’t read the trilogy since HS.

I’d love to see something of Bradbury’s as a movie too.

I couldn't find much wrong with the original when it was first released.

Loved his books, was not thrilled with the follow ups by others.

That does look good, but I refuse to get deeper into the Apple ecosystem by signing up for Apple TV.

I have the same concern.

The movie? I made it about 10 minutes before I switched it off. Loved to books, though.

Other people can never do a good job finishing the book, unless the book is practically written and just needs some good editing.

I never read it, but I heard Christopher Tolkien’s book n the Hobbit universe was to be skipped.

I didn’t know there were other books about Foundation that were not written by Asimov, except for critical studies and Cliff Notes
