The TV Tripler

My three favorite classic TV series, dating me very clearly as a prime Baby Boomer, are The Adventures of Superman, Leave it to Beaver, and Star Trek (TOS). Only Beverly Washburn appeared in all three of those shows, as I told her a few years ago at Trekconderoga. (This year’s event is in progress right now, with special guest George Takei.)

Those three shows were on TV before streaming, before the DVR, before DVD, before VHS and LD, and before cable. A couple of weeks ago, Beverly was on the Creature Features channel on YouTube.

Svengoolie will be showing Blood of Dracula on MeTV tonight, on standard definition station 5.2 here in Boston. As I await the arrival of ATSC 3.0 NextGen TV, YouTube channels like Creature Features have me wondering if broadcast television has much of a future.

Collision Course

The baggage associated with the term UFO has its use falling out of favor. It’s being replaced with UAP.

Wouldn’t a collision be the most revealing way to learn about these things? But there won’t be any collisions if they’re as incredibly fast and agile as claimed. Those suckers are Sky Pilots extraordinaire!

We’re stuck waiting for the intelligent beings guiding the UAP’s to call.
