His first US tour was as the opening act for the Monkees, and he was rumored to be pulled on stage by them during their show. Maybe that's where it comes from.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-65890805245177853972007-01-18T10:55:00.000-05:002007-01-18T10:55:00.000-05:00Hendrix?

Is it easier imagining him standing at the back of the orchestra, methodically moving up and down the scale for <i>Get Smart</i>, or standing at the mic and attempting the Theramin-like warblings of the <i>Star Trek</i> theme? Those were, as you say, strange times.Whisky Prajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076228013022881173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-91160786781305889592007-01-18T08:13:00.000-05:002007-01-18T08:13:00.000-05:00I wonder if Jimi Hendrix did the guitar work.

I've had an ongoing discussion with <a href="http://webhome.idirect.com/~dagostino/blog.htm">Scott</a>, which started when I asserted that the new <i>Battlestar Galactica</i> is unlikely to be remembered with much fondness, simply because it hasn't allowed itself the opportunity to be goofy.<br /><br /><b>DV</b> - re: satiric targets of <i>Get Smart</i> you forgot "deluded chauvinists". "You've got a lot to learn about male superiority," scolds Max after <b>99</b> bests him yet again. Both my daughters love the show - the older one will be celebrating her 10th birthday on Friday, and will be holding a "Spy Party" for her classmates. The series is <a href="http://www.timelife.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=9613&">only available on-line</a> at <b>Time-Life</b>. I paid the asking price, and don't regret a single penny of it.<br /><br /><b>yahmdallah</b> - those father-daughter moments are pretty special, aren't they? I'm hoping by next year there will be at least one <i>Star Trek</i>-themed birthday party (that isn't my own, of course).<br /><br /><b>jim</b> - kinda makes you feel like stopping the car, and making a run for it, doesn't it?Whisky Prajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076228013022881173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-12316581886979751302007-01-17T14:05:00.000-05:002007-01-17T14:05:00.000-05:00Star Trek was filmed in a public school's backstag...Star Trek <i>was</i> filmed in a public school's backstage ared.

I just chose a subset of the eppys I wanted. I still paid too much though, and swore a blue streak when they boxed them all up cheaper. <br /><br />I still love the show. My eldest daughter loves them, too. They still contain some of the best story-telling ever in a series. (And it's cool seeing all the little moments restored that used to be cut out to fit in more commercials.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-12633916662355668322007-01-17T11:41:00.000-05:002007-01-17T11:41:00.000-05:00Oh.

Government, Hippies, Suit-wearing bombastic trilobytes. Yeah, just about the whole lot.<br />What, pray tell, was the price you paid to get your hands on that series?DarkoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572734667248592785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-45827184849047172892007-01-17T11:22:00.000-05:002007-01-17T11:22:00.000-05:00I've been watching the original Star Trek reruns o...I've been watching the original Star Trek reruns on TV land recently. It's amazing how that show never ages.<br />Or, I take that back.
