I had just written the most mind-blowingly brilliant entry when my laptop crapped out. It's too late and I'm far too lazy to start again, so you'll just have to take my word on how much it rocked. And it did. Ok, no it didn't. It was just like all my other drivel about the stupid shit I do, but humor me and pretend along.
I just saw on TV that they're remaking The Bionic Woman, and I'm not ashamed to say that I'm practically quivering with excitement. I hope they include a shot in the opening of the her ripping the yellow pages in half, because when you see that you know the bitch means business and you'd better back the hell off. My favorite episode was the one where the evil people (Russians? Communists? Republicans? Who knows.) built human-looking robots and Jamie Sommers was running around inside a nuclear reactor for some reason that I never understood and all these robot clones were dicking around trying to destroy America. Or something. I don't know. But I remember the scene where she ripped off the face of one of the clones and there was this robot with a big metal face and lightbulb eyes and I don't mind saying that I wet my pants a little at that moment.
Does anyone remember the tv show Emergency!? If so, you might recall the hospital they used in the opening credits. That hospital is where I was born, you guys!!!
How exciting is that?!?! Ok, it's not. Oh! And do you remember the shot of the fire station with the big doors rolling up and the truck coming out with the sirens blaring? We used to drive by that somtimes and my parents would always point it out to me, at which point I would beat my palms against the car window and shout "Rampart! Rampart!" Isn't that fascinating? No? Oh, bite me. I'm trying.
So, yeah. That's all I got. Maybe tomorrow I'll re-write my original post. But only if there aren't any cheesy 70's dramas on tv. If there's phonebook-ripping or hospital-showing I'm going to be occupied. I've got my priorities, people.

Heh heh. I loved Emergency. I didn't watch The Bionic Woman much (or its male-centered counterpart) but you gotta admit, Jamie Sommers was a heckuva lot better role model for young girls in the '70s than most of the rest of the stuff on TV then!
The robots were called "fembots" and I seem to remember the evil genius who created them became a recurring character.
Lynnster, you're not lying lady. Jamie Sommers was a strong, secure lady. An educator. A giver. A lover. A fighter. And she was friends with the Native Americans and was invited to their powwows!
Kelly, I thought Austin Powers coined the phrase "fembot." Shows you what I know. I don't remember enough about those shows to recall any recurring characters, but if those shows are on DVD I do believe I predict some purchases in my future. Hells yeah.
