I really liked the older 60 minutes tv show from 15 years ago.

They did an investigative show on how illegals got to be rich almost overnight in USA where you see a homeless mexican one day and next year he is driving a top of the line Cadilac with all features and its paid off!


Well as it turned out they had to do two things. Have a stable job and give up a percentage of their paycheck into what they called a Q account with a local bank.

Not just one famil but several families deposited their income into these accounts and once a year a family was chosen as the next to withdrawl money.

They not only took out what they put into it but was allowed to take out what all other put into it as well.

So in one years time with with lots of people in the circle depositing money one familiy was able to take out almost 1 million dollars.


Variations of this Q account system took place either by force or voluntary.

The withdrawls happend for those in order who deposited first.

So if lets say example 10 people are in a group then if you are the last one then you get your money at the end of ten years.

This is where gangs get involved when people say they no longer want to contribute even though their turn may be with 2 or 3 years because of certain hardships.

Now you also know how the latin kings other than using drugs make lots of money

america's most wanted, unsolved mysteries, it's a miracle, miracle pets, beyond belief: fact or fiction

Ally McBeal


Mr. Show


Strangers with Candy


Ray Bradbury Theater


Tracey Takes On


Real Sex


Cindy Margolis Show


Very early Law and Order episodes, pre-2000

Miami Vice, Hill Street Blues, Emergency!, Adam-12, Magnum P.I., The Equalizer, Quantum Leap and The Wonder Years

But my all-time favorite show is "The Six Million Dollar Man"...an astronaut who crashes an experimental NASA prototype...lives...gets bionic implants...AND does secret missions for the government...while driving a Mercedes SL...and fucks Lindsay Wagner?!?! Probably a gay show by today's standards but when you're 9 it makes you sit there with your jaw hanging open...

Do you really care about older TV shows or were you just trying to make a point about how illegals got rich?

(1) The Outer Limits
(2) The Twilight Zone

These shows were made in the 60's and dont rely on blood and guts and explosions to be scary. The special effects are primitive at best but some of the episodes are pretty entertaining. My favorite Outer Limits is "The Zanti Misfits".

+1

I just started catching OL, I never saw it growing up much, but it's pretty good.

There was an Outer Limits where something came out of the woodwork - might have been called "They Came Out of the Woodwork"...another had tar things coming out of petrol tanks or something.

Really liked both TZ and OL...still do.

Earliest TV I can remember watching was Disney and Wild Kingdom on Sunday evenings. Hawaii Five-O and the NBC Mystery Series (Columbo, McCLoud) came later.

I can still whistle the theme to the NBC Mystery Series.

Don't forget McMillan and Wife.

We watched an OL the other night...."Controlled Experiment" and one of the actors was none other than a very young Carroll O'Conner.....that's right Archie Bunker!

I used to like watching the after school reruns of Little House on the Prairie. That was a good show. Hawaii Five-O was another one that was in syndication forever. One of the best cop shows of all time, IMO.

great show

Pimp my Ride West Coast Customs shows only

2nd on Unsolved Mysteries

Fear Factor had some good episodes

McHale's Navy. They couldn't fire torpedos because they kept beer in the torpedo tubes. Nuff said.

Gentle Ben, a bear and a kid fight crime and injustice.

Did anyone watch Firefly? I kept hearing it had a cult following and received critical acclaim, I watched two episodes and decided it was dumber than Battlestar Galatica.

Mostly cop-type shows: X Files, Homicide, Magnum PI, Rockford Files. And I have to admit Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I was absolutely addicted to two short-lived shows in the 2000's: Dresden Files and Special Unit 2.

The Rockford Files and the Saint,,,

Quite frankly neither of them would have had any adventures or got their ass kicked so much if they had a cell phone,,,

The Saint was before my time and no offense, Hatemotor, but does not that logo seem a bit, well, gay? How exactly did The Saint go around solving crimes?

I thought it had cheesy sets, amateurish dialogue, and dumb plots.

I liked that show "Really Incredible Heavy Duty Dudes".

Hawaii 50 (old)
Top Gear (current)

I grew up watching with my parents, so my favorites are Have Gun, Will Travel; Perry Mason;Rawhide;Outer Limits, Alfred Hitchcock, Route 66

IT'S CALLED A PYRAMID SCHEME. IT'S CALLED A PONZI SCHEME. IT'S COMPLETE BULLSHIT.

>I thought it had cheesy sets, amateurish dialogue, and dumb plots.

Also a bad theme song. The script quality was a bit uneven but at least two of them, Out of Gas and Objects in Space are, for lack of a better word, perfect. They are simply textbooks of writing and directing.

All in the Family and Sanford and Son have to be the best shows of all time! When people could laugh at differences among races and not try to turn everything into a race war!

No question about it. "All in the family" could not air today because of all the liberal bullshit.
That was the best show in the 70's. America has gone to shit.

That's Incredible! was the best goddamn tv show ever created.

As stupid as it often was, "Night Court" was amusing.

>Very early Law and Order episodes, pre-2000

Anything with Adam Schiff. When he left and the show died for me. The fact that Adam spanned the Claire Kincaid years - just a coincidence.

Fright Night on Channel 20 back in the day. and of course i could watch the Kims karate commercial all day long.

Benny Hill when he would pat the old bald guy on the head

The USA network Night Flight programming from the early 80s, which ran overnight on Fridays & Saturdays, was the best shit ever produced for cable television.

Did Night Flight have music videos back in the day? or was that the "adult" programming?

Yes they had cool as shit music videos, documentaries and movies. Here's some of what aired (I pulled this from wikipedia):

Night Flight was one of the first places to see films and shorts not generally aired on broadcast television or on the pay-per movie channels such as HBO. It was the first place many Americans were able to see music documentaries like Another State of Mind, The Grateful Dead Movie, Word, Sound and Power, and Yessongs. Night Flight was also one of the first American television shows to display the music video as an art form, rather than purely as a promotional tool for the artists. In addition, with the freedom it had on early (and late-night) cable television, it would at times show portions of videos that MTV and other outlets had either censored or, in some cases, banned outright.

In the original format of the show, there was no formal host. Voice-over introductions were made by Pat Prescott before segments started. Recurring segments included:
Take Off - A segment grouping together music videos on particular themes as well as a mix of interviews and snippets from movies, to help round out the segment. Examples from the show are Take Off To Animation, Take Off To Sex, Take Off To Violence, etc. San Francisco news reporter Dave McQueen did the voice-overs.
New Wave Theatre - Hosted by Peter Ivers, the show featured punk and New Wave acts, chiefly from the Los Angeles area.
The Video Artist - A segment covering artists working in the then-new world of video and computer graphics.
The Comic - Profiles of various comedians, consisting of stand-up bits interspersed with interview segments.
Video Profile - A segment featuring videos by one particular band or artist. works included Suspicious Circumstances, by Jim Blashfield, and works by the Brothers Quay.
Atomic TV - A segment featuring various Cold War-era footage
Love That Bob (Church of the Sub-Genius) - A serialized presentation of the Sub-Genius video Arise!
Rick Shaw's Takeout Theater
Dynaman - An English-dubbed parody of six episodes of the Super Sentai series Kagaku Sentai Dynaman
J-Men Forever
Space Patrol - An early 1950s U.S. sci-fi television series
Tales of Tomorrow
Heavy Metal Heroes
The Some Bizzare Show, featuring the artists of the Some Bizzare label
Snub TV

Bela Lugosi's Monogram films were recurring features. Other segments included condensed parodies of low-quality, out-of-copyright black-and-white-era movies and serials, as well as letters from viewers.
The show would also highlight movies that were regarded as cult hits. Examples include:
Fantastic Planet, the English title of La Planète Sauvage (literally "The Savage Planet") an animated 1973 science fiction film directed by René Laloux.
The Kentucky Fried Movie, an American comedy film, released in 1977 and directed by John Landis.
Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains, the story of a proto-riot grrrl band, directed by Lou Adler.
Music of the Spheres, a low-budget psychological science fiction mystery, directed by Philip Jackson and starring Peter Brickmanis and Anne Dansereau.
Rude Boy, a punk rock drama featuring The Clash.
Breaking Glass, a musical drama starring Hazel O'Connor and directed by Brian Gibson.
Flesh for Frankenstein and Blood for Dracula, two horror satires directed by Paul Morrissey and initially presented by Andy Warhol.
