I'll give you Old Yeller as sad, but Benji.

My first stuffed animal was Smokey the Bear. His hat didn't last long, but I had him for years. I like the new adds where he steps on a cigarette. Adds a non-smoking message with his prevent fires image.

That reminds me I need to keep up with my Christmas films.

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn will most likely be the next to watch on my list. This is also sad, so no stuffed Irishmen or trees.

I've caught the clips Neko..I didn't know all of you had hard bodies, surfed and trafficked in drugs. An wow you have a lot of serial killers and kingpins for such a small group of islands.
Also...all your cops are remarkably well groomed and awfully pretty

LOL
Stupid question -- do "all" shorelines have screaming seabirds at 'em?
Because my friends and I keep wondering "WTF is with those non-existant birds?" (We have birds, we don't have seabirds that do all that noise...)

As for the "small group of islands" -- I'm still waiting to see them film another island. (I do give them credit for trying to make it look like other locations...)

P.S. Spike fans should watch the 1st episode. James Marsters is the lead bad guy in the episode. I think that Hollywood likes his UK-type accent.

Well you know.. the mutant seabirds that escaped the lab...um..ok nevermind:)
I did notice that none of where they are filming looks anything like what I have seen...where are they filming anyway? I have to say it looks suspiciously like L.A.

Ah...that explains it...

Wait, WHAT labs? (Gorramit, I thought they outlawed the mutant seabird as an alternative to "airline travel"...)

Y'know, now I'm not sure if I should be flattered that the island looks like the mainland, or if I should be insulted completely.
It is filmed on Oahu...Most of the "wilderness" shots are probably at Kualoa Ranch on the windward side of the island, but the in-town shots are shot in town....my friends and I could show most folks where various scenes were shot in town as a tour if you like. 'Course the "wooded" drive and "Kauai" shots in this week's episode were mainly at Pali Lookout area, and Aloha Tower Marketplace was also the Kauai pier...
Oh...and random, funny trivia. The original Five-O supposedly had its offices in Iolani Palace...the new version has its "offices" (and I still want to know how can the task force get a whole floor to themselves with so much space...this must be an alternate universe Hawaii) across the street at the old Federal Court building.

Ya know, weird stuff is filmed here or near here. Top Gun, The Wizard, Pink Cadillac, and Joy Ride. There are some interesting old mining towns in central Nevada that need some movies made in them. Austin, Nevada is a town pretty and scary at the same time.

Well you're in luck. Top Gun 2 is supposedly going to be made. Maybe they'll come back.

Neko... I so can't wait to visit you:)
However I have to say my favorite tv inaccuracies are the ones with teachers. I love how, on the shows they apparently have unlimited prep periods, rarely grade papers, don't seem to have any other meetings or paperwork, and can leave school whenever they want.. I would love to know where those schools are and I want to work there

I can't wait for you, NVG, and lil'John get a chance to come down...

Don't forget that these teachers have the "magical" ability to fix problems a TV "week's" worth of time 90% of the time (45 minutes or less in our world), and are paid enough to live in fancy homes and drive fancy cars without being married to wealth, or wealthy already.....I wanna work there too.
