The Harlem Globetrotters Popcorn Machine (1974)
Slow Motion Replays
The part I remember about this show was the Globetrotters would do a few seconds of the "magic circle" where they do fancy basketball tricks and moves, then they would say that they were going to replay what you just saw in slow motion and you were to look for things you did not see the first time. The "slow motion" replay would consist of silly elements like passing the ball to Meadowlark and he would be dribbling while drinking a glass of water and then pass the ball to Curly who would be sitting in an easy chair while he dribbled, etc. As I recall they did this gag on every show.
It was a long time ago.
Houston, We've Got a Problem (1974)
horrible
This made for TV piece of junk shows exactly why made for TV movies are held in disdain.
This is supposed to be the Apollo 13 story, but it has nothing to do with the astronauts. All of the film is about the flight controllers and their personal problems at home. It is just stupid.
Gary Collins is in it... enough said.
Robert Culp should have know better than to be in this.
Most of the story in the film is fictitious.
Thank goodness Ron Howard came along twenty years later and told the Apollo 13 story is a way that NASA and everyone involved deserved.
