I like the convenient "Add to Cart" button for the impulse buyers :lol: Hey, the good news is that the dollar is improving against the pound -- it's only $5439 US!

As to things that make me go "grrr", one has to be the slow top-to-bottom pan of Emma's costume at the beginning of The Masterminds. I don't think I've ever watched it without rolling my eyes.

It's really interesting to read other people's points of view. To me, Complex was the worst New Avengers episodes. It just seemed like they were trying to remake The House that Jack Built with Purdey instead of Emma. The plot was confusing and boring and by the end I was almost rooting for the build...

The first time I saw the Superlative Seven, I really liked it. In fact, I would have rated it as one of my favorite Avengers episodes. But once I saw Dressed to Kill, I couldn't see Superlative Seven as anything but a very pale immitation. I still watch Superlative Seven occasionally, because I like...

If you caught 70% your first time through you did a lot better than me! The first Cathy episode I watched, I could barely make out half of what was said. To me, the problem seems to be that the actors are too far away from the microphones, which makes it seem like they are mumbling. They also talk v...

Ring me. It's hard to read, but I'm pretty sure that's what it says. Besides, later in the episode when Steed is in the tailor shop, he calls Cathy. During the conversation he says something like, "No I didn't get your message." This would only make sense if Cathy wrote "ring me"...

She also appeared in Propellant 23, although she and Macnee didn't seem to have much chemistry in the few scenes they shared. I enjoyed reading his account of the marriage in his bio - expecially about the costs of keeping her horse.

Thanks for the video link!

I agree with Rodney. If after viewing all of the Emma Peel episodes, you find that you prefer the color seasons, then you should go on to Tara King. If you prefer the monochrome episodes, then give Cathy Gale a try. My personal favorites are the Cathy Gale seasons. I also enjoyed The New Avengers qu...

Well, I'll give it a try. I'm a fan of the Cathy Gale episodes, though, so my rankings wouldn't mean much if I didn't include them. Also, I made up one category of my own. Here goes: Best for action 1. The Cybernauts 2. Dead Man's Treasure 3. The Undertakers 4. Murdersville 5. Death Dispatch Best Ou...

Although it varies from state to state, it is usually only necessary to publish a death notice when a will is being probated or the court is settling an estate for an individual who died intestate. (It wasn't the lawyers who came up with this rule, but the creditors who worried they wouldn't get the...
