Cult TV Lounge: August 2015
http://cult-tv-lounge.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
British and American cult television from the 1960s and 1970s. Wednesday, 26 August 2015. Towards the end of the run of The Saint. Producer Robert S. Baker came up with what he thought was a very cool idea - why not pair the smooth, urbane and very English Simon Templar with a brash, cocky American in a kind of buddy movie episode. The episode in question, The Ex-King of Diamonds. In The Ex-King of Diamonds. Two essential parts of the formula for The Persuaders! And the first episode of The Persuaders!

Created on 12 July 2005 (#7704319). Last updated on 29 August 2016. A forum for classic movie fans (up to 1979). I know there are already quite a few LJ movie communities, but I’m hoping this one will be a bit different. I’m hoping it will be a community where discussions get a bit more in-depth than just who’s your favourite movie star? Or OMG my favourite movie is Gone with the Wind! There's only one real rule here - no political discussions of any kind. Politics has killed too many online groups.

Cult TV Lounge: Mission: Impossible - season 1 (1966)
http://cult-tv-lounge.blogspot.com/2014/02/mission-impossible-season-1.html
British and American cult television from the 1960s and 1970s. Saturday, 15 February 2014. Mission: Impossible - season 1 (1966). Was one of the most successful spy series of its era, running on the American CBS network from 1966 to 1973. There are broadly speaking two approaches to the spy thriller. There’s the gritty realist approach, usually with a hint of cynicism, typified by British series like Callan. The Man From U.N.C.L.E. And It Takes a Thief. James Chapman singles out Mission: Impossible.

Cult TV Lounge: Department S (1969-70)
http://cult-tv-lounge.blogspot.com/2014/04/department-s-1969-70.html
British and American cult television from the 1960s and 1970s. Tuesday, 1 April 2014. As James Chapman points out in his excellent book on the various ITC adventure series, Saints and Avengers. What they did was to invert the formula of their earlier series The Champions. Started off with a bizarre and fantastic premise, three secret agents who have acquired superhuman and paranormal powers, but balanced the fantastic premise with straightforward and realistic storylines. So Department S. Is fun and I...

Cult TV Lounge: Batman, season one (1966)
http://cult-tv-lounge.blogspot.com/2015/07/batman-season-one-1966.html
British and American cult television from the 1960s and 1970s. Monday, 20 July 2015. Batman, season one (1966). I was never a great fan of the Batman. TV series. On the other hand I can see why people liked it so much. I can appreciate its virtues. And revisiting it now I have to say has turned out to be fairly enjoyable. There are some truly inspired visual moments - the use of umbrellas in the first Penguin story is very clever and very witty. And rubbing it in by inventing his own utility belt - at th...

I used to be amused, now Im disgusted. Oct 10th, 2016. Cult TV blog updates October. Cult TV blog updates October:. Season two (1980) - I found myself enjoying this more than season 1 for some reason. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. 1979) - even more cerebral and in some ways even more bleak than. But thoroughly absorbing and very impressive. 1969) - very ambitious British children's series that is really much more suited to adults than children. Interesting but not entirely successful.
