I Dream of Jeannie: Please, Don't Feed the Astronauts (1968)
One of my all time favorite episodes
"Your favorite nurse is here."
"I don't see any Giant Chicken"
"We're a friendly native village, just like it says in your book".
"You're just as sane as I am."
These are just some of the funny quotes from the episode. These and the very funny Paul Lynde make this a very memorable episode. Also guest starring is Ted Cassidy, better known as Lurch from "The Addams Family".
It is one of few "I Dream of Jeannie" episodes where long-suffering Doctor Bellows gets to see Major Nelson and Major Healey "do it" to someone else.
Enjoy the episode. It is a classic.
Hellfighters (1968)
Prefectly good entertainment
No, it's not the best movie ever made, but it is worth a watch. As far as I know, nobody else has done a movie about people who put out oil well fires. So it is in a class by itself.
Red Adair served as technical adviser so you know they got the details right. You got the definite taste of what it is like to fight an oil well fire. No glamor, no glitz. Just hard, dangerous work.
The score wasn't too bad. I enjoyed the theme song. It always starts up whenever a call about a new job comes in. It helps make a nice transition from the everyday ordinary life, and the serious business of putting out fires.
A bit of trivia, the last fire that supposedly was in some Latin American country was filmed in Wyoming. When John Wayne comes flying into the airport there, you can see Casper Mountain in the background. It's quite amusing for anyone who has ever spent time there.
