The premise is good, but it needed to be realistic.

Mission impossible (original tv) had some similar premises, but 
was a good show, not hokey like mcdumber.

The first season is pretty good but as it went on they were 
clearly grasping for ideas. The longer Richard Dean Anderson's 
mullet gets the farther you are into the series and the lamer 
it is.Remember that the '80s was a bd time for TV. That

I kid you not, there must have been 20 or more iterations of "Land Before

There is a local television feed on cable that's a national provider in most 
markets called "MeTV". They show all kinds of older TV shows, like Hogan's 
Heroes, Twilight Zone, etc., etc.  One of the shows they run is MacGyver, which 
precedes Hogan's Heroes (which I often watch before I fall to sleep.)

I never watched the show when it aired, but have heard about it, especially the 
spoofs on Saturday Night Live.  I occasionally see the last few minutes of it, 
and since having done so, have found that it's got to be one of the goofiest 
bad 80s shows that ever existed

Re: [MBZ] OK guys it's time to grow up

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Ahh the wonder of being outside the rustbelt.
I *think* I'm going to spend some quality time welding my Jetta back to 
ship-shape and get another year out of it. I'd thought it had totally rotted 
out but the last time I took a look underneath it wasn't as bad as I thought.
People still think I'm crazy to drive a car with 280,000 miles. "What will you 
do if it breaks?" "Uuuuh, fix it?"

No idea, but I'm sure they paid more than $1100.

I think that with care, my family could drive our current cars until we
die, unless of course they are irreparably damaged in a collision or some
other catastrophic event.

How much did the extended warranty cost? My brother in law did one of those 
deals and had a $1000 repair he got "for free". Turns out he paid like $5,000 
for the warranty...

I was thinking on that today as a gal passed me in her 57 chevy.  Got to 
thinking how way old that car was.  How they seemed antique back in the 1970’s. 
 This, while driving the 82 SD.  Then I was considering why I felt that Allen 
was more reliable than the w220.  That the new cars are really only reliable 
for about 10-12 years, then the computers and electronics fail and repair cost 
exceed the value of the car.

If only MB/MomBUSA would grow up and offer sturdy, reliable cars again; 
(in place of throw away electronic toys.)


Crap ads won't get me to buy a crap car.  (I realize the ads are not 
aimed at me)


I don't  recommend a new MB to anyone.
