True, but like a lot of the older shows, when thats all you have, you pay attention to the show. Even though some of the plot lines were...basic!felinefan wrote:Oh, yeah, black and white T.V. , commercials that didn't insult your intelligence, kid shows that were fun, and the family gathered to watch the T.V. together. Funny, on another site we were reminiscing about kid shows we used to watch.

Re: Will Disney Keep Us Amused?
Remember when it was a big deal for a hit movie to be shown on TV, three or four years after it was in theaters?
Re: DVR's... It's funny, but we used to be so excited to travel to WDW and have all of the Disney-oriented programming at our fingertips. But that was before we had satellite, and we found ourselves in our room at the Poly wishing we could pause and rewind the the shows we were watching!

Well, working for the government for 35 years, you notice that most, if not all, upper management must have read this when they were in school!!!Princess Susi wrote:Ahhh...The Peter Principle.

Re: Will Disney Keep Us Amused?
I think I have a video with the perfect gong. Actually I can think of two that would be perfect (Tarzan and the Leopard Women is one and the opening of Indiana Jones 2 come to mind). I'll see if I can get a screen capture and toy with it to give us our own SGT gong. Keep reminding me as I'm a long shift away from home where the videos are. There's a good chance I won't remember thins topic of discussion by the time I get home (heck I sometimes get home from work having trouble remembering my name).Zazu wrote:Wish we had one for SGs. We'd be the first place that ever wore out a gong!

My wife and I have a TV, but it spends very little time actually on. We use it so little, we usually have to spend fifteen minutes searching for the remote. Yes, we have to use it. The Power button doesn't work.
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Place remote control in your pouch. Even if you don't want to watch TV, Liz can have fun finding it. ;)Big Wallaby wrote:We use it so little, we usually have to spend fifteen minutes searching for the remote. Yes, we have to use it. The Power button doesn't work.

Ok folks, you asked for a gong, you get a gong. Two versions.

I hope these work right. I tried to keep the clear background. Zazu, grab what you want and if the background didn't stay transparent, let me know.
BTW I was wrong, it wasn't Tarzan and the Leopard Women, it was Tarzan and the Amazon Women. :D:
