Old TV

Been watching some TV from my childhood.

An episode of Beany & Cecil (which had ads for the fall TV schedule). Fireball XL5, Thunderbirds, and Voyage to the Bottom of the PlotSea

I am *appalled* at the writers. We have a US Navy ship firing on an unidentified aircraft with no attempt to contact it.

We have several planes crashing into the ocean, and no attempt to recover the wreckage (or the flight recorders). Heck, one of them gets raised from the bottom to rescue the crew and there's *still* no attempt to examine it to determine why it crashed.

A blast on the surface of the Arctic ice cap, and a subn at *600* feet being hit by chunks of ice *sinking* and battering at it.

I could go on. But yeesh, I thought current shows were bad.

Then again, we *are* talking about Irwin Allen, and Gerry Anderson.
