FAMOUS FIRSTS
๐Ÿฅ‡
With the new television season upon us, do you know these classic opening lines from famous television series?
01. "You’re traveling through another dimension." = Rod Serling’s The Twilight Zone.
02. "Theorizing that one could time travel within their own lifetime…" The Sam Beckett version of Quantum Leap.
03. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8." = Laverne and Shirley. The rest of the chant is “Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated,” before the theme song starts.
04. "We travel through time to help history along." = Voyagers!, a good science-fiction series that unfortunately only lasted the 1982-83 TV season.
05. "Space, the final frontier." =  Star Trek, first said during The Original Series and in subsequent programs since.

TRIVIA TIME
Since September 18 was Cheeseburger Day, how exactly did Jimmy Buffet like his ♫Cheeseburger In Paradise♫?
According to the song (and I played the track on the Songs You Know By Heart CD 3/THREE times to confirm this), Jimmy Buffet was "not too particular, not too precise" but a ♫Cheeseburger in Paradise♫ included an unspecified bun, "a huge hunk of meat" cooked medium rare, onion slice, lettuce, tomatoes, mustard AND Heinz 57 sauce; served with French fried potatoes, a Kosher dill pickle and a cold draft beer.
