The In Crowd (1988)
The In Crowd ... One of my ALL TIME favorite movies!!
The In Crowd is definitely one of my all time favorite movies. Watching this is a "time machine" for me. It takes me back to those days watching dance shows every afternoon. (Anyone remember Cam Nelson (?) dancing on L. A. TV every afternoon? - don't remember the show) The story line is a bit weak, but the dancing, music, simplicity of the time strike home with me ... it takes me back to that era when I was a teenager in So. Cal. ...
I lucked out many years ago at a Laserdisc store that was going out of business -- found a rental LD that was for sale .. one of the best investments of my life! Converted it to DVD and now watch it half a dozen times a year ...
I suggest that if you have the opportunity, take a chance and watch it -- accept it for what it is -- a dancing TV show in a simpler time with great music and dancing ... you might waste an hour and a half or you might be completely entertained ...
Oh, BTW -- Jennifer Runyon -- will you please marry me? :)

CBS Playhouse: Sadbird (1969)
Great!
Oh My God! I have been trying to confirm that this has existed for YEARS! I saw it in '69 when it was first on TV. All my searches for "Sad Bird" have resulted in zero hits. Enough of that - it was/is an excellent story about marketing/planned obsolescence and an executive that lived with it (I could be TOTALLY wrong, but after 35+ years, that is my recollection). Sad Bird was a toy bird that flew around the room and at some point dropped to the ground - showing how the world and life truly is ... it comes to an end and don't depend on anything! Whatever the actual story line is, I remember it fondly and would LOVE to see it again ...
