Ernest Borgnine

[Nightshade]

Dead. http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainmen ... -1.1110262

If you don't fondly recall him on the TV series Airwolf, you're a faggot.

[SoM]

i recall, so that makes me straight

[MKJ]

knight rider > airwolf
talking car with turbo boost yo. plus, the hoff aint dead.

[Eraser]

Nah, nothing beats the Airwolf theme playing and the chopper rising up from behind a mountain.

And they got far cooler names:

Airwolf > KITT
Stringfellow Hawke > Michael Knight
The FIRM > FLAG

So there.

[MKJ]

clearly, you sleep with men.
and listen to Prince.

[U4EA]

When we were kids, my brother "was" Airwolf so by default I had to "be" Knight Rider

[Eraser]

Purrrple raaiiinnnn, puuhuuurrple raiinnnnn!!

Nah, nothing beats the Airwolf theme playing and the chopper rising up from behind a mountain.

Even better: the chopper rose up from inside the mountain. The secret base was inside a cavern.

[Ryoki]

Can't remember much of the show tbh, but the theme song was fucking awesome.

Oh right, that's true.
I was thinking of when they were going to shoot the bad guys though. They would always rise from behind a hill or tall building or something.

McHale's Navy (his most famous role according to the news) was never shown over here afaik, but I grew up with Dominic Santini, Dutch and Cabbie - most of all though, I'll always remember Borgnine as Max, the lovable manservant on Hart to Hart. His gravelly voice always ran over the credits, introducing the amateur detectives with his trademark line, "it was moider"



Turns out that was Lionel Stander.

[MKJ]

pretty epic how someone is called Borg Nine btw

[LawL]

No system is perfect.

[Eraser]

Epic for a Star Trek nerd.

[HM-PuFFNSTuFF]

Turns out that was Lionel Stander.

Who was blacklisted during the McCarthy era.

[seremtan]

i fondly recall ernest borgnine from 'escape from new york' and also that movie whose name i can't remember in which he was the conductor of a train in a one-man war against the hobos who tried to get a free ride. i seem to remember he got owned by the boss hobo at the end

[Tsakali]

thankfully I don't remember seeing him in anything, so he doesn't matter.

[GONNAFISTYA]

So who else is rockin Dan Fogelberg?

[Nightshade]

And they got far cooler names:

Airwolf > KITT
Stringfellow Hawke > Michael Knight
The FIRM > FLAG

So there.

This. Although if we compare real actor's names, I think David Hasslelhoff beats Jan-Michael Vincent, tbh. But, Airwolf didn't have anyone like whoever that swishy ponce of a boss Michael Knight had.

They're all prancing, limp-wristed, douche chompers next to the A Team, anyways.

[Eraser]

True, but the A-team were just lucky they got locked up in a shed with plate steel, a welding torch and 4km's of ducttape. Every. Single. Time.

[GONNAFISTYA]

And the 200,000 bullets fired every show magically never hit anybody.

[MKJ]

except car tires

[Tsakali]

tv was so stupid back then, wonder if that reflected the audience , or they also thought of it just as silly as I do.

edit: k for the bloodthirsty morons out there, tv is still pretty stupid but it's a completely diff. kind of stupid.

R.I.P. Ernest Borgnine

I fondly remember him McHale's Navy from my childhood, yes that long ago.
Great B&W TV in those days and I can't recall it in colour




Don't remember the Airwolf show/series mentioned. Maybe never aired here.

[Eraser]

Whiskey 7 is so old, his fondest memories are in black and white.
