Cord cutter

"Well, at least it's an improvement from last night."

'I expect 'Sesame Street has seen some new developments since I was your age?'

'Who do you think you're kidding? -- You lifted that alibi from a September, 1958 episode of 'Perry Mason!'

John Laurie

"No one knows his identity. He just turns up, cuts your grass, then departs without leaving his name. They call him the Lawn Ranger."

You probably perfected your ability to mete out justice by watching "Perry Mason" as a kid. Personally, I perfected my ability to lie by watching "Leave It To Beaver."

You're on "Ask Sadie." What's your problem?! "Star Trek Beyond." I read that the new film's going to honor the original series' 50th anniversary by including shoulder pads in the uniforms. Can you believe that? Everyone knows the original series didn't have shoulder pads. Next Generation had the shoulder pads. Next caller. Am I right to worry that Star Trek may not be in the best hands?
