3rd Rock from the Sun: Frozen Dick (1996)
My favorite..
I stayed up until 3:30 this morning just to watch one scene in my favorite episode! Mary and Dick are stranded in a diner during a snowstorm. To keep spirits up, Dick serenades Mary with the title song from OKLAHOMA! The diner patrons join in. Then a man at the counter turns to add his beautiful baritone to the group-and it's John Raitt, who played Curly in the national touring company of the musical. What a voice!
Another sly reference was when Dick looked out the window of the plane he and Mary were scheduled to fly, and yelled the there was something on the wing (he played that role in the Twighlight Zone movie). Needless to say his behavior got them ejected from the flight.
I must buy the DVD set of the show so I can see this episode at my leisure instead of the middle of the night!
The American Buffalo (2023)
Don't let history repeat...
I am from Cincinnati. Each time I visited our zoo I stopped at the statue of Martha, the last passenger pigeon to survive the massacre of her species. She died here all alone. It makes me cry each time I think that of the millions of her kind she was all alone at the end, with no way to pass on to a new generation.
I cried in this show, too. Seeing the hunters sitting atop that huge mound of buffalo skulls was disturbing. And also the horrible accounts of the treatment of native Americans. Thank God for those wonderful people who persevered in their mission to save this wonderful creature. It's a shame the government wasn't as kind to the different tribes.
