I remember watching it when I was a kid but I don't know if they were re-runs or not at that time. This would have been around the early 80s.Does anyone remember the "Bionic Woman?" (played by Lindsey Wagner). I thought she was pretty cool.

the best kinda mythos that Americans associate with different cultures/countries is easily visible in many movies, especially animated movies... the last one I saw and remember is the animated movie: Madagascar, in which the head chief of a population of lemurs and squirrels on an distant island, is shown to be a real whacko, and full of surprises and has a horrible indian accent and contemplates different ideas to please strangers and get his work done... Possibly the people behind the movie portrayed Indians to be something like that? I hope not.
I see a lot of Indian kids nowadays wanting to be future Sachin Tendulkars...!
I remember that show very well (ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch) during re-runs on WPWR-TV in Chicago.Does anyone remember the "Bionic Woman?" (played by Lindsey Wagner). I thought she was pretty cool.
They never re-ran the Six Million Dollar man episodes though.

Authentic Chinese food, or Americanized Chinese food?
By "Americanized" do you mean the Panda place in the mall? Then no - I don't like that.Authentic Chinese food, or Americanized Chinese food?

You really deserve an award if you actually like chinese food. I can't think of anything more repulsive to eat. However, different strokes for different folks.

Pray tell, Monk - If you had but one dish for each meal to eat everyday for the rest of your being - what would they be?You really deserve an award if you actually like chinese food. I can't think of anything more repulsive to eat. However, different strokes for different folks.
Mine:
Breakfast: Chorizo, scrambled eggs and corn tortillas with tabasco sauce.
Lunch: A salad with chicken, feta cheese, greek olives and hard boiled eggs
Dinner: Chicken & vegetables (except for mushrooms and onions) with white rice

If I had to eat the same dish everyday I should probably take the honourable option and just die.
But if you do absolutely insist I make a choice, here goes
Breakfast - Toast with Marmalade jam, occasional omelette and Tea.
Lunch- Indian (pref South) Veg meals
Dinner - Chicken / Lamb / Fish grill with a good selection of Whisky.
Yes, there you go, that seems horrible enough for the rest of my life.

One of our best Prime MinistersI know there is a good reason why I seem to know William Massey but I just can't remember why? Could you refresh my memory. (I also seem to recognise Edmund Hillary there but I do remember the reason why).

As an aside Kate Shepard should also be better known, she was the figurehead and leader of the suffragette movement in New Zealand and as such secured New Zealand as the first country in the world to introduce emancipation, a trigger which the other western nations then followed. Her name should be held in international renown but is of course virtually unknown outside NZ
