I don't know if this one has been brought up before -- album covers which have pictures of statues. We begin with:

I found this at the library and have been watching some episodes. TBV was not a show I paid much attention to as a kid. Even then, it seemed to me like an obvious rip-off of Bonanza, only with a grey haired woman as head of the clan instead of a grey haired man. I had no idea that in addition to Jarrod, Nick and half-bother Heath, there was also another Barkley boy, Eugene. He was quickly sent off to school and disappeared from the show as I guess they had no idea what to do with the character. Linda Evans was a really lousy actress back then. I don't know if she ever improved by the time Dynasty rolled around as I never watched that show. Lee Majors must have been selected as the sex symbol because they did show his butt a lot and found ways to get him shirtless pretty often. But of course the main reason to watch this show was the one and only Miss Barbara Stanwyck. Thank goodness for TV, because even though she should have still been making major motion pictures at the time, she at least had the opportunity to work her craft on the small screen after the offers for roles on the big screen stopped coming. Some of the episodes here don't give her much to work with, but in one episode, due to an earthquake, she is trapped underground with guest star Charles Bronson. Well, in a head to head match up between Charles Bronson and Barbara Stanwyck, any smart person would know whom to put their money on -- and it ain't Mr. Majestyk. When she finally has had enough of his attitude, Ms. S unleashes a verbal tirade upon him that is a wonder to behold.

I hadn't seen this in 35 years. It still holds up pretty well. Don't try to make too much sense of the plot, just enjoy the visual storytelling. In retrospect, this was maybe the first 1980's film that looked 1980'sish. The motor scooter chase through the underground is still very compelling. An interesting documentary about a man with an interesting career. The most surprising part of the film was seeing Jack Nicholson (Jack Nicholson!!!) break down and cry while speaking about Roger Corman.

I quite liked it. It's nothing startlingly new or original, even among Woody Allen's films, but the story moves along well, the characters are interesting, the performances are good and it's beautifully filmed. Not necessarily a must see film, but if you're a fan of the director's work, it's one worth watching.

First of all, a big hand to his mother, the 101 year-old Mrs. Burton!! Good for him for making the difficult choice to bow out while he is still in command of all his musical skills. That let's people remember him at his best. I regret that I never got to see him perform. I do have a lot of his recordings, but nowhere near the majority of them if he cites 66 albums he made as leader/co-leader. He was a phenomenal musician in a variety of settings. His autobiography was a great reading experience. Good luck and happy travels in retirement, Mr. Burton.

Perhaps just a slight variantion from his daily attire, but I think the addition of the hat, holster & gun, and especially the menacing mustache, qualifies this as a costume.

But they could have made it better by having Julie Andrews star in it!

This is a single, not an album, but it has lab equipment

If there is a category of "coming of age" movies, I guess this might fit into the category of "going of age" movies since it looks at the other end of the lifespan. It deals with the lives of some of the residents of a retirement home without being overly sentimental or depressing. Pretty good.

While it is quite reasonable to assume Tony Randall might have frequently worn a tux in his daily life, the raccoon coat (or whatever it is) meant to evoke the 1920's era of the songs on the album is what makes it a costume to me.
