What I Watched on TV Before Bed Last Night

I originally wrote this 2 nights ago, and posted it here, and was a little freaked out when it also showed up in the Shoutbox, which at the time was still being used for the "Halloween Improv." But @Zack encouraged me to post it again, so here it is:

(Both of these shows were on our local Ion/Quobo station, but I'm sure you can find them on-line, on YouTube, etc.)

10:55 P.M. The last 5 minutes of a cartoon called "Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century" (hopefully that is self-explanatory).

11:00 P.M. -12:00 A.M. - Two episodes of "Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?"

And I couldn't help wondering: Could Sherlock Holmes catch Carmen Sandiego? !! LOL!! :)

12:01 A.M. Then I changed the channel, and saw the last few minutes of an episode of original "Perry Mason." It was a courtroom scene, and there was an older lady (remember 50-60 yrs. old was considered "old" back then!! LOL!!) was on the witness stand. She had a "wee bit" of a Scottish accent. She was a Maid or something like that, and Mr. Mason was trying to get her to admit that she killed her employer with a fireplace poker, and was trying to blame it on his wife (I think). At first she denied it, but eventually, she broke down and confessed in typical, tearful fashion. And the first thing I thought was about the "Halloween Improv" @Zack, and I said to myself,"Well, at least it wasn't the Butler!!" LOL!!

Then, I thought wouldn't it be great to that kind of scene between Carmen Sandiego, the great and classy Queen of Crime, and Perry Mason, the great gentleman lawyer? !! Then, I thought, no, that will never happen, because Carmen always admits to the things she does. Oh, well...LOL!!

Then, I thought, I'll probably be having these kind of thoughts again soon... like Momday-Friday night, @ 11:00 P.M.-12:00 A.M. LOL. :)

No way, not even Sherlock could catch Carmen Sandiego.

Maybe not...but it would be fun to watch him try, wouldn't it? !! LOL!! And I think we can all agree that the hardest part of "catching" Carmen is keeping her from getting away from you once you've "got" her!! ;)

Julie it's Jade about Perry Mason I don't think he won't be prosecuting against Carmen at all because well he's retired don't you think? Other than that nice one.

Hello Jade. I used to watch the original "Perry Mason" episodes on one station, early in the morning, and then change the station and watch the made-for-TV-"Perry Mason" movies in the afternoon!! LOL!! So, yes, I know that the character "Perry Mason" had retired long before Raymond Burr actually died. :( But like I said, I was watching an episode of original "Perry Mason" when he was still a lawyer. And, as Lee suggested it would be possible to write a fan-fic type story, either about Sherlock Holmes chasing Carmen (the cartoon "Sherlock Holmes and the 22nd Century") or about Carmen on the witness stand in the courtroom with Perry Mason. Because (as we all know) Carmen does have a time machine!! LOL!! But mostly, this post was about what I watched on TV the other night before I went to bed the other night, and how it all had a law-enforcement theme: The World's Best Detective ("Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century") and the World's Best Thief ("Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?") followed by The World's Best Lawyer ("Perry Mason") and it just made me laugh a little. That's all. But thanks for your comment!! :)

Hello Invader. Yes, I should get WoEiCS? on DVD too, at some point. That would be a fun way to spend the day. Enjoy your day off. :)

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
