  1. The Clairtone Project G stereo was produced by Clairtonefrom 1964-67. Costing 2000$ new (approximately the equivalent of $20,000 today) the high price kept it from becoming a huge success. Despite it sounding and looking incredible, fewer than 400 Project G's were made. It was promoted by Frank Sinatra, Hugh Hefner, Oscar Peterson and other celebrities and found a niche within Hollywood and other trendsetters popping up on the sets of such movies as The Graduate, The Party and Zabriskie Point.Clairtone's co-founder, Peter Munk once quipped that, "The prime minister had one and if the local truck driver didn't have one, he wanted one."

    The Killing

    Funny you should be talking about yet another adaptation. Joanne tasked me with finding the original Danish version with English subtitles, as it was a suprise hit in the UK, even with subtitles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Killing_(Danish_TV_series)#UK_success . There was even (manufactured) outrage in some quarters oven the accuracy of the translation, and the resulting inflated F count. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2062937/BBC-crackdown-F-word-subtitles-hit-The-Killing-team-mistranslates-mild-Danish-expletives.html

  23. Steve, by using Season, I assume you are referring to the US Version of the show http://www.nbc.com/who-do-you-think-you-are/ Which, like many seemingly new ideas on US TV, is an adaptation of the UK version http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007t575 now in its 8th series. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Do_You_Think_You_Are%3F_(British_TV_series) One of the usual suspects said "I'm the product of 200 years of interbreeding - I'm surprised I haven't got one eye!
