All trick questions, Cnd! No wonder I do so badly!

I have no idea who Redd Foxx is, but assuming he's an American tv star then it's crap. If he's from another country then it could be true. But unlikely. Ok, I'll just stick with crap whatever :-).

Crap. I say the first interracial kiss was on that show with George and Wheezie and the inter-racial couple that lived upstais. This could be shorter if I remembered the name of the show.

is a klingon when a bra sticks to the outside of my sweater when it comes out of the dryer and i wear it to the grocery store?

do you all remember a year or two back where there was a serious ad for someone to speak klingon for a psyche dept in (i think it was) seattle? they had a couple of patients who only spoke klingon!

A Fabulous Friday to you FoCers! I've discovered that my new computer, although much more powerful than my existing computer, is also a LOT bigger, so I've been trying to rearrange things in my office. ACK! But enough about me!

Yesterday's question:

Was Redd Foxx the first man to utter "hell" and engage in an interracial kiss on prime-time television?"

First, as we've discovered before, this Calendar has a definite U.S. leaning, so yes, we are talking about U.S. television here. :-)

Well, this was a slam dunk! EVERY ONE OF YOU said bc

Most of you thought the first to do these things on American TV was Captain Kirk in Star Trek. But there were a few votes for other shows, too, including The Jeffersons (George and 'Weezy'), Julia, and All in the Family (Archie Bunker).

Well, folks, y'all are up on your TV trivia!

It's CRAP! "William Shatner was the first to do both on the sci-fi hit series 'Star Trek.' His character, Captain Kirk, kiissed Nichelle Nichols (Lt. Nyota Uhura) on the 'Plato's Children' episode and said, 'Let's get the hell out of here,' in the episode entitled, 'City on the Edge of Forever.'"

While Sanford and Son was a fun show and Redd Foxx certainly pushed a lot of envelopes, he doesn't get the credit for this bit of trivia. :-)

Prisonerno6 definitely knows her Star Trek trivia! So, here, for your viewing pleasure. ..

Of interest is the fact that they never really kissed. Camera angles were used to make it appear they did. It is hard to believe such things caused just 30+ years ago (original air date 11-22-68) isn't it?

"City on the Edge of Forever" is always a top fan-favorite episode and featured Joan Collins as Kirk's love interest. It originally aired on 4-6-67.

Imagine how the TV sensors back then would feel about what is said on air every day now? EEK!


Okay, so let's see if you know anything about THIS one!

The first European travelers in a hot-air balloon were an English lord and two Italian scientists.

FACT or CRAP? You decide!

Fact. The English lord had to put up plenty of pounds to get to go.
