I've been on a kick of watching "first time viewing" videos lately, including Star Trek movies. Right now I'm listening to one of The Voyage Home, featuring the whales George and Gracie...
PNQ: What stars of the past do you get sad about thinking that future generations won't know of them? I mean, young people today already don't know that George Burns and Gracie Allen existed. Recently I watched a first time reaction to The Muppet Movie, and the same principle applies. Milton Berle was huge for decades, but in the end people will only know him from that movie. Edgar Bergen is forgotten, Richard Pryor will only be remembered in niche circles because of Superman III and The Wiz, even Orson Welles is forgotten outside of niche circles (and hardcore Transformer fans).
