The Eiffel Tower at the Paris Hotel seems tall, but it is only half as tall as the real Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower in Paris France is as tall as the Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas.

Reply to TIL Shaquille O'Neil released a string of commercially successful rap albums in the 90s, with his debut certified platinum. His most recent musical release is 2017 diss track toward LeVar Ball, father of NBA point guard Lonzo Ball; in 2021 he performed a set in Las Vegas as DJ DIESEL. by MustacheEmperor
Strait Playin' was popular in the LA area in 1996. And not a bad song. Having Nate Dogg on it probably helped.

Reply to comment by getmybehindsatan in TIL During the 20th century TV series that reached 100 episodes were generally preferred for syndication, since that meant stations could run 20 weeks of programming without repeating a story. In recent years that number has fallen to 88 episodes. by UndyingCorn
The clip episode is the worst. Nothing new, no plot development. The definition of a filler episode.

British television seasons have traditionally been this way.

In America, if you are over 50 and have a doctor's referral Medicare covers a Fecal Occult Blood Test every 12 months. It's free.

I second St Elsewhere! I love Dave Grusin themes.

Reply to comment by Dragonfly452 in TIL that actor Red Foxx was only 49 when he starred in Sandford & Son. He wore makeup to look older. by SaltyDogBill
Steptoe is much darker than Sanford. It also has an unforgettable theme song that gets in your head like an earworm. Some of the Sanford and Son shows were redone Steptoe stories Americanized.
