Like all TV shows, it was good for the first couple of years, and after that surfed on its own shtick for 1 or 2 years too much.
I'd rather be phishing!

Tell that to the Dr. Who people.

Don't get me started. I can't be the only one who can't get into it--even the actors won't even commit to it for more than what, 3-4 years each?

As Billie Piper said to Jeremy Clarkson: "It was two years in Cardiff!"

Well you could say that about most TV shows, Shirley! There aren't many Ellen Pompeo's in the world! Even rampant successes like ER have usually shed most of the original cast by its fifth year. Dr Who is at least unique among eponymously titled shows in not having to end altogether just because the lead actor wants out.

For that argument to valid, you'd have to compare it with other shows that have been on TV for 50 years.

There aren't any apart from soaps and they don't have lead characters as such to compare with (that is to say the production doesn't collapse if an actor needs an extended holiday or a break for illness for example). Nevertheless there is still a high turnover of the kind of actors who might have bigger and better things to come. Let's face it. You don't become an actor to play the same part for the rest of your life any more than an artist paints the same picture over and over again.

Apparently Keith Richards just released an album titled Cross-eyed Heart.
Has he ever released a solo album before?
It's an interesting mix of blues, rock, ballad and almost pop music.
Most of the time Keith Richards sounds like Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits fame, though, in my opinion, not as good.
Track #1 Cross-eyed Heart is true blues style with interesting acoustic blues guitar
Track #2 Heartstopper - almost pop
Track #3 Amnesia -- a cheap rhyme using a lyric about "...Titanic sank."
Track #5 Trouble -- probably my favorite
Track #7 Nothing On Me -- sounds a lot like Tom Petty
Track #9 Blues In the Morning - sounds a bit like Brian Setzer (Stray Cats)
Track #11 Illusion - ballad, a bit too slow for my tastes.
Track #11 Just A Gift - sounds a bit like David Bowie
Many more tracks -- almost an entire hour of music in the collection.
Cross-eyed Heart by Keith Richards - listen at amazon[^]

I was reading the article about Talk Is Cheap and I see on the album cover he was wearing that same skull ring and what looks like the same chain bracelet as he has on in the new album cover and yet that one is from 1988.
Shew... think about a bit of change there, ay?
Also, every time Keith Richards is photographed it seems he has a cigarette in his hand. The surgeon general should probably have him tattoo a warning on his forehead.

Haven't figured how, but SPELUNKING is worth a shot.

SPELUNKING is the answer!
So you are up tomorrow.
You are very close on the solution as well.
Rotated SPUN
royal KING
holds the point E
and Libian capital L
when she goes caving
SPELUNKING
The "she" was to persuade people to try "ER" instead of "KING", and "L" is the capital letter of "Libia" - I was trying to get you to think of "TRIPOLI" and anagrams of "ERTRIPOLIE" instead of a direct substitution!

Strange. It gave me loads of maps...but you are right, I should have spelled it with a "Y"...
