It's pretty amazing. I've been showing the kids I sit for GAH and the 8 year old girl really loves, and I mean LOVES Bill. She has DL'ed pixs of him onto her computer. Now don't get me wrong, I love Bill too (but I love Ralph more) but she's 8. That man has Karazzma. It's funny cause she gets all excited as soon as he pops up on the screen. She love it when he flips his badge. I have ti admit I'm flabbergasted. I think it's cause she's 8, but ...wow.Well at least she's starting out on a gr8 show.

Another recruit for Bill's Army Sounds like the little darlin' has great taste! I've got a great visual from your description - I think billswoman would agree it sounds hauntingly familiar And good on you for spoiling them for good TV so early in their lives... when you think of the alternatives for kids today [shudder] - they're lucky to have a woman of such refined tastes around!

sure, i was crushing hard on characters already at 8 yrs old, but certainly not Bill Maxwell! Maybe Kelly Robinson, lol! Naw, I Spy was already here and gone by the time i was 8. Mom was crushing hard on Robert Culp, however, and I can't say I blame her either! She was so tickled when I started going on and on about him and Bill Maxwell; that's when I learned more about Kelly Robinson. And Maverick. Two VERY handsome men!

Yeah, we talked about that - me and my best friend in high school were culp-crazy from the start, but not everyone appreciates the magic that is Bill at first sight What Ms Boku is describing sounds less like a crush than an early indication of a true fan - someone who can appreciate the joys of the slightly off-center! Ms Boku, she may be ready for some other eighties classics soon - may I recommend the second greatest movie of all time - Big Trouble in Little China? If she likes Bill, she's sure to get a kick out of Jack Burton!

I have always liked the Bill Maxwell character...and Pam of course...but Ralph has never been one of my favorites for some reason. I think he played the part well, but I just never got to enjoy his character...except sporadically. Maybe this is why I can't vote on the favorite character thread...I like too many of them...

I don't dislike any of the characters, not even Carlisle, which is fortunate; some shows I refuse to watch because of just one or two characters. There's a lot I like about Ralph, and some things about him I find irritating (like Bill would, lol), I just like Bill better, that's all. Pam, on the most part, is a great character, but her jealousy gets a little tiresome. And let's face it, she's a real b in "This is the one the suit was meant for." LIke someone said, Oh, boo hoo, your boyfriend was off helping his partner nab some bad guys and free some people stuck in a safe and missed sweet'um's dinner party, WAAHHHHHHHHH!

Oh and I take it that if Bill Maxwell was never there for you and always standing you up that you would be fine with it. Besides, she is written that way...that is not how she is. Her jealousy is tiresome, which is why you know those episodes were written by men or at least edited by them because they all want to believe that all women want them.

I just created this test. Please visit and take it, and let me know how lame it was. Everything I ask has been discussed in some form on this board, or else should be painfully obvious to any REAL Maxwell Maniac! (Speaking of which, I'll add who suggested Maxwell Maniac and Hinkley Homey to the test... wasn't it MrsM? I did a search and didn't find the originating post suggesting it. Let me know and I'll be happy to give kudos for the term.) I guess the link is good to add, right? www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=12878699045911698305Y'all want so much. Yes, I'm quoting myself. Why? Because after all this time, only THREE PEOPLE have taken this test! C'mon, go for it my fellow Maniacs! G'won, g'won, give it a go!

Bill Maxwell could kick the crap out of the entire "A-team" with one hand tied behind his back! Bill rules and kicks ass. 'nuff said. End of conversation.

I think it's from the pilot episode, since that's the only one I know of that he carries a rifle. I really like the neon glow on it though, MrsM. Seems like you have the most luck with these photoshop techniques. Only one of mine that's worked is the weird fireworks. Used contour on it, and it turned out nice (well, the second one).

Question 3 was in regards to Bill kicking the collective butt of the A-Team. I wasn't sure if MrsM was responding to something previous from another's post, that I might've missed.

Oh, sorry (again), billswoman. (I really need to quit answering these questions.) I tend to be too literal. I agree, there are times where the GAH group could beat the A-Team, so it might have been a response to HD again.

Ok, that's about enough of the v-word discussion! Talk about "like chewing tinfoil" - it's not even worthy of our attention [shudder]. ANYWAYS! Here's a fun shot - the team in action: [Jimmy Olsen is off-screen fetching coffee ]

LOL, that's one of my very favorite scenes from that ep. I love, "And the price is right! Hold it! Freeze your face!" then a bit later, when Pam yells "Hold it! Freeze your face!" and Bill doubles over laughing, lol!
Yep, "Divorce...." still has my "best three scenes from Season Three" award. Hmmm, maybe I've got to re-watch S3, but I doubt any will beat this episode.

Hey, either one's fine by me, but I AM a maniac for Maxwell, after all!
But I dig guns, like my man Bill does, so Bill's Army works for me.
I saw mrsmaxwell and silverhammer in this morning with me. We need to start our own Bill Maxwell Koffee Klatch some day, over in Yahoo somewhere. Sadly, we can't make our own rooms there any longer, but we can conference in I think (my son can tell me how, if y'all don't know).
I'm sasunnach9 on there. Or, if AIM is better, I can put it back on my machine. I'm billswoman9 there (for some reason, billswoman was already taken, the hag).
