Peter Tork from the Monkees had a strange little quirk. Sometimes, when other actors were delivering their lines Tork would unthinkingly mouth their dialogue along with them, as seen in this YouTube compilation. Once you spot it, it makes the show (which was already kinda weird) weird in a whole new way.

This significant prop, accompanied by its original case, carries an estimate of $250,000 to $500,000 dollars. Also due to go under the hammer at Propstore auction house in Los Angeles next month is the Fenwick fishing rod with reel, used by Shaw's character, Quint, in his encounter with the ferocious shark. The rod is estimated to sell for between $75,000 and $150,000 dollars.

The Science Museum is boldly going where no science museum has (probably) gone before, opening a season of Star Trek events that beam sci-fi imagination straight into the realm of real science. To mark Star Trek's 60th anniversary, the Science Museum will launch several months of events with a late-evening opening of the museum for adults next month. The museum late takes place on Thursday 26th March, and will feature a range of Star Trek themed events throughout the evening.

Does a gorilla playing the drums along to Phil Collins mean anything to you? What about surfers that turn into horses as they're riding the waves? Or a fisherman boxing with a bear over some salmon? Those are just a few of the most iconic adverts to have graced our TV screens over the last five decades. And soon, you'll be able to see them on a humungous scale.

What's more rare than the first issue of Action Comics, the comic book that introduced the world to Superman? How about this: a copy of Superman's first comic book appearance which was once owned by an actor who almost (depending on how you feel about the film The Flash) played Superman on screen. The Man of Steel made his first appearance in the first issue of Action Comics; that issue, printed in 1938, is now a collectors' item.

My father kept manuals for products we hadn't owned in years, filed alphabetically in a cabinet. When I asked why, he looked at me like I'd suggested burning money. "What if we need to look something up?" The concept of finding any manual online in seconds just doesn't compute for a generation that had to rely on these paper lifelines.

We might be exposed to more ads and commercials today than ever before in human history, but the idea of advertising itself is certainly not a new concept. According to Instapage, the first signs of advertisements actually appeared in ancient Egyptian steel carvings from 2000 BC. Meanwhile, the first printed ad was published in 1472, when William Caxton decided to advertise a book by posting flyers on church doors in England.

The traditional museum experience, pausing in front of an object, and absorbing its history visually or by reading its description, has long shaped how collectors and others relate to cultural treasures. Yet, over the last few decades, digital technology has quietly rewritten many of those rules, changing not only how collections are exhibited but also how they are documented, preserved, and even inherited.

It's nice that you are asking about props, because they're not really acknowledged, says Jode Mann, a TV prop master in Los Angeles. When Mann worked on the children's comedy show Pee-wee's Playhouse in the 1980s, she got a call from its star, Paul Reubens, who said he was nominating her for an Emmy. It was only after Mann told her mother and promised to thank her if she won that Reubens called back to say he couldn't nominate her because there's no category for you.

If you miss the days of Saturday morning cartoons, you might want to go ahead and download the free Tubi app. In a recent announcement, the ad-supported streaming service said it is kicking off its "cartoon era" on March 1, adding more than 100 classic cartoons you can watch for free. The service already has an extensive collection of retro cartoons, but it's about to get a lot bigger.

The 83rd annual Golden Globes will air on CBS and Paramount+ on Sunday night. Photos taken throughout the event's long history show Hollywood icons celebrating together. From Marilyn Monroe to Marlon Brando, every big star has been in attendance.

At only 357 pieces, it's technically designed for ages 9 and up. But don't let the small size and kid-friendly assembly fool you; it's still packed with details. You can also build the car two ways: either as the DeLorean from the original movie or the flying version with sideways wheels. Either way, the vehicle has a time calculator, rear air vents-and, of course, the flux capacitor. Can't time travel without that.

Weddings are a major plot point on TV, often taking place in season and series finales. So Business Insider rounded up the best and worst wedding dresses on television. We loved gowns from "Gossip Girl" and "Friends," but the "How I Met Your Mother" dresses didn't impress.

The original closing date for the Museum of Brands' exhibition devoted to all things Gerry and Sylvia Anderson has been affected by a critical systems failure! After an emergency consultation between Tracy Island and Moonbase Alpha, a new flight plan has been authorised. Revised mission duration: now extended to 18th April 2026. Commander Koenig has confirmed there is no need to evacuate the gallery, Professor Bergman says the data is "far too valuable to abandon," and Doctor Russell has ruled out premature closure.

We obviously grew up together and spent a lot of time on camera together, she said. To not have that for 20 years and work with different people and have all these different experiences, and then come back together? Oh my god, I remember how much I know you on camera and you know me on camera.' It's so special, and it was so much fun because we work really well together.

For multiple generations of Americans, Johnny Carson is closely linked with the concept of home. Whether his name conjures fuzzy memories of drifting off to the quiet soundtrack of television static and a parent's laughter, or brings to mind tuning in to hear his take on the news after a long work day, many remember Carson as a nightly ritual.

Mum and dad bought a Vidor TV for the coronation in 1953. We used to watch the Television Newsreel on Saturday evening I was fascinated by the start, which was the BBC revolving round the Alexandra TV tower. I think this (together with listening to the shipping forecast on the radio) is what sparked my lifelong obsession with radio! It is still with me 70+ years later. Phil Holliday, 78, New Zealand

There isn't a weak link in the cast and they work together as seamlessly and apparently joyfully as you could wish. Jokes come thick and fast Andre Braugher and Terry Crews in Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Photograph: Fox/Getty Images The jokes come thick and fast, the tone is perfectly pitched, the occasional emotional moment well done, and it rarely strikes a false note. You can watch it again and again and be delighted every time.
