#1 What does the BBC know about cool? All they know is how to compose biased information, a tactic that they are using to great advantage here.

Any list of "the top 10 most" whatever is subject to great scrutiny whenever it appears. The biases of the list composers are on full display. You might as well get a Grammy or Oscar award, they're just about the same thing.

#3 Secret Agent -- Coolest theme music ever
Mission: Impossible -- Cool, clever spies
Twilight Zone -- being a Zone afficianado is cool
Jonny Quest -- Coolness for those under 15. (I had a crush on Race Bannon's girlfriend Jade at age 7.)

#4 I'm an Ernie Kovacs man, myself. Funniest routine I've ever seen was when he played a real estate agent showing a house. On a hill. During an earthquake.

#5 The Avengers as #1? Unquestionably correct.

#11 Marlin Perkins was tight with chainey and made Jim do all the work. I remembe Marlin watching from a helicopter as Jim wrastled with an anaconda at the end of the tussle Marlin sez "We've got him!"
By the way Mutual of Omaha is dominated by bilderbergers.

#13 Actually, Shipman, it was after Marlin dang near got drug into a river and squished by an Anaconda that he started staying in the chopper and letting Jim wrestle the various beasties...

Never get off the boat, man...
