you have a legitimate point (and I agree)...and I like how you put that little twist in your second post with "well it doesnt MATTER, that wasnt the point"

(I really do)

And nobody had, meaning that figuratively instead of literally. Just like I can say, "Nobody's ever heard of Daniel Craig." Of course somebody has somewhere, but I didn't mean literally no human being on this planet ever heard of him. It's called idiom. I'm sure you must have understood that much, so I'll stop explaining the English language to you now.

Now if I'd found hundreds of people who heard of Pierce Brosnan before 1995 instead of a few people on an internet message board dedicated to pop entertainment, I'd have a lot of egg on my face. But anyway, moving on...

Remington Steele was a big hit though, a main show in the network lineups.....

It was on before i was born and ive know about it ( and i dont consider myself considerably knowledgeable about pop culture).

Actually, Remington Steele was such a hit that Brosnan was supposed to be Bond before Timothy Dalton, but had signed a long term contract with the network for more seasons of Steele.

I know that my parent;s generation were well aware of Brosnan before Bond and even I was. C'mon Xanny, you got caught and are trying to skillfully talk your way out of it. Just admit it

Its actually funny that this has become a big "gotcha" game, but I'm having a wonderful time with it.

Man, I do not approve.

And whatever happened to Jude Law? I would have preferred him.

Ewan McGregor would've been my first choice.

I think Jude Law is a little too slight for the role, but I do think his acting chops would be up to it. I LOVED him in I Heart Huckabees. Bond needs to be suave and debonair, but he also needs that rugged athletic side to him.

Jude Law just as Bond would give any validity to the "judo chops".
