Anybody been watching this miniseries? It's about this guy who finds a key that, when inserted to any door, opens to a hotel room where something horrible happened in 1961. You can then leave the room to go to any destination on Earth you want to. If you put something in the room, shut the door, and use the key to open it again, the room "resets" itself and the item disappears. I think the series could become about waste removal. Think of the money you could make on that! (Photo copyright The Sci-Fi Channel, 2006.)

Sounds like one of those items you'd find for sale in that creepy store from the "Friday the 13th" tv show that was on back in the 80's.
Actually the show is a lot like that. Everything that was in the room at the time of the "event" when taken out has this weird trait to it. And when they are combined they have other traits. "The comb" makes you disappear for 10 seconds and time stop around you. "The Pencil" makes pennies. "The Watch" cooks eggs. There are these cults that go around collecting the items. The main character lost his daughter in the room, so he is trying to find the right combo to get her back.
I've never seen the show, but was the "something horrible" that happened in 1961 the decision to denote Roger Maris's 61 home runs with an asterisk so that it was separate from Babe Ruth's record of 60? I mean, it truly was a horrible occurrence for Maris, who, as he neared Babe's record, had to endure from ungrateful fans peltings of asterisks cut out of books and magazines (almost all of which were taken by the breeze swirling through the Yankee Stadium bleachers long before they ever got near Maris).
Yeah, I can see Maris's travails as the basis for a show about a portal to an alternate universe.
Well, tonight is the conclusion, but I think the "something horrible" is Bea Arthur pole dancing.
"Bea Arthur pole dancing"

THE GOGGLES! THEY DO NOTHING!
"Bea Arthur pole dancing"?
And then there's that old wrinkled thighs'n, I'd rather have styes'n, just the thought makes me cries'n....Right on, Maude!
Hey, it couldn't be worse than the Star Wars Christmas Special that also starred her. Art Carney still playing Norton but now with Stormtroopers. Makes me wonder what The Honeymooners would have been like with Stormtroopers.
