RIP: Mira Furlan

More people know her from Lost, another boring-ass, disappointing JJ Abrams shit show. The rest of us will forever love her as Ambassador Delenn on Babylon 5, the Sci-Fi program which had consequences and real intrigue while the other two Star Trek shows … Continue reading

RIP: Dawn Wells

I thought Dawn was the last cast member to pass away but Tina Louise (Ginger) is alive and well in New York. That’s good. It’s still sad to lose Dawn thanks to her being the iconic Mary Ann which gives … Continue reading

Not a spoiler re: The Mandalorian, just a fact

Friday’s finale for season two was the only good thing to come of Disney trying to own everything and get their $4 billion back from Lucas. Well that and Abrams’ general body of work is crap and overrated.

1979: How did I miss this TV show?

It was probably for the best. Mom would’ve cockblocked me from watching this because she always had a strong hatred for everything involving Hugh Hefner. Since it aired in late 1979, I would’ve protested or made the pitch to see … Continue reading

RIP David Lander

To my generation, he was Squiggy on Laverne & Shirley. Whenever the show needed that comedic answer to “what else could happen?” you’d hear his signature “hello,” as he and Lenny (Michael McKean) entered Laverne and Shirley’s basement apartment. I knew … Continue reading

RIP Alex Trebek

If there’s an afterlife, poor Alex is now being mobbed by a million senior citizens like my grandmother who religiously watched Jeopardy. That game show, her soaps and Lawrence Welk. It was just easier to hand her the remote than to argue. … Continue reading

1960: The Flintstones debut on ABC

This revelation is a week late because I’m not always on top of cartoon history but I thank The Guardian for having a thoughtful article about this watershed anniversary. By the time I was born, The Flintstones was syndicated and shown daily on … Continue reading

RIP: Helen Reddy & Mac Davis

These two singers and actors were staples for me growing up in the Seventies. It’s a shame they’re both gone and on the same day. Helen was more like Vicki Lawrence for me, an actress that sang but it was … Continue reading

Real-life Belchers to kick off the return of Bob’s Burgers

A pretty cute and cool portrait of America’s favorite, struggling burger-making family who return for I think their 11th season on Fox; I’m amazed it made it past four given that network’s preferences for crap because Family Guy debuts with its … Continue reading
