RIP: Gregory Sierra
You may not recall his name, but Gregory was a frequent guest or recurring cast member in my SitComs I grew up with. The main one was Barney Miller as a detective who had to live with killing a suspect in … Continue reading
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
The Muppet Show returns via Disney+
The Evil Entertainment Empire will finally let this beloved syndicated show out of the vault and of course the big question…what took so long? Emperor Mickey fell through on the last two seasons on DVD over a decade ago plus … Continue reading
Disenchantment shirt that’s overdue
In honor of Disenchantment‘s third season kicking off this weekend, I finally remembered to post a good shirt someone made via TeePublic. I need to do some more research to see if any more gear has been made of this show. … Continue reading

RIP Tanya Roberts
It’s a pisser that Tanya passed with some embarrassment, first she’s dead, then she’s and oh wait, she’s dead. Well, I want to give Tanya some dignity via my site even if it borders on minuscule in the grand scheme … 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
My Crow(bot) arrived!
After a couple months of waiting and waiting and other crap I don’t want to talk about, Crow finally arrived. He needed a little assembling which was really easy but I guarantee you, this puppet is 99% like the one … 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
