Here’s to the future that was!

Posted on March 1, 2021 by Steve

One of my favorite Adult Swim shows from the initial launch is March’s header. I held off celebrating the crew’s misadventures to now because a vaccine rollout (January) and Chinese New Year (February) were more pressing…or would it be relevant. If … Continue reading →

Farewell Larry Flynt

Posted on February 10, 2021 by Steve

Honestly. I hadn’t thought about Flynt in years and could’ve sworn he died earlier since he had been “quiet” throughout Orange Foolius’ reign. I was never a fan of his publication(s), strip clubs or brand in general because they were … Continue reading →

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 Hank Aaron

Posted on January 24, 2021 by Steve

I was only nuts about baseball for several years as a kid but I’ve always known about Hank Aaron, the guy who beat Babe Ruth’s longstanding home run record. I don’t care if Barry Bonds allegedly holds it, there’s a … Continue reading →

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 →

Posted on January 8, 2021 by Steve

 Hard to believe the Thin White Duke has been gone five years. For the fifth anniversary of his passing, I’m reposting this cartoon my friend Mark M sent me. It’s a comical take on the song Bowie wrote with … Continue reading →

RIP Tanya Roberts

Posted on January 5, 2021 by Steve

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 →

1979: How did I miss this TV show?

Posted on December 12, 2020 by Steve

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

Posted on December 5, 2020 by Steve

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 Sean Connery

Posted on October 31, 2020 by Steve

2020 just couldn’t take a break could it, can’t let us enjoy a limited Halloween and have a little pause before the shitstorm election. I know Sean was 90ish yet I didn’t know he had been ill recently. I’m glad … Continue reading →

RIP: Helen Reddy & Mac Davis

Posted on October 4, 2020 by Steve

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 →
