"I remember watching Ben, the movie sequel to Willard, and learning that the kid in the movie had his singing dubbed by Michael Jackson. If Ben was a friend to the kid, he wasn't to anyone else."
"To be fair, there is a legitimate question of whether Christian and Islamic conceptions of the God of Abraham should be treated as one and the same.On the other hand, far as I know "Allah" is both the preferred name for the Islamic take on the idea…"
"Michael Jackson: The Verdict (2026): three-hour doc series. While not as overtly damning as the 2003 Martin Bashir doc, it’s difficult to watch this and not conclude that he was guilty, but found not-guilty on the grounds of wealth and celebrity. It…"
"He gets presented as a wise and respectful man, and he refers to God as "Allah."
There was a recent brouhaha when an Arabic translation of the Christian Bible (presumably for Coptic Christians) correctly translated God as Allah."

"BEWITCHED - Season Two:
The second season features a jazzy new arrangement of the opening theme. Gone are the glissandi and trills of the flutes, and so different is the arrangement I had a hard time at first getting used to it. after watching…"

As a youngster, I…"
"My slow and selective re-watch of Route 66 arrives at... three selected episodes left. I just watched "A Long Way from St. Louis," the show's Canadian ep. The title is prescient. Sure, they're in Toronto, and we get a helicopter tour of the city,…"
"SUPERMAN: I have gained a new appreciation for the first season of The Adventures of Superman TV show. I have decided to continue on into season two for as long as I can stand it. Because FETV broacasts only two episodes per week, I have been…"
"While we thought the beginning wasn't his strongest, and the celebrity not-guests bit became tedious, the second half more than made up for it.
We also watched the final ep of The Boys, so it was a night of farewell programming.
We will miss…"
"MY THREE SONS - Season Three: We always enjoy spotting actors we know in guest roles. Tract wants credit for recognizing Raymond Bailey in S3 E32 before I did. In my own defense, he was bald and wearing a pair of horn-rimmed glasses. I had no idea…"
