"One of the benefits of retirement and possessing a Roku-capable television set is that I get to binge-watch the complete runs of TV series I remember fondly. Over the last two years, I have completed viewing the following runs, roughly in the order…"
"It was easy for a cartoonist to get a deferment during WWII as they were deemed necessary for morale at home, but I know that Chester Gould depicted a Service Star flag flying in a window in wartime Dick Tracy for his brother Ray, who served."
"I know you were asking Kelvin, but for my part I just watched it. The distinction between a gold star flag and a blue star (one or more stars) flag is something that I became aware of during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, when it was publicized to…"

"DEAD CITY: Just as Heroes did not rebound from the writers' strike, TWD has not rebounded from the pandemic. Besides, aspects of this show are just too close to home now."
"In 1958, Andy Griffith played funny, disruptive characters in two military comedies (Onionhead and No Time for Sergeants). In 1957, he had played a political monster in his first movie, A Face in the Crowd. They were smart to change Sheriff Taylor…"
""DANNY MEETS ANDY GRIFFITH" - This is the episode of The Danny Thomas Show that served as the pilot for The Andy Griffith Show. Surprisingly (to me, anyway), Sheriff Taylor is portrayed as a crooked small town cop who tries to bilk Danny for $100…"
"The first two seasons (the ones with Chuck) were single-camera, except for a couple of experiments with a live audience. Once they went to a live audience / three-camera deal, they had to change the interiors."

Hope it's a good one.
