I love Storefront Hitchcock from top to bottom, but it earned my adoration simply by introducing the song "1974" to the world, which features one of my favorite lyrics of all time:

I watched many an hour of Night Flight, although whenever it's mentioned, the first thing that always leaps to mind is that it was the first place I ever saw this video: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

Between We Got It Made and My Tutor, '83 was a great year for 13-year-old boys who had a thing for unattainable blondes with large breasts…so, y'know, it was a good year for all 13-year-old boys, basically.

If this was 1977 Week, you'd be knee-deep in my treatise on why, as a child, the sitcom Quark was as meaningful to me as Star Wars. My love for short-lived TV shows is a strong, strong love.

If you think the person who stumbles upon the secrets to time travel will not be well versed in all eight episodes of Manimal, sir, I question your familiarity with the scientific community.

Holy shit, Will Harris. You're fucking old.

Something something "Gimme Some Tooth."

There is Manimal yet to come in 1983 Week. Not much, but an appearance is definitely forthcoming. Keep your eyes open…

Without scouring the 'net, I can only confirm that, yes, Nightman was definitely based on a comic book. But both the TV series and Manimal were executive-produced by Glen A. Larson, hence the crossover.

You laugh, sir, but there was indeed a Manimal crossover episode many years later…with Night Man!

I really wanted to ask him about Patty Hearst - there just wasn't enough time - but mostly because of Frances Fisher's comment on the film in her Random Roles: "I remember going in to audition for Paul Schrader, and we were waiting for Bill Forsythe to show up… and he never did!"

It was a long time coming, to be sure. Glad it seems to have been worth the wait. :-)

It almost literally took a year for me to finish the interview: we started it in the summer of 2012, when he was promoting The Mob Doctor, and we finished it a few months ago when he came to Virginia Beach for a horror festival. In that time, both The Mob Doctor and his character on Boardwalk Empire were killed off.…

I'm slowly but surely working my way through the cast list for this feature. Jack Warden's out of play, sadly, but at least I've gotten Christopher Lloyd and Treat Williams, both of whom I really wanted to talk to longer than I did.

Either way, I should've caught it, but it was Forsythe. I'll put in the fix request now…

I'll be honest: this post made my heart soar.

Even though - as @avclub-9f6228ec13fda94d7e48533c4ac90486:disqus noted - the error has been repaired, I'm just going to go ahead and pack my things. :::runs off sobbing:::

Yes, it did. And thanks to this mention, I asked if my error - which I blame on the fact that I wrote the piece on the heels of a redeye flight - could be repaired, which it was.  My apologies for this egregious error, and before you ask, yes, I was flogged for my transgression.

On a Pale Horse was one of the first non-kid-oriented sci-fi/fantasy books I ever read, which may or may not be why I remember it so fondly, but I definitely recall thinking that Dead Like Me owed Piers Anthony some royalties when I heard about the premise of that show.

Now I have more reasons to feel awful that I haven't had the money to pick it up yet. Hooray! (Good thing my birthday's coming up…)
