That wouldn’t shock me at all, simply because I, A-can’t imagine anyone wanting to contribute money to build it, and B-there is no way that Trump would allow unfettered access to his papers in any way, state or form.

I remember that Johnny Carson every so often would tell a snarky Fred Rogers joke. Until Rogers appeared on his program. I happened to catch it the night it ran, and you could tell inside of a minute that Carson was absolutely charmed and impressed by him. After that, I never heard a Fred Rogers joke on the Tonight…

Last Man Standing is coming back to Fox this fall. And while it made Disney a ton of money, it didn’t make them enough, which is why they cancelled it. Allen’s moaning about it being axed due to it having a conservative character in it got on my last nerve, as he knew it was a economic decision, and not a political…

Shouldn’t that be Martin Mull and Fred Willard? Though McKean would be fine.

Also, next season should be helmed by those two savvy director/producers from Philadelphia, Mac & Dennis. It should be an easy shoot, as they’ll be working with Mac’s cousin, Country Mac.

Fun with trivia. Lopez’s character broke his neck because he was talking with Frank Sinatra about his being unhappy about his salary. Sinatra told him to ask for a raise, as they’d already begun shooting, and what could they do? Write his character out of the film, is what.

I always thought that George Clooney would have been perfect in a big screen reboot of the “Batman-1966" series, playing the role with his tongue firmly in cheek.

This history left out the best line about The Muppets’ time on Saturday Night Live. Michael O’Donoghue absolutely despised them, and stated, “I won’t write for felt.”

The other great comment about The Muppets time on Saturday Night Live was by Michael O’Donoghue, who despised them. “I won’t write for felt.”

I’m still marvelling at what a piece of crap his film, “Religulous” was.

I remember the reaction that Paul’s playing “Temporary Secretary” got when he started playing it live a few years ago. Similar to the Rolling Stones doing “Emotional Rescue” live, as they’d never done it live before.

I remember learning in an European Intellectual History course in college, that Tsarist Russia pretty much banned any book that would challenge the status quo, but one book slid under the radar. Marx’s Captial, as the censors dubbed it, “A dry, academic work,” and gave it a pass.

The man “resembled a thief?” That reminds me of the line in the film version of “In Cold Blood” where the detectives are reading all the tips they had recieved aloud, and tip was “I saw a foreigner run.” The officer’s reply, “How does a foreigner run?”

Maybe that was a backdoor pilot, disguised as an episode of the Cosby Show? IIRC, was that the one where Theo went to college, and Adam Sandler was one of his friends/roommates?

I vaguely remember Ozzie’s Girls. IIRC, it was syndicated and the fact that Ozzie Nelson was suffering from Liver Cancer at the time were the other contributing factors to it’s demise. The first was, it wasn’t that good.

I prefer The River to the single 1979 disc that Bruce submitted to CBS, and changed his mind about releasing, as he felt that it didn’t cover what he wanted to do, and went back into the studio.

Like George Martin said about the Beatles’ “White Album,” I’ve always believed that there is a great single album spread across Lucky Town and Human Touch.

Elvis Costello also worked as a “solo” artist during this period, and unlike Springsteen, who mainly used LA session musicians, Costello worked with such people as Roger McGuinn, James Burton, Benmont Tench, Mark Ribot, and so on. The results showed, as I found Costello’s solo period more interesting than…

Phillip Seymour Hoffman and John C. Reilly also alternated roles nightly in their Broadway production of “True West.”

I read in a recent article about the networks rebooting old series, that Fox’s best choice would be “Married With Children,” but the author stated that the main problem with that is the availability and interest of Ed O’Neill and Katie Sagal.
