The one thing I miss now that I have Dish TV is the Decades Cable channel, which runs all the incarnations of Dick Cavett’s talk shows.  If you have cable and can get the channel, do so.

The Reality Show was at the Benedum, and IIRC, a group called Supersonic opened for Bowie.  I found them boring, as versus Macy Gray, who opened for Bowie in Cleveland.  What was fun about that show was that Gray was from Canton, and her family and friends took up the first 3 or so rows, and you could tell they were…

As the late David E. Davis would write in both Car & Driver’s and Automobile’s “New Car Edition,” “Of course we need opera windows.  How could we attend the opera without them?”  

MeTV is great, isn’t it?  And if you keep watching after the shows you mentioned, you can see the great grandaddys of the police procedural program, “Highway Patrol” and the 1960's “Dragnet.”

I remember seeing David Bowie on his Reality Tour in Pittsburgh, and once it got to 11 O’Clock, about every other song, he would ask, “How are we doing on time?” referring to the curfew, which in Pittsburgh means that the police, teamsters, and other venue employees go in to “golden time,” which IIRC, is double their…

She pissed off a Pittsburgh audience a few years ago, when she hit the stage at 10:30, and wound up playing for an hour, as there is an 11:30 curfew that they take seriously.  Of course, the show was to start at 8, irritating the audience even more.

Anthony Jeselniks tweet about this news yesterday nailed it for me.  “As if today couldn’t get any worse.”

A&E ran David Letterman’s “Late Night” for a short time in the early 90's, before he left NBC. Letterman had no say in the deal, and he made his displeasure known, as he thought that the reruns brought down the ratings of the new programs, and editing the shows to an hour created extra work for his staff. IIRC, once…

I’m still waiting for either a Wheels & The Legman spinoff series, or a feature film.

IIRC, the reason Springsteen was inducted solo is that the first year he was eligible, he was signed to CBS/Columbia as Bruce Springsteen, and not Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. The only time the E Street Band recieves credit along with Springsteen is on official live releases.

So, who are going to play Dwight & Mamie Eisenhower in Mr & Mrs. Erotic American?

IIRC, it was either Daniel J. Travanti or Jack Lemmon that did the voiceover work in Honda’s car ads in the early 90's.

Whenever I travel, or around the holidays as we have it in the refrigerator, I take my coffee with half & half. I’ve tried to drink coffee with sugar, both black and with cream. I just don’t like the taste of coffee with sugar.

The sketch was a “Video Jeopardy” segment, that was supposed to have been taped before Cosby’s problems supernovaed, and involved him mixing drinks in the “Potent Potables” category, and Keenan would up playing Cosby.  According to Norm, Murphy just didn’t feel comfortable doing it, and said that it might look like…

Garlin did play a Weinstein like character on Law & Order CI, who had a columnist murdered, and managed to blame his wife for it.

I have since read that Barack Obama restored Secret Service to former presidents in 2013. I’m all for it, but remember at the time when it was rolled back to 10 years, there was a big deal made about the cost, as the main example give was that Lady Bird Johnson had received it since November of 1960.

I believe that the sitting president can make the call at to expansion/contraction of Secret Service protection. After JFK was killed, Lyndon Johnson assigned Secret Service protection to Jackie Kennedy and her children until they turned 18, as well as the former living presidents and their spouses, Herbert Hoover,…

But they may have to drive themselves eventually. IIRC, Bill & Hillary Clinton are the last presidential couple that will get lifetime Secret Service protection. Again, IIRC, there is now a 10 year post-presidency limit to the protection.

I still remember when Norm and David Spade were guests on Miller’s HBO show, for it’s 100th episode. Norm and Miller gave Spade no end of grief during the show, and Spade just sat there with a deer in the headlights look, as he was being verbally pummelled. I would imagine that part of that look was for effect, and…

I couldn’t help myself, and addressed one particular MAGA dingbat who crowed about the low box office for Western Stars, pointing out that, A-Not many concert films make huge money at the box office, and B-The eventual DVD, BluRay, streaming, cable, and soundtrack albums will be spinning revenue forever.  As I didn’t…
