  1. That's how long Hart to Hart was on ABC: 1979-84, 5 seasons' worth, 110-111 episodes.
  2. KTRK ABC13 Houston: Nov. 1983 7 A.M. morning news promo "It's early morning, and the beat of Houston begins as Texans prepare to face a promising new day. And the friendly 7 A.M. Eyewitness News team makes it all just a little easier. You don't miss a thing because Sylvan Rodriguez has the overnight happenings while you slept. Whether it's work, school or pleasure, you can plan your day with Doug Brown's forecast. And getting you there on time is traffic reporter Don Nelson's job. The 7 A.M. 13 Eyewitness News team: the early morning heartbeat of Houston!"
  3. Same for me w/Susan Howard: she was on O-R Dallas on CBS from 1979-87 as Donna Culver Krebbs, but to me, she was better as Maggie Petrocelli in Petrocelli on NBC.
  4. After finishing all of that 1974-76 NBC legal series Petrocelli on DVD, I am ever the more convinced that Barry Newman will always and forever be defense lawyer Anthony J. Petrocelli to me; I'm not that sure that I would care for anything else that Newman did.
  5. You bet! It's one series I've gotten on DVD lately that I've seen from green flag (beginning) to checkered flag (end) (one of a select few), and the Petrocellis are just one reason why. Another reason is that the hometown backgrounds of the people who played the Petrocellis were brought quite often into the scripts, according to a recent book on Petrocelli by Sandra Grabman (Barry Newman originally being from Boston, and Susan Howard [born as Jeri Lynn Mooney] being from Marshall, TX). Here is that book on Petrocelli if you're interested: https://www.amazon.com/Petrocelli-Episode-Guide-Much-More/dp/1629332054/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1514931825&sr=8-1&keywords=Petrocelli+book
  6. Don't know if I said it here, but another one of my favorite television couples (besides Jonathan and Jennifer Hart) is Tony and Maggie Petrocelli (Barry Newman and Susan Howard), from the 1974-76 NBC legal series Petrocelli, for reasons unknown.
  7. That it would have been! Subsequent years will be her posthumous 82nd and 83rd, and so on.
  8. I got that CBS/Paramount all-in-one DVD of Vega$ (1978-81 ABC detective/adventure series w/the late Robert Urich), and after seeing the first several second-season episodes of that series, I'm beginning to think that I cannot see Robert Urich as anything beyond Dan Tanna.
  9. For all those in Buffalo who looked to Irv Weinstein as your favorite news anchor on WKBW Channel 7, ABC station of that area: thought you'd want to know that he just passed on of ALS; he was 87. http://buffalonews.com/2017/12/26/irv-weinstein-legendary-channel-7-anchor-has-died/ Also, right from WKBW's page: https://www.wkbw.com/news/remembering-irv-weinstein-a-buffalo-broadcasting-legend
  10. And he was on NBC's AFC NFL coverage w/Merlin Olsen, so I grew up around him that way as well.
  11. Dick Enberg, legendary NBC sportscaster, passes on at 82, possibly of a heart attack: http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/sd-sp-dick-enberg-death-obit-20171221-story.html Here he was on the 1981 Rose Bowl broadcast alongside the late Merlin Olsen (now, presumably, Dick and Merlin can call as many Rose Bowls and Super Bowls as they want now from heaven); screenshot captured from DVD of 1981 Rose Bowl
  12. Peter Pan peanut butter commercial blooper on Say When!! on NBC w/the late Art James, 1964
  13. Truth! Doesn't he realize how much of an effort it would be to wrap stocking stuffers?! Regular presents, I can see wrapping, but things that go in a stocking don't need to be (at least IMO).
  14. Bumping this up: almost 60 years ago today, this 1958 ABC game called Dr. I.Q. starred a then 31-year-old Tom Kennedy (born Jim Narz in Kentucky in Feb. 1927; had taken the stage name of Tom Kennedy to avoid confusion with his big brother Jack); it originally aired Dec. 15, 1958.
  15. So basically, a lot of those customers felt that it wasn't rudeness for that baby to carry on like that, but that it was for that one customer to not put up with it and to say something about it?! Unreal!
  16. Believe it or not, my unpopular opinion is that, based on what I've seen of it from YouTube, the British Supermarket Sweep w/Dale Winton (a.k.a. Dale's Supermarket Sweep) is far better than what I grew up around w/David Ruprecht here in America. Don't know why I feel that way, but I just do.
  17. Nor was I-- nonetheless, Jim Nabors has his place in television history that cannot be denied, and therefore it made me somewhat sad for the fans of those 60s CBS comedies that he was in to hear that he had passed on.
  18. That is quite true, especially of Barbara Hale and Monty Hall!
  19. And it's a redundancy because "sharing" implies commonality, I take it?
  20. And I've been doing the same on the deaths of Barbara Hale and Mary Tyler Moore, among others: --With Barbara, having her reunited as Della with Perry and Paul in that great Mason detective office in the sky. --And with MTM, having her reunited with the face of her production label, that great kitten/cat named Mimsie.
  21. Hard-fought game, Clemson over N.C. State, 38-31; I was dadgum sure that N.C. State would pull a New England Patriots there.
  22. Not about cars, but that's the same thing that I do with the John Deere Gator that my family has-- back it up into the building, so that whenever it's needed, I can get it and drive right out, instead of having to back out and having an extra step.
  23. Fourth-season confrontation between Alexis and Claudia over Danny: Alexis: "You owe me an explanation, Claudia, and I want one right now!" Claudia: "Alexis, I did not move Danny in with Blake and Krystle as an attack on you!" Alexis: "That child belongs to me just as much as he does to Blake!" Claudia: "I am not denying that, but right now Danny is safer at Blake's than anywhere else." Alexis: "That place is a prison! It's got guards, it's got fences, it's got visiting hours! Now Blake refuses to allow me into that fortress-- what am I supposed to do, send Danny a postcard?!?" Claudia: "Steven and I will bring Danny to see you anytime you want." Alexis: (takes folder, throws it on desk) "Now Steven is that child's father, and he makes the decisions, not you, Claudia!" Claudia: "Understand this, Alexis-- as far as Steven is concerned, I am Danny's mother, and I don't need anyone's permission to act where my son's safety is concerned." Alexis: "Safety-- with Blake Carrington?! That man destroys, Claudia! He destroys from within." Claudia: "And what would you do, Alexis, to satisfy your hatred of Blake-- would you jeopardize Danny's safety?! If that's true, I feel sorry for you, and that really is all that I have to say." (Claudia sits down quickly, Alexis storms to office door) Alexis: "Then we both said all there is to say...for now." (Alexis leaves quickly, slams door as Claudia sits, gaping)
