  1. Looks like Joey King pulled a Susan Lucci this award season-- she was nominated for all four awards (Emmy, Globe, Critics, SAG), and went 0-for-4, all to Fosse/Verdon!
  2. Never thought of it that way-- that's why I believe that Joey's going 0-for-3 was not a snub, as she was at least in the running, being at least as good.
  3. You mean The Act, for which Joey King has gone 0fer on the awards, despite all the noms?
  4. I don't know what it is about Michelle Williams and Fosse/Verdon, but she has won every award she's been up for (she's won the Emmy, the Globe, and now the Critics' Choice)-- does everyone think she's that good?
  5. Don't know if you knew, but Logan Browning and Joey King were named Ambassadors for this SAG Awards ceremony: https://www.sagaftra.org/logan-browning-and-joey-king-named-ambassadors-26th-annual-screen-actors-guild-awards®
  6. That's who I'm going for for the other side of the conference finals (them and Houston)!
  7. Was glad to hear about that one-- sure would have loved to hear that Joey took a Globe for herself!
  8. I'm going to be honest right now: whereas before I boycotted the Super Bowl because the Patriots were in, this time it's definitely getting my eyes! Why? Because the Patriots are out! Boy, is that ever a great 39th birthday present!
  9. Both of those are exactly why I am glad that Joey King is at least nominated for those awards, as well as for the Critics Choice-- like I said before, I had originally thought that "snubbed" meant you failed to win the award from a nomination (someone else winning it who was also nominated, as Michelle Williams did at the last Emmys [at least Patricia Arquette did take the Best Female Supporter Limited for The Act]), but now I know that it means that you don't even get a nomination/chance to win; many others have similar shows that are at least as good and deserving, but with so many shows out there, they (and the actors/actresses involved) often inevitably end up being snubbed, simply because too many things are out there, and you can only make so many choices.
  10. Which is why the noms are a fine consolation prize, IMO, should she not win (albeit, like you, I hope she does).
  11. It was quite sudden, hearing it on Twitter that Phil McKeon passed on at so young an age!
  12. On Hart to Hart: Leonard and Aaron together w/Rona II and Columbia Pictures Television (from Shout! DVD of same)...
  13. Are you sure he was on The Love Boat? Last I recall, that one was Spelling/Cramer.
  14. Yet another one: that, based on how well Patricia Arquette and Joey King worked together on Hulu's The Act (as Dee Dee Blanchard and Gypsy Rose Blanchard respectively), I'm of the strong opinion that Patricia and Joey are this era's Karl Malden and Michael Douglas (Patricia being the Malden, Joey being the Douglas); Patricia even vouched for Joey on the last Emmys, saying that Joey is very generous and kind to everyone she (Joey) works with.
  15. If they ever reimagined The Streets of San Francisco for CBS these days (this one, I think, should have females in the leads, with feminine forms of the original character names), I think that Patricia Arquette (who is from Chicago originally, just as Karl Malden was) should be Det. Lt. Michaela Stone of the Homicide Division of the San Francisco Police Department (nicknamed "Mike," in the vein of Jane Seymour's lead on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, and of course a nod to the original Mike Stone of the late, great Karl Malden), and Joey King should be Sgt. Stephanie Keller (or possibly, Sgt. Danielle Robbins). The same format should be kept (that Keller [or Robbins] is a Sergeant in the SFPD, being shown the ropes by veteran homicide detective Lt. Stone, just as it was on ABC from 1972-77 when the original male Keller and Robbins were Inspectors [a rank that, last I recall, no longer exists in the SFPD]).

    You bet! When I saw that on my phone just earlier, that really made my day!
  17. Bumping this up: finished the full course of Riptide on DVD (from VEI's all-in-one of that 1984-86 NBC detective/action/adventure series w/Perry King, Joe Penny and Thom Bray), and having so finished, I'd like to say here that the trio of lead characters the aforementioned actors played (Cody Allen, Nick Ryder and Murray Bozinsky), all Vietnam vets, were, IMO, more of a band of brothers than the WWII soldiers in HBO's Band of Brothers. I also want to say that June Chadwick's Lt. Joanna Parisi character was, based on her helpfulness and friendship towards the trio, seemingly quite the team mom towards them as well. Jack Ging's Lt. Ted Quinlan character, on the other hand, was quite brusque and tough on our trio in the early going, but seemed to soften up towards his last episode in the third and final go. All-in-all, I think Riptide is a remarkably enjoyable series, and worth the money on DVD, no matter how you get it (I think it holds up better than Hardcastle and McCormick as well)!
  18. Excellent insight, that! Autistics like myself take things to heart all the time, and I wish I didn't.
  19. Bumping this up-- no, I have no such evidence that such things did come to pass that way (I should have answered earlier); I just answered the way I did because the way the media makes #MeToo out to work, I often worry about the future like that.
  20. Bumping this up: Matt Houston (VEI all-in-one of this 1982-85 ABC detective/action/adventure series w/Lee Horsley, Pamela Hensley, et al.)
  21. Update on that KL opening I put up before: apparently, Wayne did not make that one; someone by the name of Gene Kraft did (Wayne made the earlier one, from 1979-81; found out from Wikipedia): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knots_Landing#Opening_credits
  22. Just heard about it from WSB Action News in Atlanta.
  23. That's why I said "at least I think this may be": because I didn't want to state that opinion and possibly have it called wrong. BTW, I made the comparison the way I did based on my opinion of the quality (or lack thereof) of the news products down here (and, JMO, WYFF News 4 is not that good a product to me; if they were a little better, I would have their app [I have an Android phone, and it has the 6ABC app on it, and that app gets my eyes far more often than any local station does here]).
