  1. He graduated from Northwestern Univ in June of this year. Not sure what he's doing after graduating.
  2. I'm not sure why you'd want a lawyer who pretends he's Johnny Cochran though.
  3. She died in 2019 (colon cancer). Clarence Williams died in 2021
  4. Yes, I posted about that earlier. Some thought they were doing a Johnny Cochran/Jackie Chiles impersonation.
  5. Retro channel BINGE will be running "ALF" starting late on Dec 24, all day Dec 25, and early Dec 26 (But basically just the Season 1 shows)
  6. Dealing with Sheldon in any ordinary human manner is impossible. I think Georgie knows that.
  7. Law & Order: A Cultural History (The Cultural History of Television) Bernadette Giacomazzo ISBN: 9781538194812 A comprehensive, yet entertaining, examination of the Law & Order juggernaut. Over the course of more than 20 years, nearly 500 episodes, and six spinoffs, Law & Order changed the way we view police procedurals, the American justice system, and the men and women of the NYPD. The ubiquity of the show — from its iconic dun-dun sound to its all-star cast of characters and A-list special guest stars — has not only made it part of the pop culture zeitgeist but has made society smarter about “law and order” in the United States. In the first-ever book of its kind, author & pop culture critic Bernadette Giacomazzo celebrates the show and its creator, Dick Wolf, while providing a conscientious examination of the stories of the criminal justice system, and the “two separate, yet equally important groups” that represent the people. But more than just follow the evolution of the show from its old New York grit and grime to the 21st century high-tech surveillance in a more sterile Manhattan, Giacomazzo explores how United States law evolved over the years and how the show evolved with it, and how America’s fascination with the show helped give birth to the true crime genre. Law & Order was — and is — more than just a police procedural. It is one of the few shows that effectively tackled the social, political, and economic issues that lead to a life of crime. Moreso than its predecessors Dragnet and Hill Street Blues, Law & Order gave a first-hand, inside look into the police who investigate crime, and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. In so doing, it removed their mystique and gave them a humanity not seen before. This cultural history finally gives the show and its creator the recognition they deserve for their role in changing the face of both law and order — and true crime television. _____________ Survivor: A Cultural History (The Cultural History of Television) Joseph J. Darowski ISBN: 9781538196557 Celebrate the 25th anniversary of Survivor with a look back at one of history’s most popular and long-running reality shows. Premiering in 2000, Survivor altered the landscape of network television from its first season, popularizing reality shows for audiences in the 21st century and quickly growing to a semi-annual release slate that has resulted in more than 46 seasons and hundreds of contestants. Over twenty years later, the series remains popular and a ratings hit, maintaining a devoted fanbase even as the television landscape has evolved and shifted to streaming. In Survivor: A Cultural History, Joseph J. Darowski and Kate Darowski analyze how the iconic CBS show revolutionized television and has adapted and changed across decades of production. They explore the creation of the series and its surprising emergence as a ratings juggernaut, the evolution of gameplay for both the producers and the players, the series existence as a self-proclaimed “social experiment”, and much more. While the basic premise of the series has remained the same—survivors are marooned in the wild with few supplies and must vote someone out at a weekly tribal council with the goal of being the sole survivor to win $1 million—there are notable differences from where the game began to where it is now. From stylistic changes in the presentation of the show to new twists in the game rules, the transformations from season 1 to the present reflect real life, keeping the show fresh amid a stream of new reality competition shows. Survivor: A Cultural History details these cultural shifts while highlighting Survivor’s place as one of the most impactful television shows of this century. Featuring an overview of the key players and a ranking of the must watch-seasons, this is an essential guide for fans both new and old.
  8. Yes, beautiful people doing inexplicable things.
  9. Maybe she wanted LBJ to pick her up by her ears?
  10. He kind of explained that, that he felt guilty about not treating Sheldon more as a little brother. (Not that I'd buy that in real life, but this is Lorre World.) If that's the case what's left to fill the short time of each episode (I guess more visits from the YS cast)? Next Lorre spinoff, "Connor Looks for Work".
  11. Mary & Sheldon Reunion https://screenrant.com/young-sheldon-iain-armitage-zoe-perry-reunion/
  12. YS didn't start off as a dramedy, but turned into one as they focused more on other characters than Sheldon.
  13. R.I.P., Michael Cole Pete on "Mod Squad" https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/michael-cole-dead-mod-squad-1236245131/ The last of the squad to die.
