Ted Knight is the best thing about the first season of SUPER FRIENDS.

If you’re a certain age, you can hear his voice just by looking at this image.

NOW PLAYING: Earth Star Voyager (1988). Part 1.

The only other Disney Sunday Movie that I remember. Lalo Schifrin’s theme is absolutely solid.

The concept wasn’t a bad one, but it never went to series.

My anti-anxiety meds are having the unexpected effect of turning me into an extrovert at work.

Not complaining because it’s better than the shell I was just three years ago, but man, it’s EXHAUSTING being “on” like that.

The MATT HELM pilot has Patrick Macnee and John Vernon guest starring, but me, I’m thrilled to see one of my favourite 1970s character actors: Val Bisoglio.

NOW PLAYING: Double Agent (1986).

Michael McKean as a spy? How did this not go to series?

(Because “Disney Sunday Movie,” that’s why.)

I don’t often post my #LastFourWatched on #LetterboxdFriday because I post individually as I watch films, but every now and then it’s good to point out movies I enjoyed.

Someday I hope to post four in a row that I enjoyed.

This group came close but MWL was a good movie that didnt click with me.

Next in the Father/Daughter Reading Pile, a series that is remembered as birthing one of the stupidest cover gimmicks of the 90s!
