Dunno how in the world did this influx of followers come from, but this is a space for old movies, old tv shows, with the occasional author/writer posts and things about Hogwarts Legacy. You have all the time to unfollow me if a mix of one or all of the interests described is not your thing.

The first UHF television station began operations #OTD in 1949.

"Ultra High Frequency" dramatically expanded the broadcast TV landscape, opening up space for independent, educational, and foreign language channels.

In the era before cable proliferated, UHF was where the weird stuff was. #ClassicTV

I'm about to take on something new for this blog. I'm not sure if it's going to work, but I'm going to try and feel it out to see if it can be something I can do for the blog longterm.

Still not deleting my WordPress blog for sentimental reasons, tho!

If I did a podcast, would anyone listen? 😂

Just a thought I floated with my friends.

Carmel Myers makes a move on Ramon Novarro in BEN-HUR. Myers was tasked with finding a suitably outlandish look for her vamp character and she spotted a white silk wig in a shop window.

Ricardo Montalban BOTD on ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS in Nov, 1960.

"Outlaw in Town" is one of the sweetest HITCHCOCKs I've seen, a witty Old West yarn written by Michael Fessier + co-starring Constance Ford.

The twist is romantic! Hitch must have been as charmed by Montalban as the rest of us were.

Classic TV: Alfred Hitchcock Presents 1 x 37: Decoy
What starts out as something hopeful ended up becoming a web of deception and murder. I could be describing what’s happening in the world today or I could be describing this episode of Alfred…
