I’m up on politics, an occasional performer, work in healthcare, learning about wine, and really really like old TV and movies.
I realize he’s not the one anyone thinks of when they think of Rawhide but I really like Gil Favor. He’s got that Jim Hardy incorruptible character. #classictv #oldtv

Doing a Bewitched rewatch. Back then, Samantha was considered reasonable and Endora overbearing re Samantha’s marriage but when you watch it now, Endora sounds like any modern feminist advocating for Samantha to stop sacrificing herself for Darren’s ego and not eccentric at all. #classictv #oldtv

The Grand Canyon sized holes in Gilligan’s Island’s plot and premise are a feature, not a bug. By keeping it light, charming, colorful, and without any consequential risks made the viewer not only want to tune in, but be there among them. #classictv

If you’ve never watched Supercar from the 1960’s before, do yourself a favor. The puppetry and artistry is incredible and the nostalgia a bonus!

For an enduring show, Perry Mason just never managed a not clumsy title sequence. Burr would read and pass around a blank folder with no markings on it, or stare intently around an empty court room #classictv

Here in season three of Taxi, for instance, the live audience has taken to awkwardly clap after certain jokes or gags and I’m not here for that. It delays the organic interactions of the actors and takes me right out of it. #classictvshows
