I’m up on politics, an occasional performer, work in healthcare, learning about wine, and really really like old TV and movies.

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!

Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore seemed to fight more viscerally on The DVD Show than previous TV couples. #classictv

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

A new study shows that music therapy is as effective as cognitive behavioral therapy at helping cancer patients and survivors heal emotionally.
The doctor said 'be happy.' Music therapy can help cancer patients do that

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

My Three Sons used sound and music (or the absence of same) to creatively set the mood of the scene more than any family comedy before it. #classictvshows

Jim Hardy from Tales of Wells Fargo walking onto what is clearly the set for the house on Laramie. Loved how all the old westerns shared sets and sound stages. #classictvshows

Im watching the theme montage for Chips while hubs is folding laundry and out of nowhere he says, “See that maroon car that passed? That’s the Chrysler Cordoba known for its rich Corinthian Leather” I was just waiting to see Ponch’s boot come off the thingy for the 300th time because it’s damn cool.

Jim Hardy never had an episode where his convictions were shaken, or he was questioning his actions. He was tried and true and reliable as the sun. Nowadays that makes for uninteresting heroes, but perhaps in today’s social context, I can’t get enough of it. #classictvshows

Casting Ted Bessell as Marlo Thomas’s bf for the duration of the That Girl run was pretty bold as it eliminated the endless potential dating storylines. Mary Tyler Moore did the opposite. #classictvshow
