R.I.P. to a terrific pitcher. Is anyone in MLB throwing the knuckler? Phil and Joe Niekro were, like Wilbur, incredibly adept at the pitch, which was as hard on catchers as on opposing hitters.

Look forward to this Blu-ray, especially seeing the 1943-1946 titles that precede Jim Tyer leaving Famous and bringing his unique imagination to Terrytoons. The Famous Popeyes were run to death by local TV stations when I was growing up, but the Noveltoons were rarely shown, even the p.d. ones.

A slushy featuring ginger extract and Dan Ackroyd's Crystal Head Vodka sounds about right. The gang here likes The Daily Beans so much we sent a photo of our cat Raymond, a savvy mackerel tabby.

I actually counted the number of times Fred MacMurray says "baby (be-be)" in the last 20 minutes of DOUBLE INDEMNITY.

Just one reason I bought the PORKY PIG 101 set. Find the animation in Bob Clampett's Looney Tunes hilarious.

Terrific record! That Diz album featuring both Sonny Rollins and Sonny Stitt is another must listen.

These shows were pitched at my generation. Now in 2026, my favorites - after The Ernie Kovacs Show - remain THE ADDAMS FAMILY, the Mel Brooks & Buck Henry incarnation of GET SMART and THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW. Also enjoy the satiric "Roger Ramjet" and all Jay Ward Productions.

Ashley Padilla may turn out to be one of the greatest comediennes in the 50+ years of SNL. That sketch with her getting a Moe Howard haircut is unbelievably funny.

Sarah, MLB is close to my heart. My dad took me to San Francisco Giants games at Candlestick Park back in the 1960's and 1970's. He would specifically select games in which the starting pitchers were Juan Marichal and Gaylord Perry!
