I never watched Touched by an Angel, and I doubt I could name any of her hits, but I remember her from several 70s sitcoms that she guest-starred on. She always struck me as a classy lady.
*edit* removed my link - oops, sorry... didn't see Filan's link as it was on a new page.

All I can think of when I think of David Cassidy is Richard Hatch tearing him apart in the boardroom on Celebrity Apprentice.
When I think of David Cassidy, I get happy.
Given the current frequency of men behaving badly in the news I wonder if we want a graffes celebrity sexual harrasment thread.
I wonder how many people our age or younger are mainly aware of Gomer Pyle from the Full Metal Jacket reference. I don't recall watching the actual show, although I do remember Jim Nabors as the android on that Krofft show The Lost Saucer (and while I do recall watching the show, I had to look up its name just now).Quote:

There's going to be a lot of very powerful people taken down by this by the time the dust settles, although some people are getting away with it:Quote:

If you folks want such a thread, let me know. I follow a lot of the Hollywood stuff because it impacts the local economy (and it gives me something to talk about with non-geeks), so I could put together a fair summary thread with a lot of big-picture stuff. To this point I've just been mentioning stuff that impacts crap we care about, like Ratner and Wonder Woman, or Lasseter and Pixar/Incredibles 2.
It's funny how I know on a logical level that the movie industry makes a ton of money.Quote:

Sure, Copenhagen gets used for this or that dark Scandinavian-style murder mystery, but the focus is usually on how it disrupts traffic :grinyes:
its odd all these women are coming out now, Seems really crazy. But I tend to believe them simply because of the image I always had of Hollywood where for ladies it was sleep to the top or get blacklisted by some worm like Weinstein.
I'll let the Vancouver Economic Commission's page on film and television tell the tale:Quote:

I have 43 shows set up on my DVR for recording. A lot of them are seasonal, like Big Brother only coming on in the summer, so I'm not actually watching 43 shows per week, and there's a mix of scripted stuff, reality TV (BB and BBCan, TAR and TARCan, MasterChefCan, Survivor), and even one talk show (Talking Dead). Of those 43 shows, nine are shot here in town: Supergirl, Arrow, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Travelers, The 100, iZombie, The Magicians, and Legion. Three more have shot at least some episodes in town: The Amazing Race, The Amazing Race Canada, Fear The Walking Dead. I can't leave the house and go any great distance without seeing direction signs for at least one shoot (especially since The 100 shoots five minutes or so away from my place). I've driven past scenes being shot live that I've later seen on TV (iZombie shoots a lot on the route I take to Rogers Arena). My Dad had one of his collector cars on The Flash.
Shit. Collector cars. Timeless shoots here, too. Add it to the list (I pulled it off my DVR when they cancelled it, then they announced it was coming back - cars thing reminded me because they use cars from people in some of Dad's old car clubs).
Anyways, yeah. I live like a hermit, and this stuff impacts my life. So I keep watch on it, because it's a lot more interesting to read than a forestry or mining blog!
I watched Gomer Pyle when I was young. It was a funny show (for its time). But then, I grew up on Andy Griffith, Gilligan's Island, Brady Bunch, and Partridge Family (Lori was soooo hot!), so that was right in that same time frameQuote:

That blew me away as well the first time I heard him singQuote:

Bugs Bunny was pretty much my childhood go-to cartoon.
