50th ANNIVERSARY OF TELEVISION

In continuance of the "Birthday/Anniversary" theme of my previous two columns (about my 50th birthday and the 5th anniversary of writing the "Mr. Bronze Age" column) I have decided to point out the OTHER 50th Anniversaries of Pop Culture in 2019!

Mr. Bronze Age Turns Golden !!

On February 6th , 2019 , I turned Fifty Years Old !! Fifty year is one of THE milestone birthdays in ones life. As a kid, they come fairly quick -- 13, (The start of your teenage years !!), 16, 18, 21, 25, -- and then Fifty, followed by 75 and 100 !! Turning Fifty brings with it a sense of reflection.

It seemed as if every TV Show with a prominent male lead had their Fiftieth birthday [...]  Read more >

Bob Newhart in the Retroscope

Some television shows are just BORN classics. They were created under the proverbial " lucky star." Sometimes, they just get it exactly RIGHT -- the right production staff, the right cast, the right premise -- EVERYTHING !! The Bob Newhart Show is one of those shows. The idea of a calm, unflappable Bob Newhart as a psychologist , who must remain unemotional is an inspired move. Also, since the series is set in a doctor's set of offices, there are other doctors there that Bob can relate to. His best fri [...]  Read more >
