Thought about Atlantis lately? I hadn’t until Thursday night, February 16th. NBC was airing an episode of “SUPERSTORE,” followed by “POWERLESS.” For an island that sunk out of sight, Atlantis popped up like an atoll when the subject was raised in both sitcoms, broadcast back to back.
Starting at 8 pm, the crew and customers at “SUPERSTORE” felt a heatwave when the temperature control system broke. Glenn, the oft befuddled manager, tried calling corporate to fix it but was brushed off in a perky, yet authoritative voice.read article
And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!
My favorite superhero TV show these days is The Flash. Heck, it may be my favorite TV show period. Grant Gustin is doing a great job as Barry Allen/The Flash and the stories have wonderful “Easter eggs” for those who know DC continuity. One of the best is casting John Wesley Shipp, who played Barry/Flash in the earlier TV incarnation of The Flash, is in this version first as Barry’s dad and now as Jay Garrick, the Flash of Earth-2.
What also is great is the supporting cast on the show. On The Flash, they’ve even increased by one to include Tom Fenton (perhaps best known as Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films) as Barry’s “frenemy”. He’s also joined “Team Flash” as it’s called, even on the show.read article
A few days into my new job, a fellow employee stood behind me and introduced himself. When I turned around to see him, I was astonished. He looked just like Captain Gregg from “The Ghost and Mrs. Muir,” the late 1960s TV sitcom. The captain, by the way, was a very handsome Irish actor, named Edward Mulhare (1923-1997).
My co-worker, who shall be nameless, reminded me of a show with oodles of chemistry between the actors. First there was the chemistry between Captain Gregg and one of his new housemates, Carolyn Muir, played by Hope Lange. As a little girl watching the show, I aspired to look like Hope Lange when I grew up. The actress’ beauty in her thirties, made me look forward to mid-life.
Her character, Carolyn Muir, was the perfect blend of refinement and friendliness. The actress had a regal bearing. Every week, Carolyn Muir presented herself in classically chic outfits by Evan-Picone. She had enough mettle to manage life as a single mom (before we started calling them single moms). Carolyn Muir never gives in to self-pity and won’t let her children do it, either.read article
