Sheila Kuehl (Zelda on “Dobie Gillis”) remembers: I Was A Kid Star
We’re feeling nostalgic today. Maybe it’s the influence of our buddy Herbie J Pilato, whom we’re also featuring on TVWriter™ today. Or maybe it’s the tenor of the current times, which often seem to be blowing this TVWriter™ minion away…and not in the positive sense of the expression.
Be that as it may, we’re delighted to have discovered this video memoir from one of our favorite characters back in the day. Alas, poor Zeldie, and of course Dobie Gillis too, where are you when we need you?
Thanks to Pop Goes The Culture TV for putting this, and so many other fun interviews, up on YouTube for all of us to see.

Larry Brody: Live! From Paradise! #110 “My Community”
THE USUAL NOTE FROM LB: From the summer of 2002 to the spring of 2010, Gwen the Beautiful and I were the proud and often exhausted owners of a beautiful Ozarks property we called Cloud Creek Ranch.
In many ways, the ranch was paradise. But it was a paradise with a price that started going up before we even knew it existed. Here’s another Monday musing about our adventure and the lessons we learned.
Oh, and if y’all detect any irony, please believe me when I say it comes straight from the universe and not your kindly Uncle Larry B.
