TVWriter™ Don’t-Miss Posts of the Week – August 14, 2017
Time for TVWriter™’s Monday look at our 5 most popular blog posts of the week ending yesterday. They are, in order:
Herbie J Pilato Hangs with the Big Dogs
That’s TVWriter™ Contributing Editor Emeritus Herbie J Pilato on the right, hanging with Joel Eisenberg and Lloyd Schwartz at a speaking engagement last week in Valencia, CA.
Mr. Eisenberg is the executive producer of Herbie J’s new Classic TV series, Then Again with Herbie J Pilato on Decades TV. Mr. Schwartz is a Classic TV classic himself – writer-producer of The Brady Bunch and Gilligan’s Island.
Wouldn’t it be cool if those three could get together and create a new series of their own? Pilato’s Island, anybody?

Titanic follows the story of star-crossed lovers Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) aboard the ill fated luxury liner.
