Herbie J Pilato Reviews New “Golden Girls’ Documentary
by Herbie J Pilato
The Golden Girls: Ageless is the title of the Reelz Channel’s new documentary on the classic 1980s sitcom that originally aired on NBC from 1985 to 1992.
As refreshingly frank and entertaining as one of Bea Arthur’s Dorothy Zbornak’s comedic zingers on the show it profiles, Ageless [which airs Saturday night, March 13th at 8:00 PM (PST) on Reelz), delivers a wallop of goods and pulls no punches.

While a particular story that I read today remind me of this particular writing problem, what I’m saying in this space is in fact a tip I give QUITE OFTEN.
Never make us ask “is that character a fricking moron?” Or anything similar.
I mean, it’s okay if you WANT your character to be a moron. But if you do, make sure your intention is blisteringly obvious. Don’t make us ask.

Herbie J Pilato on ‘Alias Smith & Jones’
Still Charming After 50 years
by Herbie J Pilato
In the history of television westerns, Alias Smith and Jones stands out from the pack.
The small screen answer to the 1969 Paul Newman/Robert Redford feature film, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Alias Smith and Jones combined a seriocomic premise and tone, entertaining stories, witty dialogue, ground-breaking cinematography, and likable performances.
The one-hour series presented a new form of TV western which was generated by the 1970 ABC TV-movie The Young Country produced by Universal Studios.
