@TheSpyCommand Watching old episode of “The Texan.” Richard Jaekel was everywhere in the 50s and 60s. What a career.

The lack of awards love for Edward James Olmos in Battlestar Galactica still feels wrong. Adama could command a room with a speech, then completely break your heart just sitting silently with the weight of leadership on his face.

Which TV performance deserved way more awards recognition?

@ThatBobMadison @TheSpyCommand Discovered in college when campus radio station airing OTR assigned me to edit out currently sold commercial product mentions, which meant I had to listen to entire shows. I had no idea. I was hooked.

The Red Skelton Show was before my time, but there are dozens of episodes of his radio show on Internet Archive and they are great.

I visited my grandpa today and we were talking about his favorite childhood shows. He couldn't remember too many, but he said he loved The Red Skelton Hour. I haven't seen even an episode of it, so I feel like I should give it a go. Anyone else enjoy it growing up, or even now?

An actor who played a character so perfectly that nobody else could ever top it. GIFS ONLY.

@TheSpyCommand @ThatBobMadison You both should grab some Old Time (pre-TV) radio shows : The Shadow, X-minus One, Fibber McGee and Molly, Jack Benny. Great, imaginative, suspenseful, often hysterically funny stuff.
English
@ThatBobMadison The Skelton museum has uploaded a number of episodes of The Red Skelton Hour to YouTube. A 1962 episode features Harpo Marx as the guest star and has a young Dyan Cannon in a small part.

@MavrocksGirl I agree that folks should reserve judgment, but your dad is a tough act to follow. I thought the same after Jimmy Smits left ‘NYPD Blue.’ His successors were very good, but Smits’ chemistry with Franz was special.
English
Seriously, I'm trying to be patient with some of the "comments" on the NEW ROCKFORD FILES however, have you ever thought to reserve your harsh judgment until you see it first?
This is my father's legacy & I could not be more pleased with how it turned out!

@TheSpyCommand @RodneyMarshall1 Superior casting turned another police procedural into something much better. I patterned my reporter’s wardrobe after Douglas’.
English
@RodneyMarshall1 The pilot to The Streets of San Francisco was the second of three QM pilots written by Edward Hume (Cannon and Barnaby Jones were the others). The Michael Douglas casting followed another QM pattern—taking a one-time guest star and putting them in a series.
English
Artwork created in 1972 to launch The Streets of San Francisco, with little postcard style illustrations of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge landmark and a streetcar for anyone unsure about the setting.

@TheSpyCommand Very impressed with him in Frankenstein. He’d tower over most henchmen but the young man has skills.

@TheSpyCommand @RodneyMarshall1 My earliest memory of TV detectives is “Tightrope” with Mike Connors. I remember running thru the house with my toy gun strapped to the small of my back…

@RodneyMarshall1 Dick Powell with David Janssen and other stars of series made by Four Star Productions.
English
1957. Dick Powell, the actor who played Blake Edwards' 'singing' detective Richard Diamond on the radio, produces the TV version, with David Janssen now in the lead role as an ex-cop working out of a tiny office who is for hire as a hard-boiled Chandler-esque private eye. 1/

@TheSpyCommand Well, he can’t very well say, “It’s a bloody dumpster fire,” now can he?

I updated the A1 Bond timeline to note the brief interview Deadline had with Steven Knight. spycommandfeatures.wordpress.com/the-a1-bond-ti…
English
@TheSpyCommand The young man has skills. May present a casting challenge, tho, as he’ll be significantly taller than most of his antagonists.
English
I updated the A1 Bond timeline to note a May 5 edition of the British podcast The Rest is Entertainment, where a host says Jacob Elordi is now the leading contender to play Bond. YouTube video of the episode is embedded spycommandfeatures.wordpress.com/the-a1-bond-ti…
English
@TheSpyCommand Quite possible. Shadow but not interfere? They’d have been way late to save her if Bond hadn’t shown up…
English
@OrendorffAl I wonder if the henchmen had been assigned to shadow Tracy. If so, they didn't do the best job because Bond got there first.
English
@TheSpyCommand other than an excuse for a good introductory action sequence, it was never explained what the beach henchmen in OHMSS wanted with Bond and the suicidal Tracy. Draco leverage, perhaps?
English
@TheSpyCommand speaking of OHMSS, Bernard Horsfall’s character may be one of the best examples in the series of the risky and thankless behind the scenes spycraft that helps make Bond’s success possible. And he’s killed for it.

@TheSpyCommand @SpyHards Met her once. One of the nicest people on the planet.

@SpyHards She also played the leader of a Soviet spy ring in a 10th season episode of Hawaii Five-O (1977-78 season).

Maud Adams begins her #JamesBond duology as Andrea in The Man with the Golden Gun and lights up the screen — no wonder they brought her back for Octopussy
But which performance do you prefer?

@BestMovieMom Too bad the film didn’t live up to Shirley Bassey’s theme
English
Moonraker only exists because of Star Wars. Albert Broccoli watched the Lucas film redefine global box office and scrapped Eon’s planned For Your Eyes Only in November 1977. The 34 million dollar budget made it the most expensive Bond ever at the time.

We remember the life and legacy of actor and stage director Roscoe Lee Browne on his birthday. He is known for his dozens of TV guest appearances from the 1970s to the 2000s.
