In the film, in order to support someone that will fall for their actions, others different than Spartacus assume responsibility with him by saying his name as their own. Have you ever…
Golden Girls are Golden Comedy
The word nostalgia means Golden Girls for me. Whether it was watching the show in real-time with my Grandma at her home in Lincoln, NE or watching reruns after school while doing chores or even currently late night viewing helping me laugh as I go to sleep, the Golden Girls was a trailblazer in the…
Hold a Laugh-In this Week!
A nightly variety show for me in the early 80s, Nick at Night’ Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In entertained those that tuned in to see how the 60s informed the 70s and how the 80s where so far from the 60s, yet so close to Laugh-Ins core metaphor. Suddenly, the laughter helped the country move through…

Hey, Dude! Watch this TV Show!
When I was younger, my favorite TV show was about a group of kids that lived and worked together on a dude ranch. My love, Melody, was my favorite, but we all had a little Danny, Ted, Buddy, Brad, Lucy, Jake, Kyle, and Mr. Ernst in all of us.
