1970s Phenomenon : The Gong Show Chuck Barris
was responsible for some of the most popular programs of the sixties,
primetime and daytime hits like 'The Dating
Game' and 'The Newlywed Game'. These pseudo-game shows fed off
of an individual's willingness to do anything to be on television, 'The
Gong Show' would take that premise a step further. ABC
bought the show for nighttime syndication, to debut in the fall of 1976. Read

Tragic Death of Hank Star Dick Kallman! "Dick
was stabbed to death in 1980 during
a 'drug induced' robbery - while most of the articles mention he was murdered
in his apartment, it is my belief that he was abducted by someone on drugs
looking for money and forced him back to the apartment... clearly it was
a robbery and a very violent one. I never sat
foot in our apartment again. I left everything I owned in it to be sold.
I could not bare to see it ripped and stained with Dick's blood." Read and Watch More...
Jack Sheldon & Run Buddy Run! Let's celebrate this remarkably talented guy with a brief look at his career on television. You may not recognize the name but you'll recognize his voice from those wonderful Schoolhouse Rock segments from Saturday mornings. My favorite of his was 'Conjunction Junction' but there were others, like perhaps the most well-known of the bunch, 'How a Bill Becomes a Law.' Read and Watch More!
Ronald Reagan's Last Dramatic Role Despite
giving up the acting profession - and his TV hosting duties - to serve
as the governor of California in 1967, there was a special episode of Death Valley Days broadcast that same year that featured Reagan
as the lead actor - it was his last dramatic role. Read

What Happened to What's Happening!!? "Haywood was a really good kid and Ernest was an
excellent actor. Fred Berry was the one to look out for. He could be trouble.
He received many of the show's big laughs. Unfortunately, he later had
some personal problems that carried over onto the set. After
I had left the show, there was a big contract dispute and I was told that
Fred was the instigator behind the trouble that followed. He convinced
Ernest and Haywood to join him in a strike for more money. Eventually,
the producers simply had enough of the boys' antics and they closed the
series down." Read

Sky King "Out of the blue of the western sky comes... Sky King!" Nabisco's kid friendly cowboy in the air was popular for two decades on the weekends - and years before that on radio. Likable stars Kirby Grant and Gloria Winters were matched with believable scripts, stark desert scenery and exciting aerial shots. Read

Camp Runamuck
This one season wonder was a fave with kids in the mid-sixties. It's never made an appearance since leaving the airwaves in 1966, never on VHS or DVD. Which is a shame, I'll never know if it was as good as I remember it being. Watch the series' opening and closing themes. Read

They Made an Album?!? Yes, most of us are already aware that the likes of William Shatner, John Travolta and various “Brady” kids have all had their dreams of musical greatness and have all put out albums of their warblings at one time or another. But… they are far from alone in the world of surprising others who have also attempted to parlay their notoriety or fame in one field into the world of the recording arts. Read

Overheard Conversation - Bob Einstein If you asked me for a list of people working in television that I'd most like to talk to, at the top of that list would be Bob Einstein.

1980's
PUNK ROCK
In the early-eighties, young people in Los Angeles were flocking to
makeshift clubs in droves to see new, up and coming bands. Live new
music, not DJs, was what they craved. These writings provide a sketchy
look at the underground club scene in Los Angeles during the time
that groups like X, Missing Persons, The Go-Go's, The Minutemen and
Wall of Voodoo entered the public consciousness. Read
