The secret life of Match Game's Charles Nelson Reilly.

Just made a video about Charles Nelson Reilly — the part about the 1944 Hartford Circus Fire and how it affected him for the rest of his life is something most Match Game fans never knew. 27 years with Patrick Hughes and America found out in a single line at the bottom of his obituary.

Has anyone seen the 1973 television documentary series An American Family? It’s incredibly impressive and sometimes hard to watch. You could almost feel the tension just by watching it.

A Twilight Zone deal 👁

Went to a garage sale and found one of my most sought after treasures, The Complete Collection of the OG Twilight Zone and was brand new, sealed. A buck per disc, 28 bucks? Brand new!? I'm happy.

Theme Songs That Don’t Match the Show

In another discussion about memorable TV show theme songs, I noted Hill Street Blues. When going back and listening to it, it’s sort of calming, soothing, yet a little depressing. I also don’t think it pairs nicely to the content of the actual show (a police drama). Any others?

Better than calling her a Bitch or the C word

My Mother the Car was an American fantasy sitcom that aired for a single season on NBC between September, 1965, and April 1966. Thirty episodes were produced,about a man whose deceased mother is reincarnated as an antique car, who talks with him through the car radio. Jerry Van Dyke starred in the series. Actual adults Produced this show, hard to believe, but then we also had my favorite martian Mr Ed and The Flying Nun so I guess whatever.
