@dbrodbeck.bsky.social and I rhapsodize about Jeff MacKay's acting. John Larroquette's, Kenneth Mars', and Robert Conrad's.

@dbrodbeck.bsky.social and I just walk on by.

Rockford woke? Say it ain't so!

@inyourearholes.com Marianne Faithful has died.

@thoetp.bsky.social listening to your eps on panto. As a Canadian I haven't seen one (even lived in UK - Northampton for 3 years). I got my Brit tv from 🇺🇲 PBS as a kid. So you can understand that I would have liked to see John Inman as a panto dame.

What have I done? I was even SOBER!

@dbrodbeck.bsky.social and I chat WW2 and WKRP.

Someone wants attention

@dbrodbeck.bsky.social and I are joined by Dan, Dave's brother to talk about Season 3 of The Rockford Files.

@coldwarhost.bsky.social I'm about to start a book on the Avro Air thing. Canadians have always claimed it was a Cold War conspiracy. Though I am less convinced by those arguments.

This week, The Cold War takes a look at LBJ's Great Society programs, designed to help fulfil the American promise of prosperity for all but also part of the efforts made to offset Soviet criticism of America's systemic inequalities. youtu.be/Lgpz4Y-yZD4
