    Dealbreaker TV Characters

    On that subject, Father Mulcahy was probably a lot more complicated a character than he seemed on the surface . . . there were many episodes where he felt as though he was completely useless in camp, and that his presence was not needed - even to the point where if he did try to step into a...

    Dealbreaker TV Characters

    You can actually thank co-creator Larry Gelbart for that: he created the character of Captain Spaulding as an experimental character - in this case, a camp minstrel. I didn't mind the music he provided in "Rainbow Bridge," but other than that, I'll agree he was a pretty useless character in...

    COVID-19 Coronavirus News and Updates

    Remember when I said my state worships football almost as much as they do God? Well, not surprisingly, Bill Lee, aka the worst governor we've ever had, has just announced that the 2020-21 high school football schedule will proceed as planned, in spite of how much COVID-19 is spiking in our...

    Video: “Muppets Now” Official Trailer

    How much acid are you dropping, BTW? Nobody's Kermit is true to Jim's except Jim's, because only Jim's Kermit was Jim's Kermit. Steve's Kermit was never Jim's Kermit, and Matt's Kermit isn't Jim's Kermit.

    Dealbreaker TV Characters

    Ah yes, that anachronistically out-of-place 70s-esque guitar playing dentist who played that anachronistically little 70s-esque guitar riff for Hawkeye and Trapper? Getting back to the original topic at hand, the more I think about it, there actually dealbreaking characters from THE ANDY...

    Dealbreaker TV Characters

    That's why they eventually stopped using him: as the series grew to become darker and more dramatic, and the writers made him such a broader and more "out there" character, they felt he would be too out of place if they continued to use him, even on a semi-regular basis. Though, curiously, he...

    Dealbreaker TV Characters

    The only early character I didn't care for was Kaplan the dentist . . . he was just obnoxious and not very funny at all. HOGAN'S HEROES had a similar problem in its last couple of seasons: both Newkirk and Carter ended up with some really long 60s-era sideburns - Newkirk in particular almost...

    Definitely clean-shaven. Some dudes can pull off a mustache, others can't . . . he couldn't.

    Dealbreaker TV Characters

    From my perspective, B.J. was a more rounded, fleshed-out character than Trapper. Considering Trapper and Hawkeye were intended to be interchangable leads from the beginning (unfortunately, didn't quite work out that way), their personalities were far too similar, and their collegiate capers got...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    No, we don't. We live our lives in quiet shame, because we know people assume we "swing that way" just because, despite being male-type humanoids, we practice good hygiene, take measures to stay healthy, and try to make ourselves look presentable in public.

    Questions about anything

    Ah yes. He did not work well with the cast. At all. He found Alan Alda to be too much of a control freak and Gary Burghoff to be too much of a diva.

    Questions about anything

    Unfortunately, I've never seen any of the original Little Rascals films, so I don't know just how true to the source material the 90s movie may have been . . . but, since it was one of the movies from my childhood, there's really no problems that I can see with it, but it's definitely a product...

    I know a lot of us have reached a point where we can clearly discern a certain performer's vocals in a chorus or backing of various different Sesame songs. For me, I can clearly pick out Kevin Clash's vocals in the backing of "Love the Ocean":
