Filed under: Other Comedy Shows , OpEd , Reality-Free , Gone Too Soon This week, we're going to take a bit of a departure from the shows we normally cover. It's very rare that a show that puts out 76 episodes could be considered by anyone to be gone too soon, and yet I make the argument that 8 Simple Rules (for Dating My Teenage Daughter) is that show. I'm also not going to try and convince you that...
It's a sad day in the entertainment world as one of it's most colourful characters has passed away. 'Captain' Lou Albano was 76. While some know him from his starring role opposite John Ritter in the 1992 hit film Stay Tuned and his many appearances as Mario in the Super Mario Brothers Super Show, others may know him from his portrayal of Cyndi Lauper's Dad in the videos for 'Girls Just Want to Have...

Tragic news today from the professional wrestling community. WWE Hall of Famer Captain Lou Albano, 76, passed away today, only hours after the Miami Herald reported that he was at home with his family under hospice care. The news broke at wrestling enthusiast site PWInsider and was confirmed shortly after at WWE. It is a [...]
By David Lambert - With this past Tuesday's long-awaited release from Fox of The Mary Tyler Moore Show - The Complete Fifth Season, the timing couldn't be any better for Shout! Factory to get word about... (more)
This story for some reason reminded me of this: Alas, if we did have an Americathon, I think Bill Clinton was more of a John Ritter-like president. Obama's much more of a PBS pledge-drive guy.
Reading Discretion Required : This post contains minimal mention of scientific research. A recent University of Maryland study found a whopping correlation between television watching and well-being: Happy people reported spending more than 30% less time watching TV per day than their less happy peers. A case of confirming the obvious? I am not so sure. Since 1985, I have mostly hated and disdained...
“It’s a beautiful Monday here in the Big Apple,” says a disc jockey heard coming from a car radio just a few minutes into Peter Bogdanovich’s THEY ALL LAUGHED. That the voice we hear actually belongs to Bogdanovich himself makes a lot of sense. Released in 1981, THEY ALL LAUGHED really is set in a beautiful fantasy version of that city, one of the writer/director’s own...
I'm in a goofy music mood. First, it was bluegrass. Then, it was "I'm The Scatman" and "Frenzy". Now, I'm back to "Hee Haw". One of my commenters reminded me of "Where Oh Where Are You Tonight..." and I had...
I think the premise of this DC-based sitcom is interesting but here's the thing: It should not be called a remake of Three's Company , because a remake is blasphemy. "How I Met Your Mother" executive producer Greg Malins will try to resuscitate "Three's Company" for ABC -- only this time it's set in Washington and the three young people who are shacking up together . . . are all...
"Much has been written on the subject of aortic dissections, from the first well-documented case of aortic dissection, when King George II of England died while straining on the commode, to the first successful operative repairs by DeBakey in 1955, to modern techniques of diagnosing and repairing thoracic aortic dissections. More recently, this has come to light with the diagnosis of aortic dissection...

In this exclusive interview, Joyce opens up about her spiritual encounters with John Ritter in the weeks after his death, as well as her naked differences with Suzanne Somers. Also, for the first time, she says what she really thought of NBC's "Three's Company: Behind the Camera" "bloodbath" movie.
Many moons ago, half-rated TV sitcom Hearts Afire ran an episode with a somewhat ignominious guest star . I say half-rated because although it starred the late John Ritter and had its bright spots, it never really found an audience . Another casualty of network wars most likely. Make no mistake, even back then, this guest star was probably the most hated gentleman " inside the beltway ." Nemesis to
