  1. Farewell to Harris Yulin (1937-2025)

    He’s great in an early role on KOJAK as a drug-pushing pimp w/ a stable that includes Tina Louise, Ann Jillian, and Jess Walton. And Isabel Sanford plays an ex-madam.

    It’s like a 1970s all-star team w/ Yulin batting clean-up. Thanks for 50+ years of solid work.

  2. At the time Brian Clemens' tough gritty violent British TV spy series The Professionals attracted a lot of attention and some outrage. The 1979 3rd season is pretty strong with just one dud episode. Stylish and action-packed.

  3. #FlipWilson (1933–1998) would have been 89 today.

    He introduced his alter ego Geraldine Jones on a 1969 special that inspired NBC to give him his own variety series.

    And #TheFlipWilsonShow (1970-74) became TV’s second-highest-rated show from 1970-72!

  4. "People of all ages say to me…’I grew up with you. Thank you for all the good times.' If that’s my legacy, that’s pretty good.”

    #DickClark (1929–2012) would have been 93 today.
