My friends and I have made movies most our lives. "LEWISTOWN WIVES" was a sexy and shocking miniseries based on the Jackie Collins novel "Hollywood Wives." Sadly, we never filmed it. 1984. #miniseries #sexyminiseries #sexy #sexsells #jackiecollins #joancollins #glamor #glamour #glamorous #hollywood #1980s #twentiethcentury #tv #television #classictv #classictelevision #vintagetv #vintagetelevision #sexnovel #sexnovels #sexynovel #sexynovels #homemovies #makingmovies #amateurmovie

We were surprised to find the guest star Wednesday night on "The Patty Duke Show" was Frank Sinatra Jr. Romantic contretemps ensued. I just discovered contretemps is pronounced "KAHN-truh-tahn."

I so have the theme to Man about the house stuck in my head and it does not go with the Glasgow i'm seeing. Amuses me though.

The latest version of AnalogTV https://analogtv.net now does full signal chain simulation of Apollo TV. This is not a "filter" or "shader" this is a full emulation of the signal.

I used the 22-minute After School Special "THE HALLOWEEN THAT ALMOST WASN'T" starring Judd Hirsch and Mariette Hartley as a classroom Halloween treat every year during my career, following its release in 1979. Kids loved it. #halloween #publicschool #publicschools #publicschoolteacher #teacher #teachers #schoolteaching #halloweenparty #halloweentreat #juddhirsch #mariettehartley #television #classictelevision #tv #classictv #vintagetv #vintagetelevision #1970s #prestigetelevision #teaching

I'm starting a new fad for all fans of the 25-year-old soap opera, "PASSIONS." Every time arch-villain Alistair Crane (Alan Oppenheimer) appears 'hands only' from behind his leather chair, I raise my hands, and act the scene with him. Join us! Soon all the cool kids will be doing it. #soap #soaps #soapopera #occultsoap #occultsoaps #occultsoapopera #occultsoapoperas #tv #television #vintagetv #vintagetelevision #vintagetelevisionshows #classictv #classictelevision #alanoppenheimer

Hungarian TV in real SECAM, but with modern content (from M1 HD).
That Eastern Block look: the color encoding quirks, FM “fire” artifacts on a CRT pipeline.
No filters, no AI - pure physics simulation from broadcast specs.Brings back the vibe of late-era Hungarian state TV. One of the rarer standards fully modeled in AnalogTV alongside PAL variants and MUSE.

I grew up in a Television Family, and two shows we never missed were our favorite "monster" sitcoms--"The Addams Family," and "The Munsters." I've enjoyed the modern reboots of both, also. #theaddamsfamily #themunsters #hermanmunster #lilymunster #wednesdayaddams #television #tv #tvera #1960s #watchingtelevision #watchingtv #vintagetelevision #vintagetv #classictelevision #classictv #horror #comedyhorror #horrorcomedy #dracula #frankenstein #wolfman #vampire #twentiethcentury

Nearly five decades after its premiere, Welcome Back, Kotter is still one of TV’s most beloved sitcoms.
The Sweathogs, John Travolta’s breakout as Vinnie Barbarino, Gabe Kaplan’s sharp wit, and John Sebastian’s chart-topping theme song all helped cement its place in pop culture history.

The 1967-68 UK TV series Man in a Suitcase takes the basic ITC action-adventure formula and adds a hardboiled flavour, real toughness, grittiness, plus seedy downmarket glamour. And more than a hint of film noir. The best of all the ITC series.

Peter Leslie’s The Cornish Pixie Affair, from 1967, the fifth original novel based on the TV spy series The Girl from UNCLE starts with a murder in a circus (a setting that is used extremely well). Statuettes of pixies play a role. Enjoyable.

Lexx is of course the greatest scifi TV series ever made. It takes the established conventions of TV scifi and thoroughly stomps them. Crazy, stylish, sexy, sleazy, goofy, dark, wildly inventive, with no regard for good taste.

Venus Smith, the forgotten Avengers girl. She was Steed's partner in six 1963 episodes. Fascinatingly different from the other Avengers girls. She had zero combat skills but she was a useful agent. And quite charming.

The Interrogators, a great 1969 Tara King episode of The Avengers, written by Richard Harris and Brian Clemens. Christopher Lee guest stars. Starts with a British agent being interrogated by the bad guys, then the twists begin.

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.

W. Howard Baker’s Storm Over Rockall, the third of the six Danger Man TV tie-in novels. It's an original novel but with similarities to the TV episode Not So Jolly Roger. Someone is sabotaging a British rocket program. It could the Russians, or it could be the Americans.

Dead Duck is an original 1966 novel inspired by the TV series The Avengers. It was credited to Patrick Macnee but was written by Peter Leslie. People keep dying and they've all eaten duck. An engagingly offbeat story with a fine crazy finale.

Man in a Suitcase (1967-68), a British ITC action adventure series TV series with a decidedly gritty hardboiled flavour to it. Richard Bradford’s offbeat performance as a bitter ex-CIA agent turned private eye is the highlight.
Much more hard-edged and cynical than most ITC series.
Superb television.My review: https://cult-tv-lounge.blogspot.com/2016/02/man-in-suitcase-1967-68.html

The first two seasons of Special Branch, made in 1969 and 1970, stand as some of the finest TV espionage drama ever made.
Shot in the style of British TV at that time, in black-and-white on video and mostly in the studio, the series relied on superb writing and an atmosphere of moral ambiguity and paranoia. Brilliant television.
