Sean DeLear - Sheila from Funky Cold Medina has died! In 1989 Sean DeLear was cast as Sheila in Tone Loc and Matt Dike’s video for Funky Cold Medina, one of the biggest selling singles in history. I suppose that will be his most lasting legacy. But not with me, I didn't even know that until years later. It was his electrifying stage performances I'll remember.

Liberace!
Who can explain the phenomenon that was Liberace? He sold millions of albums, was loved here and abroad... and he became a glittering Las Vegas icon. He had a way with the piano that few before or since have mastered, whether it was playing the classics or contemporary works. The music he created was stunningly gorgeous. Liberace was a frequent guest on TV variety shows and had his own TV series and yearly specials.

Sky King
"Out of the blue of the western sky comes... Sky King!" Nabisco's kid friendly cowboy in the air was popular for two decades on the weekends - and years before that on radio. Likable stars Kirby Grant and Gloria Winters were matched with believable scripts, stark desert scenery and exciting aerial shots.

Wicked Queen!
Paul
Lynde was in the queue in front of a black guy, and Lynde started telling
him he should apply for a job there, and started mouthing off on how lazy
blacks were, etc. Unfortunately for Paul, this particular black man was
a Professor of Sociology at Northwestern, who went straight home and wrote
a strong letter to the press. Lynde went apoplectic with apologies, citing
stress, medication and exhaustion (I seem to remember he blamed anything
except being an alcoholic loudmouth). And,
not long after that, he was dead."

The Original Dark Shadows Movies
For me, House of Dark Shadows stands as the most effective TV adaptation to the big screen until Star Trek II the Wrath of Khan came along in 1982.
The daytime soap opera Dark Shadows struggled to find an audience before Jonathan Frid joined the cast as Barnabas Collins. This happened in 1967 just after Batman ignited in primetime; both Frid and Adam West became instant pop icons. Perhaps it was the success of the Batman movie that prompted MGM to green light a film version of Dark Shadows four years later.

Amos
'n' Andy
Amos 'n' Andy had all of the elements of an enduring classic; first-rate scripts
that would rival the best episode of I Love Lucy for hilarious
plot weavings along with lovable characters played with aplomb by
masterful actors clearly in their element. But there was an inescapable
component to Amos 'n' Andy that overshadowed the superior accomplishments
of the actors and production staff - the actors were black and the
year was 1951.

Bizarre Life & Death of Joe E. Ross
Car 54 was dropped after two terms and a few years later Joe E. Ross landed the show I first saw him on, It's About Time, which I loved as a 9 year old. The kooky combo of Joe E. Ross and Imogene Coca was hard to resist. Again his co-workers complained about his loutish behavior and that one season wonder was the comedian's last primetime series.

1960's Soap Opera Themes
The Edge of Night came on CBS in the afternoons so this is the Soap Opera theme I remember best as a young kid, just getting home from school. It reminds me of laundry being done and dinner on the stove (the kids ate early at our house). There's something eerie about this theme, the show had a dark undertow and a generally seedy nature. And then there was Dark Shadows.

What Happened to What's Happening!!?
"Haywood was a really good kid and Ernest was an
excellent actor. Fred Berry was the one to look out for. He could be trouble.
He received many of the show's big laughs. Unfortunately, he later had
some personal problems that carried over onto the set. After
I had left the show, there was a big contract dispute and I was told that
Fred was the instigator behind the trouble that followed. He convinced
Ernest and Haywood to join him in a strike for more money. Eventually,
the producers simply had enough of the boys' antics and they closed the
series down."

PUNK ROCK
In the early-eighties, young people in Los Angeles were flocking to
makeshift clubs in droves to see new, up and coming bands. Live new
music, not DJs, was what they craved. These writings provide a sketchy
look at the underground club scene in Los Angeles during the time
that groups like X, Missing Persons, The Go-Go's, The Minutemen and
Wall of Voodoo entered the public consciousness.
