Your favorite classic television shows from the golden age of TV!
New
in the TVparty Classic TV Blog!
In 1973 Lost In Space was re-imagined by Hanna-Barbera as an animated pilot for a possible Saturday Morning series, it was broadcast on ABC's Saturday Superstar Movie. Jonathan Harris provided the voice of Dr. Smith, the only original cast member to be involved and the only recognizable character other that the 'robon' which looks kinda-sorta similar to the Robinson's pet robot. Why adapt a much loved TV series and eliminate almost every element of the original that made it so popular in the first place?
Since 20th Century Fox and Irwin Allen owned the property they could have created likenesses of the rest of the cast without paying them (as they almost did with Uhura in the animated Star Trek) but why redesign the iconic space ship? It was a sloppy poorly produced effort that deserved to be passed over, with no redeeming qualities other than a few decent Jonathan Harris moments.

Bill Paxton Interview
Most people called him Bill. Kevin Costner called him Pax. I called him Billy Blockbuster. That's because Bill Paxton had a talent for appearing in hugely successful and ground breaking projects. His big screen films included The Terminator, Aliens, Twister, Apollo 13, and Titanic. Meanwhile, on television, Paxton starred as a Mormon with three wives in the long running "Big Love", and one time he headed up another kind of controversial clan altogether.

The
Pledge of Allegiance
In
the early-1970s, a regular feature of the Casey Jones Show in the Twin Cities was the playing of a recording
from the 1950s by Red Skelton. This makes for interesting
viewing in light of the recent controversy over two little words in
the Pledge of Allegiance.

Dialing For Dollars?
Many a housewife in the 1960s, and well into the mid-1970s, would be sitting at home eating Bon Bons when the phone rang and a familiar voice asked, "This is Charlie Harville from Channel Eight's Dialing for Dollars calling. Do you know the count and the amount?" If fair maiden was watching the morning or afternoon movie she would know that the "count" was the number spun on the wheel early in the program, and the "amount" (what she could win) would be the money accumulated since the last winner.

Billy Gray Interview
Billy Gray, who played teen Bud Anderson on the 1954-1960 sitcom “Father Knows Best” (FKB) told me, while discussing the DVD release of the series’ fourth season, that a 1962 arrest for possessing “marijuana seed and residue” ruined his career.

Cartoon All-Stars To The Rescue
Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue would combine the talents of television’s top animation studios, the money of the McDonald’s corporation and the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, a team of entertainment industry copyright lawyers and the technical facilities of the Disney Corporation to create a half hour that they anticipated would help effectively and entertainingly explain to children the perils of substance abuse. The project had what seemed to be a sure fire hook - a cast of nearly 20 familiar characters from Saturday morning cartoons of the late-1980s.

1970s Phenomenon : The Gong Show
Chuck Barris
was responsible for some of the most popular programs of the sixties,
primetime and daytime hits like 'The Dating
Game' and 'The Newlywed Game'. These pseudo-game shows fed off
of an individual's willingness to do anything to be on television, 'The
Gong Show' would take that premise a step further. ABC
bought the show for nighttime syndication, to debut in the fall of 1976.

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."

They Made an Album?!?
Yes, most of us are already aware that the likes of William Shatner, John Travolta and various “Brady” kids have all had their dreams of musical greatness and have all put out albums of their warblings at one time or another. But… they are far from alone in the world of surprising others who have also attempted to parlay their notoriety or fame in one field into the world of the recording arts.

My
TV Dads
I realized how important fathers truly were. And I didn’t have
one. In television terms, my father had been written out of my life
when I was three years old, like James had been written out of "Good
Times," although my father hadn’t been killed off. One
day, he simply went away and didn’t return. Too bad life isn’t
more like television, or else there would’ve been a sassy maid
in my home to help guide us children, but in real life most families
can’t afford a live-in maid.

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.
