TV Moms Reunion Every
generation identifies with a particular TV family. In the 1950s it was
"Ozzie & Harriet" and "Father Knows Best". For
me and other baby boomers, it was "Leave it to Beaver." For
some kids growing up in the 1970s it was "The Brady Bunch" while,

of all ages and races. For Kathryn Morris, star of the hit CBS drama "Cold
Case," it was "Family Ties." Read

John Wayne's Final Years A
longing look at the legend's last years. His TV appearances,
battles with cancer, the last great adventure films and how the Duke faced
death head on. "On location in Durango, Mexico, he amazed me,"
film producer Hal Wallis stated. "Even though he was functioning
on one lung and had a terrible scar running down his back, he showed
no sign of illness or weakness. He did this own riding, roped in
steers, rounded up cattle, and handled the fight scenes without
a double. Only occasionally, in high country, was he short of breath." Read and watch

The
Sonny and Cher Shows
A
lot of press was generated about Cher's exposed belly-button, it had
never been done on television before. "There were so many things that
were censored - ideas and words," Cher said looking back on the show.

Ladd's boobs." Read and watch

The 'New' Dallas Dallas was one of my guilty pleasures and it's nice to see these durable characters back in play, not at all betraying the original intent. The new cast members are servicable and I may come to like them... but they are pretty thinly drawn, at least to start with. Read

Prior to this, Julie Newmar portrayed Catwoman on the TV series, appearing on 12 episodes over 2 years. “The reason Eartha Kitt replaced Julie Newmar during the third season,” writer Stanley Ralph Ross explained. “Was because Julie was doing a movie at the time.

1980's
PUNK ROCK
In the early-eighties, young people in Los Angeles were flocking to

that groups like X, Missing Persons, The Go-Go's, The Minutemen and
Wall of Voodoo entered the public consciousness. Read
