Where is the line drawn? This is not a soap opera, nor is it a science fiction fantasy production where death means nothing. What is at hand here is a childhood full of happy memories, of silliness, competitiveness, and comraderie. We are talking the singers of the bubblegum classic, "Sugar...

I must admit that I am glad that I never got into the just-ended series, "How I Met Your Mother." The Neil Patrick Harris comedy was one I was interested in watching years ago, but never did because it was on opposite other programs I deemed more desirable and back then I did not have a DVR at...

Known for being diminutive in height yet tough in character, actor Mickey Rooney has died at the age of 93 in the home of his son, where he was reportedly living at the time. The cause of death was not revealed. One of the earliest reports of Rooney's passing came from his son, Michael, who...

It seems like yesterday when David Letterman was appearing on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson." Then, boom, he had his own show, following Carson's yet. After the debacle NBC created by bypasssing Letterman as Carson's successor and selecting Jay Leno to take over "The Tonight Show,"...

Holy Time Gone By. Has it really been a whopping 48 years since Adam West and Burt Ward first zapped their way into our imaginations on the hit NBC series, 'Batman?' It was indeed as the caped crusaders made their debut on January 12, 1966 in an episode entitled, 'Hi Diddle Riddle.' As the...

Bad news for Christopher Meloni fans and his 'Surviving Jack' series: I liked it. Frankly, this means the show's odds on surviving the season are slim. It's not that I'm a jinx to television shows or anything, but let's just say that back in 1990, I was one of the eight loyal viewers to 'Cop...

It's scary to think a show like 'Celebrity Wife Swap' can be successful, but three seasons in that is exactly what this series is. That said, I tuned into an episode this week for the very first time. I ran across it by accident on the Lifetime Channel while setting my DVR for 'Under the...

As a long time (as in decades) viewer of soap operas, or as they are now referred to in a more politically correct phrase, daytime dramas, I have been thoroughly amused and amazed by the latest love triangle on 'General Hospital.' Move aside Scotty-Laura-Luke, Robin-Patrick-Sabrina, and any...

I didn't recognize the name when I heard it many hours ago in the news, but when I saw his picture, I recognized James Rebhorn. I know him best from his role in From the Earth to the Moon, the Tom Hanks produced project where Rebhorn was Harrison Storms, one of the guys who took the fall for...

Maybe it's a salary thing but what's the point here? He's been on the show from the beginning but it's not like he's central to every episode or anything. Why fire one of the only two original cast members? I don't get this one. It really isn't that important to me as I'm not really a fan of...

I was flabbergasted by Sunday's episode of The Good Wife, so much so I wrote a blog about it, which you can read if you like -- http://www.dtvusaforum.com/blogs/orrymain/1058-sundays-good-wife-shocks-surprising-exodus-major-key-player.html -- and then I learned more about it today. The...

Wow! Whoa! Stunner! Didn't see it comin' The above was my reaction to watching Sunday night's latest installment of the CBS' hit drama, 'The Good Wife.' Entitled 'Dramatics, Your Honor,' this fifteenth show of the fifth season had me totally involved throughout. I should have known...

Comedian David Brenner has died at the age of 78. He was at his New York City home at the time. Perhaps best known for his approximately 158 appearances on 'The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson,' the lanky comedian had a successful night club act, allowing him to perform as recently as...

You probably don't know the name but odds are you've heard the voice. He's arguably one of the two most heard voices in the world of theatrical film. Watch the trailer for Seinfeld's Comedian and you can see and hear Hal, who has passed away this week. Hal Douglas, Movie Trailer Voice Over...

Richard Coogan died Wednesday at age 99. Though I remember him mostly from a guest shot in my favorite western series, Laramie, Coogan was probably best known for being the original Captain Video. Campy or not, the ratings were right up there with Uncle Miltie (Milton Berle) and that was big...
