At The Horn Section, Hal goes back 50 years to the TV Guide of November 30, 1974, with Teresa Graves as the cover story. Hal also looks at Cleveland Amory's review of Police Woman, as well as the rest of the issue. He even has a kind word for yours truly—thanks, my friend, and nicely done!
As you may recall, at Cult TV Blog, John has been recently reviewing some of the roles played by character actress Ann Way, and in his latest installment, he looks at her appearance in Dr. Finlay's Casebook, and the episode "The Phantom Piper of Tannochbrae." Sounds interesting!
Gill is back at RealWeegieMidget as she and her other half look at some TV movies from the 1970s, 80s and 90s: five love stories, four of which have connections to Dallas. How many of them do you remember watching back in the day?
The Hitchcock Project continues at bare•bones e-zine, with Jack presenting the Roland Kibbee episode "Diagnosis: Danger" from the show's eighth season, and the first with a one-hour running time. Definitely not one of the highlights of the series, but check out Jack's review anyway.
At Comfort TV, David's journey through 1970s TV brings us to Mondays in 1975: CBS carries the day with a quartet of classic sitcoms plus Medical Center, but do you remember The Invisible Man or Barbary Coast? One show from back then is still on: Monday Night Football, of course.
Catching up with some news from last week, Terence remembers the late Earl Holliman at A Shroud of Thoughts. Holliman was one of those actors who always seemed overshadowed by his costars, but watch him in the first episode of The Twilight Zone to see how he could carry a story by himself.
At Television Obscurities, Robert marks the 30th anniversary of Earth 2, which ran for one season on NBC in 1994-95. If you've enjoyed Television Obscurities through the years, credit Earth 2 as one of the series that led to Robert's interest in short-lived series.
Speaking of celebrations, Travalanche commemorates Woody Allen's 89th birthday with a look at his television work from 1960 to 1972, when he was from a stand-up comedian to an auteur. You might be surprised at how ubiquitous he was on the tube.
And at The View from the Junkyard, Mike and Roger look at the penultimate episode of The Twilight Zone, "The Fear." It's a hit-and-miss episode, as was so often the case in the final couple of seasons, but it still asks some potent questions. TV
Thanks, Mitchell!
