Around the dial



Goodness, I've been so busy with my fiction this week that it's nice to return to television for a break! So let's get right to it!

The Avengers is part of our regular Friday night schedule, and right now we're winding down the Tara King years. What comes next? The New Avengers, of course! And at Comfort TV, David looks at Imprint's Blu-ray edition, and gives it flying colors.

At Cult TV Blog, John braves the suffocating British heatwave to bring us something completely different: The Great Birdseye Peas Relaunch of Monty Python in 1971. Unsure of what I'm talking about? Then you'd better head over there and check it out!

"Trouble Brewing" is this week's A-Team adventure, and at The View from the Junkyard, Roger looks at a typical tale of small-business vs. corrupt corporation shenanigans, which I can only too well understand as a small businesman myself. 

At A Shoud of Thoughts, Terence pays tribute to the career of the great comic character actor Ronnie Schell, who died earlier this month, and was a fixture of the television shows of my youth, particularly (but not limited to) Gomer Pyle. R.I.P.

At a used bookstore the other night, I noticed a copy of Herbert Philbrick's book I Led 3 Lives, the story of a man who worked undercover posing as a Communist agent while in the employ of the FBI. Martin Grams looks back at the TV series that the book spawned. TV
