Around the dial

At Comfort TV, David gets the week off to a flying start with a look at Sunday night television in 1978. If you were around you remember the hype machine for Battlestar: Galactica, but what were people actually watching? See if it rings any bells.

"Double Vision" is what I feel I've been having, working on the lead-up to the release of my new novel, The Book of Revelations, next week. But it's also the title of the latest episode of The Omega Factor, which is John's topic at this week's Cult TV Blog. It's a doozy, setting up next week's finale.

At The View from the Junkyard, Roger's weekly review of The A-Team takes us to "Bounty," not as in "Mutiny on the," but as in a group of bounty hunters out to claim the reward for the capture of the Team. Kidnapping, mental hospitals, Decker returns: what more could your ask for?

Terrence pays tribute to the late Anthony Head at A Shroud of Thoughts, and for those of you who, like me, tend to trend older in our classic TV appreciation, he's best known as Rupert on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He's got a long list of credits to go with that, though: learn more about him, as you'll find out.

One of the great pleasures of attending nostalgia conventions (or working at them, if you're on that side of the table), is getting to meet so many people, from those interested in your books, to your entertainment heroes. Martin Grams tells of one such encounter, when he met the great Christopher Lee. 

And why not close out things with some video? The latest edition of American TV with Mitchell Hadley sees Dan Schneider and I discussing two game show icons of the 1970s, appropriate for the month: Paul Lynde and Charles Nelson Reilly. Enjoy! TV
