2) Robert Guillaume: I still haven't discovered the whole story behind the Guillaume/Coleman partnership, but I can report that he executive-produced The Fantastic World of D.C. Collins, a non-Bob G. movie Gary made after The Kid Trilogy. So there's something there.
I can also report that Clayton Endicott is a turkey!
3) Rudy Desautel: I don't care if the star pro football wideout on The Kid with the Broken Halo is a fictional character. I NEED more Rudy Desautel. Why didn't NFL Films ever do a Rudy Desautel highlight film?
4) June Allyson: I think the longtime Hollywood star deserves a slot without a reference to her Depends commercials.
5) Mason Adams: Sure, he is great in Halo and on Lou Grant, but listen to his voice in countless commercials of the BOTNS era. He is the sound of our innocent childhoods, right up there with ice cream trucks, school bells, and Judas Priest songs.
6) Kate and Allie: The Eighties CBS sitcom, largely overlooked in recent years, made its streaming debut on Roku Channel this week. Check out a young Kelsey Grammer in the debut episode.
7) Ironside: Also new to streaming is this Raymond Burr crime drama, which originally aired on NBC from 1967 to 1975. Is it a coincidence that two Universal shows are just making it to streaming on demand? Might we finally see Quincy and Kojak soon?
8) The Karate Kid: Cinemark Theaters' Big in '84 promotion enabled me to see the 1984 film for a mere 5 bucks this week, and I was surprised how well it held up. Laurie and I watched an episode of the 1989 cartoon series later, and...Did I mention how well the movie held up?
9) The Incredible Hulk (1982): No, this cartoon isn't on Disney Plus yet, but given the fact that they are raising the price of the service yet AGAIN, surely they have to give us something from the archives, right? Right?
10) R.I.P. Afa, Peter Marshall:
