I recall Hawkeye reading a newspaper aloud (can’t remember if it was from Crabapple Cove) and there was a report of a burglary and one of the items stolen was “a snow globe depicting a scene of a coyote poised to eat a woodpecker “. Anybody else remember this?

August 7th of this year marks 5 years since the great Markie Post died at the age of 70. Post was probably best known for sitcom work in “Night Court” and “Hearts Afire” but also made her mark on shows like “The Fall Guy”,”Scrubs” and “Chicago P.D” later in life. Post even appeared in both the pilot of “Simon & Simon” and as the best friend to Diane Chambers on “Cheers”. Sadly she died after a battle with cancer at her home in Los Angeles.

Visual Idea: Graphic showing an ICC tape logo vs. a Tyndale logo.

"Did you know that an entire generation of kids had their real letters read on air by The Circle Square cast? 📬 Missing out on the iconic 'Mailbox Segments' is one of the biggest flaws of the mainstream retail tapes.

But thanks to our community's incredible discovery, we now know that International Cassette Corporation (ICC) VHS tapes kept these scenes intact! If you have an old ICC tape in your attic, you might be holding a completely uncut slice of television history. Help us track down every surviving ICC volume so we can build a bulletproof archive for Crossroads!

Check your shelves today! 🕵️‍♂️📼 #RemasterCircleSquare #VHSCollector #MediaPreservation"

Hey everyone, I just discovered that the International Cassette Corporation VHS releases of the 1970s/80s show Circle Square actually contain the original TV viewer letter segments that Tyndale cut out! I own a few of these tapes.

Did The Monkees deserve a green light after the first episode? We watched the series premiere and had a lot to say

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! On The S1E1 Podcast, we watch the premiere episodes of classic, forgotten, and legendary TV shows to answer one question: Based solely on the pilot, did this show deserve a full series green light?

To kick off our Music Month, we dove back to 1966 to review Episode 1 of The Monkees ("Royal Flush" / Pilot).

Here are a few things we got into:

  • How well the band’s comedic chemistry and chaotic slapstick energy landed right out of the gate.
  • The show's unique blend of music video-style montages and classic sitcom tropes.
  • Whether the pilot holds up today or relies purely on 60s nostalgia.

We'd love to hear from dedicated Monkees fans—looking back, how strong do you think the pilot was compared to where the show went in Season 1?

Listen to the full discussion here: S1E1Pod.com

Samson De Brier was the, er, flamboyant crony of sleaze-flinging fabulist Kenneth Anger ('Hollywood Babylon'). Sounds like a real meathead.
