Same here.

I watch those old shows and enjoy the radio versions too.

[bgill]

The original show wasn’t that great. Can’t imagine the new version would be any good. I’ll pass.

[Albion Wilde]

I appreciate your posting the link. Guess he didn’t behave ungentlemanly towards her or we’d be hearing about it.

Bottom line: glad they didn’t hit it off.

Funny, isn’t it, how she, a collge dropout, and DiNiro, who never went to college, think he’s such a “douche”? I saw this when a family member who has a very high IQ was growing up. The average kids in his school thought he was “weird.” The high-IQ kids liked and respected him.

[Cecily]

She called Trump an insulting name, but I have no doubt she made herself available to any number of chauvinistic Hollywood jerks in her younger days. Men who would make Donald Trump look like a saint by comparison.

[Albion Wilde]

I have little doubt. I knew a couple of girls who lived with her in their sorority at Penn. They were all star-struck about "Cakie." I thought she was a beautiful woman in her youth, and not a bad writer—for awhile after she dropped out of school, she wrote at least one feature article that I know of for Esquire magazine which was, if I recall, about women's roller hockey. It's a shame she didn't develop her writing on any substantial topics. By the time Murphy Brown rolled around, her point of view had rotted on the vine. Last time I saw her on tv a couple of years ago, it was in some kind of cops'n' robbers show and she, playing the mother of one of the adult males in the show and old enough to be a grandmother, feigned sexual intercourse with some lowlife in a motel, herself on top. It was a disgusting display, reeking of desperation to be popular again.

[ebshumidors]

She legitimized single mothers for the idiots.

[EdnaMode]

Yup! I’m sure Family Ties is next but Alex Keaton will be a leftist now.

[EdnaMode]

Of course not.

[EdnaMode]

Yup. Anti-Trump vitriol and remakes.

[RinaseaofDs]

Get woke, go broke. It’s going to fail.

I watched a 1953 episode over the weekend and I was quite pleasantly surprised at how still very watchable it was in terms of storyline, writing, etc. Tonight, the granny network up here (Vision TV) is showing the Columbo episode in England (Dagger of the Mind). Last week, it was the John Cassavetes one (Etude in Black).

[wally_bert]

Nothing wrong with classic Columbo.
