📺CBS, Summer 1980. A rerun of WKRP in Cincinnati… followed by “a hot new comedy” about a Soviet athlete defecting to America for love.💕 CBS in 1980 tried this Cold War sitcom called Phyl & Mikhy during the same summer the U.S. boycotted the Moscow Olympics. Oops...

#OnThisDay 1987: Scarecrow and Mrs. King ended its 4-season run on CBS. Admit it: your mom watched. 😄 This 87 promo promised spies, drug syndicates, Dallas revenge, and a completely unhinged Falcon Crest: "Somebody kidnapped my baby!" "Give me the scissors!" Friday night TV was a different world.

They promised something out there… and NBC delivered— at first. 👽 A hit miniseries with aliens, killer effects, and a cop/ET team-up turned into a very different show once the series hit the air. Watch the original NBC promo and see the version audiences signed up for...

#OnThisDay 1986: The Last Precinct ended its run on NBC. This one-hour comedy starred Adam West and a precinct full of oddballs, stereotypes, fourth-wall breaks, and general chaos. It lasted just two months before getting flattened by Dallas.

40 years ago: NBC’s 1986 “Come Home” campaign already felt like a televised revival meeting… but then they got Michael Landon from Highway to Heaven to personally invite viewers home to NBC. 😇📺 It was like a divine command to watch Thursday night television.

Sharing a video clip of our reminder yesterday to the Church that it must act and speak up more powerfully on climate change. We were at Westminster Abbey, but our Pentecost message is for the whole Church. The lives of all humanity and all Creation should be a matter of our deepest concern.

Day 492 - Cutting gasoline/energy prices 50% by 19 JAN 2026 ? Just another broken promise. This video shows trump making that promise on 29 September 2024 at a campaign rally in Erie Pennsylvania. He also promised to NOT allow cuts to Medicaid/Medicare, and to lower grocery prices on day 1. Nope

Massie’s bill exposed 2 dozen CEOs and world leaders in 6 months. He had 7 months left, so the GOP panicked, blasted voters with fake AI deepfakes to destroy his credibility, and shut him down. They are actively protecting the worst monsters on earth, and they just proved it.

use your imagination that ballroom he just has to have because Marlargo isn’t enough it’s not about the ballroom. It’s about the Epstein’s Island bunker. He’s building underneath because anything Hitler had Trump has to have as well. He won’t even use any of his stolen money to pay his hit squad.

I got that the other day. It does its best with the only source print, but is still really good. Curious 'duplicated and reversed shots' shades of Doctor Who: Underworld. I saw it on C4 in the early 90s on a Casio pocket tv and fell in love with it.
