Welcome! Once a journalist, always a journalist. I left the news business to try something completely different (for a time), but realized I still felt the need to keep up with all that's going on around us. So, this blog emerged as a way for me to filter some of what I feel is important, interesting or funny and pass it along to you. Enjoy! And, feel free to comment on any post.
A couple of us old TV folks have a Facebook discussion underway about the best of the TV promos. They don't do them today anywhere near as well as they did in the 1970's and 1980's. One of my favorites (maybe because I was doing news for a great ABC affiliate in Iowa at the time) was the "Come On Along" promo that featured darn near every star from the "Glory Days" of ABC programming (we're talking Fonzie, Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Fantasy Island, etc). It's no wonder ABC was a dominant #1 at the time. Many stations ran the two minute version. Here's one that's longer, and even more entertaining. Don't let the long 'chopper sequence at the beginning put you off. Remember, those were the early days of TV stations using helicopters.
Once a journalist, always a journalist. I left the news business for something completely different (for a time), but just can't ignore what's going on in the world around me. This blog is one way for me to keep my finger on the pulse of everything and filter some good bits of information to you.
