Spun off from The Rifleman, Law of The Plainsman lasted just 1 season on NBC, as apparently, ABC, home of The Rifleman passed on Plainsman.
Marshal Sam Buckhart (Michael Ansara, ex-Broken Arrow) had appeared in 2 episodes of Rifleman, but audiences were indifferent to a series with a Native American lawman as the lead.
Check the opener, "The Prairie Incident".
This is how desperate Dumb Donald is to have his enemies prosecuted, regardless of the lack of evidence.
On Tuesday, former FBI director James Comey was indicted for the 2nd time, this time over a long since deleted instagram post of a formation of seashells reading, "86 47", which the department of injustice claims is a call for violence against the president. No, it isn't.
For someone to be "86'd" doesn't always mean someone's targeted for death. In some cases, you lose your job, and people will say you were "86'd". Unfortunately, the DOI doesn't see it that way, because they have to cater to a president with severe OCD.
Whoopi Goldberg and the panel on The View weigh in.
Harry Ackerman, head honcho of comedy at Screen Gems, must've thought he found something in Jack Warden when he guest starred on Bewitched during the 1st season.
Warden landed his first lead role the next year in The Wackiest Ship in The Army, an hour-long comedy-drama set in World War II. Unfortunately, it lasted just the one season, but not for lack of trying. Gary Collins, Mark Slade, & Rudy Solari co-star, with Karen Steele as a prospective love interest for Warden.
Jack Soo, fresh from Valentine's Day, guest stars in the opener.
"Dumb Donald is really dumb!"---Gene Rayburn, Match Game, 1973-84.
When president Trump announced he was attending this year White House Correspondents' Dinner, he was, in effect, issuing an invitation to any of his detractors, the ones with malice on their minds, to show up in Washington to take a shot at him.
On Saturday night, someone did take him up on the "invitation", but never made it to the ballroom.
Cole Thomas Allen of California, a teacher & mechanical engineer by trade, showed up armed with a handgun, shotgun, and knives, and, per a manifesto released after his arrest on Saturday, had intended to go after the president and most of his cabinet, the lone exception being embattled FBI director "Counterfeit" Kash Patel. While Allen managed to avoid building security, the Secret Service did their job, and captured him before he could reach the ballroom, which was being evacuated.
Unfortunately, there are those on both sides who believe the event was staged as a distraction from Trump's many problems, including the war he started against Iran, and, of course, the ongoing demand for more transparency on the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Well, when you've cried wolf as much as Trump has, skepticism is bound to accompany something like this.
Catering to his obsessive-compulsive need for attention, Trump hastily scheduled an interview with 60 Minutes that aired on Sunday. Norah O'Donnell pressed Trump on whether or not the incident was staged, as people have claimed, and he denied it.
Trump's idea is to spin it to gain sympathy for the need to build his own ballroom at the White House, replacing the East Wing destroyed by Trump last year. There's no guarantee that would be any safer, Dumb Donald! Worse, this oblivious moron wants the dinner rescheduled for next month. That would mean another open invitation for a copycat to try his luck. Trump has bravery confused with stupidity. Nothing new there, though reportedly, he wanted to see what was going on when he should've complied with the Secret Service's effort to remove him from the room. Only a child would linger around out of curiosity. Then again.......!
The first thing Dumb Donald should do is show gratitude to the Secret Service for doing their jobs, maybe offering a raise. But, of course, he won't.
We're in the final week of April, and there's already been a manager firing in Major League Baseball.
No, it's not Carlos Mendoza. Yet.
Instead, Boston's Alex Cora, whose Red Sox are, like the Mets, struggling, was cut even after Boston blew away Baltimore, 17-1, on Saturday afternoon. Chad Tracy, who had been managing Boston's top farm club in Worcester, was promoted as interim manager ahead of today's matinee in Baltimore.
Mendoza's Mets have dropped 14 of their last 16, including the first game of today's doubleheader at home against Colorado. The annual Citi Field injury plague has contributed to the team's offensive funk, with Francisco Lindor going on the IL earlier this week, just as Juan Soto had been activated the same day.
I just don't think Mendoza will last too much longer.
Sports fans in Boston are grateful that the Bruins & Celtics are still playing, given the Red Sox's poor start, but it doesn't overshadow the latest scandal involving the New England Patriots.
Two months after the Patriots were blown out in the Super Bowl, coach Mike Vrabel has taken a leave of absence during the draft after it came out that he'd been having an affair with NFL insider Diana Russini, who is also married, and that this allegedly has been going on since Vrabel was coaching Tennessee a few years ago.
Owner Robert Kraft's political influence within the league ensured that Vrabel would not be investigated. The last thing Kraft wants to have happen is change coaches yet again, after Vrabel took the Pats to the "Big Game" following Jerod Mayo's one year flop.
I've a feeling a change will come anyway.
ESPN's bloviator general, Stephen A. Smith, landed his first endorsement deal since his 2 year stint for Oberto beef jerky a few years back.
CarShield may want a refund.
It's one thing when players past & present are doing ads for CarShield, which sponsors baseball across the majors, including Eric Byrnes and his Hulk Hogan wannabe act. But a marble-brained goof like Smith, who talks like he knows about sports other than basketball, but is often exposed as a poser.
I mean, would you want to buy a car from Smith, or from Ice-T?
A Vista volunteer and a Vietnam veteran are reunited in the US in the episode, "Ride a Turquoise Pony", with John Larch, Peter Duryea (Dan's son), and Jan Clayton (ex-Lassie):
"She" being ventriloquist Shari Lewis, who appeared with Howard Morris (ex-Your Show of Shows, The Andy Griffith Show) in an episode of The Danny Kaye Show.
We've seen Shari sing and perform magic in addition to her work as a puppeteer. Now, she steps into a new role as a dancer in this show-stopping number.
