Speaking of those two guys in the photo below: The new DVD set of Laurel and Hardy films has been released. I haven't received mine yet but friends who have are writing raves or endorsing reviews like this one. If you want to order a copy of this set, here's an Amazon link.
Jonathan Chait on the ravings of Republican "policy wonk" Paul Ryan. I find it hard to believe Mr. Ryan really believes that what he's advocating would be good for anyone but the super-rich.
This afternoon, Stu Shostak is welcoming another great friend of mine to his show — actress Judy Strangis. I've known Judy since she did the lead voice on a 1981 cartoon series I worked on called Goldie Gold. But I feel like I knew her before that because I always tried to catch her on every TV show she was on...and she was on a lot of them including The Twilight Zone, Batman, Bewitched and her long run on Room 222. She was also, of course, Dynagirl on the 1976 ElectraWoman and DynaGirl feature for Sid and Marty Krofft.
And she was in dozens of other shows and hundreds of commercials. Here she is selling Barbie dolls that back in '76. You will notice she is cuter than the product — and she still is...
I'll sure be listening when she guests today with Stu. The show can be heard live and for free at 4 PM Pacific Time. That's 7 PM Eastern Time and other times in other climes. It runs two hours and Stu will also be talking with Sam Nelson of the Ozzie & Harriet bloodline about his campaign to save that classic show from extinction and obscurity. You can hear it all live at the Stu's Show website at the proper time. If you miss it, fear not. Shortly after the live webcast, the entire program can be downloaded from that site for a measly 99 cents. That's a bargain but try not to miss it in the first place.
