| OldMod67 18th Jul 2024 |  | TVHill Street Blues (1981 - 1987) | James B Sikking as the awesome Howard Hunter has passed away, aged 90. One of my favourites throughout the series. |
| OldMod67 5th Jul 2024 |  | TVStax: Soulsville U.S.A. (2024) | Rated 7/10I was incredibly eager to see this series, which had been mentioned for a couple of years and it's well worth a watch. Previous features on Stax have never disappointed, despite having to cover a vast history in one-off efforts, literally a label of two halves, - the spinning discs and the post-Otis finger clickin' era. On-camera interviews with surviving artists and writers was very welcome, which included Stax insider and archivist Deanie Parker who's always a great listen. Great to see the makers managed to capture filmed interviews with those that have since passed, Jim Stewart of course but also the wonderful Bettye Crutcher who is often overlooked in the Stax story. Although not everything can be captured (even Rob Bowman's welcome nineties book had to limit itself), there were a few things that jarred by their omission. The Jim and Estelle label start-up, with financing and initial Satellite imprint, yes it's been covered elsewhere but if this was the high profile final word, I expected a mention. And to book-end it, the sad ending didn't mention the promising reconvening of the MGs and subsequent murder of Al Jackson Jr before that could occur. That subject is still controversial, with plenty of speculation, but remains untold. An acknowledgement of the events should have been included at the very least. The four parts could easily have been longer. It reminded me of watching and taping The Beatles Anthology from the initial TV broadcast and then getting the expanded version when released on sell-through, so much more. Perhaps there will be. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review? |
| OldMod67 17th Jun 2024 | | TVStax: Soulsville U.S.A. (2024) | HBO Documentary in four episodes: 1 Cause I Love You 2 Soul Man 3 Respect Yourself 4 Nothing Takes The Place Of You Further details Note: as of July 18th, this series has been nominated for two Emmys! |
| OldMod67 16th Mar 2022 |  | TVPhilip K. Dick's Electric Dreams (2017 - Now) | This series (still just the one, so far) was made by Sony and shown on Channel 4 in the UK and Amazon in the USA. Of the ten episodes, five were shot in England and five in America. The tie-in book contains the ten original source stories, with alternate script title where different, along with an introduction to each by the writer who adapted the story for the series. |
| OldMod67 26th Feb 2022 |  | TVCelebrity Squares (1975 - Now) | Belated reply (6 years later!) I had no idea back then that there was a U.S. version! The UK version was really popular, so much so that I had a tie-in board game for Christmas in the mid seventies. |
