You rock Ken! Thanks for the daily tv education,
Here’s the link for the study referenced: The next “Real Don Steele” isn’t being cultivated in small market stations.ĭo you agree? Has the practice of playing the same song every hour ad nauseum (do I need to say more than “Kung Fu Fighting”) brought about the demise of the once great American radio station and DJ?
There’s no Beaver Cleaver out there today (love ya Ken!). I’m sure there are still some very good stations in the US but for the most part, I don’t hear it. While I’m a big fan of what America has done to accelerate their pivot to digital (the iHeart app is a brilliant idea and love what Townsquare does) I long ago lost interest in listening to US radio. I think the chart reveals the USA has lost audience because of quality. What about podcasts? Well the USA did edge slightly above Australia, 26% to 25% It’s my understanding that satellite radio doesn’t exist in the UK or Australia, so it’s unlikely that number is any more than 5% though. A whopping 81% of Brits listen to the radio in a given week compared to America’s 59%. America ranked behind Canada, the UK, and Australia for a percentage of total listeners above the age of 16. This week they released a study and the results don’t bode well for radio in the USA. The Infinite Dial is America’s longest-running survey of digital media consumer behavior in America. Of course, now I wish we had them perform an opera. It was such a joy that pretty much anything we dreamed up they could do. I’m assuming everyone else could carry a tune as well. Gary was in the original YOU’RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN. The cast only sang only on rare occasions. What can you share about the musical talents of the M*A*S*H cast? I always felt sorry for Gary Burghoff and William Christopher, who had to be great musicians to sound that bad (especially Radar with the trumpet). The laughs come from attitudes and character, not “jokes” per se. If a character intentionally said something witty usually it was recognized.įor the most part, however, the characters did not know they were in a comedy. This was always a fine line to walk, but I would say this. But did the writers feel that the characters were that self-aware in-story? We had a feature career at that time.ĭo you think that the characters in "Frasier" knew that they were funny? They often made objectively witty remarks that someone of their intelligence would recognize as witty or funny. But we were non-exclusive and were able to work on other shows, pilots, and primarily movies as well. We were Creative Consultants and wrote 40 episodes. We left to create our own shows but did come back. What happened? Why did you leave the staff? You and David Isaacs are listed as co-producer for Cheers in season one and then while you wrote more episodes, it looks like you weren't on staff any longer. Some of you will doubtless comment that it was a great show, but I don't feel cheated not having watched it. I did draw the line at THE FLYING NUN however. I can't tell you one memorable thing about that show except wondering why, in the opening titles, the girls bathed in the town's water supply.īut back then (the Stone Age) we just had three networks so I must’ve watched hundreds of hours of utter crap. I did occasionally watch PETTICOAT JUNCTION, and it must’ve been to ogle the girls because the show itself was seriously stupid. When Shelley Long was pregnant in season 3 we had to find ingenious ways of hiding that fact since we didn't want Diane to be in a "motherly way." You’ll notice she holds a tray in front of her, and in one case we had her trapped in the floor - so the usual hiding techniques. 2) Growing up in the sixties, did you ever watch the show just for the daughters and, if so, did you prefer the blonde, brunette, or red head? Couple questions: 1) Have you ever had to resort to this on any of your shows. Googling confirmed this was done in a few episodes. Recently saw an old PETTICOAT JUNCTION episode where it was obvious they were using a stand-in in some scenes for the brunette daughter where spent entire scene without speaking and with back to camera or with hands covering side of face as walked past camera. Let’s begin the month with Friday Questions.
