The House That Brady Built  As a self-professed “Bradyholic,” my obsession has been with the space that surrounded the Brady cast during production. In addition, the mystique that surrounds the North Hollywood house used only for exterior shots is incredible by anyone’s standards. Really, can you think of any other TV house on this planet that [...]

 Adrian Monk’s encyclopedic knowledge of “The Cooper Clan” helps him crack the case. If you missed the season  premiere of Monk last night, then run (don’t walk) over to USA Network while the episode is still available for streaming.  You’ll find a show that affectionately satirizes the Brady Bunch phenomenon, from the dedication of trivia-spouting fans [...]

In my business you have the opportunity to meet some incredible people. While I’ve been lucky enough to work on a lot of different television and theater projects, I owe a lot of those meetings to The Brady Bunch. Some, like Don Drysdale and Joe Namath, were captured on the show for everyone to see. [...]

After hanging out over here for the last year and a half, Barry paid me a visit over at my site! In the brand new episode of my retro pop culture podcast, “Just My Show,” the boss and I covered everything from the layout of the Brady house to the back story of the families [...]

  See you in Vegas? I love Las Vegas.  For me, the only thing better than going there for a vacation, is working there.  Especially when I’m working  on the Strip and not only is my name up in lights but a giant 45 foot headshot as well.  The best lighting, best sound, best [...]

Years before personal computers gave everyone the tools to become amateur graphic artists, my adolescent bedroom was adorned with an eye-catching movie poster. A man and two children were painted in the foreground, running toward the viewer while glancing behind them, as if being pursued. Towering over them on the horizon stood massive stone letters spelling out the title of the film: BLOCKBUSTER. Breathless testimonies (...the movie of the year! ...the star of the century!) were accompanied by explosions in the sky and a jet soaring overhead. Above the legend Together Again As You've Never Seen Them Before! screamed red marquee lettering that proclaimed the stars of this cinematic event: ROBERT REDFORD and...well, and BOB HUNT! Or whatever your name happened to be, if you were a fan of Dynamite magazine and took a few minutes to ferret out the correct letters, lick the gummed backing, and carefully affix them to that month's bonus poster. Yes, Dynamite, the short-on-pages (36, including the card stock covers) long-on-content (no ads!) periodical that once competed with other Scholastic titles in those colorful Arrow Book Club fliers you might have brought home from school.

‘Only valid for my blog and facebook friends’ Vegas is one of my favorite places. I love the energy and the mix of fun, interesting people. I’m here for the next few weeks performing in Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding. It’s a great show if I say so myself. We’re having a great time. I worked with [...]

‘Look closely, that’s me making my first landing!’ Along the way to reaching a goal there are milestones that must be achieved. I recently took on the goal of becoming a private pilot and I am happy to say I just hit one of those milestones. At some point if you want to swim you have [...]

BEST WRITING (nominate episodes): I nominate Brad Radnitz for "Confessions, Confessions," a beautifully paced episode that peaks in the middle with the famous leaking-vase scene and then builds the tension up again until nearly the last second, keeping the audience wondering if Peter will ever tell the truth. BEST GUEST STAR PERFORMANCE - MALE: I nominate Davy Jones for "Getting Davy Jones." The sight and sound of the beloved Monkee clasping hand to headpone and warbling "Girl" has been treasured by Brady fans for decades. BEST GUEST STAR PERFORMANCE - FEMALE: I nominate Imogene Coca for her eccentric yet endearing performance as "Jan's Aunt Jenny." BEST EPISODE: Well, I gotta go with the top of my Brady Six for this one. I nominate my all-time favorite, "Cyrano de Brady." And while we're at it, here's one more category for us to consider.

‘Dad, Brandon and a Trotter – Al’s right behind us’ One of the enjoyable yet surprising parts of being Dad to a six year old son is reliving my own childhood.  It is completely enjoyable to watch his face delight in the discovery of new activities, skills, sports, food, plays and movies.  Brandon was first introduced [...]
