Some insightful words from Nelson Mandela (6-12-1990), who was once considered a "terrorist" by the colonial super powers of the world (US / UK *and friends*) to then later be awarded such honors as the Nobel Peace Prize and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He is an example of a person utilized as a token for revisionist history.

"They [Arafat, Castro, Gaddafi] fully support the anti-apartheid struggle. They do not only support it in rethoric, they are placing resources at our disposal for us to win the struggle. That is the position."

Loki: Breaking Brad – TV Review

TL;DR – A follow-up that plays with intensity and emotions.   ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4 out of 5. Disclosure – I paid for the Disney+ subscription that viewed this show.Post-Credit Scene – There is no End-Credit Scene. Loki Review – Last week, we dived into the first episode of Loki’s second season with Ouroboros, and to be clear, we came in with a bit of trepidation. But after a solid first episode,…

as much as i love watching shows like new girl and the big bang theory, to this day i will never forgive their showrunners for their complete lack of Mexican representation (and the cleaning staff at the university they showed once in season 1 doesn’t count) like have they ever been to LA?? or anywhere near Southern California? pretty careless if you ask me.

#beyond negligent #new girl #the big bang theory #i know the Big Bang Theory cast was out their fighting for equal pay for the women so I guess they had their own battle to fight for #but still it’s pretty fuckin ridiculous #lack of poc #lack of Mexican representation #and Asian representation #and diversity in general??? #like they could have thrown in one black dude in scenes at the comicbook store #I just started watching the big bang theory and I completely forgot they were even in California lol #tv #tv series #sitcom #american sitcom #american television #like how does this even make sense? #people in the future are gonna be pretty confused lol #this is why I need to get back into watching Insecure or Atlanta

Many golden age British sitcoms were recast and adapted for the US market; Steptoe and Son became Sandford and Son, Man About the House became Three's Company, 'Til Death Us Do Part became All in the Family, and For the Love of Ada became A Touch of Grace.

Some found lasting success, while others never made it past the US pilot stage. One that sank like a stone was The Rear Guard, a 1976 attempt to recreate the success of Dad's Army.

With the original cast busy with the Dad's Army stage tour during 1976, Writers Jimmy Perry and David Croft were invited by ABC (America) to submit a script, and they chose, from a catalogue of over 70 episodes by this point, an adaptation of probably the most famous and best-remembered, The Deadly Attachment, from 1973, in which Philip Madoc played a captured U-Boat captain, confined with his crew by the Home Guard awaiting transfer to a POW facility.

When the U-Boat captain demands Private Pike's name for insulting Hitler, Captain Mainwaring calls, "Don't tell him, Pike!", a moment that is often rated just behind Del-Boy falling through the bar as one of the funniest moments in British comedy.

The Home Guard was reimagined as a WWII civil defence unit for the American version, guarding against an invasion of the US mainland. Notable cast members included Eddie Foy Junior, a member of the famous Vaudeville family, who played Bert Wagner (Cpl Jones), Captain Mainwaring became Nick Rosatti (Cliff Norton) and Private Pike became Bobby Henderson, played by Dennis Kort.

(Yep, Nick Rosatti did call out, "Don't tell him, Henderson!")

The platoon sergeant, Raskin, was played by Lou Jacobi, and the likeable villain (Walker), became Don Crawford and was played by John McCook, who has since carved out a long career in The Bold and the Beautiful and won a daytime Emmy for most outstanding actor in 2022.

The pilot aired on US television in the summer of 1976, but was not particularly well received. The network wiped the master tape, although copies are held in private collections.

In a later interview, Jimmy Perry and David Croft recalled that, when they arrived in the US, they were picked up from the airport in a limousine and generally treated like royalty by the network.

They had to find their way back to the airport in a cab.

Ok. How is anyone surviving network television? The ads every 5 minutes are driving me insane.

It’s weird to see one of the programme’s actors turn up on an American series or film,

with an American accent and his/her voice is so much deeper!

Loki: Science/Fiction– T.V. Review

TL;DR – A solid interlude preparing us for the chaos that will be the season/series finale. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4 out of 5. Disclosure – I paid for the Disney+ subscription that viewed this show.Post-Credit Scene – There is an audio cue at the End of the Credits. Loki Review – Now Loki likes big ‘what the heck moments’ that dramatically shift everything we know. It didn’t hit as well as it could…
