First I binge watched all of 30 Rock. (I say "binge watch." I generally average about one episode a day while eating breakfast or lunch.)
Then I binge watched all of Community. I just finished the sixth season this week. The finale totally made me cry. (Yes, I know the movie is coming soon on Peacock. Yay!) #sixseasonsandamovie
And now today I've started watching one of my childhood favorites, Soap.
As I was watching the first episode this morning I was noticing how old Katherine Helmond, Richard Mulligan, and the other "adults" looked. So I got online. Katherine Helmond (Jessica Tate) was 51 years old. Cathryn Damon (Mary Campbell) was 45 years old, Robert Mandan (Chester Tate) was 46 years old, and Richard Mulligan (Burt Campbell) was 45 years old. Even Robert Guillaume (Benson) was only 49!
I'm 52 years old! Older than them all! Who am I to say they're looking old?? Look in the mirror, Dave!
BTW: I'm older than Jon Hamm by ONE DAY! I think that means I'm as handsome as him, except one day older.
Note: I know that's not Robert Guillaume in the cast photo. When Robert Guillaume left Soap for the spin-off show "Benson," Roscoe Lee Browne ("Box" from Logan's Run - yes, I'm a nerd) was brought in as the new butler.
And completely tangential - John Houseman and Roscoe Lee Browne are in my heart forever!
And for those who might not be familiar with Logan's Run, here is "Box" with a frozen walrus. It's cold down there.
And for those who ARE familiar with Logan's Run - on my 30th birthday I totally went to carousel. There's a carousel on the pier in Santa Monica, and I worked just down the street from it. Lunch time birthday party! I also have a Logan's Run poster, t-shirt, all the books, and I got to meet the author before he died and we had a very lovely conversation. (Except it was kind of sad because I was the only one who knew who he was, and he looked so lonely! This was at the UCLA Festival of Books, where I also met Neil Gaiman before he became the star he is now and he didn't have a line either!)

Saturday Smiles 2
When I posted some comedy clips a couple of weeks ago I did it on a whim, while watching a few on YouTube to brighten up my afternoon. The response was very positive, and it seemed as though I had the beginnings of another occasional series on my hands. So here are some more. Two of these are classic British comedy sketches which are very familiar here, but are always good to see again. I’m not…
