Robert B. Parker, Burt Reynolds and B.L. Stryker

When it comes to the TV career of Burt Reynolds, most of us who are in our 40s think of the opening title sequence of Dan August (ABC, 1970-1971), which saw him hurtle his body over the length of a car in what at the time had to be the most spectacular stunt ever attempted [...]

Valentine’s Day Humor Lost On Me

With so much loss and sadness as of late, let me add a little levity to our day, now that I can laugh about it. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I can’t help but reflect on a happening some years ago, when I was in my late twenties. I probably perceived some rather [...]
