While channel-surfing on my little office TV last week around 1 a.m., looking for something to keep me company, I stumbled across an episode of
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (star Richard Basehart, pictured), followed by
Combat!.
"What is this channel that plays all these old shows I remember as a kid?" I asked the TV Gods.
"It's AmericanLife," they replied. "They feature classic family shows aimed at Baby Boomers -- shows like
Remington Steele, The Courtship of Eddie's Father,
Lost in Space, and
Welcome Back, Kotter."
Ok, the TV Gods didn't really say that. I looked it up on
the AmericanLife Web site, not to be confused with Showtime's
This American Life, the fab documentary series hosted by Ira Glass.

Given that you've made the wise choice to visit tvsquad.com, I feel pretty safe jumping to the conclusion that you are a fan of television. With that in mind, you should really enjoy the round table Hollywood Reporter recently put together with Damon Lindelof (Lost), Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies), David Shore (House), Matthew Weiner (Mad Men), and Craig Thomas (How I Met Your Mother).
The group got together to talk about a number of different topics. Among them, the strike and what could be the cause of the lowered numbers as shows came back. They also share some amusing examples of they hypocrisy that is network standards and practices. The Emmys come up as well, with the group sharing their thoughts about who is deserving of consideration. It all makes for an interesting look behind the scenes and is definitely worth your click. And if all that isn't enough, the story also includes a video where Damon Lindelof manages to reference both Nash Bridges and Remington Steele. Who can pass up Nash Bridges?

Here's a bit of James Bond trivia for you. Pierce Brosnan was
originally the prime candidate to take over as Bond after
Remington Steele was taken off the air due to bad
ratings. Once that word got out and got people interested in
Remington Steele via reruns, NBC brought the
series back for one more season, causing Brosnan to bow out of the Bond race, putting Timothy Dalton into the role. Now
that Brosnan is through being Bond himself, he's interested in seeing the 80s television show he started out in
come to the big screen. Negotiations are underway.
