Top 10 Shows of All-Time

-

Buddy sent me a list of the top 10 television series according to someone.

Got me thinking about mine, and I may have done this before, but, it goes like this:

1). The Sopranos - Gandolfini is impossible to look away from and Edie Falco is almost just as great. We’ve watched it 4 times from start to finish and we will do it again.

2). Breaking Bad - Cranston was awesome - they did drama so well. Loved every episode. Especially ‘The Fly’.

3). Succession - everyone was so disgusting - it was funny and the drama was also well contrived.

4). House - another great actor - Hugh Laurie - and he reminded me of someone - especially when someone asked him a dumb question.

5). Better Call Saul- Saul Goodman is one of the best characters ever.

6). Modern Family - it’s our go-to show when there’s nowhere else to go. We still laugh at jokes we’ve heard a bunch of times.

7). Landman - Billy Bob is another great actor. Could have picked Goliath too. I could watch him recite the alphabet.

8). Bosch - Titus Welliver is another great actor and he owns that character - could watch that show all day.

9). The Odd Couple - watched it with Mom and Dad - if it’s on, I’m watching it - loved Jack Klugman.

10). The Wire- I did have something else on the list, but was reminded of this one - great show.

Mayor of Kingstown was the one that got bumped. More great acting and even better drama.

There’s Still Greatness

The other night I got home from work and Kathy and Sam were engaged in a game of backgammon. Sam had never played and wanted to learn. He got some late doubles and won his debut game. (I helped a little). And I thought of my buddy, Gag. We were roommates at Gannon back in 1983. We played at least 25 games of backgammon a night. By the end of the year he wound up beating me by just a couple of games out of a few thousand. That’s 60-year-old Gag in the photo - running the Disney marathon with his son, MJ - they do it every year. To raise money for Duchenne MD research. “He’s running again?” Kathy asked me as we talked about the donation.  “Of course.” “Italian men, man,” Kathy said. “You’re a stubborn, loyal lot.” “I ain’t running no marathons,” I said. “Gag is a maniac.” I enjoy following the posts as the run progresses - on Saturday morning I was fighting a cold or some such crap… …and they were running in the rain in Florida. There is a lot of negative energy in the news we see br...

My sister’s book is out there! Go get it!! It makes me so proud to see the book on Amazon, knowing that it’s very, very great! It’s been a long, long time since we were out in California, brainstorming my stories long before they were published. Carrie Lynn was writing, writing and writing some more through the years and I kept telling her… …”Go for it!” Well, she did!  To amazing results. Of course I was able to read the book as it was being put together, but I ordered a copy from Amazon yesterday and can’t wait to read it again. The shoe is on the other foot now as I have been sitting on a lot of my writing lately. I plan on getting it out there before the end of 2024, but for now: Carrie takes center stage! And it’s so great… …go get a copy!

Eyes on the Horizon Review

It’s always strange for me when someone I know tells me that they read my books and it’s weird for them because they think of me as they’re reading the story. I didn’t quite grasp what they meant, and hoped that they’d get caught up in the story and not me. I kind of get what they’re saying now because I just finished reading my sister Carrie Lynn’s excellent first book, ‘Eyes on the Horizon’. Now, I had read the story a long while ago, but a whole lot of work went into the end product. As a writer, I always try and guess along with the author because I can see the plot lines, and I’m often critical of plot lines that come out of nowhere as the author tries to unpaint the corner he’s stuck in. There was none of that in ‘Eyes on the Horizon’! I didn’t have any moments of, ‘Come on, now, that doesn’t work!’ I caught all the subtle lines that we shared in conversations and I was proud that Carrie defined her characters clearly and used them to propel the story forward. I’ve also coached h...
