Oscar: The Partridge family was yet another great show created in the 70s. The best part about the show for me was the love/hate relationship between Danny (Bonaduce) and Keith (David Cassidy) providing some of the funniest scenes in my opinion. I grew up with six brothers so I totally understood the relationship!!! Emmy: I…

Oscar: This movie is definitely in the top 3 favorites for me. The maniacal genius who is Stanley Kubrick created a vibe in this movie that makes the hairs on your arm stand straight up as soon as you enter the Outlook Hotel (The Stanley Hotel in real life). I’ve seen this movie many times…

Oscar: Ah yes, good ol’ Happy Days!! This was a great show to watch when you were a 70s kid…though, as most shows go, the creators had to evolve trying to reach a larger audience or taking a show about the 50s while attempting to stay relevant with the times and fashions. In my honest…

Oscar: I’ve been to Seattle many times as I used to live in Washington State from 1977 to 1985. It is a beautiful state and Seattle is a beautiful city. This is a love story about two people who meet after a widowed father’s son calls a radio talk show and talks his dad into…

Oscar: This one is for Jimbob who asked if I had drawn it. I did like the Seinfeld show…very funny comedy about some friends in New York that is relatable to anyone who has ever seen Jerry Seinfeld’s comedy. This was up there with Cheers and Mash as a fun way to spend a half…

Oscar: I asked my 26 year old daughter what tv show she wanted me to draw and she said “Everybody Loves Raymond” … so here it is. This show in my view totally nails what it is like to have a brotherly competition.. arguing..vying to be favorite..etc. The dynamic that they put together for this…

Oscar: This is a great film about an unlikely pairing that turns into a beautiful friendship. Miss Daisy (Jessica Tandy) plays an old woman who needs a chauffeur with whom, over the course of twenty-five years, develops a (unlikely for the time period) lasting friendship with her hired black driver. Both actors are engaging and…

Oscar: Another tv saga/drama that had a different adventure each episode. I really enjoyed watching this western series…early on. Later in the seasons when Michael Landon said F…it and let his gray hair go unchecked, it ushered a shift in the Ingalls saga for me. The show is based on the Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books…

Oscar: So I was asked about the film L.A. Confidential. One of the best films..probably on my top 10. This is a Noir-type movie and it works fabulously!!! All the characters are gripping and the actors/actresses give it all they’ve got!!! If you haven’t seen this film you are in for a fantastic treat!!! I…

Oscar: Ah yes…back when Will Smith’s career wasn’t in the toilet…this show worked (to me) because Will Smith started as a hungry young comedian and had no serious ego problems..but..(sigh) fame and fortune is often followed by an ego on steroids!! Love James Avery as Uncle Phil who was very successful but also kind and…
