Star Trek: Boldly Going For 60 Years

Leave a comment

I have been a Star Trek fan all my life. This series taught us how to explore strange new worlds and to seek out new life and new civilizations. Gene Roddenberry gave us this gift that has changed the hearts and minds of many. This TV show gave birth to movies and TV prequels and sequels that have inspired and entertained millions.

Trek taught us infinite diversity in infinite combinations and to live long and prosper. I am thankful that I had heroes like Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Uhura, Sulu, and Chekov to show me the way of being a nerd and that logic matters. This show has also given us Picard, Burnham, Janeway, Archer, Sisko, Freeman, Ake, and Pike. Thank you to everyone who has put on the uniform of Starfleet.

Tonight to celebrate, we are watching The Undiscovered Country which is the last movie with the original cast.

Remembering Emergency’s Randolph Mantooth

2 Comments

The 1970s TV show Emergency was one of my favorites growing up. It was about two groundbreaking paramedics Roy DeSoto and Johnny Gage who were dedicated to saving lives in Los Angeles. As a kid this whole world of firefighters and paramedics captured my imagination and inspired me.

The adventure and important work of rescuing people was a huge part of the appeal. Like most shows the characters make the whole thing special. Kevin Tighe and Randolph Mantooth brought DeSoto and Gage to life along with the crews of Station 51 and Rampart Hospital.

On July 9th Randolph Mantooth died at the age of 80. I am sad, but I am glad he lives on through his work and talent he shared with the world. He along with his on-screen partner Kevin influenced generations of men and women to go into the profession of firefighting and paramedics.

Randy, thank you for being a special part of my childhood. You will be missed but your legacy lives on. Rest in power. KMG365.

Georgie and Mandy’s Interesting Storyline About God

Leave a comment

Tonight on the TV show Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage there is a storyline where Mandy says God could be a woman on air during her weather report from the towns Baptist church festival. Needless to say the reaction was very bad for Mandy. I have to say this can provide some food for thought. If we are created in God’s image both feminine and masculine traits must be considered and presented. Don’t come quoting scripture at me just use your imagination and open your mind and spirit because it can impact the way women and others are treated in the church and elsewhere.

Something About Stephen and Jimmy

3 Comments

Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel are heroes. Calling out the madness that is America is needed now more than ever. We need their voices to tell the stories of this country at this time.

Colbert’s show was cancelled last month. Jimmy Kimmel was pulled off-air due to comments about Charlie Kirk on last night’s show.

This has gone far enough, but I am not sure what to do. Freedom is on the line here, folks.

The Gilmore Girls of Stars Hollow

Leave a comment

So, for the fun of it, I am checking out Lorelai and Rory Gilmore, a mother-daughter duo from the fictional town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut. Gilmore Girls is a cult classic TV show that aired from 2000-2007. The show featured a blend of humor and drama. It was the flagship show of The WB Network and finished its run on The CW.

It’s good as a dude to check out new shows outside my wheelhouse. I have checked out the pilot and the first episode. It’s a good show. I will give it a few episodes.
