The actress was 82. She was one of the stars of the popular 1970s show about single parents who marry and raise six kids. It played for decades in reruns.
The Golden Girls was a TV situation comedy that ran 1985-1992 on NBC Television. It was about the life adventures of four older women living in a condo in south Florida. For many it holds a special place in their hearts, including mine. So this is a little different for Music Monday a TV theme song…it won’t be the last time either.
Last night a few of my favorites won Emmys for their work in Television. Diversity seems to be the rule in Television these days with many people of color and orientation being nominated. “Game of Thrones” and “The People vs. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story” won big. My favorite reality show “The Voice” won as well. Jimmy Kimmel did a great job as host. I would like to see some different winners in Lead Actress in a Comedy as well as Variety Show.
I was happy to see these fine thespians of the “small screen” win last night.
Tatiana Maslany – Orphan Black
Sarah Paulson – The People vs. OJ Simpson
Kate McKinnon – Saturday Night Live
Louie Anderson – Baskets
Jeffrey Tambor – Transparent
Courtney B. Vance – The People vs. OJ Simpson
Dame Maggie Smith – Downton Abbey
Tiny Fey and Amy Poehler – Hosting Saturday Night Live
TV’s biggest night returns this Sunday with the 68th annual Emmy Awards. Will standbys like Game of Thrones and Veep take home best series trophies once again, or first-time series nominations for shows like The Americans, Black-ish or Mr. Robot result in any upsets? And how will Jimmy Kimmel tackle his second stint as Emmys host?
I love television and this is my favorite awards show because there seems to be a higher than usual nerd factor here than The Oscar’s which seem to be a little more reserved and traditional. TV is my favorite old-school medium.
This song is visually stunning and very 1980’s. The Cars are one of those american pop/rock bands that have interesting vocals and catchy tunes. On CBS TV a show called “BrainDead” has been using this tune to indicate when people who have been infected by alien bugs are on the scene. I would have never thought this song would be brought back into popularity in such a way.
Tonight the TNT network crime drama Rizzoli and Isles says farewell. I like this show for having two intelligent, competent, fearless professional women solving crimes for the Boston Police Department. Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander brought a detective and medical examiner to life. I will miss this show like many others that have left over the years. Goodbye and thank you Detective Rizzoli and Dr. Isles.
