Hollywood

Hollywood is like FM radio - when it's good, it is very good, but when it's bad, it's awful. (A lesson at Brown in engineering)


Awful 1:  An attempt to remake Kolchak.  The curmudgeon fully realized that the original has laughable guys running around in lizard suits as the demons, but it had Darren McGavin - an actor virtually impossible to top.  The remake lasted all of a week or two.


Awful 2: The remake of Hawaii 5-0.  Now, the curmudgeon agrees that Jack Lord was over-the-top intense, but at least he shaved and wore a suit.  The new one has tattoos.  And we're supposed to believe he reports directly to the governor?  I think not.


I now return to my balcony seat with my peers on the Muppet show.
