Title: TMZ on Jonathan Frid
Post by: jimbo on August 18, 2009, 02:20:05 PM
When I first saw this article I expected one of its typical shocker type photo of then and now but the site picked a nice photo of Jonathan.

Hmmmmm- I suspect that Harvey Levin may be a DS fan!!  TMZ was certainly respectful of him compared to how they usually treat other celebrities.

Very nice entry on TMZ.. considering how they treat a lot of celebrities!  And lots of fans commenting positively.  Actually, very nice for Frid to get noticed by the tabloids and they even linked to his official website.  They COULD have shown the pic he had up some time ago when he was getting his nose and teeth fixed but they picked a nice one instead.

Translation: We, at TMZ, cannot bring ourselves to admit that we were anywhere near a fan convention.

 [pointing-up]  That's probably it, too.

This brings back memories of 1970 when the National Enquirer did a cover feature on hoDS and there was nothing at all salacious or condescending about it. Miracles do happen.

It is fabulous to see JF on TMZ! And like the other poster's said it wasn't a malicious hateful post! :)

wow.

was someone from TMZ actually present at the fest or was this sent in?

the kids in the newsroom at TMZ aren't old enough to remember '21 jump street' let alone 'dark shadows'.

who's the fan?

You know, I think that's it!

Charles Ellis I believe you're right.  The older guy on TMZ (see I don't even know his name) would be old enough to remember both 21 Jump Street and DS.  And he probably does.

I think you guys are right about the older guy being there. I wonder if he took that mug to the convention?  [ghost_cheesy]

Nice little blurb.  The "some event" remark was a tad lame.  Must be due to that increasing trend toward vague journalism.  Unless of course he meant SOME event as in that was.   [ghost_nowink]
