Joel Crothers and Barbara Steele co-star together in "Beta Delta Gamma", a 1961 episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents airing on Antenna TV this month, first on Sunday 10/21 at 8:30 am Eastern and again during a series marathon on Wednesday 10/31 at 1:00 pm Eastern.  Although credited as supporting players, both Joel and Barbara have substantial roles and appear throughout the episode.  The story involves a group of college kids partying overnight at an oceanfront fraternity house who decide to play a practical joke with disastrous results.

Bernie Mac appeared Tuesday on Late Night with Conan O'Brien to promote his new film "Pride".  During the interview, a photo of Bernie in character from the movie was shown and Bernie remarked that the long sideburns he wears in the film look like Quentin's from Dark Shadows.  Conan let the DS reference pass without comment, but it's interesting to speculate whether Bernie Mac might be a fan of the show.
