Two additions to the site in the Photo Gallery:

(1) screen grabs from the film Raise the Titanic

(2) screen grabs from Dr. David Selby's appearance a few months ago on West Virginia State College's State Today

While his play, Final Assault, was in production in Charleston, David served as an Artist in Residence at West Virginia State College. He continues to be involved in the college's new masters program in Media Studies.

Umm. Then I have to guess it was one of Charlie's Angels. 

BTW . . . I am not "running on Windows XP." It just doesn't do that much for me. I'm running on caffeine and sugar. 

The poor excuse saw my daughter reading "The Once and Future King", and told her that he never read it because it was too big and intimitating.

Now that is truly frightening. I was required to read that one during the summer before my sophomore year of high school.

When I was a sophomore, we had a coach for our half-semester geography class. It was pretty obvious he wasn't hired for his intellect, especially since he never even bothered to read the textbook. When we were discussing the Soviet Union, he was trying to convince the class that the Supreme Soviet was the guy in charge of the country just under Gorbachev. 

Apparently, the fine tradition continues. I know someone who works on computers at the school and on occasion is in the classrooms working while they're holding class. Some very interesting things transpired during the Vietnam War. 

This was done as a radio play?!?

It would be hard to picture Selby as Mitch otherwise ...

How interesting -- I thought that was only done in the U.K.

Radio plays? They're most definitely alive and well in America. The group that Selby works with is LA Theatre Works, and their stuff winds up on both NPR and the BBC.

LATW has been around since 1974, but they didn't get involved in radio drama until the mid-1980s. Their first radio production, Once in a Lifetime got some national media attention from sources like CBS This Morning, and, at that time, their members included folks like Selby, Robert Foxworth, Ed Asner, John Lithgow, Amy Irving, Ted Danson, Richard Dreyfuss, and on and on.

One of the more interesting things they've done lately is to take actors who normally work together on a specific tv show and put them together in a production. Kelsey Grammer and John Mahoney from Frasier did The Third Man, and actors from the various incarnations of Star Trek, including Leonard Nimoy and Gates McFadden, did War of the Worlds.

I guess since Return to Collinwood is now coming to fruition that it's ok to mention that David Selby has wanted to do a similar type of project with the Dark Shadows actors.

I also need to mention here that LATW is not the only group producing radio drama. There are several others with equally recognizable actors, though LATW offers most of their stuff on cd and audio tape, so it's easy to get your hands on in libraries or via mail order if your local NPR station doesn't carry radio drama. Not all of them do. LATW sells titles directly, and Amazon also offers most LATW titles.

I thought it was in the Museum of TV and Radio but they've been too busy addng more episodes of Seinfeld and Cheers to their viewing collections to bother with such trivia as the Oscarcasts (can you hear me grinding my teeth?)

Like I'm going to fly to LA or NY to watch episodes of shows that I can see at least 4 times a day thanks to the infinite variety of programming offered to me by my cable company. 

The Hallmark Channel will be airing an episode of The Big Valley entitled "Battle of Mineral Springs" on Wednesday, July 30, at 8:00am ET. Dennis Patrick appears in this episode as Crawford.

Did anyone else listen to it, or is that a really dumb question? 

Like Patti, I got error messages once the pre-recorded blurb about becoming a member ended. I suspect they had more folks trying to listen than they could handle since, as a staffer so "helpfully" informed me, it's working fine right now.

I doubt people are rushing to their computers to hear Talk of the City with Kitty Felde.
