1977

It's a wrap for Season 1 of Alice. I loved Linda Lavin in Barney Miller; I loved her as a co-host with Mike Douglas earlier this 1977 month; I, of course, loved her in Alice, and I love her in this ...

I've kind of kept tabs on her ever since I heard she had married a fella and lived in Wilmington, North Carolina, about the same time that my wife and I married and lived in Cary. Linda Lavin and her husband opened and ran a theater in Wilmington for a while. She and her husband are now back in New York City, and their Wilmington theater has turned into one of those axe-throwing bars--this one called "Axes and Allies," which is pretty clever.

Wikipedia says she does a lot of teaching. I'll bet Linda Lavin is an excellent teacher, too.

What's On TV Today (1974)?

 I think I'm going to try to post a lot more at the HP. It's fun.

I did about a half hour of deep dive into the name and address listed on the cover of this TV Guide. I found the house in Rockland, Maine, where it was delivered. I found a preacher/author/publisher in Rockland with the same last name, who may or may not, of course, have been connected to the people. This fella has written a good bit about Universalists in Maine, and, indeed, the house where this TV Guide was delivered is just up Broadway/U.S. 1-A from a Universalist church. In its Google Maps picture, you can see several hand-printed signs in front of the church, along the street:

UB BRAVE

Rise Up in spite of the Ache

We Work For Justice

Rise UP

Don't Agonize/ORGANIZE

Well, whoever it was who lived in this house and paid for this TV Guide that my wife purchased for me off eBay, thank you. And thank you, Wife, for I sure enjoy flipping through it.

Here's what was on TV this Wednesday, Oct. 30, 1974, in Rockland, Maine.

Man, The Waltons sure was a big deal. My mom loved it.

Comments flow ...

Oh, Kentucky

Rowan County is issuing no marriage licenses at the moment.

Bring the noise, Paducah Cooperative Ministry! I'm all about the PCM, baby.

Good jobs news from Bowling Green. And Lexington:

Speaking of jobs in Lexington, the superintendent of schools in Portland, Maine, just got one--with a big raise.

The new field is getting its final touches and it is beautiful! Thanks to Nick Heineke for the photo. #GoBirds pic.twitter.com/v3mLlsSvbe

Tom Jurich is amazing.

Jerry Tipton figured you've probably been wondering about where Coach Cal comes down on the Confederate flags.

No, really, what was the deal with Coach Bryant and Coach Rupp?
