George Maharis and Pen Densham: Next on TVC

May 21st, 2013

Actor George Maharis and writer, producer and director Pen Densham will join us on the next edition of TV CONFIDENTIAL, Friday night at 7pm ET and PT on Share-a-Vision Radio.

Our first hour will feature an encore presentation of our April 2012 conversation with actor George Maharis, Buz Murdock on Route 66, the groundbreaking TV series from the early 1960s that airs Sunday nights on Me-TV. Besides his work in television, George has an extensive stage background, including productions of Exodus, Deathwatch and The Zoo Story, plus he has enjoyed a successful career as a recording artist, both for Columbia Records as well as in Las Vegas. Among other topics, George will clarify the reason why he left Route 66 during the show’s third season (a story that has been often been subject to innuendo and misinformation). The hour will also include a replay of the Sounds of Lost Television segment in which Phil Gries plays highlights from Maharis’ appearance on the May 18, 1962 edition of PM East with Mike Wallace.

Then, in our second hour, we will replay our conversation from August 2011 with Oscar-nominated writer, producer and director Pen Densham. Pen’s credits for film and television include Backdraft, Blown Away, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, the adaptation of The Magnificent Seven for CBS Television, and the remakes of The Outer Limits for Showtime and The Twilight Zone for UPN. Pen is also the author of Riding the Alligator: Strategies for a Career in Screenplay Writing (And Not Getting Eaten), a hands-on, heartfelt approach to the craft of screenwriting that advises writers to filter their product by channeling their passion.

Dave White Presents

May 20th, 2013

Southern Rock with Devon Allman, Summertime Blues with Blue Cheer on the Next “Dave White Presents”!

Back in 1968, a power trio called Blue Cheer topped the charts with their interpretation of Eddie Cochran’s “Summertime Blues.” Decades later, that band and their song have frequently been singled out as being predecessors to all things hard rock and heavy metal.

This year, Blue Cheer Rocks Europe, recorded in 2008, is a new CD testament to how vital Blue Cheer remained until the 2009 death of its main motor, bassist and lead singer Dicke Peterson. At the time, the trio also included original drummer Paul Whaley and the group’s longest running guitarist, Andrew “Duck” MacDonald.

On Tues. May 21, Duck stops by DWP to talk about the legacy of Blue Cheer, his friendship with Dickie Peterson, fan responses over the years, and the importance of a little song that was a hit for Eddie Cochran, The Who, and Blue Cheer. We’ll also play you a previously unreleased studio track that MacDonald calls the groups reply to “Summertime Blues,” a rockabilly jumper you’ve likely never heard before!

Yep, Devon Allman has quite a pedigree. His Dad is Gregg, his uncle was Duane. Last year, Devon made quite a splash as part of the blues/rock “Supergroup,” Royal Southern Brotherhood. If you haven’t checked them out, you’re missing a seriously tight outfit.

This year, Allman has been earning critical raves for his sizzlin’ debut solo album, Turquoise. On his own terms, he’s proving to be a triple threat as a soulful singer, fiery guitarist, and autobiographical songwriter. Learn all about it in an absorbing conversation Devon shares with Wes Britton delving deep into a bluesy family tradition, the origins of Royal Southern Brotherhood, and the stories behind the songs on Turquoise. Yep, we got two samples from Turquoise to demonstrate Devon has more than a pretty name!

All this plus some (we promise) surprising predictably unpredictable humor on Tues., May 21 at 7:30 p.m. Eastern, then 7:30 Pacific over–

Rod Serling and The Mary Tyler Moore Show: Next on TVC

May 16th, 2013

Authors Anne Serling and Jennifer Armstrong will join us on the next edition of TV CONFIDENTIAL, Friday at 7pm ET and PT on Share-a-Vision Radio.

Most conversations about Rod Serling focus on Serling as an icon — an entity, if you will — not only because of his work as the writer, creator and/or producer of The Twilight Zone, Patterns, Requiem for a Heavyweight, Night Gallery, and other TV productions, but also because he was one of the few writers who regularly appeared on television. Rarely do we think of Rod Serling as a person: a real live, flesh and blood human being who played on the floor with his dogs, had nicknames for everyone in the family, liked to watch The Flintstones, and had a laugh that was as infectious as his zest for life itself.

That image of Serling is the one evoked by his daughter Anne Serling in As I Knew Him: My Dad, Rod Serling, an intimate portrait of the Emmy Award-winning television pioneer that is also a moving testament to the love between fathers and daughters. Very close to her father, Anne was devastated by his death in 1975. But eventually she overcame her grief, partially with the help of The Twilight Zone. We will discuss this, and more, when Anne Serling joins us in first hour.

Also joining us this week will be pop culture commentator and entertainment journalist Jennifer Armstrong. Jennifer’s latest book, Mary and Lou and Rhoda and Ted, is the story of the people who gave us The Mary Tyler Moore Show, one of the most beloved and admired television series of all time, and a show whose influence can still be seen today in such shows as 30 Rock, Grey’s Anatomy, Parks and Recreation, 2 Broke Girls, and HBO’s Girls.

The Mary Tyler Moore Show revived Mary Tyler Moore’s career while also helping to pave the way for the modern TV sitcom. But it also made unlikely stars out of several journeymen actors, changed the fates of a dozen female TV writers, helped usher in a more woman-friendly era in the television industry, and famously killed a clown. Yet before any of that became possible, The Mary Tyler Moore Show faced a number of obstacles (mostly from the decision-makers at CBS) just to get on the air. We’ll talk about how the show overcame these hurdles when Jennifer Armstrong joins us in our second hour.

Plus: Phil Gries with Part 3 of the Sounds of Lost Television tribute to New York Mets announcer Ralph Kiner, featuring highlights from two historic moments from the inaugural year of baseball at Shea Stadium, 1964.

Larry Brody and Michael St. John: Next on TVC

May 7th, 2013

Television writer/producer Larry Brody and actor, author, director and playwright Michael St. John will join us on the next edition of TV CONFIDENTIAL, Friday night at 7pm ET and PT on Share-a-Vision Radio.

Most writers in television tend to be pigeonholed one way or another. Larry Brody is one of those exceptions. Larry has created, produced or written thousands of hours of network and syndicated television, covering such genres as crime drama, medical dramas, period pieces, made for TV movies, and animated series, including such shows as Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Mike Hammer, Walker: Texas Ranger, Cannon, Ironside, Medical Center, Spawn, Ace Lightning and The Silver Surfer. Larry’s books include Turning Points in Television, about seminal moments in the TV industry that Larry witnessed first-hand, and Television Writing From The Inside Out, a comprehensive look at how writing for TV really works, which Larry recently updated as an e-Book. Larry Brody joins us in our first hour.

Larry Brody also runs TVWriter.com, an excellent resource for not only new writers, but also experienced writers of television. TVWriter.com is currently running two contests, the 22nd People’s Pilot competition, and the Spec Scriptacular. Winners, finalists, or semi-finalists of both contests have gone on to become staff writers on such shows as Chicago Fire, Person of Interest, The Walking Dead and Grey’s Anatomy. There is more than $12,000 worth of prizes, including individual mentorship sessions, cash money, and four weeks of weekly mentorships with Larry Brody. The deadline for entering both contests is Saturday, June 1. For more information, go to www.TVWriter.com.
Joining us in our second hour will be Michael St. John. Michael was the first African-American hired as a director for NBC television, where he worked on such shows as Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In and The Andy Williams Show. He has also worked as a stage and film actor in such films as Carmen Jones, the first major Hollywood motion picture featuring an all African-American cast, plus he has covered the entertainment history as a print journalist and radio host.
Michael helped create opportunities for many other African-Americans in the film and television industry. His book, Hollywood Through the Back Door, is filled with great stories about his work with such legends as Pearl Bailey, Dorothy Dandridge, Mary Pickford, Bette Davis, Dan Dailey, Lou Gossett, Brock Peters, Harry Belafonte, and Otto Preminger. Michael has also written a play, I Feel Sin Comin’ On, that is being developed for production later this year, with singer/actress Melba Moore in one of the key roles.

Dave White Presents

May 2nd, 2013

The Walking Dead, The Grateful Dead, and Maverick come together on the Next “Dave White Presents”!

 You know it’s true—zombies are everywhere. Some call it the Zombie Renaissance, some the Zombie Apocalypse. Recent film titles include Zombie Strippers, Zombie Alligators, and Abraham Lincoln v. Zombies. Go online, and you can see Doctor Who’s Karen Gillan doing parody ads for zombie hair and skin care.

  Much of the blame for all these legions of the undead goes to Robert Kirkman, the creator of The Walking Dead graphic novels and monster hit TV series. No one knows more about all this than Jay Bonansinga, the author Kirkman tapped to team with him to write a trilogy of Walking Dead novels.

 On Tues. May 7, Jay joins Wes Britton to talk all things zombie, from working with Kirkman, to how his first two Woodberry novels were crafted, to why there’s so much popular fascination with zombies, to clues as to what’s coming next in the Kirkman universe.

 Speaking of hit TV shows, from 1957 to 1962, Maverick was a ratings king on Sunday nights. James Garner was Bret Maverick, Roger Moore was cousin Beau, and, very briefly, Robert Colbert was brother Brent. But only one Maverick was there from beginning to end, namely Jack Kelly as brother Bart.

Beyond Maverick, as Linda Alexander, author of A Maverick Life: The Jack Kelly Story will tell you, Kelly was more than a female fans delight on the comic Western. For example, as a child star, Kelly worked with Mickey Rooney and Audie Murphey. He was in Forbidden Planet with Leslie Nielsen. For decades, he worked on nearly every episodic series on television. So Linda’s conversation with Dave White should get you reaching for a deck of cards, get you singing the famous theme,  and perhaps get you reading a copy of her highly-regarded biography as well!

 Then, back in the’60s, the Grateful Dead were in the thick of all things sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll. A key member of their entourage was the legendary Owsley “Bear” Stanley, the pioneering sound engineer who broke new ground in recording live music. Oh yea, he was equally famous for cooking the best LSD of the period.

Someone who saw and experienced it all was Rhoney Gissen Stanley, author of the new Owsley and Me: My LSD Family. Rhoney was with Bear in the chemical lab and backstage at Monterey Pop, Woodstock, and Altamont. So we’re traveling back in time to the epicenter of West Coast psychedelia with someone who looks back on it all with great affection.

 So zombies, hippies, and Mavericks come together on the next DAVE WHITE PRESENTS, Tuesday, May 7 at 7:30 p.m. Eastern, then 7:30 Pacific over–

Shelley Morrison, Walter Dominguez, and David Michaels: Next on TVC

April 30th, 2013

Actress Shelley Morrison, producer/director Walter Dominguez and Daytime Emmy Awards senior executive director David Michaels will join us on the next edition of TV CONFIDENTIAL, Friday night at 7pm ET and PT on Share-a-Vision Radio.

After a long and successful career that includes appearances in such films and TV series as The Flying Nun, McKenna’s Gold, Blume in Love, Breezy, General Hospital and Will & Grace, Shelley Morrison has branched out into the world of documentary film making. Her first documentary, Weaving the Past: Journey of Discovery, which she produced along with her husband, producer/director Walter Dominguez, is a moving story about Walter’s attempt to trace the roots of his grandfather Emilio Hernandez. Though the film originally began as a family project, it soon evolved into a much bigger story that discusses not only Mexican-American history, but issues of social justice that are still relevant today. We’ll talk about Weaving the Past, but we’ll also ask Shelley and Walter about some of the people they’ve worked with in film and television, including James Garner, Joseph Campanella, and David Janssen, when they join us in our second hour.

Shelley Morrison and Walter Dominguez will host a benefit gala screening of Weaving the Past on Saturday, May 18 that will benefit the soon-to-be-opened Museum of Social Justice, located on historic Olvera Street in Los Angeles. To learn more about this event, as well as more information on the film itself, go to WeavingthePast.com.

Joining us in our first hour will be David Michaels, senior executive director of the Daytime Emmy Awards broadcast, and a member of the board of governors of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for the past 14 years. An Emmy winner himself, David has also worked extensively in daytime television as a director and producer on such shows as The $25,000 Pyramid, The $100,000 Pyramid, Vicki and Leeza. The 40th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will be televised Sunday, June 16 on HLN.

David Michaels will be joined by Alex Trebek and Susan Lucci on Thursday, May 9 to announce plans for a new exhibit at the Smithsonian Institute Museum of American History that will honor all genres of daytime television, including soap operas, talk shows, children’s programming, and TV game shows. The objects being donated range from show scripts and original art, to awards and other memorabilia. The new acquisitions will join the museum’s existing entertainment collections and help the museum expand its capacity to tell the unique story of daytime television and the Daytime Emmy Awards. For more information on the Museum, go to http://americanhistory.si.edu

Plus: Phil Gries with Part 2 of the Sounds of Lost Television special tribute to New York Mets announcer Ralph Kiner. This week, Phil will play highlights from Kiner’s interviews with baseball Hall of Famers Willie Mays and Duke Snider.

The Music of James Bond: Next on TVC

April 23rd, 2013

Author, journalist and music historian Jon Burlingame and syndicated film critic Jane Boursaw will join us on the next edition of TV CONFIDENTIAL, Friday night at 7pm ET and PT on Share-a-Vision Radio.

Though many of us think of the James Bond movies for its gadgets, thrills and beautiful women, the music of each film has always played an important role in the success of the James Bond franchise while also setting trends in the composition of other film scores. Not only that, the backstories behind each Bond soundtrack are almost as compelling as 007’s adventures itself, including a lawsuit over the authorship of the iconic “James Bond theme,” the controversy over the lyrics to “Diamonds are Forever,” how Frank Sinatra almost sang the title song to Moonraker, and how producer Harry Saltzman wanted someone other than Paul McCartney to sing “Live and Let Die.”

These stories and more are captured in the pages of The Music of James Bond, an excellent book by renowned film and TV music historian Jon Burlingame. Jon’s book features a running commentary on the various scores of each Bond soundtrack, plus extensive interviews with virtually every major composer and recording artist who has contributed to the pantheon of Bond music, including John Barry, Monty Norman, Marvin Hamlisch, Paul Williams, Herb Alpert, and Hal David. We’ll not only talk about the music of James Bond, but play highlights from the music of James Bond, when Jon Burlingame will joins us in our first hour.

Joining us in our second hour will be Jane Boursaw as we pay tribute to Roger Ebert, the Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times and longtime co-host of Sneak Previews, Siskel & Ebert, and Ebert & Roeper. A syndicated columnist and entertainment writer for such publications as TV Worth Watching and Reel Life with Jane, Jane Boursaw is also one of many film critics who was influenced by Roger Ebert.

Also this week: We will replay our conversation from October 2010 with actor Frank Bank, Lumpy Rutherford on Leave It to Beaver, and talk show host Stu Shostak. Plus: a brand new edition of This Week in TV History.

Dave White Presents

April 18th, 2013

We’re beating the Skins with Canned Heat and the History of Drums on the Next Dave White Presents!

Once upon a time, Canned Heat were not only the Kings of the Boogie” with hits like “On the Road Again” and “Let’s Work Together,” they were headline acts at festivals like Monterey Pop and Woodstock. In fact, “Going Up the Country,” written and sung by Alan Wilson, became the unofficial theme song for Michael Wadleigh’s Woodstock documentary.

 Ironically, guitarist and singer Wilson, known as the “Blind Owl,” died on Sept. 3, 1970, just months away from the deaths of fellow Woodstock luminaries Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. Tragically, all three became members of the “27 Club,” meaning musicians who died at that age including Brian Jones, Kurt Cobain, and Robert Johnson.

 On Tues. April 23, the longest continuing member of Canned Heat, drummer Adolfo “Fito” de la Parra, comes to DWP to remember the glory years of his band and discuss the brand new two CD set, The Blind Owl: a tribute to Alan Wilson. The new collection not only highlights the Heat’s blues and psychedelic boogies, but Wilson’s social commentary on albums like the legendary Future Blues as well. What was it like to work with, and impress, John Lee Hooker? What’s Canned Heat up to now? Fito will tell you all about it.

 As it happens, Fito de la Parra isn’t the only drummer beating away on the next DWP! Stickman, educator, and author Daniel Glass has some fascinating insights into his two-DVD set, The Century Project: 100 Years of American Music from Behind the Drums. The DVDs are a detailed and tasty history lesson about U.S. music from 1865 to 1965 showing how, as drums evolved, so did popular music as a whole.    We promise, you won’t have to be a drummer to be interested in the evolution of marching bands, ragtime, rockabilly, jazz, and rock and roll! We travel with Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, Ringo Starr, and Glass himself as we also show how he brings punk to jazz in his own hot band, Royal Crown Revue!

 All this, plus some new, original comedy from Mr. Dave White himself comes your way Tuesday April 23 at 7:30 p.m. Eastern, then 7:30 Pacific over–
