“We owe a lot to Thomas Edison
– if it wasn’t for him,
we’d be watching television by candlelight”
Milton Berle
World Television Day
Where would we be
Without our TV
No one or nothing
To guide us
Shining the light on us
The knowledge and wisdom shared
For no one can be spared
From the power of
Television
Long live Television
Our one and true vision 😉
“When I got my first television set,
I stopped caring so much about having close relationships”
Andy Warhol
“Television is an invention that permits you
to be entertained in your living room
by people you wouldn’t have in your home”
David Frost
“Television has brought back murder into the home
– where it belongs”

“I am a doctor, not a magician!” Leonard McCoy
Homage to DeForest Kelley (1920-1999)
I am a doctor, not a doorstop
I can go on nonstop
I am a miracle worker
Maybe even a tearjerker
Concocting cures for all ailments
I have the treatments
No matter if my patients
Be alien or human
Even if the Yeoman
Came down with the flu
I have the cure and the clue
On what to do
So maybe I am a magician
The premium edition
And even that green blooded
Gosh, darn, crud it…Vulcan
Has to admit it
And I am loving every damned minute!

“There’s nothing I would retire for, so I won’t retire”
James Earl Jones
Happy 86th Birthday James Earl Jones!
A voice like thunder
Presence filled with wonder
From pre-med
On to the stage
Many a great characters
Taking us into adventures
But lucky were us nerds
When the voice of Darth Vader we heard
Other than that?
Well, of course, many happy returns!

“Actors, I don’t think, ever really grow up. I’m hoping that that rejuvenating process applies to me, too. It has so far. I’ve been very lucky” Derek Jacobi
Happy Birthday Sir Derek Jacobi
Loved you in Claudius
Adored you in Octavius
Excellent performance in Cadfael
Utterly radiant in Halifax
And completely hilarious in Vicious
On this special day
An homage I’d like to pay
With wishes most sincere
To an actor utterly revered

“Here I am, I still go on, you know, like the tides” Angela Lansbury
Blue Eyes
She’s got grace and style
And to top it, a great smile
Oh those blue eyes
Could light up the skies
Her face most adorable
Her talent undeniable
Like the whirlwind
Still hard at working
A Queen without a crown
A Dame with a gown
She is the belle of the ball
So say we all
Now and for ever more
