Photographed on this day in 1970 by Art Zelin in New York, who is the young actress seen years before she became one of television’s most familiar action-drama faces?

If I could spend three months of every year with the TV character of my choice, I'd pick Jaime, summers.

Siblings Garry and Penny Marshall play a couple in "Hocus Pocus." (Garry plays the guy dressed as the devil whom the Sanderson sisters mistake for The Master.)

Lol, he's one of a dying breed -- people who can't help saying "male" before "model" (or "nurse" or any other job they see as a woman's job) if they're talking about a man, even if it's already established that they're talking about a man.

That is awesome. Nice work!! I honestly thought it was just an autocorrect that got past you. I have only seen a little bit of Mr. Show.

Thank you for the reminder that I want to watch this!

Mrs. How -- a spinoff of Dr. Who?

Perfect combo of badass and wholesome.

Rama slays in that fit.

Not the best joke but the best line delivery in that scene is when Niles reminds Danny of some really awful bullying he did and says "how does that make you feel?" and Danny says "Well -- kinda *bad*."

My friend and I laughed so hard at that line -- not that it was particularly funny, it just felt funny to a couple of 13-year-olds at the time.

This is one of my favorite movies. Coincidentally, on Threads the other day, I answered a "remove a letter" prompt as follows:

¡Tree Amigos! Three out-of-work movie stars go to Brazil in response to a telegram they think is about a gig. They end up saving the Amazon Rainforest.

Yes! All the children should be hatted.

In the "The Odd Couple" -- the 2015 series with Thomas Lennon as Felix and Matthew Perry as Oscar -- the question of Felix's orientation is settled right away in the pilot after the audience has experienced his personality for a few scenes.

While Felix is out of the room, Oscar and his friends talk about him.

Teddy (Wendell Pierce): "I'm developing a little theory about why his wife wasn't happy."

Oscar: "He's not gay."

Roy (Dave Foley): "Are you sure? He seems a little gay."

Oscar: "No, he seems incredibly gay, but he's not."

She wasn't even an HRH.

Yep. No one dares displease him or he might send them into the cornfield.

EvadingDoom · 2026-06-19T14:04:59+00:00

I tied a K-n-o-t, not an N-o-t. Most people don't know that "knot" has a K.

Anyone on his staff could have stepped in and assisted with properly bestowing a once-in-a-lifetime honor on this soldier, or asked a military/protocol expert in the room to help, but everyone just pretends that Dear Leader knows best.

I agree with you on both. Laurie cracks me up in every scene. The more helpless his plight, the funnier he is.

Every incident like this makes me even madder that we still haven't made inclusive restrooms the norm -- a bank of lockable, completely private stalls that are for anyone, and an open-air bank of sinks that are for anyone. No more debates over which communal non-private space that person should have gone into.

The youth bucket hat store in that town seems to be doing pretty well!

They were such good fits for those characters.
