Tweeting with @merrillbarr.com about Magnum last night reminded me of my favorite piece of MAGNUM, PI trivia. After the show’d been cancelled, QUANTUM LEAP had plans for Sam to leap into Thomas Magnum. It never happened, but here’s test footage of Scott Bakula doing Selleck’s “eyebrow wiggle.”

What a small world. A lifetime ago (2008), @dustyabell.bsky.social and Rico Renzi graciously produced this amazing pinup for our DYNAMO 5 ANNUAL. Then yesterday I ran into him in the office — he’s a character designer for CREATURE COMMANDOS, where I’m on the writing staff.

My wife’s on the board of the LA Food Bank, and we had a fantastic time last night at their “Taste of the Rams” event at Sofi Stadium. We got a behind-the-scenes tour and everything.

That sounds delightful. If you ever want the opposite experience, come to my neighborhood!

Introducing my son to this blast from my past. I loved this goofy show when I was a kid. It also serves as a nice time capsule of the Universal backlot, as they shoot pretty much the entire series all over the lot, dressing it up like various time periods.

Happy Anniversary to my ride-or-die, @robinfaerber.bsky.social. We tied the knot 12 years ago today. I never dreamed I’d wind up with a partner like her, and I couldn’t be happier.

Introduced my 9-year-old to CELLULAR one of my favorite B-movies. Chris Evans as an everyman hero with William H. Macy as an underdog cop and Kim Basinger as a very resourceful “damsel in distress.” Plus Jason Statham as the bad guy! My kid LOVED it. Parenting win!

Got some new art from an upcoming graphic novel in my inbox from @cpeterson.bsky.social. It's like Christmas morning. Look at the acting! Those expressive faces!

These are probably my four favorite Robert Redford films. But seriously, if you asked me tomorrow my list would probably be different. What a legend. You believed him every second he was on-screen.

Was watching ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING and I couldn’t figure out who was playing young Lester, the doorman. I was shocked to find out it’s Emory Cohen, who was also one of the dirty cops in REBEL RIDGE. Impressive range!

If your special effects aren’t great, let the orchestra go to town.
Sound on, trust me. Wait for the piano solo.

THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN had a totally different theme song in the original TV movies. And it’s got lyrics! Trust me — sound on!

The car was so important on HARDCASTLE & MCCORMICK that they had to put together this entire sequence just to justify why McCormick would drive his cool race car across the country rather than fly.
