Wu's 3rd Top 15 TV Shows Available on Youtube

 


Two glaring flubs and oversights led to this third and hopefully last edition. Sledge Hammer! and Fish Police. I watched both on Youtube in the last couple of days so they are there.

1. Sledge Hammer! - Very funny cop show. I watched this whole run, two seasons, on Youtube. Since deleted, but there are some other random episodes available.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/09/sledge-hammer.html

2. Fish Police - Animated. Hard boiled fish cop show. John Ritter and an All-Star cast. Only six made. Good show.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2021/04/fish-police.html

3. Double Dare - One episode is on Internet Archive. Billy Dee Williams, Ken Wahl. Crooks working for the cops. I'd like to find more of this one.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/05/double-dare.html

4. Paul Sand in Friends and Lovers - Good early 70s sitcom. Young Penny Marshall. Steve Landesberg as a German. They were an orchestra. I watched two on Youtube, two different channels, both deleted. Very sad for this little seen show.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2022/03/paul-sand-in-friends-and-lovers.html

5. Crazy Like a Fox - Jack Warden, John Rubinstein. Comes and goes on Youtube. I just found two more episodes yesterday. Good show.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/06/crazy-like-fox.html

6. Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist - Ben cooking Thanksgiving dinner. Fire in the hole!

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2021/10/dr-katz-professional-therapist.html

7. Buddy Faro - Dennis Farina. Private detective. Charles Robinson, Frank Whaley, Allison Smith. Pilot is one of the best detective pilots I watched.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2021/09/buddy-faro.html

8. The Charmings - Just found more of this one too. Another random find you wouldn't think would be good. Prince Charming, Snow White in 80s America. Paul Winfield as the mirror.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/05/the-charmings.html

9. The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries - Mainly Nancy Drew. Good production values in this series. Another one better than expected.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2021/08/the-hardy-boysnancy-drew-mysteries.html

10. Matt Helm - Matt Helm the TV show. Several of these recently became available. Good show. Good production.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2021/08/matt-helm.html

11. Bob - Bob Newhart went from The Bob Newhart Show, to Newhart, to Bob. Carlene Watkins. Comics. I watched several and have a couple of these taped myself original airing on VHS.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2019/09/bob.html

12. Shannon's Deal - John Sayles created. Good show. I watched one that was available. This was a good example of the quality shows you can find at random. 

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2019/09/shannons-deal.html

13. Dweebs - Peter Scolari, Stephen Tobolowsky, Corey Feldman. Playing dweebs. One episode showed up for a while.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/02/dweebs.html

14. A Man Called Sloane - Robert Conrad. I watched this as a kid. More of these just became available. For a long time there was one episode with Morgan Fairchild in it. I remembered it for the guy with the mechanical hand that has different gadgets. Cheesy good rather than good show. Entertaining.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/02/a-man-called-sloane.html

15. Busting Loose - Adam Arkin 70s sitcom. I watched six or seven. Young guy on the make on his own in the big city. Working in a shoe store. Living in a dump. Next door neighbor is a hooker with a heart of gold. Played memorably by Barbara Rhoades.

Wu's TV Corner: Hollywood Beat - Fast Hustle

 


I thought about hiring a professional TV writer to write a TV column. Who needs a professional? I know something about TV. I am watching an episode of Hollywood Beat now on Youtube. Casting to the 40 inch TV in the living room. 

This cop show made my 2nd list of Youtube favorites. 1985 ABC. Jack Scalia, Jay Acovone, John Matuszak. Edward Winter as the boss cop. An Aaron Spelling production. This episode is titled, "Fast Hustle." Chick Vennera as Stack. This episode also features John P. Ryan and James Hampton. Stack the informant is in some deep kind of trouble and fast talking isn't going to help him in the long run.

This show is the grittier and darker L.A. of the 80s. Spelling shows are hit and miss but he did make a few good cop/detective shows. Same can be said for Scalia. I watched a couple of episodes of this show a few years ago and I see why I liked it now. Good show. Solid 80s cop show.

This will be a weekly or every other weekly TV column starting next month. I will write an actual review of a random episode in the Youtube TV archive. By actual review I mean at least three paragraphs. Lots of random cop and detective shows. Sheriff Lobo. Lots of random sitcoms.

Wu's 2nd Top 15 TV Shows Available on Youtube

 


I forgot a few good shows. Enough for a second post.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2022/03/wus-top-15-tv-shows-available-on-youtube.html

1. Supertrain - I liked Supertrain. I watched all of them on Youtube. Quality was not good. Supertrain had a disco inside that they would cut to occasionally. 

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2019/12/supertrain.html

2. Maximum Bob - Short summer series. From the Elmore Leonard book. I taped the whole thing on VHS. Sometimes various episodes are on Youtube.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/01/its-your-move.html

5. Bakersfield P.D. - Cop show random find. Very funny. I watched several from two sources.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/04/bakersfield-pd.html

6. Morton & Hayes - A black and white sitcom? How does this get on the air? And it's funny, but not at all what a sitcom is supposed to be. A miracle.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/04/morton-hayes.html

7. Angie - Donna Pescow, Doris Roberts, Robert Hays. Fun late 70s sitcom I've found in a couple of places.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/06/angie.html

8. The New Adventures of Beans Baxter - Early Fox show from Savage Steve Holland. I liked this a lot. Spy intrigue. Watched all of them available in a couple of places. Halloween episode is particularly good.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/06/the-new-adventures-of-beans-baxter.html

9. Hollywood Beat - Gritty and dirty L.A. rather than glitz. Cop show. Jack Scalia, John Matuszak, I watched a couple of these.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/07/hollywood-beat.html

10. The Popcorn Kid - Movie theater sitcom. Penelope Ann Miller, Faith Ford. Raye Birk as the manager. Projector guy lived in the rafters.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/02/the-popcorn-kid.html

11. Jack the Ripper miniseries - Michael Caine. I first saw this on late night TV and it kept me up because it is long. Good series.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/05/jack-ripper-miniseries.html

12. Diamonds - CBS Late Night show. The Canadian Moonlighting. There was a couple of episodes from different sources but only one I can find now is a partial ep. I liked this show. Good detective show.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/08/diamonds.html

13. Tucker's Witch - One of our site members asked me about this show and I went and watched five or six on a Saturday afternoon. Another good detective show. Tim Matheson, Catherine Hicks as the witch detective. Barbara Barrie plays the mom witch. One of those happy random finds.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/09/tuckers-witch.html

14. Buffalo Bill - Has a cult following now. Good show. I've watched a bunch of these from several sources. You can also find Geena Davis' sitcom Sara.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/09/buffalo-bill.html

15. Otherworld - Science fiction/fantasy. Gretchen Corbett, Jonathan Banks as the bad guy. I watched this whole series, it wasn't that many, eight episodes.

Wu's Top 15 TV Shows Available on Youtube

 


I have somewhere a little over 500 TV shows on Youtube. Some of my favorites that I watched over the last few years are here. By available on Youtube I mean I have found at least one episode of the series, but it may be only one. Quark and Ellery Queen both have one ep. available. Honorable mentions were once available.

1. Quark - Richard Benjamin, garbage scow, Tim Thomerson. Good show. One available at the Museum of Classic Chicago Television.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2019/12/quark.html

2. Open All Night - George Dzundza, Susan Tyrrell, Sam Whipple, Bubba Smith. Convenience store open all night. David Letterman cameo. First good show I watched totally on Youtube. Not every ep. is available but I watched all of them.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/07/open-all-night.html

3. Ellery Queen - One of the best shows I watched. Private detective. The one episode available is Vincent Price I think. Also at the Museum of Classic Chicago Television. I watched all of this series. John Hillerman is great as the pompous radio host. David Wayne plays the cop father of Ellery. Top notch.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/04/ellery-queen.html

4. The Snoop Sisters - Quality production all around. I watched all three episodes available and the one with Vincent Price and Roddy McDowall was the most entertaining thing I watched out of 500 plus shows. That whole ep. is horror themed. People in costume, etc. Great episode. Very good series. One of the missing episodes features Alice Cooper and devil worshipers. 

 https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/02/the-snoop-sisters.html

5. Richie Brockelman, Private Eye - Dennis Dugan Rockford Files private detective spinoff. I watched all four of these available on Youtube. Good show. I think only one more ep. is missing.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/04/richie-brockelman-private-eye.html

6. The Eddie Capra Mysteries - Lucked out here the one episode available was the single best quality episode out of everything I watched. Turns out that one ep. was nominated for an Edgar Award, the mystery writers award, and lost to Columbo.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/06/the-eddie-capra-mysteries.html

7. Tenspeed and Brown Shoe - I watched this as a kid and searched Youtube 2-3 times a year for years until it showed up one day and I watched them all again online. Great show. I still love this show.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2019/12/tenspeed-and-brownshoe.html

8. Spy Game - I watched this when it aired and taped them all on VHS. Sam Raimi created. Spies, kung fu, and derring-do.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2021/02/spy-game.html

9. When Things Were Rotten - Mel Brooks. It's basically a retro Robin Hood: Men in Tights thing.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/12/when-things-were-rotten.html

10. Shadow Chasers - Dennis Dugan again. A kind of comedic pre-X-Files thing. I watched all of these the one season available.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/10/shadow-chasers.html

11. Probe - Parker Stevenson. Tech genius. Solves tech crimes with a female Watson assistant. I watched all of these the one season available. One ep. title is a takeoff on Plan 9 from Outer Space.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/09/probe.html

12. Cliffhangers - Weird premise, three serials in one hour is actually pretty entertaining. Susan Anton, international intrigue, Old West with hidden Ancient Alien culture, and Dracula.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/07/cliffhangers.html

13. Johnny Bago - Short summer series from Zemeckis team. Wannabe goombah is on the run from the mob and the police in Dub Taylor's Winnebago. Johnny Bago, get it?

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/01/johnny-bago.html

14. Get a Life - Chris Elliott, Bob Elliott, Neptune 2000.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/07/get-life.html

15. City of Angels - Wayne Rogers as a hardboiled period gumshoe. A mixed reputation. Some people consider this one of the finest detective shows. The first five are right up there. Very good show.

https://thegoldenhornblog.blogspot.com/2020/05/city-of-angels.html

Honorable Mention: No Longer Available: Wizards and Warriors, Fish Police, It's Your Move, Diamonds (only partial ep. available), Double Dare (Internet Archive).

[Portrait of Art Hodes, Ole South, New York, N.Y., ca. Oct. 1946]

 


Caption from Down Beat: Piano: Art Hodes: Cover the left third of this picture, then lay the picture on its side. Brother Hodes really looks "stretched out." But it's just that lost look Art gets when he plays. Only thing dead about the set-up is business at the Ole South where Art leads his orchestra. Hodes and the management courageously brought a "mixed" unit into the brand new Broadway spot. But they timed their opening with the music business's own private depression

Can O' History - Affair of the Diamond Necklace

 


The Affair of the Diamond Necklace was an incident from 1784 to 1785 at the court of King Louis XVI of France that involved his wife, Queen Marie Antoinette.

The Queen's reputation, already tarnished by gossip, was ruined by the false implication that she had participated in a crime to defraud the Crown's jewellers in acquiring a very expensive diamond necklace she then refused to pay for. In reality, she rejected the idea of buying it only to have her signature forged by Jeanne de Valois-Saint-Rémy. Although Jeanne was later convicted, the event remains historically significant as one of many that led to the French disillusionmen

The Third Man (1949)

 


Directed by Carol Reed. Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, Trevor Howard. Blu-ray playing now on the big new TV. I already loved this movie. Every time it is a tilted joy. Graham Greene story and screenplay. The ending kills me. Robert Krasker cinematography. Known for its heavy use of the Dutch Angle. It's practically all Dutch Angle. A classic thriller. Almost the perfect thriller.

The History of the Can O' History

 


I always found history topics to be hard but this turned out to be a good series. Because they are actually interesting. Most of my posts aren't all that interesting. They lack a filmic nutrition, as our friend spaced99 would say. 

Short history topics I found without much meat to them I would put in the Can O' History, which was the little garbage can time capsule Larry, Darryl, and Darryl had on Newhart. One day I was at a friend of mine's house and he had a little fire pit outside and sitting next to it was that little metal garbage can. I freaked out and said, "Where did you get that garbage can?!" "Why?", he suspiciously asked.  "That's the Can O' History!"

Can O' History topics include: Pole Sitting, Plate Spinning, Jo-Jo the Dog-Faced Boy, The Shootout on Juneau Wharf, Napoleon Attacked by Rabbits, S.S. America: The Ship of Gold, T.E. Lawrence and Carchemish, U.S. Camel Corps, Locusta the Poisoner, What is a Clipjoint?, Ascent of the Eiger, Bal de Ardents, Great New England Hurricane of 1938, Codex Gigas - The Devil's Bible, Republic of West Florida.

Mr. Monk Can't See a Thing

 


Mr. Monk blinded by a murderer. Second Monk tonight on Me-TV. Before that is Mr. Monk and the Big Game. Weather/antenna permitting. Me-TV wasn't coming in earlier. In detective fiction there was a famous blind detective, Max Carrados. I have a collection of those stories.
