Great Expectations is the thirteenth novel by Charles Dickens and his penultimate completed novel. Set in Kent and London School, early to the mid-19th century. Published 1861.
Great Expectations is an upcoming period drama developed by Steven Knight. It is based on the novel of the same name by Charles Dickens. It depicts the education of an orphan nicknamed Pip. It is Dickens' second novel, after David Copperfield, to be fully narrated in the first person.
Tumblr media
The six-part miniseries is a Victorian slice. The British writer Steven Knight (the creator of “Peaky Blinders,” who also adapted “A Christmas Carol” for television, in 2019) casts gothic and colonial shadows over the beloved bildungsroman, which follows Pip, an orphan whose aspirations to become a gentleman are bankrolled by a mysterious benefactor. In Knight’s retelling, Pip learns that few fortunes are made without preying on the misfortune of others.
Tumblr media
Pip Gargery (Fionn Whitehead) is an orphan living in coastal Kent with his blacksmith brother-in-law Joe (McDonnell) and his viciously abusive sister Sara (Hayley Squires). Like most of Dickens’ orphans, Pip dreams of a grand life in which he does not have to adopt Joe’s trade; he wishes to travel the world. The local wealthy madwoman, Amelia Havisham (Colman), twisted by rage at being abandoned by the altar, lives in her wedding dress while destroying her adopted daughter Estella’s (Shalom Brune-Franklin) emotional and psychological health. Pip is hired to serve as a companion to Estella; Miss Havisham observes the pair and encourages Estella to treat him with abject cruelty. An unknown benefactor finances Pip’s journey into London life, where he meets his new boss, Mr. Jaggers (Thomas). Together they try to topple the spice trade empire of Bentley Drummle (Needham), a craven man engaged to Estella.
Tumblr media
With a cast like this behind Knight’s name, it’s no surprise there’s been a lot of hype around the new period drama. Just look at this star-studded list:
-Olivia Colman (The Favourite, The Crown) as Miss Havisham -Fionn Whitehead (Dunkirk) as Pip -Shalom Brune-Franklin (The Tourist) as Estella -Ashley Thomas (The Ipcress File) as Jaggers -Johnny Harris (Without Sin) as Abel Magwitch -Matt Berry (What We Do in the Shadows) as Mr Pumblechuck -Hayley Squires (Adult Material) as Sara Gargery -Rudi Dharmalingam (The Lazarus Project) as Wemmick -Owen McDonnell (The Holiday) as Joe Gargery -Trystan Gravelle (Mr Selfridge) as Compeyson -Laurie Ogden (The Colour Room) as Biddy
youtube
Great Expectations - Creator: Steven Knight It will premiere on BBC One on Sunday, 26th March 2023. 9 pm, BBC One. The USA premiere is on Hulu.

Seven (1979)
Seven is a bit of a treat. I really enjoyed it and not for the obvious reasons. The nudity is actually quite sparse and the action and explosions are fairly tame. #movies #film #filmtwitter

This is my concept art for Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel movie.  Since there has been very little of the Kree actually shown I had to look at other sources.  I used Ronan the Accuser from the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, the Kree Ambassador, the other designs from the Guardians like the Novas and Thor for Carol's designs.  If you look at the Marvel movie universe the characters that are human based like Captain America, Fury, Hill, Hawkeye, and Black Widow, their costumes are made of fabrics, straps, buckles, and zippers.  Aliens like Thor and Ronan, for example, wear armor with intricate designs.Her costume is Kree armor.  Metallic like Iron Man's, colored red, over dark Fabrics like Thor's (not leather).Her Yellow Captains Bars styled stripes leading to her star logo have (what I hope) is Kree writing that we are seeing on Agents of SHIELD and on Ronan's ship.  And if you look at the Guardians clothing things are sort of off center and at odd angles.But they also seem to be trying to make sure the alien worlds are believable too, or maybe its that they aren't too powerful. The Novas weren't shown to have powers and wear tech armor.  So I was unsure if the Kree soldiers like Mar-Vell would have powers.  Or perhaps he would have powers because the Asguardians are super strong and what not.   Plus I needed a reason why Carol would wear a costume in the first place.  Why not just a SHIELD jump suit?  So I came up with a concept that might cover all bases.  In the film Carol teams up with Mar-Vell to stop Yon-Rogg and his troops.  During the film near the end (like where Thor gets his powers back or where Reece dies in Terminator 1) Mar-Vell is dying.  He splices his DNA onto Carol's so she can wear his armor and save the city and defeat Rogg and the Sentry.  That way she gets the costume.  The armor maybe is what has the powers.  Like a much more advanced Iron Man suit, since it is Kree and the Kree are the most advanced aliens.  It could even be reasoned that Carol's DNA is altered to have the powers by the end of the film with advanced Kree Nano-

Lyle Stevik John Doe (Identified in 2018)
Tumblr media
January 08, 2021
Ugh. I love a good John/Jane Doe case. 
However, I do want to just remind everyone that as interesting as these cases are, they are very sad. We need to remember that yes a person who is unidentified is very interesting because there are a lack of answers. The main one being who are they but also what happened to them? 
I think when it comes to John/Jane Doe cases we need to mindful and remain extremely respectful and not so judgemental. These people at one point were someone’s children, sibling, perhaps someone’s parent, someone’s spouse. They were most likely someone’s everything at one point. And now there could be a family or friend or loved one who has no idea what happened to them, has no idea why they haven’t heard from them or seen them. 
John/Jane Doe cases are probably some of my favourite to research because they are just that, interesting. But I especially think in these cases we need to be respectful because these people are no longer here to tell their story or defend themselves. And everyone no matter, deserves to have their name back. 
I’ve known about the Lyle Stevik John Doe case long before he was ever identified. I want to say around 2016 is when I first heard of the case and when he was identified in May of 2018 I was so happy, though his story is sad. Since being identified his family has chosen to keep his identity from the public which I do not blame them one bit especially because I believe the family assumed he was out living a life without them and had no idea he had been deceased for so long. My heart goes out to the family of Lyle Stevik John Doe. 
TRIGGER WARNING: This case involves the topic of suicide and someone taking their own life. If this is triggering for some I suggest not reading this case and to stay tuned for upcoming cases I cover! I have a lot planned and there will be new posts from me every Friday (and on days where I am not so busy with work and school I will have 2 cases uploaded!) 
On Friday, September 14, 2001 a man checked into a motel in Amanda Park Washington called the Quinault Inn under the name Lyle Stevik after arriving there via bus. The clerk told police that he may have been Canadian, as he spoke with what seemed to the clerk as an accent similar to a Canadian one. 
When registering for his room he entered the alias Lyle Stevik, and for an address he wrote down the address of a Best Western facility in Meridian Idaho. The police ended up locating the hotel and questioning the staff, but none of them recognized photos of him. 
The man was reportedly seen walking back and forth at the side of the highway near the motel, but it is uncertain whether these sightings were seen before or after he registered for his room at the motel. The man actually requested a different room after complaining about the noise outside the room was he given. 
The man was found deceased in his motel room on Monday September 17, 2001. An initial report said he had stayed at the motel for two nights, but he had checked in on September 14, which meant he had stayed there for three nights. He originally only paid for one night, but then planned to stay for a few more days. He had hung himself by his belt from a bar inside the closet. 
He had left a note that said “for the room” on the bedside table and left $160 in $20 bills to cover the remaining two nights of the weekend, which I think just shows what kind of person he was in life, a good person. The bills used to pay for the room looked fresh, it appeared that they had been recently taken out of an ATM machine. He had no wallet on him or credit card, so it seemed kind of strange that the bills looked so fresh, because how did he use a ATM machine if he didn’t have a card or wallet on him? There was also a note left that just said the words “suicide.” He is thought to have died on September 16. It is suspected that he may have died by suicide due to depression or because of a fatal disease, though the autopsy showed no signs of that. 
The man was described to have light-skin, and by his features some report that he could of been from Native American or Hispanic ancestry. He also had black hair which was trimmed and neatly combed and green/hazel eyes. He weighed between 130-140 pounds, and was about 6 feet tall. 
An investigator also claimed that there had been a piece of paper located in the trash bin that had “suicide” written on it as if the man were practicing how to spell it. Some believe he could not speak English well. I find this strange though because the clerk that gave him his room never mentioned that he could not speak english well from the research i’ve done, the clerk only said he had some sort of accent and like previously mentioned it was thought to be a Canadian accent, and I feel as though that would of been a very important detail that wouldn’t of been left out. 
Police also said he had closed the blinds of the room and lined the closet with pillows. The man had no luggage with him, he only brought a toothbrush and toothpaste which were found in the room. He was wearing a gray tshirt and  blue levi jeans and black timberland boots. There was also a blue long sleeve plaid button up shirt found laying on a chair in the room. 
So you may be wondering where the name Lyle Stevik comes from. Some believe that he came up with this name from a character in a book written by Joyce Carol Oates. The novel was called “You Must Remember” and it was released in 1987. In the story, the main character’s father, Lyle Stevik, contemplates suicide, and attempts suicide, however doesn’t suceed. The John Doe spelled the name Stevik, but in the book the character’s name is spelled Stevick, with a C.
The local coroner’s office also said the man could of been from African-American ancestry in addition to having Hispanic and native american ancestry. 
DNA analysis concluded he was at least one-quarter native american and one quarter hispanic or spanish. His teeth showed evidence of earlier treatment with braces. He had an old appendectomy scar which is when you get your appendix removed, and also a small mole on the left side of his chin. He also had attached earlobes which is a genetic characteristic. His nails were clean and trimmed as well. 
The man also was not wearing a ring on his left finger, and there was no tan line there or any indication that he had ever worn a ring on that finger. They also did isotope testing on the man and found that he had travelled to various states before his death. Isotope testing in criminal investigations is basically used to find out things such as locating the country of origin for a given explosive, or to identify drug trafficking routes. 
The examination also showed that he had recently lost a large amount of weight up to 40 pounds. The medical examiner estimated this weight difference after noticing that the size of his jeans were fairly large in comparison to his body. His belt also had extra holes that had been punched into it. His age was estimated to be between 20 and 30 years old, giving his estimated year of birth to be between 1971 and 1981. 
Some also found it strange that this man had committed suicide only a few days after 9/11 happened. Investigator’s tried to connect the two, some people thinking maybe he had lost someone in 9/11 and could not go on without them so he decided to end his own life. 
The man known as Lyle Stevik was a John Doe. They had no idea where he came from or where his family could be. He was buried in an unmarked grave at the Fern Hill Cemetery in Aberdeen, Washington, and went unidentified for almost 17 years. 
Because this man had only been deceased for a short period of time before being found, examiners were able to obtain fingerprints, dental characteristics and DNA. These identifying markers were placed in international databases, including CODIS, but no matches were made. It was believed that he came from Port Angeles or Aberdeen, locations from which buses daily traveled to Amanda Park. 
The man was not recognized by any of the bus drivers from those areas. There were also two men who had gone missing named Alexander Craig and Steven Needham, but both had been ruled out as possible identities of the Lyle Stevik John Doe. 
In April of 2007, Lyle Stevik was listed as the profile of the month for Missing From the circle, which was a public service initiative launched by Lamar Associates, a law enforcement advisory organization based in Washington, D.C. to help solve cases of missing and unidentified Native Americans. 
The case went cold. But in 2018, two genetic genealogists from the DNA Doe Project named Colleen M. Fitzpatrick and Margaret Press uploaded DNA profiles to GEDmatch to attempt to link the unidentified man to individuals living in New Mexico and Idaho. The DNA Doe Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to identifying unknown deceased persons. 
And then on May 8, 2018 it was announced by the Grays Harbor Sheriff’s office that Lyle Stevik had been identified through DNA analysis and comparison with genetic relatives, performed by the DNA doe project in collaboration with Aerodyne and Full Genomes Corporation. They found a cluster of matches of relatives, perhaps even two or three generations removed, in New Mexico. Through this they were able to find members of the John Doe’s birth family. 
The man was from Alameda County, California and was 25 years old at the time of this death. The Grays harbour county sheriff’s office notified the man’s family, who had believed him to be alive and had just thought he did not want to associate with them. His family had a set of his fingerprints that were taken in grade school, as part of a children’s identification program. 
The sheriff’s department compared those to the fingerprints of the deceased man taken in 2001 and made a positive identification. However, we do not know the man’s actual name because his family has asked to keep it private, they do not want him to be publicly identified. 
This case is oddly similar to a case that happened in 1996. A woman who went by the name Mary A. Anderson committed suicide in a hotel room in Seattle, Washington in October of 1996. However, this is known to be a fake name the woman used and they have never been able to identify her. 
She reserved a room via telephone on October 9 about 90 minutes before she checked in. She arrived with two bags and paid cash for two nights. She also entered a New York address and telephone number, which investigator later determined to be false. 
On Friday, October 11 her body was discovered by a hotel staff member after she failed to check out. She was found reclining in the bed, clasping a Bible to her chest with the pages opened to Psalm 23. There was a suicide note on the bedside table. She left no identification. 
The Medical examiner determined she had consumed a lethal mixture of metamucil and cyanide and ruled her death a suicide. The woman was white, said to be between ages 30-50, with well groomed manicured nails and neatly combed hair. She had an IUD inserted, and appeared to have had breast surgery at some point in her life. 
Police tried to identify her through fingerprint records on file with the FBI, as well as through missing persons reports filed in the US, Canada and through Interpol which is the International criminal police organization. They were unable to trace the origins of cyanide used and the medical examiner’s office said that the woman had purposely left out any way that she could be identified. I included a photo of her facial reconstruction down below along with Lyle Stevik’s.
Though I don’t really believe there’s any connection to these two cases they are eerily similar and as I mentioned earlier I think John/Jane Doe cases are especially important to cover, and especially important to be respectful of any friends or family if they ever come across this post. 
It makes me extremely happy that Lyle Stevik John Doe was identified in May of 2018. His family has asked to keep his identity from the public, however after doing further research I did find some websleuths who have supposedly found a picture of Lyle Stevik in a yearbook and have released his real name. Personally, the photo to me looks extremely real and does look like him, almost exactly. 
However, because his family wants to grieve in peace I will not be posting that photo or his supposed real name. I do not think that is fair to the family and I think we need to let this case rest. Lyle Stevik got his name back, his family has the closure they needed after all these years and that’s all that matters.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to read this post! I have included a photo of Lyle Stevik John Doe’s sketch but I will not be including photos of his  body or the supposed yearbook photo of him as I just find that extremely disrespectful to not only him, but also his family. 
Hope you enjoyed this case!

In “Arena,” Lt. Harold had the dubious distinction of being the lone survivor of the Gorn attack on Federation Outpost Cestus III. As communications officer, he had informed the Gorn ship there were also women and children among them and that the outpost would surrender but to no avail. By the time he was found by the landing party led by Captain Kirk, Harold was suffering from radiation exposure, internal injuries and shock. Dr. McCoy told Kirk that this lieutenant only had a half hour to live, but they were finally able to transport him back to the Enterprise in time to save his life. End of story, right? Because we never see Lt. Harold again after he tells his story about the attack once he has been stabilized in Sickbay. Actually, there is a little piece of trivia about Harold that is interesting if you are into how items in one episode of Star Trek were often used again in later episodes.
Tumblr media
It seems that the actor who played Lt. Harold (Tom Troupe) wore the same tunic that Gary Walberg wore as Command Hansen in “Balance of Terror.”  But how do we know this? After all, at first glance, Harold’s tunic appears the same as any other officer in Starfleet. But if you look really carefully, it appears the two uniforms do have several things in common. And there is one subtle difference.
1) They are both the beige operations tunic that first appeared in “Where No Man Has Gone Before” but were demoted to being worn by other unknown extras in the Enterprise corridors or crewmen from other ships (as well as Charlie X). In fact, since “Arena” was the 20th episode in production order, Lt. Harold may well be the last person to wear this tunic.
2) Oddly, they both have black collars, which never appeared on the beige uniforms until these two episodes. The collars on the original operations tunic were ribbed and also beige.
Tumblr media
And ... 3) They both have this emblem, which apparently is worn by officers stationed at Federation outposts. It’s harder to see on Harold’s tunic, but if you look at his costume close up (http://bit.ly/2MJqzKD)you can see the vague image of the above emblem. It’s more apparent on the full sized image of Commander Hansen.  The above image comes from Memory Alpha in an article on Starfleet assignment patches. By the way, for those of you who are into how the braids on the sleeve of a Starfleet uniform represent the rank of the officer wearing it, Lt. Hansen presents another bit of minutiae. His tunic has no braids at all, which usually means he would be an ensign. Yet, he is referred to as lieutenant in the episode and actually in the final draft script there are four more references to his rank that did not make it into the actual episodes. Evidently when an officer’s uniform is held up at the ship’s cleaners, he or she is issued a generic one to wear until it comes back ( you know I just made that up, right?). Seriously though, you can’t use those braids as a definite marker of rank in every episode. Wardrobe problems happen.
Now that your knowledge of Lt. Hansen and his uniform have been enhanced, let’s move on to the actor who was in that uniform.
Tumblr media
After having served two years in Korea, Tom Troupe went to New York and studied acting under the famed acting teacher Uta Hagen in the early 50s. He actually made his acting debut in 1957 playing the part of Peter in the original Broadway production of The Diary of Anne Frank. Many consider him primarily a stage actor but he also began appearing on television around the same time.
Throughout the 60s, he was on such shows as Rawhide, Dr. Kildare, and Combat! Two years before his appearance on “Arena,” he played an intern in an episode of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. titled “The Bow-Wow Affair.” In the same episode were fellow Trek alumnae Antoinette Bower and Susan Oliver.
Tumblr media
In the same year of his Star Trek appearance, he also had a part in an episode of Mission Impossible. Troupe was also seen in many other shows from the 60s and 70s including The Wild, Wild West, Planet of the Apes (in an episode directed by Ralph Senesky, with fellow TOS actors Percy Rodrigues, Joseph Ruskin, Mark Lenard and Gary Combs), and Night Gallery.
Tumblr media
Besides television, Tom Troupe began to also make his mark in movies. He played the part of Pvt. Al Manella in The Devil’s Brigade which starred William Holden and Cliff Robertson. And it seems TOS actors seem to find each other everywhere they appear. With him in this movie were Maggie Thrett and Hal Needham. Along with Telly Savalas, Clint Eastwood, and Don Rickles, Troupe also appeared as Job in Kelly’s Heroes.
Tumblr media
Also, Tom had an important role in critically acclaimed movie which has yet to make it to the DVD format despite its rave reviews. Sofi, adapted from Nickolai Gogol’s story “Diary of a Madman,” is a one character, black and white movie that delves into a lowly clerk’s slow descent into obsession and madness. Critics lauded Tom Troupe’s performance as the Clerk and recommended the film itself despite it being a low-budget indie film.
The Clerk was not the only role held by Tom Troupe in this production. He was also the co-writer of the play and the screenplay. At the time, he was 38 and only one year past his Star Trek appearance. Quite an accomplishment! The role of the Clerk was performed by Troupe for many years afterwards on the stage, but the play returned to its original name, Diary of a Madman. And he asked Don Eitner to serve as a director on some of these productions.
Tumblr media
But there is also another Star Trek connection to this movie. Did you notice the co-writer of the play and screenplay was Don Eitner? Who is Don Eitner, you ask? He’s been mentioned here before as a body double and a photo double (yes there is a difference) for William Shatner and as a navigator on “Charlie X.” Don Eitner did go on after Star Trek to become a well regarded director.
Tumblr media
Don Eitner later went on to direct Tom Troupe and his wife Carole Cook in the theater production of The Lion in Winter. The two were married in 1964 and over the years they performed together in the stage productions of The Lion in Winter, The Gin Game, and Father’s Day. They also appeared on several episodes of Break a Hip. And of course, they each continued their separate careers.
Tumblr media
Carol Cooke has made her own mark on both television and Broadway. She was a protege of Lucille Ball who took her under her wing. Carole was part of Lucy’s group of actors known as The Desilu Revue. If you look in the upper right corner, there is a photo of her with four of the actors. Of course, Carole Cook was one of them (second from the left). But do you recognize the tall actress with the dark hair next to her? That is indeed Majel Roddenberry. It seems you can’t go far in early television history and not run into a Trek connection (in this case, two) somewhere.
Tumblr media
The couple is affectionately known as the "the Lunts of L.A. Theater" for their extensive stage work in Los Angeles and surrounding area. In 2002, Tom and Carole were jointly honored with the L.A. Ovation Award for Career Achievements. This was the first time a couple had been given this award by members of the theater community. And they are still quite active, given their ages. Recently (August 18th) Carole starred in a benefit performance of “Hello Dolly.”  And Tom Troupe had a small part in a sci-fi short film titled “Time Out” which just opened about a month ago in July. If you are interested in Tom Troupe’s career as an actor, you may want to give this video a watch. It is a fascinating inside story of a person who knows so much of Broadway and Hollywood history. The link to Part 2 is within the description of the first one. https://youtu.be/AxfQB0IpSRI

Skittles Commercial The Broadway Musical The Essay
So, this is how I spent my Sunday...
I was up at four am and at the airport by 5:15am.  But WHY?
Tumblr media
I had a mission. I was off to meet my friend Tim in NYC.  We were about to see
Tumblr media
Yes.  Will Eno wrote a thirty minute Broadway musical that will open and close today. One performance only. 
I’ve known Will for about twelve years and since we just finished working on The Realistic Joneses, it was pretty much a must-see. On the way in, I saw this flyer on the train.
Tumblr media
Obviously, I called. “Will my life be transformed by 1:30 PM today?“
Keano:”Very transformed. Your spirit is strong and ready. Believe in yourself”
At 1pm, Tim and I arrive at Town Hall. It's packed.  The line to pick up tickets stretches around the corner. A woman is selling T-shirts outside the theater for $10.  (Oddly, the T-shirts *inside* the theater are $20.) The mood in the room is ... buoyant. I do not know if this is a love of Skittles, an excitement about the difficult-to-get-tickets-for event or a carefully group curated ironic positioning in relation to the event.
Tumblr media
I'm pretty amused already, and the gentleman to my left is bouncing with enthusiasm. He's brought his 10 year old daughter. It's the first time he's been at Town Hall since performing as a child dancer in a ballet show 20 years ago. I tell him that Skittles Commercial The Broadway Musical is virtually guaranteed to be the same experience so it's great he gets to share his youth with her. It's her first live musical. I don't know what 10 year old me would have thought was going on. I ask her and she says "I like Skittles, so..." and shrugs.
I look through the program and discover to my delight that the director of this epic is none other than Sarah Benson, the artistic director of Soho Rep, a downtown theatre I have a little bit of a crush on (the theater, not the AD). Someone at DDB Needham is a subversive genius. We may never know who thought this up, but if I ever find out, they'll be the first person I buy a drink for at Soho House.  The second person (if not the same person) is Nathaniel Lawler, the copywriter/lyricist co-credited with Will on the book.
The lights dim with a musical fanfare and we're off.
And the next 30 minutes are freaking hilarious while combining a deep questioning about advertising, the communual ethics of the event itself, and a look at the performative dynamics between the show and the live audience in this hall.
And it's about mortality: death, and what we leave behind.  And Skittles. In three very short acts.
So, what actually happens in Skittles Commercial The Broadway Musical?  It's honestly difficult to describe but here's the plot as detailed as I can recall, and no doubt horribly reductive:
Part I
Several NYC residents are at a bodega before the Super Bowl. One of them is a regular, the others are there to buy contact lens solution or a snack.  No one is there to buy Skittles. The first two minutes are straight up Will Eno. The characters are in a mild and gentle existential crisis. There is a big game, but they are ambivalent toward it. There is no contact lens solution. No one seems likely to leave the store. There is no mention of Skittles, although there are several references to the futility of existence.
Then Michael C. Hall enters in an absolutely genius and ridiculous cat costume. He exudes weary despair and wanders around the store, occasionally slipping into his cat persona and batting at objects on the shelves and cat toys. Everyone on stage is excited and awkward about this celebrity appearance in the bodega.
Michael C. Hall explains that he is doing a Super Bowl commercial. No, not for TV. For the stage. He's feeling like this might be a big mistake and sings a ballad about this ambiguity ("This Might Have been a Bad Idea"). Will he still be respected for participating in such a stunt? Is this the ultimate sell-out? Or—after he tastes a Skittle—a wholehearted endorsement of a product he actually loves and will he become famous for the show we are watching at the moment. Or maybe he has to sing that because we're still in a commercial.
The bodega owner yells "NO!!" and tries to fend off something in the house with a broom. Musical flourish and he returns to the action.
At this point, someone in the audience stands up and interrupts the show to ask a question. (“Actually, a two part statement and a follow up question.”) She's trying to understand what's going on.  Another member interrupts to answer her.  A third person in the balcony complains he can't see anyone who's talking at the moment. A fourth man says this is all very well, but shouldn't we be using this time together in the spirit of the Town Hall and discuss something important, like a national high speed rail system? Multiple audience members get involved. Michael C. Hall gets increasingly impatient with all the interruptions. He's one angry kitty. He says he knew this was a terrible idea and says the show is over.  He walks off. The curtains close. House lights up.  
The interrupting audience members get up and leave, disgruntled, including several who hadn't spoken.  About a minute of silence follows. No one in the audience is talking. I am chortling (quietly).
Part II
House lights dim again, curtains open and the bodega has been replaced with an exterior of the Town Hall, complete with table selling the $10 T-Shirts.  Michael C. Hall (to be clear, I keep repeating his full name because the characters always say it in full) is leaving the theater.  The heckling "audience" from the first part descend on him (including the $10 T-shirt vendor), complaining that he abandoned the show and they didn't get the experience they had hoped for. McH argues that it is only a commercial and they didn't miss anything important. In a Pirandello-esque twist, he reminds them that they are all characters in the commercial anyway so it's all still happening. One of the women argues that she couldn't say anything horrible about Skittles ("they make you sad") because Skittles wouldn't write anything like that for a commercial.  Michael C. Hall replies "Wierdly enough, they did."  
The cast sings "Advertising Ruins Everything".  In despair and fury, they turn on Michael C. Hall and the bodega for betraying them.  They pull the exterior drop aside and rush the bodega owner and his broom, tearing apart the set in a Baccanalian frenzy.
Obviously, they kill Michael C. Hall in a flurry of lights and smoke, which brings us to...
Part III
As the smoke clears, Michael C. Hall reappears over his body, wrapped in white plastic chains in a lovely Jacob Marley/Christmas Carol moment. He's now in the afterlife, where he has a brief conversation with Winston Churchill and an even briefer conversation with Amelia Erhardt. Michael C. Hall is now doomed to walk eternity regretting his life choices. He and the chorus sing "This Definitely Was a Bad Idea".  
They eat Skittles.
End of play. The audience cheers.
While I can't recreate the wit of the thing, I'm hoping this helps everyone get a sense of the essential weirdness and theatricality of the experience. Mars was filming an archival copy, but I honestly hope that they don't release it. Benson, Eno and Hall made an inspired little piece of NYC theater mythology that probably can't be recreated but which I will enjoy recounting for years. It was a delight. Well worth 1400 miles of travel in a single day to see. Plus I didn't have to pretend to care about the Super Bowl, so the day was a win-win for me.
After the audience left, I got a farewell stage shot. Everyone off to Sardi’s for a celebration.
Tumblr media
And If you've seen The Realistic Joneses (and if not, why not?), I will leave you with one final crossover thought:
"I like Skittles.  Skittle."

Classic television personality Bert Convy would have celebrated a birthday today. Convy was a staple of television when I was growing up and my crush on him was no laughing matter. Who could forget those dimples?
  Bert Convy was born Bernard Whalen Convy on July 23, 1933 in St. Louis, Missouri. His professional aspirations always leaned toward show business although he was signed as a teenager by the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team. Convy attended UCLA’s film school with the likes of Carol Burnett and remembered, “The [UCLA] dean told the 500 of us, ‘if you are very, very lucky, one of you will make his living in this business . . . one!’ I remember walking out, feeling sorry for the other 499.'”
Convy had some success in several mediums of entertainment including a hit single, “Black Denim Trousers and Motorcycle Boots” in 1955 when he was part of the pop group, The Cheers. The musical talent also served him well on the Broadway stage in productions of “Cabaret” and “Fiddler on the Roof.
There were a few feature films in Bert Convy’s horizon as well including Roger Corman‘s A Bucket of Blood (1959), Dore Schary’s Act One (1963) where he plays Archie Leach, and Hal Needham‘s The Cannonball Run (1981), which stars his long-time friend and business partner, Burt Reynolds. But Bert’s medium was television, it’s where he would spend three decades and become one of its most recognizable faces.
Bert Convy got the opportunity to star in several TV series, but none would yield him the popularity of his dozens of TV movies, numerous guest appearances and the game shows that made him a household name. I remember him popping up everywhere. Check out this Prell commercial. Bert was such a desired guest star on popular TV shows during the 1970s that during one of his appearances on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson the topic of Bert’s guest spots came up. That same week five shows in which he guest starred aired. Incidentally, Convy made 39 appearances on The Tonight Show with a few of those as guest host.

I enjoyed seeing Bert Convy in anything. The charm meter instantly rose on whatever show I was watching the moment he showed up. His permanent gig, however, was as one of the premiere – and most entertaining – game show hosts on television. Bert’s greatest gift, in my opinion, was his easy, almost shy manner and quit wit, which was also charmingly corny at times.
My favorite Bert Convy game show was Tattletales, which I assume is the same for everyone. Tattletales, touted as “The game of celebrity gossip,” aired from 1974 to 1978 on CBS daytime. The show’s premise involved questions asked of celebrity couples about their personal lives and once in a while you’d get a dirty little secret revealed. There were two different versions of the game. My favorite, which I believe was the original, was where the three couples were asked a question while the other partner was off-screen and unable to hear. The couples would then win money for the studio audience, depending on how many questions they got right – or that matched. I always thought the other version a bit convoluted. Bert would ask a general question and whichever (husband or wife) was on stage would buzz in and answer. When the partners were brought back on the ones whose wife/husband gave the answer had to guess according to a clue. Or something like that. In both versions each couple sat in a colored section, which corresponded to a “rooting section” in the studio audience. The amount of money won by the couple would be divided among each audience member in that section, which is some cases must have been pennies.
You can watch a few episodes of Tattletales on YouTube and on the Game Show Network I believe. It’s still a good time.
Tumblr media
  Besides watching Bert Tattletales also had the added attraction of Hollywood stars and you got to see them as themselves – candid. Back then even a B-list celebrity had a hell of a resume so chances were these people were favorites from fantastic shows on television or from the stage. I was fascinated by getting to know people like John Astin and Patty Duke, Steve Allen and Jayne Meadows, William Shatner, Ross Martin, Chad Everett, Harvey Korman and Eva Gabor in a setting unlike anything else on television. Other popular game show hosts of the time like Gene Rayburn of Match Game, Richard Dawson of Family Feud and Allen Ludden of Password – and their respective wives – were also frequent guests on Tattletales. Needless to say Ludden and Betty White were always special treats. Bert and his wife Ann were occasional panelists themselves. I remember Richard Dawson, Gene Rayburn and Bob Barker all playing host on different occasions as well as frequent guest Bobby Van when Bert Convy was a contestant.
An example of the fun had on the show came from one of Bert’s own memories. He said that the show’s most embarrassing moment happened when Zsa Zsa Gabor was a panelist. Zsa Zsa appeared on Tattletales three times, each time with a different husband. On her third appearance, Convy recalled, she forgot the name of the current husband who accompanied her on the show.

With Elaine Joyce, Anne Meara and Barbara Stuart
Bert Convy was awarded a Daytime Emmy Award for hosting Tattletales in 1977 with the show receiving a nomination for “Outstanding Game or Audience Participation Show” the same year.
They just don’t make ’em like that anymore.
