SERIADOS DE TV DOS ANOS 60: SAUDADE DA BOA !

Seriados de TV dos Anos 60. A grande diversão doméstica daqueles anos 60 era a TV. Ainda em Preto e Branco. Inúmeros seriados fizeram sucesso por aqui, deixando muitas saudades. Quem viveu sabe ! O Vigilante Rodoviário O pioneiro seriado brasileiro O Vigilante Rodoviário foi criado, dirigido pelo cineasta Ary Fernandes e como produtor técnico Alfredo Palácios, para TV brasileira exibido na década de 1960 pela Tupi. Ary Fernandes também é o compositor da canção tema de abertura da série, intitulada Canção do Vigilante Rodoviário. Desde criança, Fernandes sentia falta de um herói 100% brasileiro. A criação da série foi a realização deste antigo sonho. A escolha do tema foi a admiração que ele próprio nutria pela Polícia Rodoviária e pela simpatia que a população sentia por este órgão. Foi ao ar pela primeira vez em março de 1961, na Tupi Canal 4 numa (4ª) quarta-feira, às 20h05 após o telejornal Repórter Esso, e patrocinado pela Nestlé do Brasil. Em 1967, foi novamente reexibido pela Tupi. Durante a década de 1970 a série foi reexibida pela Globo. Até então, a Rede Globo (TV aberta) era a única emissora que havia reprisado a série além da Tupi. Papai Sabe Tudo Father Knows Best (br / pt: Papai Sabe Tudo) é um seriado de televisão estado-unidense. Começou a ser transmitido no rádio, em 1949 e estreou na televisão em 1954, permanecendo no ar até 1960, num total de 203 episódios. No Brasil, foi transmitido na década de 1960, pela TV Tupi; na década de 1970, pela Rede Globo; e na década de 1980, pela TV Cultura. Atualmente a série é exibida na Rede Brasil de Televisão. Era estrelada pelo ator Robert Young, que representava Jim Anderson, um pai simpático e sabichão de uma família feliz, composta por ele, sua esposa Margareth, interpretada por Jane Wyatt, e seus três filhos: Betty (Elinor Donahue), Bud (Billy Gray) e Kathy (Lauren Chapin).O Elenco de Papai Sabe Tudo A série foi uma das produções que definiu o perfil da década de 1950, em especial a visão do país sobre como seria a família americana ideal. Criada por Ed James, “Papai Sabe Tudo” estreou em 1949 pela rádio NBC, chegando à TV em 1954, pelo canal CBS. Entre os atores que deram vida à família no rádio, apenas Robert Young fez a transição para a televisão. Apesar de ter entrado para a história da televisão, a série não foi bem recebida quando estreou, sendo cancelada pela CBS em sua primeira temporada. No entanto, a NBC, que percebeu seu potencial e a resgatou, produzindo mais cinco temporadas. Na história, Young interpreta Jim Anderson, um pacato vendedor de seguros que com a ajuda de sua esposa, Margaret (Jane Wyatt), fazia o máximo para educar seus três filhos: Betty (Elinor Donahue), James (Billy Gray) e Kathy (Lauren Chapin). Apesar da boa audiência, a série acabou em 1960 a pedido de Robert Young que, cansado de interpretar o mesmo personagem por onze anos (somando o período do rádio e da TV), pediu para o canal encerrar sua produção. A série teria a produção de dois telefilmes que reuniram o elenco original. Em 2008 “Papai Sabe Tudo” iniciou sua carreira em DVD. A Shout! Factory já lançou as cinco primeiras temporadas. Além disso, existe um projeto de levar a série para o cinema. O MENINO DO CIRCO George Michael Dolenz (Los Angeles, 8 de março de 1945) mais conhecido como Micky Dolenz é um músico e ator estadunidense, mais conhecido por ter sido baterista e vocalista do grupo musical The Monkees. É filho do ator George Dolenz, que estrelou a série O Conde de Monte Cristo. Toda a família Dolenz era feita de artistas e o próprio Micky fazia gigs com a irmã Coco Dolenz. Aos 9, ele estrelou a série Circus Boy, que foi veiculado no Brasil, nos anos 1960, sob o título O Menino do Circo, sob o pseudônimo de Micky Braddock (para não se aproveitar da fama do pai) e tingiu os cabelos de loiro. Com o fim da série, Micky dedicou-se aos estudos, formando em 1963 a banda Missing Links, sob o pseudônimo Mike Swain. A banda chegou a lançar um single, Don't Do it, que ficou em 40º lugar nas paradas americanas. Foi aí que Dolenz fez o famoso teste para o seriado The Monkees e ficou com uma das vagas. Após o fim da banda, Micky passou a trabalhar de ator dublador e diretor em seriados e desenhos. Trabalhou também como DJ na Rádio CBS de New York. Micky é pai da atriz Amy Dolenz. Rin-Tin-Tin

(Lorraine, 10 de setembro de 1918 — Los Angeles, 10 de agosto de 1932), também grafado Rin-Tin-Tin, nos anos 20 e 30, era um cachorro pastor alemão que estrelou várias séries e filmes, a partir da década de 20 do século XX. No final da Primeira Guerra Mundial, em 15 de setembro de 1918, o Cabo Lee Duncan, da Força Expedicionária dos EUA, sob o comando do Capitão George Bryant, encontrou em Toul-aux-Lorraine, na França, um canil alemão bombardeado e, num buraco, uma cadela com 5 cachorrinhos recém-nascidos. O regimento os adotou e, quando voltaram para Los Angeles, nos EUA, Duncan ficou com 2 filhotes, um macho e uma fêmea, e Bryant com os outros filhotes e a mãe, dos quais não se ouviu mais falar. Duncan chamou os filhotes de Nannette e Rin Tin Tin, o mesmo nome que os soldados franceses davam a uns bonequinhos de boa sorte, que sempre levavam consigo. Nannette contraiu pneumonia e morreu, e Duncan se dedicou a ensinar Rin Tin Tin, desenvolvendo suas habilidades e educando-o por 5 anos. Era um cão de pelo escuro e olhos negros. Apelidado Rinty por seu proprietário, o cão aprendeu truques e podia saltar grandes alturas. Ele foi transformado em um cão de shows pelo produtor cinematográfico Charles Jones, que pagou a Duncan para filmar Rinty. O primeiro Rin Tin Tin surgiu nas telas, assim, em 1922, em The Man From Hell's River, no papel de um lobo. Sua primeira aventura protagonizada no cinema foi em 1923, no filme Where The North Begins (“Onde o Norte Começa”), quando contracenou com a atriz do cinema mudo Claire Adams, sob a direção de Chester Franklyn. Credita-se ao enorme sucesso popular do cão artista, o salvamento da falência iminente da (Warner Brothers). Outros filmes foram: Shadows of the North (“Sombras do Norte”) (1923), Clash of the Wolves (1925), A Dog of the Regiment (1927), Tiger Rose (1929). Até 1930, fez um total de 22 filmes. Entre 1930 e 1955, "Rin Tin Tin" (nem sempre interpretado pelo cão original) atuou em 3 diferentes séries de rádio, iniciando em 5 de abril de 1930, com The Wonder Dog, em que o Rin Tin Tin original fez os efeitos sonoros até sua morte, em 1932, quando Rin Tin Tin, Jr. continuou. O seu programa de 15 minutos ia ao ar aos sábados, na Blue Network, passando posteriormente para as quintas-feiras. Em setembro de 1930, o título do programa foi trocado de The Wonder Dog para Rin Tin Tin. Don Ameche e Junior McLain estrelavam a série, que terminou em 8 de junho de 1933. Patrocinada por Ken-L Ration, a série continuou na CBS de 5 de outubro 1933 até 20 de maio de 1934, aos domingos. Rin Tin Tin teve muitos concorrentes na época, entre eles Ranger, Strongheart e Lightining. PERDIDOS NO ESPAÇO No futuro ano de 1997 a Terra sofre com sua superpopulação. O Professor John Robinson, sua esposa Maureen, seus filhos Judy, Penny e Will, além do Major Don West, são selecionados para viajar pelo espaço até um planeta do sistema Alpha Centauri, a fim de estabelecer uma colônia, para que outras pessoas possam viver lá. A viagem é realizada na espaçonave batizada como Júpiter 2. No entanto, o doutor Zachary Smith, um agente de um governo inimigo é enviado para sabotar a missão. Ele é bem sucedido em reprogramar o robô B9 para destruir os equipamentos da nave oito horas após a decolagem, mas no processo se atrasa e fica preso na espaçonave, que decola com ele a bordo. Ao tentar desativar o robô, este se religa sozinho. Sem saber do perigo que criou para todos, o doutor Zachary Smith decide acordar a família Robinson, que estava em tubos de hibernação. Quando menos se espera, o robô B9 inicia a sua programação e destrói o sistema de navegação, rádio e vários aparelhos importantes, antes de ser desativado. Com a espaçonave em sérias avarias e já muito distante da rota programada, todos a bordo tornam-se perdidos no espaço e lutam para encontrar o caminho de volta para casa. O seriado, produzido pela CBS e que tinha como criador e produtor executivo Irwin Allen, foi ao ar pela primeira vez nos Estados Unidos em setembro de 1965 e permaneceu até março de 1968. A série teve o episódio piloto mais caro da história da televisão, que nunca foi ao ar. Mas algumas cenas foram reaproveitadas nos primeiros cinco episódios da série. Segundo rumores da época, caso a série não fosse um sucesso, a CBS poderia quebrar pelo dinheiro gasto na produção. Irwin Allen foi um produtor de televisão muito bem sucedido, que emplacou outros sucessos tais como "Terra de Gigantes", "O Túnel do Tempo" e "Viagem ao Fundo do Mar". No entanto, Perdidos no Espaço foi, sem dúvida, seu maior sucesso. Allen aproveitou ainda na sua série elementos do clássico de 1956, Forbidden Planet (br.: O Planeta Proibido), tais como o formato de disco da nave Jupiter 2; e o robô serviçal humanóide, que no filme era chamado de Robby. Jonathan Harris, que interpretou o doutor Smith, foi contratado por último para participar da série, e por isto aparece nos créditos como "participação especial" (termo usado na televisão pela primeira vez no seriado). Apesar de ter sido o último personagem a ser incluído na ideia da série (no episódio piloto não há Dr. Smith nem o Robô), ele acaba sendo o centro da trama. Perdidos no Espaço teve 3 temporadas produzidas. A primeira foi em preto-e-branco. Na segunda temporada a série ganha cores, mas perde bastante em qualidade, deixando de lado o foco na ficção científica, e adotando um tom mais de comédia. Na terceira temporada, uma mudança de formato foi introduzida. Nesta temporada, o Júpiter 2 viaja livremente no espaço, visitando um novo mundo em cada episódio, enquanto a família tenta retornar à Terra ou, pelo menos, alcançar seu destino original no sistema Alpha Centauri. Com muita aventura, é a temporada preferida de muitos fãs. Pouco antes de se começar a produção da quarta temporada, a série foi cancelada, mesmo com alguns roteiros escritos e cenas gravadas.

This thing called entrepreneurship is such an amazing thing! It has its challenges, but at the end of the day it’s the entrepreneurial way or no way for me.

My battle with cancer took me off the scene this past year. I sold everything of value just to stay afloat. My car and all. When you’re an entrepreneur there is no 401(k), sick days; and for many of us no Obama Care.

My insurance was very basic. It allowed me to see my primary to manage hypertension and diabetes. I would get a basic panel (blood work) every quarter at $150, but when I tell you NOTHING prepares you for cancer (of any sort). With that, I encourage you to really do some forward thinking and when the time permit do what you can to have a strategy in place for you and your family.

I am so blessed to have such a loving and supporting family. Who has financially supported when things were tight. To my clients turned family Kaithlyn Ramirez Kathy Mclain Hair Thank You not enough! I have no doubt your harvest is near.

In August I made an attempt to get back to work, but then discovered a lump in my breast. 2 Biopsy later, I went to see a specialist at USF and the mass is not cancerous 🙏🏽 but due to the size of it they suggest it be removed. But I couldn’t qualify for surgery due to concerns with my heart. After undergoing nuclear heart testing I’m cleared for surgery Nov. 7th. There were no clots 🙏🏽

September I attempted again and May I say the calls and text came in. I spoke/trained at 5 events in 4 weeks. Clients came through, promotional Ads secured and I just wanna tell you all THANK YOU for all the support and love and for believing in me & my purpose!

To my sister Deanna Faison—I cant do life without you! You’re an idiot but you take so much weight from me and carry it as your own . Cedric Hollywoodced Washington Angie Norton Delshown Sly Wilburn Michelle Marshall (Kingmarshall) Ayana Laurent Chantey Crawford Ashley Hodgson Louie

You all are my MVP’s.

Cedric Washington all we been through and you have no clue how much I respect and rely on you. You talk trash but we are blessed!😍

Introducing | NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship Program Recipients and Finalists

NYFA has awarded a total of $644,000 to 95 New York State artists.

The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) has announced the recipients and finalists of the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship program, which it has administered for the past 31 years with leadership support from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA). The organization has awarded a total of $644,000 to 95 artists (including three collaborations) whose ages range from 25-84 years throughout New York State in the following disciplines: Crafts/Sculpture, Digital/Electronic Arts, Nonfiction Literature, Poetry, and Printmaking/Drawing/Book Arts. Fifteen finalists, who do not receive a cash award, but benefit from a range of other NYFA services, were also announced. A complete list of the Fellows and Finalists follows.

The NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship Program makes unrestricted cash grants of $7,000 to artists working in 15 disciplines, awarding five per year on a triennial basis. The program is highly competitive and this year’s recipients and finalists were selected by discipline-specific peer panels from an applicant pool of 2,744. Since it was launched in 1985, the program has awarded over $31 million to more than 4,400 artists.

“Being an artist is hard work, and a struggle for many; a recent report by New York City’s Department of Cultural Affairs found that 40% of the artists surveyed cannot afford art supplies and tools,” said Michael L. Royce, Executive Director, NYFA. “This sobering figure is one of the reasons why we are proud to support artists across New York State with unrestricted grants. For 31 years, artists of all disciplines have put the money towards anything that helps make their lives and practice easier, including buying the supplies and time they need to make their art and push their careers forward” he added.

New York State Council on the Arts Chair, Dr. Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel, said: “The NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship program supports New York State’s creative communities, and NYSCA is proud of our leadership role in this nearly 32-year collaboration with NYFA. Since 1985, NYSCA has provided $31 million in funding for this critical program. Each individual grant helps the recipient more freely engage in imaginative work, and expand the boundaries of creative media. It is gratifying to know that this program has made a real difference in the daily lives of thousands of artists, throughout New York State."

Richard Barlow of Oneonta, New York, was awarded a Fellowship in Printmaking/Drawing/Book Arts. He expressed that “the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship is an incredible validation of my work as a visual artist. As a relative newcomer to New York State, it also feels like an acknowledgement that I have established a successful art practice and presence in my new home.” He added that the money will “offset many of the costs of maintaining an active artistic practice: travel, shipping, residencies, materials, promotion, fabrication, etc., and in doing so will alleviate financial pressures and open some mental breathing room to allow for more creative work.”

Neda Toloui-Semnani, a Fellow in Nonfiction Literature from Brooklyn, New York, shared the following about her fellowship: “The NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship has given me, a nonfiction writer, the luxury of resource. It has given me both peace of mind and a great deal of joy because I get to see through the final reporting and writing of my first book without compromising. It’s an extraordinary gift.”

Proceeds from the golf tournament will benefit students at Wilkes Community College with student scholarships.

This year’s tournament began with Danny Holman, golf committee member, thanking the sponsors. “The Henry Moore Scholarship Golf Classic is one of the longest-running golf tournaments in our area, said Holman. “I am grateful for the support of all the players, our sponsors, volunteers, and the committee members who helped make this year’s tournament such a great success.”

Thank you to the WCC Foundation Golf Committee members: Chairman Ben Garrett, Linda Absher, Evelyn Bumgarner, Danny Holman, Arnold Lakey, Jackie Mallory, Connie McNeill, Phil Stevens and Jay Vannoy.

The golf tournament is named for the late Henry Moore, who was instrumental in the establishment of Oakwoods Country Club and a strong supporter of the college. He was eager to assist with the planning of WCC’s first golf tournament, helping with the layout and details of the tournament as well as being the first player to sign up to play. Unfortunately, Henry Moore passed away a few months prior to that first tournament in 1984. Saddened by the loss of a great friend and supporter, the college officially named the tournament the Henry Moore Golf Classic in his memory.

For more information on making a donation to the WCC Foundation, contact the Wilkes Community College Development Office at 336-838-6491. Contributions may be sent to WCC Foundation, P.O. Box 120, Wilkesboro, NC 28697.

Wilkes Community College, a member of the North Carolina Community College System, is a public, two-year, open-door institution serving the people of Wilkes, Ashe and Alleghany counties and beyond. Established in 1965, WCC continues to build on a strong history of meeting the educational needs and cultural interests of our students, community and workforce. WCC prepares learners for success in a dynamic world.

Viewers watched Cassidy Gifford grow up as her mom, Kathie Lee Gifford, co-hosted Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee. Now she’s stepping into the spotlight alongside her mother in Prime Video’s The Baxters, based on Karen Kinsgbury’s bestselling novel collection.

Cassidy stars as Reagan Decker in the faith-driven drama series. Reagan works alongside Kari Baxter (Ali Cobrin) and becomes the love interest of Luke Baxter (Josh Plasse), the youngest member of the Baxter family. At the end of the first season, Reagan and Luke take a major leap in their relationship when they say “I love you” to one another for the first time.

Both mom and daughter have key roles in The Baxters. Kathie Lee makes a special guest appearance as Lillian Ashford, Elizabeth Baxter’s (Roma Downey) friend who tragically lost her son in a car accident years ago.

The series, which consists of 10 episodes, also stars Ted McGinley, Brandon Hirsch, Masey McLain, Jake Allyn, Reilly Anspaugh, Emily Peterson, and Taylour Paige.

Throughout Kathie Lee’s Live! tenure, she frequently talked about her kids, Cassidy and Cody Gifford, whom she shares with the late Frank Gifford. Cassidy made her acting debut in an episode of That’s So Raven in 2005. The Baxters marks her first series regular role.

Kathie Lee returned to Studio 1A for an interview with Cassidy ahead of The Baxters premiere to discuss their new show. Kathie Lee co-hosted the fourth hour of Today with Hoda Kotb for 11 years.

“You’re great in it,” Cassidy sweetly told her mom about her performance in The Baxters. Kathie Lee, with her signature sass, quickly replied, “I am.” The former talk show host added that The Baxters is a “sweet” series, and it’s “time for a show like this.”

Unfortunately, the Giffords don’t share any scenes together in the first season. Hey, there’s always Season 2!

There's no stronger bond than family!

On Tuesday, the trailer for the upcoming Prime Video drama series, The Baxters, was released -- and it's full of heartbreak, hope and redemption.

Picture-perfect parents Elizabeth (Roma Downey) and John Baxter (Ted McGinley) pose with their five adult children, before realizing they will have to come together to support one of their own.

Elizabeth and John rally their children to step up, as their daughter, Kari (Ali Cobrin), reveals that her husband is having an affair with one of his students.

Kari turns to her siblings, Ashley (Masey McLain), Luke (Josh Plasse), Erin (Reilly Anspaugh) and Brooke (Emily Peterson) for advice and guidance as she navigates the next steps in her marriage.

Eventually, Kari also leans on an old friend, Ryan -- and begins to fall for him -- but her husband returns and asks if she is willing to make their marriage work.

The Baxters is based off of the New York Times bestselling book series, Redemption, by Karen Kingsbury.

According to a press release, "Season one of The Baxters centers on Elizabeth and John’s daughter, Kari, who learns the shocking truth that her professor husband, Tim, has been secretly having an affair with one of his college students. As her relationship is tested, Kari must seek comfort in her faith and family to discover if love is truly a choice and if her marriage can be redeemed. In this deeply moving faith-based journey, The Baxters must come together as a family to work through the challenges of life."

The series also stars Cassidy Gifford, Kathie Lee Gifford, Brandon Hirsch, Jake Allyn, Damien Leake and Orel De La Mot. The series is directed by Rachel Feldman and Tony Mitchell.
