Donny & Marie on DVD

The Donny & Marie DVDs should be out soon (August)! Please, please, let them include the infamous Star Wars episode. Paul Lynde telling Chewie to "Get your big ape hands off me!" should be considered essential viewing to anyone interested in TV history.

Richard Dreyfuss

I came across this observation in Time from Richard Dreyfuss, who plays a gay character in the upcoming disaster remake, Poseiden:

Q&A Richard Dreyfuss

Was it your first gay role? No, I did the Larry Kramer play The Normal Heart. When I was a kid, I did TV shows with ambiguous characters like Bewitched. I thought they were just well dressed.

Of course, no one was as well dressed and as ambigious on Bewitched as Paul Lynde. Odd, in a way, that Paul also had a cruise ship movie among his credits, although it's considered a disaster film for reasons that had nothing to do with genre.
