While I feel sorry for the cast, I would think Sorkin finds most things incomprehensible. I'm no fan of Rudin's, but anyone who protects the public from Sorkin's efforts is to be lauded. --Dave Sikula On Saturday, July 30, 2022 at 7:44:29 AM UTC-7 PGage wrote: > Also relevant, this quote from

As has often been noted, her influence on the culture was profound, far exceeding the short lived television program she had a supporting role on. I don’t think it is possible for people who were not alive in the 1960s to fully appreciate what it meant to see her on that Bridge. Tough weekend for

Dead at 88. I’m going to go ahead and give him his own thread here, not just because he was the biggest star in the early phase of the NBA’s television history, but because he was a high impact Analyst for, as I recall, both ABC and CBS’s coverage of the NBA in the 70s.
