Breaking News: Mannix Marathon on Cloo until 6 a.m. Eastern Sunday, DirecTV Channel 308. Be there! 


Back in the day before we all knew what CSIs and mass spectrometers were, all you needed when you were in a real tight pinch was to call your ex-Army pal from Korea out in LA named Joe Mannix.
Mannix would get us the answers we need!


Mannix wasn't just a crime-fighting gumshoe, a top-shelf detective with a keen eye for clues, beautiful women and people who got the shaft from the system, but someone who wasn't afraid a of a fight.
Joe Mannix also had a deeply ingrained sense of integrity and righting wrongs.
Remember that, integrity?


Joe Mannix for Broward Sheriff, Al Lamberti for Media Photo Ops!

Yes, strings, woodwinds and brass in perfect harmony!
It's why Lalo Schifrin was a genius.

If you play the extended version above now for any half-normal kid in elementary school -like one of my teachers once did at Fulford Elementary in North Miami Beach, back when the show was still on the air- I absolutely guarantee you that their eyes will light up.

Proof positive that no photo of Alyssa Milano is without its magnetic CHARM. Not that we EVER doubted it!

Behind the scenes at ABC-TV's hit show Castle, with Alyssa Milano:




Alyssa's appearance back in January, A Rose for Everafter, was only my favorite of the season. Wow!
You can watch the episode here in its entirety:

It's easy to see in mere moments why Alyssa's clever and witty photo site has become one of my personal favorite social media additions this year: http://alyssamilano.posterous.com/

A couple of seconds to take, a few minutes of amusement & delight!

So, you're asking yourself, why did I run the Mary Tyler Moore Show videos here of the famous MTM theme song, "Love Is All Around" by Sonny Curtis, in the middle of Alyssa's Touch NFL apparel photos?

Always one of my favorite parts of the opening credits!

However strange it may seem to actually read in print, the more you pay attention to such things, the more you know that in some very fundamental ways, the current reality is that Alyssa intuitively "gets" the new media universe MUCH better than the McClatchy folks running the Miami Herald and the Tribune Company people running the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. That's our reality.
