I don’t understand how anyone can support #MASH (or any other 4:3 TV show) in widescreen. No matter how “nice” it looks, it’s not how the show was meant to be viewed. An HD remaster is fine but it should maintain the original 4:3 aspect ratio.

Sixty three years ago in October 1959, The Twilight Zone premiered. As my dad said: The writer’s role is to menace the public’s conscience. He must have a position, a point of view. He must see the arts as a vehicle of social criticism and he must focus on the issues of his time.

Our thoughts are with Derek Redmond and his family following the death of his father, Jim.

Together, they brought us one of the most inspirational moments in Olympic history. ❤️

@televisionaryZW Relatively obscure? That dog won't hunt, sir. It ran for five seasons.

Happy #NationalTwilightZoneDay!

63 years ago today, the series debuted on @CBS with "Where is Everybody?"

Love the last line of this TV guide write-up from the October 2, 1959 premiere: "We think this series may really be a hit." Could be! 😉

#Selfie was a great show that deserved a longer run.

[Selfie Ignite @SelfieIgnite]

Happy 8th anniversary to Selfie (Debut date: September 30, 2014)! A fun show that was ahead of its time. Maybe one day we'll see a #SelfieRevival?

We were wondering if today was #NationalCoffeeDay. What's up with the coffee in a bag @dunkindonuts?
