Eh, for a whopping 6 episodes in a single season. After that they just wrote her out of the show completely.

 

This is true, but that's because the new one sucked. Writing her out was a good thing

Uh, that was a year ago.

RIP Joe Kelley, Shadows of Knight guitarist. The Shadows of Knight from Mt. Prospect had garage rock classic "Gloria" reach #10 nationally, #1 in Chicago in 1966. Joe later fronted the Joe Kelley Blues Band.

Tommy Morrison former Heavyweight Champ was only 44.

Really saddened to see this. Just the other day (it may have been the day he died) I watched a pretty cool documentary on TV Horror Hosts called American Scary. There was was some good Svengoolie footage. Jeez, I remember Jerry G. when he was a WCFL morning DJ. That was probably about 1966.

RIP Tom Clancy. My quick thoughts: Every modern-day thriller writer owes a slice of their career to Tom Clancy. In my case, I write well-researched thrillers filled with government secrets. I wouldn't be here without Clancy. He paved that path for so many of us.

Thrillers, like all art, are always a reflection of the culture. No one captured that Cold War fear -- and that uniquely American perspective -- like Clancy. Jack Ryan wasn't just a character. He was us. He was every American in those days when we were a push-of-the-button away from nuclear war. But unlike us, he was ready to do something about it. Seeing Jack Ryan win was vital to the American psyche. It wasn't just entertainment. It wasn't even hope. It was the true American Dream.

Clear and Present Danger was the best book of them all. Too bad the movie missed out on so much of the book. The stuff in Columbia was really incredibly done.

I love Rainbow 6 more than just about any of his books.

I loved all of those Clancy books....

 

Sad to know there will never be another Ryan one.
