I don't know if GOLIATH (2016-2021) is a good TV show per se but the way it completely changes toneΒ from season to season is WILD and I think it maybe only works because of Billy Bob Thornton anchoring it?

S1: Courtroom Legal Drama
S2: Bloody Crime Chaos
S3: Straight Twin Peaks
S4: Moody Film Noir

This just triggered a core memory of annoyance lol Impossible to watch this without eye-rolling if you lived through the 80s super couple era of Clint and Viki!

I had no idea she was a comedy writer! Definitely going to look for this album and give it a listen.

You may know Selma Diamond #BOTD from NIGHT COURT, but she was also an Emmy nominated comedy writer.

Her 1960 album is just gold. Delightful storytelling from an effortlessly natural wit.

For day 79 of my year long retrospective on TV Movies that need a DVD/Blu Ray release, I chose 1983's Deadly Lessons. This is the closest I think the telefilm ever got to following the exact blueprint of the slasher film, and it's got a great cast, led by the forever adorable Diane Franklin.

Archived web material for CDC.gov is preserved on the CDC Archive Site

Not sure that everything will be there but two things to try:

1. The CDC archive looks like it still has some materials available archive.cdc.gov
2. Plug the CDC link into the Wayback Machine web.archive.org

Hope that helps!
