More Dexter posters

Christina Ricci in a series that seems to fit her character, and her figure, quite well

This woman is insane and highly detestable, thus very effective.
A jock version of Sandra Bernhard. Nice poster, weird TV.

Glee - Sue (Allposters.com)

More colors and patterns with Zooey Deschanel

House, M.D. Another crazy, psychotic character with endearing qualities

Do we care anymore? Did we care to begin with? Ashton Kutcher? That actually makes sense.
The title of the show never seemed appropriate for the characters.

Dexter Season 6 Trailer, Promo Poster + 13 unique posters http://j.mp/Dexter-Showtime by Ty Mattson #Squidoo

Dexter Season 6 Promo Poster:

"The folks over at Showtime have produced yet another humdinger of a Dexter promo poster, emphasizing this year's religious theme. It not only refers to Dexter (Michael C. Hall) as an avenging angel but the blood splatter behind him also gives this distinct impression."

"The Howdy Doody Show was on NBC from 1947 through 1960 and was the first show [on the air] of the day. It ran for over 2300 episodes and had a profound effect on the kids of the fifties. It was also the first television show to hit the 2000 episode mark."

Read about memories of the Peanut Gallery which originated on this show.

Chief Halftown and Sally Starr

Reminiscing about these two television personalities that were part of the last dying embers of nostalgia for Cowboys and Indians in the 1970s. Gene London also had his own after school TV show with cartoons and ghost stories.

GREETINGS FROM CHIEF HALFTOWN
Verso:“A full-blooded Seneca Indian, Chief Halftown has traveled thousands of miles in helping thousands of youngsters learn to enjoy the fun of bowling. There are Chief Halftown Junior Bowling Clubs in over 200 cities in the United States and Canada.”
Wish I knew about the Chief when I was a kid. With my love for bowling, this would have been right down my alley.
More about the Chief and his long-running TV program HERE and HERE.

Greetings from Chief Halftown

These performers were contemporaries of other local TV personalities on Philadelphia, like Wee Willie Webber, Dr. Shock (Joe Zawislak) and Elvira. Don't forget the early Goth soap opera called "Dark Shadows" (1966-1971) with Barnabas Collins.

Love it - Sally Starr and Chief Halftowne?

I saw Chief Halftown about 18 years ago doing a TeePee gig at Dutch Wonderland when I took my children there. I gushed like a little girl and tried to convince my kids how cool he was / is.

Gene London

Sally is still with us, living I think in Jersey. spoke with her in '88 and she was working in nsyndication in small markets.

Sally Starr used to open her show with
"I hope you feel as good as you look, cuz you sure look good to your gal Sal...!" I remember it well!

CHief Halftown is at Dutch Wonderland.

Love, luck and lollipops! [Sally Starr]

The Chief died a few years back...

Chief Traynor O. Halftown http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=7663517

I think the Chief was part owner of the Downingtown Farmer's Market

Our gal sal. remember her show with cartoons? and chief haftown came to cynwyd school one day and told us what it was like to be an indian. did you know he was a star athlete? read that somewhere recentlly.

We use to take the kids to Dutch Wonderland and he would be sitting in a teepee waiting and hoping that someone would come over and say hello...so sad to see and this was 2003-2005 I'm guessing

Memorabilia Auction: Larry Hagman Raises $500,000 - Starpulse.com

Larry Hagman Raises $500,000 At Memorabilia Auction - Starpulse.com:

"~~Dallas~~ [I Dream of Jeannie] legend Larry Hagman raised more than $500,000 after auctioning off a portion of his memorabilia collection on Saturday. The TV villain, famed for his portrayal of sleazy oil tycoon J.R. Ewing, sold off a number of personal valuables collected over the years at Julien's Auctions in California.

Hagman, who opened the sale in style by riding through the streets of Beverly Hills on horseback, was on hand to describe the items going under the hammer for bidders, according to the Associated Press. The best-selling lot was a silver saddle, which fetched a staggering $80,000, while a portrait of his late Dallas co-star Jim Davis went for more than $38,000.

A replica bottle from I Dream Of Jeannie, the show that gave Hagman his big break, sold for more than $10,000 and a pair of pistols brought in more than $4,000."
