A Man Called Hawk Do you remember the television series called, “A Man Called Hawk”? It was a prime time television series from ABC in the 80's.

Avery Franklin Brooks (born October 2, 1948) is an American actor, director, singer, and educator. He is best known for his television roles as Benjamin Sisko on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, as Hawk on Spenser: For Hire and its spinoff A Man Called Hawk.

A Man Called Hawk is an American action drama series that ran on ABC from January 1989 until May 13, 1989. The series is a spin-off of the crime drama series Spenser: For Hire, and features the character Hawk, who first appeared in the 1976 novel Promised Land, the fourth in the series of Spenser novels by mystery writer Robert B. Parker.

On Spenser: For Hire, the character of Hawk was defined by his sharp outfits, streetwise manner, sunglasses (worn even at night) and the incredibly large long-barreled Colt Python .357 Magnumrevolver that he carried with him nearly everywhere. He most often acted as a street resource for his private detective friend Spenser. Notably, Hawk had a clean shaven head, well before Michael Jordan and other celebrities popularized the look in the 1990s.

Amos n Andy - Kingfish Sells a Lot

From YouTube
Amos n Andy was a comedy very popular on radio and television in the 1920s through 1950s. There is one episode that I remember from television. It was titled, "Kingfish Sells a Lot". I loved it. I laughed so hard at the comedy. I think it was a great comedy and no worse than the comedies of today. That's why I never cared about the controversy. Amos n Andy made me laugh and that's the reason I loved the comedy when it was first introduced to me in my day and time.

Man of Steel Official Trailer 2013 Who is the Foe?

From YouTube
Do you remember when Superman was a television series? I keep asking myself how many foes did Superman actually have. I can only remember one main one in my mind from the comic books and movies and that is Lex Luthor.  You can find a list of other foes that Superman fought at Wikipedia. To be honest, I don't remember any of them when I think of Superman.

Wikipeida
So far, in the preview, I do not see any big foes. All I see is Clark Kent. Although I watched the movie trailer for the Man of Steel in 2013, I have no idea what the movie is really going to be about. What I want to know is who is the big foe in the movie.

The Television Series (George Reeves) and the first Superman Movies (Christopher Reeve)

Adventures of Superman is an American television series based on comic book characters and concepts created in 1938 by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. George Reeves played Clark Kent.

 


From YouTube
Of course, we cannot forget Christopher Reeve when he played as Superman. I can remember Nuclear man as a foe from his movie and the three Kryptonian criminals from Superman 2.

The Royal Family - Della Reese and Redd Foxx

wikipedia
Royal Family was a television series created by Eddie Murphy. It ran for one season on CBS from 1991-1992.   It was a great comedy to me and it was fun seeing Redd Foxx in a comedy series again after Sanford and Son in 1971- 1977. When he came back to television, he was young as ever. I thought the show was going to turn out to be a big hit. The next thing I knew, Redd Foxx had a heart attack and died. So the show could not continue to go as high as I believed it would have. Then in 1994, Della Reese brought us Touched by an Angel. It was a series that ran up until 2003. There were 9 seasons and the series was a big hit for television.

If Martin and Gina Return

If the comedy, Martin, were to return, I see Martin and Gina with at least one child. It would be more interesting if they came back to the show divorced. That way, funny things could happen. I can see Martin trying to teach the child one way and Gina trying to teach the child another way. I can hear Gina saying, "Martin, I'm trying to raise the child right, and you sitting up here teaching him wrong!" Gina would blow (fuss) him out. Martin would make his son forget about homework to play cards, and Gina would make him do his homework. There could be some times on the show where Gina could go out and hang with Pam while Martin spends time with their son. They could take turns. The show could still continue with all of the other characters too. When the boy stays with Martin, he could get in arguments with Bruh - man for stealing his lunch. The boy would hate to visit Mama Payne because he would get bored with no other young children around and dislike her mushy kisses. He could play tricks on Sheneneh. It could go on and on.

The Girl That Should Have Sung at the Grammy's for Whitney

From YouTube
I do not know this girl's name, but she plays on the television show, Glee. I am just learning about this girl and the television show. Anyway, I think this girl should have sung at the Grammy's for Whitney Houston. She sound so natural singing this song.

Tron: Uprising

Today I went to Block Buster to get Tron Legacy. I was all excited when they showed a preview of the new Tron that I thought was coming to the theaters. It is called Tron Uprising and it is animated. I found out from the Internet that it is going to be a television series. It was kind of disappointing to find out. I was hoping for a part 2 to the big screen.
