Sorry the site’s been so quiet this week. Things have been busy. (Spring always is).
I wanted to post these couple of things, though. First, do you miss the NBC Thursday night line-up from 1985? Were you not even alive and are curious to see what TV was like back in the rad 80’s? Then join this Facebook group! They’re looking to convince NBC to run their Thursday night line-up from the 1985 television season, which was pretty freakin’ phenomenal: The Cosby Show followed by Family Ties followed by Cheers, then Night Court and finally Hill Street Blues. Every show a hit and every show worthy of its popularity.
I honestly doubt NBC would ever do anything like this, but you never know what can happen.
Second, Jorgen Lund sent me a link to a couple of YouTube videos he posted of The Frighteners Wrap Party Video. I know I’ve never seen this before and it’s not on the DVD. Lots of behind the scenes stuff. Watch below:
Last Friday, Michael J. Fox received an honorary doctorate degree of Medicine from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. At the ceremony in New York, Fox had this to say:
“I’m grateful to the Board of Research and to the Karolinska Institute for this tremendous honor,” Fox said. “It is especially meaningful because our Foundation and the Karolinska Institute share a belief in the power of scientific endeavor to create a future that is better for everyone, and a commitment to act strategically — even unconventionally — to help bring that future closer.”

STOCKHOLM — Sweden’s Karolinska institute says it will give an honorary degree of medicine to Canadian-American actor Michael J. Fox for his work to raise funds and awareness for Parkinson’s disease.
The institute, which awards the annual Nobel Prize in medicine, says the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research has since 2000 given more than $175 million to research aimed at developing drugs against the disease.
Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1991. The disease is a progressive neurological condition that impairs the motor skills.
Karolinska says Fox will receive the doctorate in a ceremony in New York on Friday.
Back to the Future Stands Test of Time…by Andre Salles
“Back to the Future” has somehow stood the test of time. Don’t believe me? On Saturday, I could have gotten an “amen” from hundreds upon hundreds of people who came out to Hollywood Palms in Naperville to see the movie on the big screen and meet four of its stars in person.
Canadian/American actor Michael J. Fox appeared in a CTV Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games special commercial before the Team Canada Hockey Game versus Norway on February 16.
SchockTillYouDrop.com has interviewed Russell Mulcahey recently. In his discussion he mentions that he has wrapped shooting of the “Teen Wolf” pilot for the MTV series based on the MJF 1985 feature film.
A humorous article comparing and contrasting Teen Wolf to the upcoming Wolf Man remake.
Excerpt:
Wolf sidekick: TW has shades-sporting sidekick Stiles, who distributes Teen Wolf tees and emcees games like “eat Jell-O out of this girl’s shirt.” WM has no sidekick and never gets to eat Jell-O.
People are still speculating about who will bear the Olympic torch and MJF’s name is popping up all over the place. Here are a couple more articles about the subject:
