How about a tiny slice of KITT and the Hoff?

Well, OK, it's not actually the Hoff -- more like a standie of him. It's the latest (and final for now) clip that BRBTV has fished out of the archive. This little glimpse comes from the 2014 Wizard World show in Philadelphia, where you could get your picture taken with the fabulous "Knight Rider" KITT car. Or a reasonable facsimile thereof? We're not sure. But that cardboard cutoff of David Hasselhoff is certainly a reasonable facsimile thereof!

Ole Ponch gets a little frisky in latest quick-clip from the archives

This author knows that Erik Estrada, our beloved Ponch from classic TV's "CHiPs," is quite boisterous with the ladies at public appearances. I had the fun of hanging out with him at the Motor City Comic Con in Novi, Michigan, a little more than a decade ago. When Estrada came to the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention in Hunt Valley, Maryland, in 2017, it was the first time I had seen him since that crazy time in Metro Detroit when he hijacked a staffer's golf cart and wheeled around the convention floor yelling "I've fallen and I can't get up!!!" He was a bit more buttoned down in Maryland, but still likin' the ladies, and we know the ladies have always liked him! I was a little girl quite smitten when "CHiPs" originally aired.

But hey, enough about Ponch -- maybe his former colleague, Larry Wilcox, is the better subject to discuss these days. I saw a video recently where he explained his perspective of his relationship with Estrada with such grace and humility. I was quite impressed. So let's salute Mr. Wilcox, the other guy from "CHiPs," as an honorable man, and hearing his words in that other interview really made me watch my own clip here in a new light. I will say, too, that when I rewatched the series on streaming a couple years ago, I got a whole new appreciation for Jon.

Here, in what I realized is the most recent time I've been at this wonderful event in Maryland (I miss that show -- I really plan to return, one of these years!), Mr. Wilcox answers my question about what he's been doing in more recent years ...

Thanks to Josh and the Ewing Barbecue Podcast for this great interview

I got to wear my "Dallas" T-shirt -- hey, that alone was worth the time! I had that thing tucked away in a drawer for years after snagging it at a collectibles show in Metro Detroit ... Anyhow, wow, what a nice talk I had with Josh Eilberg of the Ewing Barbecue Podcast. He and his fellow podcasters do great things in the fan community for our beloved classic TV show "Dallas." They discuss the episodes of the original series, one at a time, and Josh covers events like the recent reunion at Southfork. Josh was also kind enough to loan some wonderful photos of "Dallas" cast members to my recent (final!) update to the print edition of "Destination: Dallas." 

Here we talk about what went into the book, where the idea for these crazy BRBTV books even came from, and different aspects of this TV series that we love ...

Another one from the vault: A quick look at Chewbacca, Peter Mayhew, at Baltimore Comic Con

Awwww, we love seeing our friend Ulysses Campbell again, and we love seeing the floor at the Baltimore Comic Con again, even if it is only virtually. Here's another clip from times  past, freshly posted on the BRBTV YouTube channel ...

Six Feet Under Hollywood: Victor Buono - King Tut

A Shakespearean background that served him well, self-deprecating comedy albums, salty poetry, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, and a dad convicted of bird-smuggling (there's a joke in there somewhere) ... all of that marks the life of Victor Buono, that landmark villain of 1966 "Batman" and even "The Man from Atlantis" years later. Brian explores the actor's life as he shows you were Buono's body was laid to rest:

Six Feet Under Hollywood: Victor Buono - King Tut:   "Being on Batman allowed me to do something we actors are taught never to do: overact." ...

Another update to the beautiful "Dynasty" collection of this ardent fan

BRBTV has had the privilege to profile on this blog multiple collectors who buy up wardrobe items from our beloved (original) "Dynasty" TV series. One of those collectors has just let us know of some updates in his amazing collection. He's at NolanMillerCollector.com, and you can see some of his collection in the July 24, 2015, September 23, 2016 and March 27, 2018 posts of this blog (so yeah, it's been a while since we've checked in with him!).

For one thing, he says, "Since we last spoke I reunited the Alexis lily pond catfight hat to the dress! I now have the full outfit." Awesome. He has also added some items from outside the "Dynasty" realm.

Here's one glimpse of a couple new additions to his collection, the "nude" beaded gown worn by Linda ("Krystle") Evans and the blue number adorning Catherine ("Amanda") Oxenberg (and Karen Cellini, actually) in the show's opening credits:

Here are a few more additions:

Just incredible. Click on over to NolanMillerCollector.com for a lot more photos of the collection itself and a detail page for each piece. And thanks so much, [name redacted for privacy], for sharing with us!!!! LOL.

Terrific TV Toys: A couple more Batmobiles by Hot Wheels, 2014-2021

Last month's installment of Terrific non-TV Toys showed you some great Bat-vehicles (not all Batmobiles) from various movie (and video) franchises. For this month's ep of Terrific TV Toys, let's return to TV land -- specifically the 1966 "Batman" series as well as the 1990s "Batman: The Animated Series." We've got the straight-up Batmobile that Adam West so happily drove, as well as a golden version of the wheels in "B:TAS."

See what else is on the Terrific TV Toys playlist.

Another video out of the archives: Dirk Benedict at Awesome Con in D.C.

Last week, BRBTV dropped a recently unearthed video clip of our pal Brian wearing his Gilligan cosplay while meeting Dawn ("Mary Ann") Wells of "Gilligan's Island" at the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention in 2017. This week, we travel back in time a little further. This almost-forgotten clip was in the BRBTV archives from 2014, and it's a visit to the signing table of Dirk Benedict of "The A-Team." Here he autographs a copy of his book for Brian and talks a little about it.

We're not done yet! Look for more classic clips in the coming weeks.
