(starts at 10:54 in)
Before Oliver Platt was in the business of saving lives on Chicago Med, he was the business of taking them on The Equalizer. How sexy handsome was the 27 year old in that 1987 episode?

ABC loves their comedies so much, they want more episodes |

ABC’s Wednesday night comedies The Middle, The Goldbergs and Black-ish and Tuesday night’s Fresh Off the Boat are doing so well for them, that they ordered 2 more episodes of each this season bringing their totals to 24. But wait what about Modern Family, according to Deadline they are working on making that happen.
I have no complaints about this decision because I love all of those shows. I just wish that ABC could find some room on their Wednesday night lineup to include FOTB, but I guess they need to spread the cheer to another night. And we all need to laugh as many nights as possible these days.

Mariah Carey working hard…from bed |

Mariah Carey is such a Diva, if she doesn’t want to get out of bed to go to work, she doesn’t have to. The singer shared a photo of herself wearing just a throw and said, “Working from bed… sometimes you have to make the voice-over studio come to YOU. 😂#reallife” I don’t know whose real life that is because I’ve never been able to work from under the sheets. Even when I had 103 temperature and my job wouldn’t take that as an excuse.
Back to Mimi, at least she has a full face on just for the crew to record her voice for someone. More proof she is the Dive we all wish we could be.

Chicago Med is just what the doctor ordered! |

If you are like me and you have been wanting a medical drama that has the heart of St Elsewhere, ER and Chicago Hope, then Chicago Med is for us. The NBC drama from Dick Wolf debuts on 9p and I haven’t loved a show like this since ER went off the air. It is not like ER, but it has that feel of a real hospital with real doctors dealing with real patients. It is not a soap opera and it doesn’t go over the top with medical disasters.
Having said that, tonight’s episode starts out with a subway that goes off the track injuring several people and some are critical. Lucky for the passengers, Dr. Connor Rhodes (Colin Donnell), who is the new Head of Trauma at Chicago Med, is on board. He is helping the wounded until help arrives. Once the other medics are there, it is off to the hospital and save as many patients as they can.
Dr. Will Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss) and Dr. Natalie Manning (Torrey DeVitto) will try to save the life of a surrogate, who has suffered a major brain injury in the accident, but the baby is OK and the fetus’ parents have to decide what to do. While they are working her, Dr. Ethan Choi (Brian Tee) and intern Dr. Sarah Reese (Rachel DiPillo) work on another victim from the crash, a young girl who suddenly suffers cardiac arrest in their care.
It is hospital and they have more patients besides the ones in the crash, there is a man who has Cystic Fibrosis and he doesn’t want to be incubated again when he comes in with pneumonia. Dr. Daniel Charles (Oliver Platt) and Dr. Will Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss) will do everything they can to convince him otherwise. Will these patients survive?
You just have to tune into to find out. That and to watch a medical drama that is like the great shows in the genre from the ’80s and ’90s. Plus, it is a perfect companion with Chicago Fire. What more do you need on your Tuesday nights?

Imagine Burt Reynolds as James Bond or Hans Solo |
| November 17th, 2015 under 70s, Burt Reynolds. [ Comments: 1 ]

Burt Reynolds has an autobiography out called But Enough About Me and in it he details some of the infamous roles he turned down. Can you imagine ’70s biggest sex symbol as Bond, James Bond? Actually, I could, but he couldn’t and he told Good Morning America’s Lara Spencer why he turned it down. He said, “I said, ‘An American can’t play James Bond. It has to be an Englishman. Bond, James Bond. You know, I can’t do it.’” Other roles he said he couldn’t do are Star Wars’ Han Solo and Terms of Endearment’s Garrett Breedlove which eventually went to Jack Nicholson.
Not only did he turn down movies, he also turned down his one true love, Sally Field. When Spencer asked him if he thinks maybe they could get together now, he said “No. No. She’s too smart for that.” She is single, so maybe he can woe her during a moment of weakness. And maybe we can get one more Smokey and the Bandit movie out of it? It’s a win/win!
