P-90:

Coming out of Frank into Joe is one of those perfect transitions, I've learned this is one of the trickier, finer points of scheduling for this station-- every show is so idiosyncratic, but some shows "follow" other shows very well. And this in the context of "time of day" considerations, etc...
Stationmaster Ken is like a kid with the best electric train set ever, and he's getting better at playing with it all the time.

@P-90 oh, i am an old SF/F hand and "Mistress" is my fave Heinlein! in a music-ish vein, i like GRRM's "Armageddon Rag" (about a 60s band) though it's not to everyone's taste.

P-90:

"You're a Big Boy Now" is one of those quintessential mid-late '60s semi-experimental features by a young, new director trying to do something "relevant", something that relates to the experiences of his like, generation, man.

It so happens I finally caught up with Altman's "Nashville" this past weekend. (Had seen it only once, on broadcast TV in the 70s.) It seems some people think Porter Wagoner was one of the bases for the Haven Hamilton character. He has the same hair, but otherwise, the Gibson character wasn't nearly weird enough to be Porter.
