 HICKORY, N.C. — James Best, whose prolific career included 83 movies and 600 TV shows but is best remembered for his role as Rosco P. Coltrane, the bumbling sheriff of Hazzard, died in a hospice here April 6 after a brief illness. He was 88.MSTies will recall his role as the heroic Thorne Sherman in the movie in episode 407- THE KILLER SHREWS. The Charlotte Observer has an obit. Thanks to Paul, Kathleen, Dylan, Tim and Forrest for the headses ups. J. Elvis was invited to join Allie Goertz and Julia Prescott on the Everything’s Coming Up Podcast podcast, a funny and very obsessive (two qualities I admire) podcast devoted to “The Simpsons.” No, they didn’t think he was the other Josh Weinstein, they’re also MST3K fans. The three discuss the “Flaming Moe’s” episode.
Alert reader Ken is concise:
My nomination: “ENNNNNNNND!!!!!” Yours? Kate Davis of the Night of the Living Dead podcast interviews Joel.
Also, Joel is headed for Minneapolis on the Wednesday, April 15th, for a “viewing party” at the Parkway Theater. The 7 p.m. show is sold out but there are still tickets for the 9:15 p.m. show. You can also vote on which ep they will watch: Right now MANOS is winning! Yikes! |
