Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

She's been clearly irreplaceable since her retirement, and her contribution to journalism is immeasurable. She had a good life.
Journalism is almost gutless without her. Today's journalist are so concerned with repeat interviews for their 24/7 cable shows that they are scared to offend anyone.

Her interview with trump should have been how everyone treated his bs.
Same with this interview with the Kardashians. Here she asks the most obvious question about these people, yet she was the only one outside of late night comedy who called them on their fake importance. Cable news ended real journalism in news shows. It's doubtful that the likes of Cronkite. Walters and the many others who once gave us real news can ever be replaced.

I really miss her when I watch some of these old clips.

Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”

I think my all time favorite CSNY tune is "Wooden Ships" but Stills shares lead vocals with Crosby. The words are even more apropos today.

I think this was the show.

I got to see them in Oakland in 77. Probably the best concert I'd ever been to....tossup between it and the Allman Brothers Band in Johnson City, TN back in 71 (Allman Brothers were second billed to Goose Creek Symphony).

Original Wednesday Addams Lisa Loring Taken Off Life Support, Dies at 64

Image

Lisa Loring, the original Wednesday Addams who played the spooky scion in the 1960s sitcom The Addams Family, has died at the age of 64....

Close friend Laurie Jacobson announced the news Sunday night via Facebook, and described how Loring “suffered a massive stroke brought on by smoking and high blood pressure” four days ago. She was on life support for three days until her family “made the difficult decision to remove it and she passed last night.”

“She is embedded in the tapestry that is pop culture and in our hearts always as Wednesday Addams,” Jacobson wrote....

Loring’s death comes on the heels of a resurgence in popularity for the young Addams, thanks to Jenna Ortega’s portrayal in the hit Netflix series....
Shame that she couldn't have enjoyed the renewed attention for a few years.
Despite a number of variations over the years—including the iconic ’90s films starring Christina Ricci as Wednesday—Loring was the first to play the character in the TV adaptation of Charles Addams’ New Yorker cartoons. The show ran for two seasons between 1964-1966.
I didn't know that there was a real Addams.

Wow, lotta staying power for a 2 year show. The higher rated The Munsters lasted the same 2 years.
... John Astin, who played patriarch Gomez Addams, is now the only surviving cast member from the original series....
:( He's 92. Pugsley Addams (Ken Weatherwax) died at 59 in 2014, heart attack. RIP all.

Another Wednesday:

Here's the full two seasons of Adult Wednesday Addams, in chronological order, and more:

They're each 2-4 minutes long. So, easy to watch.

Turns out that Wednesday was shut down over supposed copyright infringement, which is somehow fitting. But, boo hiss.

What Happened to Adult Wednesday Addams?

Charles Addams joined the layout department of True Detective magazine in 1933, where he retouched photos of corpses to remove the blood for appearance alongside magazine stories. Addams complained: "A lot of those corpses were more interesting the way they were." ...

Personal life

... Addams married second wife Barbara Barb (Estelle B. Barb) in 1954. A practicing lawyer, she "combined Morticia-like looks with diabolical legal scheming," by which she wound up controlling The Addams Family television and film franchises and persuaded her husband to give away other legal rights. At one point, she got her husband to take out a US $100,000 insurance policy. Addams consulted a lawyer on the sly, who later humorously wrote: "I told him the last time I had word of such a move was in a picture called Double Indemnity starring Barbara Stanwyck, which I called to his attention." In the movie, Stanwyck's character plotted her husband's murder. The couple divorced in 1956.

Addams was "sociable and debonair". A biographer described him as being "a well-dressed, courtly man with silvery back-combed hair and a gentle manner, he bore no resemblance to a fiend". Figuratively a "ladykiller", Addams accompanied women such as Greta Garbo, Joan Fontaine, and Jacqueline Kennedy on social occasions. For about a year after the death of Nelson Rockefeller, Addams dated Megan Marshack, the aide who was with the former US vice president when he died.

Addams married his third and final wife Marilyn Matthews Miller, best known as "Tee" (1926–2002), in a pet cemetery. The Addamses moved to Sagaponack, New York in 1985, where they named their estate "The Swamp".

Death

... In accordance with Addams's wishes, he was cremated, and his ashes were interred in the pet cemetery of "The Swamp" estate.

Looks like NBC did post a 15 minute short, but that's it as far as I can find.
