More Podcast Thoughts.

Last week, I listened to the Carson Podcast.  The guest was Marcia Carsey.  Best known as the co-creator of the Cosby Show, and Roseanne.  I thought it would be interesting to hear what she had to say about those shows.  They spent the entire time talking about when she worked for Johnny Carson
as a "shlepper" on the "Tonight" show in New York.
She had nothing interesting.to say about working on the Tonight Show.
And basically said that she had nothing to say anything that was interesting about her time on the
Tonight show.  She met Carson maybe once after working there about two years.
So why have her on?
Her husband was John Carsey, someone who worked on the Tonight Show going all the way back to the Steve Allen days.  I remember hearing about him from the Jack Paar days.
Knowing that John and Marcia Carsey were married immediately gave her the funniest name in show business.  Chicken Little?  Henny Penny?
Was he still alive?
A quick check at Wikipedia revealed that he died in 2002.
His name came up plenty.
But nothing about his current  status
And her business partner during the Cosby, Roseanne days, was Tom Werner.
The most unpleasant, humorless man who ever ran a sitcom.
And is now part-owner of the Boston Red Sox.
What happened there?
So I'm taking the Carson Podcast off of my top ten list.
And next time I'm going  to offer up another 5 Podcasts worthy of your time.

My books, "Show Runner" and "Show Runner 2" can be found at the Amazon Kindle Store,

along with newer ones, "The Man Is Dead", and "Report Cards".

They are all compilations of blog entries have since been removed from the blog.

So this is the only way you can find them.,

You can search by typing in my name, Cindy Williams, Laverne and Shirley, The Odd Couple, or Happy Days.

Check them out.

You don't need a Kindle machine to download them.

Just get the free app from Kindle, and they can be downloaded to an IPhone, IPad, or Blackberry.

The paperbacks, "Mark Rothman's Essays" and my new novel, "I'm Not Garbo" are not e-books.

But they are available for people without Kindle.

I have many readings and signings lined up for those, and the thing about Kindle is you can't sign one.

If you'd like one of the paperbacks, personally autographed, contact me at macchus999@comcast.net

And now, there's my reading of my screenplay of my unmade "Laverne and Shirley" movie on "YouTube".
