What OLD series/movies are you watching? *Spoilers welcome!*

Sadly there was very little of Jessica Alba.

I can fix that...

"Extras" starring Ricky Gervais. A 2005 comedy, may be seen on BritBox and Peacock. Only 13 episodes.

Gervais' character, Andy Millman, is a struggling actor trying to make it big. Actually, he's not really an actor no matter how much he tries to fool himself (and everyone else.) Rather, he is an extra, a spear carrier, a background figure that doesn't have any lines.

Each week there is a guest star that Gervais tries to ingratiate himself with in order to get a line, just one line of dialogue. These efforts go up in flames with plenty of laughs. The first episode had Ben Stiller. Kate Winslet, Samuel L. Jackson, and Patrick Stewart are also celebrities that show up with their own episode.

Andy hangs out with Maggie Jacobs (Ashley Jensen) a not very bright actress extra in the same situation as Andy. Her aspirations are to hook up with the star of the show. These are spectacular (and hilarious) failures.

Andy has a talent agent (played by Stephen Merchant) that doesn't lift a finger to help him.

An interesting look behind the scenes of TV production with many laugh out loud moments. 8.3 out of 10 on IMDB.com.

Indeed, it is Daniel J. Travanti.

This group is too good at this game.

He played a shock-jock radio talk show host in a 1965 episode of Perry Mason.
I may have mentioned before, but Twilight Zone and Tales of Wells Fargo are the kings of guest stars before they were stars. I even saw Jack Nicholson in an episode of the latter.
 
I was watching "Petticoat Junction" this morning. It was one of the later episodes, after Bea Benaderet had died, and they had That Lady M.D., Who's as Pretty as Can Be."

Anyway, Uncle Joe announced his retirement. Everybody just fell out laughing whenever he announced it, and even the Hooterville dog keeled over, at the news.

I don't know why, but for some reason I found the idea of Uncle Joe, who spent his whole life trying to dodge work and responsibility, announcing his retirement, a bit extra amusing this morning!

Great! I enjoyed the earlier ones made many years ago.

Flame Trees of Thika is a great series and well worth watching if you can find it.
