Here you have some of the major American talk shows, and more specifically, the hosts and hostesses of those shows. Many of them worked with something else originally before embarking on their careers as talk show hosts. Such as in the fields of acting, journalism, law, literature, macadamia farming, psychology, stand-up comedy, and television production. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/your-20th-century-list/ Wed, 01 Mar 2023 08:11:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/your-20th-century-list/ If we were to pick people born during the 20th century - not relatives, but (other) public figures - that we most follow, respect, adore, look up to etc, it would most certainly, more than anything else, reflect who we ourselves are as people. Our choices would reflect our interests in life, our values, our likings, our origin. And no one list would look the same, but they would all differ depending on the aforementioned differentials. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/jigidi/ Sun, 26 Feb 2023 08:11:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/jigidi/ If you are one of those people who enjoy making jigsaw puzzles, then here is one word for you: Jigidi.

Sounds a bit crazy, yeah? But there are actually people who do just that - walk all the streets of their hometown. Hometown because it is of interest, and it takes a lot of time so you’d better live there too! Here is an article about a man, Matt Green, who walked all the streets of his hometown, New York City. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/smallville/ Wed, 22 Jun 2022 04:11:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/smallville/ Tom Welling as Clark Kent/Kal-El The American television series Smallville, which is based on the DC Comics character Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, has delighted a new generation of audience in the streaming services. And the older generations too of course! The series premiered in October, 2001, and the finale of its tenth and final season was seen in the United States in May, 2011. So, it’s been a while, but the story itself never gets old. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/the-five-timers-club/ Mon, 06 Jun 2022 04:11:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/the-five-timers-club/ Those of you who watch regularly the Saturday Night Live are very familiar with this concept: the Five-Timers Club. An exclusive club for celebrity guest hosts that have hosted the show at least five times. A fun addition to great entertainment that we get to see on Saturdays - or any other day of the week if you so please. The Five-Timers Club has been around since the December 8, 1990 episode. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/miss-world/ Sat, 11 Dec 2021 08:11:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/miss-world/ Ksenia Sukhinova, Miss World 2008 Miss World pageant is the oldest of the Big Four international beauty pageants, created by Eric Morley in 1951.

The series tells about a man convicted for the murder of his sister, a crime that he did not commit. Not a kid-friendly series, that’s for sure. But certainly one worthy of watching. The cast is mainly Mexican, but also from Argentina, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Spain and Venezuela. Here below you see the main cast with their role names, and where the actors and actresses originate from. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/the-fresh-prince-of-bel-air/ Mon, 12 Jul 2021 08:11:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/the-fresh-prince-of-bel-air/ From up left to right: Janet Hubert, Will Smith, Joseph Marcell, Alfonso Ribeiro, Karyn Parsons, James Avery and Tatyana Ali Time for another nostalgic view of another great television show. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The title of the series is intricately tied with the career of Will Smith. He had achieved modest fame as a rapper under the name The Fresh Prince in the late 1980’s. And since there already was a comedy series Prince of Bel Air (first aired on ABC in 1986), NBC coined the title for Will Smith’s television series The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/one-flew-over-the-cuckoos-nest/ Tue, 22 Jun 2021 08:11:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/one-flew-over-the-cuckoos-nest/ One of the most memorable movies of the last century. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, directed by Miloš Forman. Many of us have seen it at least once, some quite a few times. Some of us read the book by Ken Kesey before seeing the movie, and noticed how the main character switched from the Chief to the white guy. But nevertheless the film was every bit as good, if not better. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/12-angry-men/ Fri, 12 Mar 2021 00:12:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/12-angry-men/ From left to right E.G.Marshall, John Fiedler, Henry Fonda, Ed Begley and Robert Webber The courtroom drama film directed by Sidney Lumet, 12 Angry Men, released in April 1957, is considered by many to be one of the best movies of the 20th century. This brilliant film has certainly earned a spot in the bucket list of any movie enthusiast. There have been remakes of the film, but the original seems in this case to be the best. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/the-office/ Sat, 18 Jul 2020 17:16:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/the-office/ How many of you have seen all the 201 episodes i.e. nine seasons of the American verson of The Office? This NBC mockumentary sitcom was developed for the American audience from the original British series with the same name - which also is full of that same crazy humor. Since then the franchise has been remade in many other countries as well. Anyways, if you haven’t seen it, there are luckily many avenues to do that. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/star-trek-the-original-series/ Thu, 02 Jul 2020 08:11:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/star-trek-the-original-series/ As popular as Star Trek: The Original Series was (and has always been), one wonders how come it only aired for three seasons. The fans protested of course, but NBC cancelled the show in February 1969 after just 79 episodes. The cancellation has been named one of the biggest TV blunders. Still, we do get to enjoy the three seasons of the Original Series, and all the other subsequent Star Trek series. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/la-casa-de-papel/ Thu, 14 May 2020 12:33:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/la-casa-de-papel/ One of the most popular current television series produced in Spain must be the heist crime drama series Money Heist created by Álex Pina. A mastermind known as “The Professor” recruits a group of eight people who are each given a code names with a city. The group is to rob the Royal Mint of Spain, and somehow escape without anyone of them getting hurt or seized. Netflix acquired global streaming rights in late 2017. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/tarzan/ Mon, 27 Apr 2020 08:11:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/tarzan/ Johnny Weismuller as Tarzan in 1932 Who of us hasn’t heard of Tarzan, the fictional character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The films and television series based on his 1914 book Tarzan of the Apes number quite a few. The most memorable actor portraying Tarzan is for many of us Johnny Weismuller, whereas the latest one is the Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård in The Legend of Tarzan from 2016. Here below we have a list of all the actors that have portrayed this character throughout the years, both in films and in television series. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/vikings/ Sat, 07 Mar 2020 13:33:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/vikings/ If you have yet to see the multinational drama television series Vikings, created and written by Michael Hirst for the History channel, I recommend that you do! Filmed in Ireland, it premiered in Canada in 2013. The sixth and the last season came out in December 2019. There is also a sequel series titled Vikings: Valhalla. Vikings is a violent series, depicting times when there were no firearms yet, but only anything sharp to maim or kill your enemy with - mostly kill. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/frazier/ Sat, 25 Jan 2020 08:11:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/frazier/ One of the most popular American sitcoms must be Frasier, the spin-off of Cheers. It premiered in the United States in September 1993. The cast of Frasier was not big, but all the more talented when it comes to producing quick-witted, brilliant comedy. Critically acclaimed, the show itself and the cast won 37 Primetime Emmy Awards. Frasier continued the story of psychiatrist Frasier Crane (from Cheers), returning to his hometown of Seattle where he started building a new life as a radio advice show host while reconnecting with his father Martin and brother Niles, and making new friends. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/james-bond-comments/ Sun, 22 Sep 2019 08:11:38 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/james-bond-comments/ Ashely Basbas - Nov 5, 2020Can I recently say thats a relief to locate someone who in fact knows what theyre preaching about on-line. You actually realize how to bring a challenge to light making it critical. More people should check out this and see why side of the story. I cant believe youre no more well-known simply because you definitely possess the gift. Your style is so unique compared to other folks I have read stuff from. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/james-bond/ Sun, 22 Sep 2019 08:11:38 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/james-bond/ The legendary character James Bond a.k.a. 007, created by Ian Fleming is well-known to most of us, movie fan or not. Here follows a short but informative list on all the six actors that have so far played the role of James Bond. In brackets the age they reached on their birthday the year of release (so naturally slightly younger during the filming of the movie). Also given the leading actress of each film. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/finnish-actors-2/ Thu, 01 Aug 2019 09:47:07 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/finnish-actors-2/ Peter Franzén Admittedly, I’m partial. Born and bred in Helsinki, my first list of actors and actresses are those born in Finland or are active in the Finnish film industry. Later on there will be others. The names below may be unknown to most of you, except perhaps a few at the end of the list. But like said, there will be others. The American actors, born in the U.S. or elsewhere, will be divided into neat, decade-long packages. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/fear-the-walking-dead/ Thu, 09 May 2019 08:11:35 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/fear-the-walking-dead/ Fans of the horror genre welcomed the post-apocalyptic AMC series Fear The Walking Dead back in 2015, the spin-off series of The Walking Dead. The series depicts the period slightly prior to when all started going wrong, upto the times when everything most anywhere was wrong. So if you like The Walking Dead, you’ll most probably like Fear the Walking Dead as well. With different characters, but with more or less the same predicaments. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/the-walking-dead/ Mon, 06 May 2019 13:33:26 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/the-walking-dead/ AMC’s hugely popular series The Walking Dead is now into its 9th season, and doesn’t really show any signs of fading interest among its viewers. Popular around the globe, it certainly deserves its own article here in Journeys of Life. Not for the faint-hearted as we all know. The graphic and often downright dismal nature of the series is not for everyone. Nevertheless, we present here the main cast for all the seasons - chronological à la Journeys of Life - along with some trailers. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/stand-by-me/ Fri, 26 Apr 2019 09:45:31 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/stand-by-me/ [caption id=“attachment_8756” align=“alignright” width=“337”]Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Jerry O’Connell and Corey Feldman in Stand by Me (1986)[/caption] Many of us remember with fondness the movie with the same title as that fantastic piece of music, Stand by Me (released in April, 1961). The film premiered in 1986, and kind of gave that song to a whole new generation of music lovers! The movie is a coming of age story for four teenage boys, played by Wil Wheaton (as Gordie), River Phoenix (Chris), Jerry O’Connell (Vern) and Corey Feldman (Teddy). https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/little-house-on-the-prairie/ Tue, 16 Apr 2019 07:11:51 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/little-house-on-the-prairie/ [caption id=“attachment_9268” align=“alignright” width=“266”]Michael Landon in 1974[/caption] Little House on the Prairie.

She in Los Angeles, California, he in Mount Airy, North Carolina. We all know of her tragic death - however that took place - in Los Angeles in 1962. She had turned 36 that summer. Griffith died 50 summers later at the age of 86, in Manteo, North Carolina. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/how-to-get-away-with-m/ Fri, 25 Jan 2019 07:55:09 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/how-to-get-away-with-m/ How many of you are following ABC’s prized television series How to Get Away with Murder? And how many of you have been left with the feeling of wanting for more the second you realize the episode you’re just been watching is ending, what with all those pretty awesome cliffhangers?

As actors, directors, authors, musicians, politicians, what have you. It is intriguing to look for resemblances between members of the same family - their mannerisms, voices, gaits, and of course their looks. And between members of the same gender, it can be even more intriguing. So let’s go through some well-known sets of brothers here, from the year 1441 onward! https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/masters-of-horror/ Wed, 31 Oct 2018 09:11:23 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/masters-of-horror/ It is Halloween today folks so this topic is hot!
