Let's Talk Ten
Dan Fisher and his guests come up with Top Ten lists relating to pop culture --Movies/TV/Music/Etc. -- and then they compare notes.
"Winning" arguments over what's the "best" is never the point. It's just people talking about the stuff they love and why they love it. Sometimes the conversation is silly, sometimes it's deeply personal -- as long as it's entertaining, it goes where it goes.
Each "Let's Talk Ten" will cover a fresh topic (horror movies, debut albums, TV kids' shows) with a different guest. There are no scripts and lists are not shared beforehand.
Episodes will drop every two weeks, on Mondays.
Let's Talk Ten
EP. #38 - NORMAN LEAR'S TV KINGDOM with Tripp Whetsell
Norman Lear died just a year ago, at age 101, but his legacy of shows – All in the Family, Maude, Sanford and Son, Good Times, Mary Hartman Marty Hartman, One Day at a Time, The Jeffersons – will endure for as long as reruns exist, and viewers wish to laugh, while thinking at the same time.
Entertainment journalist, adjunct professor of media studies, and bestselling author TRIPP WHETSELL visits the show to talk with Dan about his just-released “NORMAN LEAR: HIS LIFE AND TIMES”, as well as the unforgettable television that Lear co-created and produced.
Lots and lots of behind-the-scenes stories, fond recollections of favorite scenes, and -- as always -- plenty of amazing clips. In this episode, the good times just cannot be stifled.
