Aloha!
Thank YOU for Visiting Today :)
"The more your find out about the world,
the more opportunities
there are
to laugh at it."
Bill Nye

"Success is getting what you want;
Happiness
is wanting what you get."
Ingrid Bergman
"For something to catch on
you need to be able
to explain it in a sentence."
Al Masini
creator of hit television shows:
'Star Search'
'Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous'
'Entertainment Tonight'
'Sold Gold'
32 miniseries' & Specials
including: 'A Woman Called Golda'
(About Golda Meir, staring Ingrid Bergman
- won 3 Emmy Awards)
“All of my ideas come from studying what’s not on the air,”
Mr. Masini told The New York Times in 1986.
“Most people think the simplest way to sell a show is to say it’s like another show.
If ‘Cosby’ is a hit, soon you get 10 ‘Cosby’ imitations.
My attitude has always been to look for what’s missing. . .
. . . then I try to fill the need.”
In 1980, when “Solid Gold”
was about to begin its long run,
he flew from his New York office to Los Angeles so he
could
personally choreograph the dance numbers.
“Sure, we had a choreographer,” he later told The Times,
“but I knew what I wanted.
I can’t be happy unless I have complete control.”
Mr. Masini came to Hawaii to produce
the 1998 "Miss Universe Pageant"
fell in love with our community
and stayed on.
He is credited as convincing the producers
of the television series'
"Baywatch" and "Pacific Blue" to film here.

ANYTHING BUT REALITY!!!! Isn't that why we watch TV--to escape REALITY for a while?
ReplyDeleteSuper batch of Pics today--I'd like to met that Hard Worker--he just seems so affable!!

These are all fantastic quotes! I am feeling inspired just reading them. Altho the only opportunity I am looking for today is the chance to take a nap.
ReplyDeleteI remember solid gold. Although I have to admit, I think I watched it mostly for the dancers.
ReplyDeleteI too find that not watching the news helps me to keep up.
ReplyDeletesome wonderful quotes today Cloudia! Thanks so much for the inspiration:)
ReplyDeleteEven the graffiti is pretty! I love pictures that capture a sense of movement and that first with the palms blowing in the wind does that. It's a still but you can still see movement. So neat.
ReplyDeleteI love the quote that happiness is wanting what you get!! Much happiness to you today, Cloudia.

ReplyDeleteI can honestly say I've only ever watched 3 minutes of the original Survivor show ... that was more than enough for me .. I've got plenty of reality in my life without watching it on TV
ReplyDeleteI love the post as always. I'm having trouble wanting what I get lately. Still trying.
