In this week's episode, Frank is reminded of a movie called Punchline from 1988 that has a substantial amount of stand-up comedy, but wasn't that funny overall.  Punchline  was soon forgotten as a film, which is perplexing to this day given who stars in it (think Forrest Gump primarily) and that it is still well-liked as a lighter drama.

His favorite actress, Priscilla Barnes, was not in Punchline but she was in the classic CBS detective show Cannon in 1976.  She only appears in the first scene with another young actor known for Airplane!, and then William Conrad does his thing to solve the crime.  Frank summarizes the episode called "Bloodlines".  Hmmm...Punchline to Bloodlines!

Finally he tells a recent story where he posted on a Facebook tribute page for another classic TV show.  After a fan posed a simple light-hearted question about the stars of one show guesting on this show, Frank's comment was removed quickly.  But they still thanked him for posting this first time.  Frank points this out as another social media issue and one that may not be helpful for building podcasts, at least with no  explanation given.

Punchline is available on DVD and Blu-Ray, Amazon Prime, and Pluto TV.
Cannon is available on DVD and had recent availability on MeTV.
