Song of the Day: 'Good Morning Starshine' by Beverly D'Angelo

Although I didn't know Ellen Griswold sang this classic song in the film adaptation of "Hair," I'm not surprised Beverly D'Angelo -- who was robbed of an Oscar for her portrayal of Patsy Cline in "Coal Miner's Daughter" (1980) -- does it justice. (I grew up with the popular version by Oliver.) The reason this became my song of the day is because Damian and I have been watching all seven seasons of the most underrated sitcom of all time -- "Wings" -- on Hulu and it came to my attention that nearly two-dozen episodes were missing. When we began to dig around -- where there's a will there's a way when it comes to digitalized media -- we discovered most of them were uploaded on YouTube (and another sketchier site). And as we watched them, we began to realize it must have been the use of music that Hulu (and Netflix before it) didn't want to shell out the money for, so omitted them from the binge-party. Problem is, quite a few of the episodes -- with 22 missing, that's nearly an entire season -- included pivotal moments in the series, so I'm really glad we made the effort. Part of the fun of the missing episodes is trying to figure out what licensing issue caused it to be cut -- and hilariously there must have been four or five that included the same two songs, which had us wondering if the producers sprang for the "Moon River"/"Isn't It Romantic?" fun pack when the show was on the air. Other times the music was so incidental it was hard to believe the show had to pay for it at all.

In the episode "Life Could Be a Dream," a time capsule the gang buried in 1973 is discovered, leading to a scene with Joe (swoonworthy Tim Daly in Greg Brady mode) briefly singing ... you guessed it, "Good Morning Starshine."

Tim Daly Breaks Both His Legs in Sundance Ski Accident

Hot then ...

The "Diner" and "Wings" hunk will be in bed recuperating for the next month or two so that he can return to filming "Madam Secretary" ASAP. If they need someone to give him a sponge bath or anything, I'm available. I know that misery loves company ...

and now.

Back to the '90s

Love this No. 7 train that's been given a Subway Series makeover to look like Monk's Cafe Restaurant, from the most acclaimed sitcom of the 1990s, "Seinfeld." Thanks to Netflix, I've actually been thinking a lot about classic '90s television lately. "Roseanne" will always be my favorite, but I've come to realize that when it comes to the NBC classics -- "Cheers," "Frasier," "Friends" and "Seinfeld" -- I actually like "Wings" better than all of them. 

"Wings" never got its due at the time -- much like "The Bob Newhart Show" lived in the shadows of "Mary Tyler Moore" and others -- but as I rewatch it now, the writing is consistently smart, laugh-out-loud funny and never seems dated, while the dual always-ending-in-a-coincidence plots on "Seinfeld" seem a little obvious and contrived to me now. The Hackett brothers are a fraternal spin on "The Odd Couple," but Steven Weber's Brian is deceptively good, and Thomas Haden Church's take on the absent-minded "Kramer" type is "Saturday Night Live" to Michael Richards' "Fridays." Helen, Fay, Roy and Antonio are also reliably excellent -- and I swear I'm not just letting the way Tim Daly fills out his chinos cloud my judgment! Netflix is inexplicably missing a few episodes, but be on the lookout for Joe getting the old lady at the video store fired on Christmas, Brian being convinced that Fay is a serial killer and Lowell having to move in with the Hackett brothers when his houseboat is accidentally sunk. "Wings" is a first-class sitcom.

He Blinded Me With Science

As a kid, I was never a big fan of science class. But something tells me I'd have been way more into it if "Wings" hunk Tim Daly had stopped by Ms. Schrode's sixth-period biology to, uh, encourage me to learn. According to Science Mag, Daly -- who looks perfect in a pair of tighty whities and even better out -- is a big supporter of efforts to improve math and science in U.S. schools. But he's not a fan of how advocates have labeled their cause. "The acronym STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) blows," says Daly, who participated in National Lab Day today at East Side Community High School in New York as co-president of the Creative Coalition, a nonprofit organization that lobbies for the arts community. "Everybody thinks you're talking about stem cells. It should be STEAM. It's not only a better acronym, but it will enhance what they are doing." (I love it when he gets so passionate.) Daly was joined by fellow actor Andrea Bowen and Dr. Beth Noveck, White House deputy chief technology officer. Move over, Mr. Dane: there's a new McSTEAMy in town!

Dateline: WASHINGTON

It's been a long time since I was jealous of my D.C. friends for getting to attend the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. But with Obama as prez, Wanda Sykes at the mic and stars galore, it's hard not to be more than a little green with envy:

“I think maybe Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker, but he was just strung out on OxyContin and missed his flight,” Sykes said, to cheers and nervous groans. “Too much?” But then she continued anyway. “Rush Limbaugh. ‘I hope the country fails’? I hope his kidneys fail, how about that? He needs some more waterboarding, that’s what he needs.” Read all about it HERE.

Coffee Talk

It's almost unimaginable that of all the talented up-and-comers in Barry Levinson's classic film "Diner," Mickey Rourke -- by far its finest actor -- would wind up having one of the least successful careers. Might "The Wrestler" be the redemption he has waited so long for?

Mickey was the best actor, but Tim Daly is and was the hottest

Sunday Worship: Tim Daly

I fell for Tim Daly the first time I laid eyes on him in Barry Levinson's classic film "Diner." A decade as the uptight Joe Hackett only made me love him more. These days, my Michael reminds me a lot of Tim, so "Wings" may be long over, but I'm still flying high ...
