Backup link in case the video's not working: 

And by the way, I've started the process of moving bonus videos over to YouTube, which should be more stable. It'll take a few weeks because I've got A LOT of files to transfer and it has to be done one-by-one, but once I'm finished, bonus videos should be much more reliable.

Hello there!

For this week's bonus video we're diving into the life & times of TV icon Norman Lear. I've got some cute clips from his recent 100th (!) birthday party, and also from his 80s-era special about patriotism ... which featured the Muppets, oddly, though I'm certainly not mad about it. A funny story from Rita Moreno leads to a bit of a lost-media mystery involving Bea Arthur, Angela Lansbury, and Fran Drescher. And we've got some new features on the Patreon that may be of interest: A new monthly video series, and a new tier. Thanks again for making all this stuff possible, and for sending me clips of stuff to check out!!!

Come see me live in Chicago, Portland, LA, and Seattle: http://gaysitcoms.com

Hey, the backup link is missing? I'm unfortunately one of the people who kinda relies on that to see the video ^^;

The free tier is a fantastic idea! Didn't know it was possible to setup it like that. Even if I'm not in need of it right now, it is a great thing to have as an option. The Q&As will be a great attraction for it for those who are just curious and might not be comfortable to jump in straight away.

Thanks! It's a new feature that Patreon just started testing out, and I was lucky enough to get my members included. I'm really glad to be able to offer it!

On IMDB, the P.O.P. entry lists “Music by Dave Grusin / Lyrics by Alan Bergman & Marilyn Bergman / Performed by Charles Durning and Bea Arthur” under the Soundtrack section. Maybe it was the theme song?
