Cleaning out the inbox-Non-Sports Edition

The cleaning continues with an all non-sports edition and the longest waiting email in the inbox finally get released.

The Cheshire Herald writes about Amy Hudak returning to her home area in New Haven, Connecticut in an article from February.
Yes, this article has been in the inbox since February 26th and that must be a record for longest amount of time in the inbox.
Hudak was a favorite of mine from her local tenure at then-WHAG and you could see pretty quickly that she was talented enough to move onto larger markets.
When someone stands out at the Hagerstown level, they won't be sticking around long and Hudak didn't as she worked in Rochester, New York before New Haven.
There have been a few through the years that stood out there as the only station in the area, but the station has struggled on almost all points since losing their NBC affiliation in 2016 including attracting young talent.

The best show that it seems that few are watching is NBC's Timeless, which seems to be placed in a day/time slot that doesn't suit it (Sunday's at 10).
Timeless has been saved once by a small hardcore fanbase and that might have to happen again for a third season.
Variety pens one article on Timeless here and Parade's interview with the brilliant star of the series Abigail Spencer discusses the show, her character Lucy and where the show might be going.

For those of you that use Gmail as I do, look for a redesign that will be introduced soon.
Techcrunch writes of the rumored changes and what it might look like for the updated mail service here.

13th Dimension salutes the brilliance of Frank Gorshin, the original Riddler on the Batman TV series.
The late Mr. Gorshin, who passed away in 2005, was the first Riddler, but not the only one as John Astin attempted the role before Gorshin would later return.
13 thoughts on the character and Gorshin makes you look back at just how tremendous he was in his episodes...


13th Dimension also discusses those wonderful MEGO toys from my childhood as well and has pictures of some of the line of the World's Greatest Super Heroes rarest items.
It's fun to look back at the prices of the day and some of the Sears and Penney's catalog displays too.

And one final note from the 13th Dimension as they have a multi-part interview series with Marv Wolfman, who in this segment discusses his role in the creation of Nightwing.
Nightwing was the more grown-up alter-ego of "Dick Grayson", who was the former Robin in the DC Comics, although who knows now with the several revamps in comic history through the last decade or so, if Grayson still is Nightwing, Robin or who knows who else.
