My Weekly Spock — Nimoy in ‘The Lieutenant’ (Pt. I)

Posted on April 28, 2014 | 3 comments

Hey Kids,

Here’s your weekly fix; some screencaps of Leonard in “The Lieutenant”, a military series by Gene Roddenberry in 1964.  This episode, In the Highest Tradition, was a stepping stone for Nimoy’s casting in Star Trek.

Nimoy plays an hyper A-Personality director who’s hot to make an action war picture based on the exploits of one of the commanders of the title character.  Sounds great but the commander has a secret shame…

More pics next week, (you won’t want to miss those)  and yes, that IS Majel Barret (Nurse Chapel) as Nimoy’s secretary!

My Weekly Spock — Leonard Remembers the Boston of his Youth

Posted on April 21, 2014 | 3 comments

Hey Kids,

Thinking of Boston today as they run their triumphant Boston Marathon and slowly heal the wounds of last year’s attack.  Boston has been through many changes, but it will always be Boston Strong.  Here’s a portion of a wonderful  interview where Leonard remembers the long lost West End Boston of his youth:

(Sorry I’m late today, getting over a bad head cold.  Hope you had a nice holiday weekend!)

Can you spot Leonard here with his High School buddies?

My Weekly Spock — At Home with Nimoy

Posted on April 7, 2014 | 5 comments

A little shout out to my  pals at Facebook for linking me to this great picture and article about Mr. Nimoy’s home in Bel Air.  An interesting place, definitely, although more museum-ish than cozy. I’d like to know the story behind what appears to be a burned out cello behind him.  I love the tea house!

My Weekly Spock — Some More Seventies Stills

Posted on March 31, 2014 | 3 comments

Even though Trek was over by 1969, Nimoy’s popularity was soaring  from its syndication and exposure in Mission Impossible.  A shame Baffled didn’t get farther that a pilot, that would have been a fun show.  But Nimoy’s credits notwithstanding, he was and is  always Number 1 with his fans.

My Weekly Spock –“Sea Hunt” in his Birthday Suit (sort of)

Posted on March 24, 2014 | 4 comments

Hey Kids,

Since this is Leonard Nimoy Birthday Week, I couldn’t think of a better way to start off than having Mr. Nimoy in his birthday suit…well, half of it!

Nimoy did eight episodes of the Lloyd Bridges series Sea Hunt.  Here’s screencaps from one of his most au natural appearances The Shipwreck (1958) Nimoy plays Vince, a newlywed trapped with his whiny wife, an old man, and Mike Nelson (Bridges) in a life raft without paddles for nearly a week at sea.  It gets pretty desperate, and Vince is a bit of a dope, but he has incredibly great hair blowing in the sea breeze, and lots of hairy chest goodness..

The rescue gets off to a good start as Vincent tears out of his wet shirt

Well, he won that wet tee contest…

He has…

You’ll just have to endure my chest hair…

I’m Hungry!

My wife’s mad at me for losing the fishing rod… and won’t let me touch her…

But Mike can’t resist me anymore!

I keep them happy with my Dracula impression…

I still have the best hair here…

Could I PLEASE have some Chapstick?

She forgave me when she remembered she couldn’t live without my chest hair…

My Weekly Spock — Spock switching to DISH?

Posted on March 10, 2014 | Leave a comment

I think Spock is fed up with Cable monopolies and switching to DISH! Great old promo shot. 🙂 Looks like it’s from “The Corbomite Maneuver” era (note high collar)

My Weekly Spock — In a Tux

Posted on March 3, 2014 | 6 comments

With Award Season over, a nice time to look back at Mr. Nimoy in his tuxedoed best!  (At the Emmys in 1967) (He should’a won!)

My Weekly Spock – Nimoy drops in on a Kiddie Show

Posted on February 25, 2014 | 3 comments

Around 1971, Mr. Nimoy made a personal appearance at Birmingham, Alabama’s  local TV station WBMG on the kiddie show Sargent Jack.  I’m Nimoy on Sgttotally digging the leather jacket!   It’s fun  to see an average Joe alongside Nimoy’s Joe Cool! Too bad there aren’t more pictures or a video of this! Would love to have heard what they chatted about.

Back then almost every local TV station with a news department had a kiddie show with a live host in character and often puppet shows, games, and cartoons.

I remember when I was a kid, our local CBS affiliate,  WNBF, Channel 12, had their show Officer Bill with Bill Parker (who still does radio!) Our Local ABC affiliate (WBJA) had their local version of Bozo the clown, and as a curly- haired Brownie, my troop 206 got to be on both shows!  (Wish I could get a video of those too!)

My Weekly Spock – Nimoy Stills from “Piers Morgan Live”

Posted on February 17, 2014 | 2 comments

Hey Kids,

Here’s some screencaps I took from February 10th’s interview of Mr. Nimoy with Piers Morgan of CNN.  As you can see, it was a lively conversation! I’ll have the transcript up for you soon! (and I hope video too).  The man loves his life, regardless of any illness;  a lesson we all could learn.  Enjoy!

My Weekly Spock – Personal Appearances

Posted on January 27, 2014 | Leave a comment

Hey Kids,

Mr. Nimoy made a lot of personal appearances in the 70’s, and here’s a typical 8×10 glossy from the chain store Two Guys.  I found this on the site plaidstallions.com which is the mother load of all things 70’s! (Especially bad fashion, but Leonard looks great here!)
