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

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

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?

HAPPY 83rd BIRTHDAY, LEONARD NIMOY! (A Special TreKomic just for you!)

Well, Kids, it took a little longer than expected, but I’m still 20 minutes inside March 26th!

Happy 83rd Birthday Leonard!!!!

Your life so far has been amazing, and we fans are so thankful for the joy, excitement, and inspiration you have blessed us with all these years!

By the way,  I think McCoy is gonna pay for this:   Enjoy! Lights Out

It’s Leonard’s Birthday!

Hey Kids — I haven’t forgotten what today is–Leonard is 83!   In fact, I’ve been working on a TreKomic for much of today, but it’s so BIG I’m going to have to re-size it!  Thanks for your patience and I hope to have it up before today is through!  Here’s a nice pic of our favorite fellah for now in his tender teenage years! Happy Birthday Sir!

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

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..

You’ll just have to endure my chest hair…

Breathe…

Inhale…

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

I’m Hungry!

IMG_8790

I’m too sexy for my shirt…

So sexy it hurts…

Did I mention the hair…

IMG_8803

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

IMG_8811

But Mike can’t resist me anymore!

IMG_8812

I keep them happy with my Dracula impression…

IMG_8813

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?

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 – Nimoy drops in on a Kiddie Show

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!)
