Interesting Television Notes and Coincidences

I enjoyed watching two very diverse TV shows yesterday: an over 50 year old “Bonanza” episode and the fine David Steinberg Showtime series ” Inside Comedy.” I must point out a double coincidence.

On “Inside Comedy,”  comedian and actor Mike Myers was one of the guests interviewed.

He talked of how his “Austin Powers” movies were a spoof of the James Bond spoofs, such as “In Like Flint.”

Later on the old “Bonanza” episode, James Coburn, early in his fine acting career was the guest star. He later starred in “In Like Flint.”

However, the real coincidence was Pernell Roberts’ “Adam” character on Bonanza greeting Coburn’s character as “You Old Skin FLINT, you.”

Some say coincidences are God’s way of being anonymous and/or telling me to get out of the house, even on a very hot day.
