Another filmmaker retrospect allows me to sum up former Marine-turned-marketing exec-turned hit TV producer Donald P. Bellisario.   From writing on the staff of Black Sheep Squadron and the original Battlestar Galactica to creating the Magnum P.I., Quantum Leap and NCIS saga, what are some other deep cuts he was responsible for?   Along the way, I also get to play some inspiring screenwriting tips-and-tricks he gives in his Television Academy interviews!     MUSIC USED: "NCIS Theme Remix" by Ministry           MAIN LINKS:  LinkTree: ⁠https://linktr.ee/JURSPodcast⁠ Facebook Page: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/JackedUpReviewShow/⁠ Facebook Group: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/2452329545040913⁠ Twitter:⁠ https://twitter.com/JackedUpReview ⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/jacked_up_podcast/ ⁠       SHOW LINKS: YouTube: ⁠https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCIyMawFPgvOpOUhKcQo4eQQ⁠   iHeartRadio: ⁠https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-jacked-up-review-show-59422651/⁠   Podbean: ⁠https://jackedupreviewshow.podbean.com⁠   Spotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/7Eg8w0DNympD6SQXSj1X3M⁠   Apple Podcasts: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jacked-up-review-show-podcast/id1494236218⁠   RadioPublic: ⁠https://radiopublic.com/the-jacked-up-review-show-We4VjE⁠   Overcast: ⁠https://overcast.fm/itunes1494236218/the-jacked-up-review-show-podcast⁠   Google Podcasts: ⁠https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9hNDYyOTdjL3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz⁠   Anchor:  ⁠https://anchor.fm/s/a46297c/podcast/rss⁠   PocketCasts: ⁠https://pca.st/0ncd5qp4⁠   CastBox:  ⁠https://castbox.fm/channel/The-Jacked-Up-Review-Show-Podcast-id2591222⁠   Discord:  ⁠https://discord.com/channels/796154005914779678/796154006358851586⁠         #MovieReview #FilmTwitter #PodFamily #PodcastersOfInstagram #Movies #Film #Cinema #Music #Reviews #Retrospect #Podcasts #MutantFam #MutantFamily #actionmystery #bmovies #scifihorror #truecrime #historydramas #warmovies #podcastcollabs #hottakes #edgy #cultmovies #nsfw #HorrorFam #badass

Donald P. Bellisario is one bad mutha.  He created Magnum PI, JAG, and NCIS.  He also gave us Airwolf, which was loosely based on Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice*.  We're gonna hold our breathe and take a deep dive on this fella's career.  However,  y commitment o you is that I will also discuss the musical stylings of one Telly Savalas, my time on the set of JAG, dogs & cops, the (almost) death of Thomas Magnum, super helicopters, and Quantum Leap references during improv shows. *That was a joke.

NCIS la série originelle, elle-même dérivée de JAG à l'époque de Donald P. Bellisario, est actuellement en cours de sa 20e saison. Elle a donné naissance à quatre spin-offs, NCIS : Los Angeles (depuis 2009 avec une saison 14), NCIS : Nouvelle-Orléans (2014 à 2021), NCIS : Hawai'i(depuis 2021, le titre ayant passé de Hawaii à Hawai'i pour rendre hommage à la langue locale) et très prochainement en 2023 NCIS : Sydney. On va s'attarder sur NCIS : Hawai'i dont la saison 1 vient de sortir sur Salto. Direction l'île de Hawaii à Pearl Harbour évidemment, avec Jane Tennant, une agente fédérale qui n'a peur de rien et qui a mené de front carrière et vie de famille. https://youtu.be/LluQHGxXGdw L'une des premières particularités commence, vous l'aurez compris, avec son héroïne. C'est la première fois dans la franchise NCIS qu'une femme est la meneuse d'une équipe. Et Vanessa Lachey n'est pas à sous-estimer. Oui, elle présente Love is Blind, la télé-réalité, mais elle a clairement d'autres chats à fouetter dans NCIS Hawaii. Et la dynamique change quand c'est une femme cheffe d'équipe. Quant à sa team, elle est assez classique, un bleussaille local de l'île qui n'y avait pas mis les pieds depuis quelques temps, une rebelle qui n'a cure des règles, un geek, et un bras droit sans grand charisme. Par ailleurs, ce spin-off de NCIS est celui qui a le plus fait de crossovers avec les autres équipes. Le procédural reste le fondement de cette série de network et même si peu de véritables surprises existent, le format divertissement remplit sa part du contrat. Le décor de Hawai'i pourrait plaire à plus d'un·e puisque même si les indigènes ne peuvent pas éviter les white saviors, la culture est un minimum représentée. [bs_show url="ncis-hawaii"] Bref, si l'envie vous prenait de commencer un nouveau procédural, n'hésitez pas à donner une chance à NCIS Hawai'i qui est disponible sur Salto.

Tread Perilously's Total Request Live 5 continues with an episode of the 1980s Magnum P.I. called "The Ugliest Dog In Hawaii." When mobsters pose as animal control officials to get their mitts on Sir Algernon Farnsworth, the adopted dog of one of Higgins's friends down at the club, Magnum is called in to investigate the incident and protect the pooch from any harm. Why an old mobster wants the dog is anyone's guess? But after a second attempt to heist the canine, Magnum teams up with an actual animal control representative to learn the truth. Will Magnum also need to call in his friends to save his life? Justin and Erik are immediately thrilled to see Michael V. Gazzo -- Frank Pentangeli from The Godfather Part II -- make an appearance. Justin introduces his new "Mustache Theory." The naming conventions of Donald P. Bellisario get called into question. Justin tries to discern the actual premise of Magnum. Erik attempts to imagine the timeline in which Tom Selleck plays Indiana Jones. Marc Harmon turns out to be the most vain actor working today. Burt Reynolds proves to be stunningly important. Justin discovers that Motorhead is eternal and Erik learns the secret identity of Magnum's unseen Robin Masters.

The story of the American newsroom is that of modern American journalism. In The American Newsroom: A History, 1920-1960 (University of Missouri Press, 2021), Will Mari documents a time of great change and controversy in the field, one in which journalism was produced in "news factories" by news workers with dozens of different roles, and not just once a day, but hourly, using the latest technology and setting the stage for the emergence later in the century of the information economy.  While newspapers have come to be seen as an integral part of American democracy, Mari's work shows that newsrooms themselves were far from democratic during this period. They were largely not available to women and people of color, and the leadership style of some editors and mangers bordered on authoritarian. Those standards shifted over the time The American Newsroom documents, thanks in part to the rise of newsroom unions, changing practices around human resources, and the continued transformation of journalism into a professional, white-collar occupation.  The American Newsroom sets the stage for many of the visions of newsrooms we see in pop culture from All The President's Men to Spotlight and demonstrates how the period from 1920-1960 expanded the notions of what journalism could and should be.  Will Mari is assistant professor of media history and media law at the Manship School of Mass Communication at Louisiana State University. He received his MPhil from Wolfson College, Cambridge and his Ph.D. from the University of Washington. He studies media history, media law, and especially analog-to-digital transitions and their impact on news workers. Jenna Spinelle is a journalism instructor at Penn State's Donald P.

The story unfolds during the 1830s, a period known for legal efforts to silence the abolitionist movement by states across the South and violent mobs who picked up that charge when the government could not. Lovejoy pushed back against both of those forces and ultimately succumbed to them, becoming a martyr for the abolitionist movement and a wakeup call about how essential a free press was to a free country and a thriving democracy in America. Lovejoy's story is worth revisiting now at time when attacks against journalists are again on the rise and the press is considered by some to be the "enemy of the people." Ellingwood does a wonderful job of capturing it in this book and bringing this important time in American history to light.

In this episode Mark talks about one of his favourite TV shows: the American science-fiction television series "Quantum Leap", created by Donald P. Bellisario. Set in the near future, the series stars Scott Bakula as Dr. Sam Beckett, a physicist who theorised that it may be possible to time travel within one's own lifetime, who decides to test his theory by stepping into the "Quantum Leap accelerator" and who subsequently vanishes and continuously finds himself leaping through space and time by temporarily swapping his consciousness in place of other peoples' to correct what are believed to have been historical mistakes in the past. However, Dr. Sam Beckett ultimately finds himself trapped in the past, looking into the eyes mirror-images that are not his own, "and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better". Dr. Sam Beckett is guided on his journey through time and space by Admiral Al Calavicci (played by Dean Stockwell), an observer of Project Quantum Leap from Sam's own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And as every episode's intro, narrated by co-executive producer Deborah Pratt, explains: "...Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap... will be the leap home" - however, the question still remains as to whether and when Dr. Beckett will ever return home. The series ran for five seasons, from March 25, 1989 through to May 5, 1993 - and is often sighted as one of greatest TV series ever made. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/markthepoet/message

Airwolf is an action military drama television series that ran from January 22, 1984 until August 7, 1987. The program centers on a high-technology military helicopter, code named Airwolf, and its crew as they undertake various exotic missions, many involving espionage, with a Cold War theme. The show was created by Donald P. Bellisario and was produced over four seasons. The first three seasons' main cast consisted of Jan-Michael Vincent, Ernest Borgnine, and Alex Cord, with Jean Bruce Scott added as a regular in Seasons two and three. The show originally aired on CBS and after the original series was cancelled, a fourth season, with an entirely new cast and on a much smaller budget, was filmed in Canada for the USA Network. The show's distinctive musical score, which was originally orchestral, but shifted to more synthesizer-based arrangements early in the second season, was composed and mainly conducted by Sylvester Levay. Udi Harpaz conducted the scores for many later second- and third-season episodes.

Tripping the Couture Fantastic with Jean-Pierre Dorléac By Christopher DeFilippis He imaginatively dressed up Lorne Greene in TV's Battlestar Galactica and artfully dressed down Brooke Shields in the cult classic film The Blue Lagoon. But Quantum Leap fans will best remember costume designer Jean-Pierre Dorléac for giving their favorite show its most iconic image, and for giving their favorite hologram his flamboyant style. In our post Mad Men, nostalgia-driven media culture, it's hard to remember a time when costumes weren't so much wistful distractions to be blogged about as they were tools to transport viewers into another time and place. And when it comes to embodying eras gone by, Don Draper ain't got nothing on Sam Beckett. And that's thanks to Dorléac. In his series-long tenure as costume designer for Quantum Leap, Dorléac had one of the most important jobs on show. When Sam Leapt into a new time and place, his first clue as to who and where he was was often his outfit. It was a crucial, visual shorthand for both the character and the viewers—one that required Dorléac to reliably recreate four decades worth of fashions. He rose to the challenge brilliantly; whether tracking a dropper named Clapper as noirish Nick Allen in “Play it Again, Seymour,” fighting sexism as a stylishly-dressed Samantha Stormer in “What Price Gloria” or romancing on the high seas as wealthy playboy Philip Dumont in “Sea Bride,” Sam convincingly inhabited any era a story required. And Dorléac made it look so natural and effortless that he was nominated for four Emmys for his work on Quantum Leap (including for the aforementioned “Sea Bride”). In fact, his QL period costuming was so effective that it is now studied in university classes. But not only did Dorléac have to faithfully recreate the past. He also had to give viewers a glimpse of the future. And his fashion choices have given Quantum Leap its signature genre style. The designer's futuristic flourishes take front and center in the show's very first scenes. Al's neon star lapel pin and matching shoe appliques are prominently featured in the tease for “Genesis,” as are Tina's LED high heels and earrings. And while we're still grinning over this retro-future chic, Dorléac hits us with Quantum Leap's most iconic image: Sam, in his clean, white Fermi suit, arms outstretched, being buffeted by quantum energy in the Accelerator Chamber as he prepares for his first Leap. Fashion, both real and imagined, was critical to the success of Quantum Leap. And fashion would remain the show's primary tool to differentiate the past from the future, embodied mainly by Al. Al's flamboyant fashion choices were a brilliant counterpoint to Sam's historic mien. And while the metallic fabrics, funky cuts and garish hues may have started out as a visual gimmick to make the hologram an anachronistic standout in Sam's pedestrian surroundings, they evolved into an abiding character statement for Al. For a man who spent five years in filthy black rags as a POW, Al's colorful clothes proclaim that he remains unbroken, and that he's full of joy and lust and a zest for life. Quantum Leap wasn't the first time Dorléac recreated historical fashions for show creator Donald P. Bellisario. They started working together on Bellisario's 1930's era series Tales of the Gold Monkey. And Dorléac lent his futuristic vision to a parade of genre shows through the 1970s and 80s: Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century, Automan, The Greatest American Hero, Max Headroom, Knight Rider and the aforementioned Battlestar Galactica, for which he won his first Emmy. And his impressive roster of film work includes another time travel classic, Somewhere in Time, starring the late Christopher Reeve. Dorléac has chronicled his storied career in his new memoir, The Naked Truth: An Irreverent Chronicle of Delirious Escapades. In it, the costume designer relates never-before-told, behind-the-scenes stories about working in theater, couture,

Donald P. Bellisario A prolific writer, producer and director, Donald P. Bellisario has been crafting words and stories for a variety of readers and audiences for more than 30 years, and did so long before he gained notoriety as a creator/producer of groundbreaking television series such as “Magnum, P.I.”, “Quantum Leap” and “NCIS”.  In 1961, armed with a degree in journalism from Penn State University, he began his writing career at the Centre Daily Times for four years before becoming a copywriter for a small advertising agency in Lancaster, Penn.  He later moved to Dallas to take a prestigious copywriting position at the famous Bloom Agency. After eight years at Bloom, Bellisario had risen to the level of senior vice president, head of film production, creative director, and member of the board of directors.  Yet, at the age of 42, he was still eager to gamble on a new career.  Moving to Hollywood, he became a story editor on the 1976-78 series “Baa Baa Black Sheep,” with Robert Conrad.  After just five episodes, he was promoted to producer, a position he held for one year.  He then became supervising producer of “Battlestar Galactica” and, subsequently, began to develop his own series.  Bellisario is best known for his creations “Magnum, P.I.,” “Quantum Leap,” “JAG,” and “NCIS.”  Running from 1980-88, “Magnum, P.I.” starred Tom Selleck.  Among other honors, Bellisario's work on the series won him an Edgar Allen Poe writing award.  “Quantum Leap,” the 1989-1993 science fiction drama starring Scott Bakula, garnered four Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Drama Series.  Running for ten seasons, from 1995-2005, “JAG” starred David James Elliott.  Running from 2003 to the present, “NCIS” is currently in its eleventh season.  Bellisario's other “created by” credits include “Tales of the Gold Monkey” with Stephen Collins; “Airwolf” with Jan-Michael Vincent; “Tequila and Bonetti” with Jack Scalia; and “First Monday” with James Garner and Joe Mantegna.  He served as executive producer for all eight series, and also in that same capacity on Paramount's 1995 detective telefilm “Crowfoot.”  For the big screen, Bellisario wrote, produced and directed the 1987 feature film “Last Rites,” starring Tom Berenger.  Bellisario also received the 2001 Producer of the Year award from the Caucus for Producers, Writers and Directors.  In addition to industry awards, Bellisario has been the recipient of numerous other awards including the Distinguished Alumni Award from Penn State University; Marine Corps Scholarship Fund Globe and Anchor Award 2002; Red Cross Spirit Award; an Honorary Doctorate of Arts from Washington-Jefferson University; and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  Born in Cokeburg, Pennsylvania, Bellisario served four years in the U.S. Marine Corps.  Bellisario and his wife Vivienne live in Montecito, CA and Sydney, Australia.

Airwolf is an American television series that ran from 1984 until 1987. The program centers on a high-tech military helicopter, code named Airwolf, and its crew as they undertake various missions, many involving espionage, with a Cold War theme. The show was created by Donald P. Bellisario. The first three seasons star Jan-Michael Vincent, Ernest Borgnine, Alex Cord, and (from the second season onwards) Jean Bruce Scott. After the original series was cancelled, a fourth season, with an entirely new cast and on a much smaller budget, was filmed in Canada for the USA Network.
