As a writer, producer, actor/performer, and TV personality, I love all things nostalgic, particularly having to do with classic television programming.I began my career in the 1980s as an NBC Page at the network's facility in Burbank, CA. I went on to bit roles on daytime soaps like General Hospital, and The Bold and the Beautiful, as well as nighttime fare like Highway to Heaven, and The Golden Girls. For a time, I was a stand-in dancer on TV's music-variety series, Solid Gold, and acted and sang in clubs along the Sunset Strip.By the early '90s, I switched gears to writing, with the publication of my book, The Bewitched Book, about the classic 1960s TV series. From there, I published other classic TV literary companions and began producing and appearing on classic TV documentaries for Bravo, A&E, TLC, and most recently the Reelz Channel. I also consulted on and appeared in a number of DVD and Blu-ray packages of classic TV shows for Sony, and Warner Bros.In 2013, I established the Classic TV Preservation Society (CTVPS), a formal 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that celebrates and advocates for the positive social effect of classic TV shows (which I am in the process of rebooting).In 2019, I hosted, co-created, and co-executive-produced my own TV talk show, Then Again with Herbie J Pilato, which began streaming on Shout! TV and Amazon Prime. In early 2023, I published Retro Active Television: An In-Depth Perspective of Classic TV's Social Circuitry, which explores the positive impact of classic TV. The Los Angeles Book Festival recently named Retro “Book of the Year,” and subsequently, myself, “Author of the Year.” With a Foreword by actor Eric Scott, of The Waltons, Retro Active Television has received additional high praise, including endorsements from those like Marc Wade of the Television Academy, and Emmys.com.

We are exploring the infinite feedback loop between television and society with pop culture historian/author Herbie J Pilato and Eric Scott, who played Ben on The Waltons. Herbie's newest book is called Retro Active Television: An In-Depth Perspective on Classic TV's Social Circuitry which includes a forward written by Eric!We hear about Eric's childhood adventures with his fellow Walton kids on the studio lot, how his relationship with his own parents ensured that his experience as a child actor was a positive one and why our social atmosphere in the 70s was open to positively receiving a warm and cozy show about a family weathering the Great Depression of 1930s. Herbie then gives us his extensively researched and passion-fueled perspective on the life-affirming TV shows of the past as he encourages us to avoid today's darker content while embracing and revisitng the charm and magic of Golden Era TV which is so readily available to us now, across many platforms.We talk about Kung Fu, TV Westerns, sit-coms then and now, the dawn of the miniseries event, After School Specials (some of which featured Eric!) and TV as an educational and inspiring resource. We address the urban/rural divide, the changing late night landscape, and Eric takes on a round of Waltons trivia!Plus, Fritz and Weezy are recommending Little Richard: I am Everything on Apple and Amazon Prime and Judy Blume's Are You There, God?

Mary Tyler Moore, Dick Van Dyke and Larry Matthews in a publicity still from The Dick Van Dyke Show. For fans of the late, great Mary Tyler Moore, the phrase “Love is all around” transcends the theme to her stereotype-shattering TV show. In the annals of television history, one would be hard pressed to think of an actress more adored by legions for a longer period of time than Mary Tyler Moore. Mary’s successes were legendary, but her struggles off-camera were often far from the happy endings of her award-winning TV shows. In the soon to be released book Mary: The Mary Tyler Moore Story (Jacobs Brown Press 2019) Herbie J Pilato offers the first full-scale, objective, and detailed biography of the actress best known from The Dick Van Dyke Show and The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Moore’s life was shaped not only by these two benchmark series but also by the ravages of diabetes, as well as various physical, psychological, and professional challenges. More uplifting experiences came from her involvement with numerous charitable works, such as animal rights and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
