All Of My Dreams Have Come True. Now What?
Reveries and Reflections From A Dream Weaver
I’m kinda’-sorta in an enviable position. But not really.
I’ve met everyone I’ve ever wanted to meet, and interviewed everyone I’ve ever wanted to interview and pretty much written about everyone or everything I’ve ever wanted to write about.
That is to say, I still enjoy writing. But my passion for writing really began with my passion for classic television. And when it comes to classic television, that’s really where the “I’ve met/interviewed/written about everyone/everything I’ve wanted to” part comes in.
Certainly, there are other topics, subjects, and people in life that I would like to write about and/or meet. But after more than three decades of dedicating my life and career to writing about/covering classic TV, my passion projects are dwindling.
Which brings me to another dream come true:
Having my own TV show, with my name in the title, no less.
That would be “Then Again with Herbie J Pilato,” a new classic TV talk show that Shout! Factory TV began streaming (July 1st, 2019) on Amazon Prime and other media outlets.
I’ve wanted my own TV show ever since I was a little kid.
