Mark Harmon and Pam Dawber are grandparents

Mark Harmon and Pam Dawber

“Separate from anything as an actor, you hopefully take pride in who people are individually away from any camera just as people, as citizens.  And both our boys have done well and hopefully made smart choices and are doing well daily… we have a lot of reasons to be proud of both of them."

- Mark Harmon, People magazine, November 17, 2023

Mark Harmon celebrated his 74th birthday on September 2, 2025.  Mark and his wife, Pam Dawber, had something extra to celebrate this year.  The couple, married since 1987, became first-time grandparents this spring.  On July 4, 2025, their daughter-in-law, Courtney Prather, revealed on Instagram that she and her husband, Sean Thomas Harmon, had welcomed a son, Cooper Knox Harmon, born on May 22, 2025.  (Mark's mother, was actress, model and fashion designer Elyse Knox (1917-2012) and his father, Tom Harmon (1919-1990) was a college football star, Heisman Trophy winner and sportscaster).

In her post, Courtney reflected on the first month with her newborn.  Her caption read "1 month with you, Cooper Knox Harmon 5-22-25."

Sean Harmon, born April 25, 1988 in Burbank, California.  He is an actor, producer and stunt coordinator.  Sean is the elder of Mark and Pam's two sons.  He played the younger version of Leroy Jethro Gibbs, his father character,  on NCIS.  He is also known for Major Crimes (2012) and NCIS: Los Angeles (2009).

Sean Harmon and Courtney Prather

Sean married longtime girlfriend Courtney Prather, in November of 2022,  The official wedding ceremony took place on Nosara Beach in Costa Rica.  The lavish nuptials lasted for three days, from November 9-13, 2022.  The bride and groom gathered with family at the tropical wedding venue. The celebration included yoga, surfing and family time.  There was also a romantic side trip to Maldives.

According to an account of the ceremony on Married Celeb, "Mark walked Prather down the aisle in this intimate tropical wedding and blessed her alongside his son.  After the wedding, "all the guests can be seen dancing and enjoying."  On the last day, "Sean and Courtney cut the wedding cake together."

Courtney Prather is a health and wellness advocate.  She  is also a a psychologist and consultant, with a PhD in Clinical Health Psychology from the University of North Texas.  There are conflicting reports as to when she met Sean Harmon/  Some sources, including their wedding website, say the couple met at an art gallery in Santa Monica, California in December of 2016.  However, they were reportedly seen together as early as October 2012 at Mark Harmon's Hollywood Walk of Fame Ceremony.  

Sean proposed to Courtney in July of 2021, while they were visiting the E bar L Ranch in Montana, a retreat owned by Sean's father.  At the end of a day full of horseback riding and cycling, Sean presented Courtney with a ring and a bottle of wine.  Engagement photos were taken in a field surrounded by horses.

Mark and Pam's other son is Ty Christian Harmon. Ty, a screen writer, was born on June 25, 1992.  Below is an earlier photo of Mark and Pam and their two sons.  Ty is on the far left.

When Sean and Ty were growing up, Mark and Pam tried to keep their family life with their kids private.  The boys were their top priority and the reason why Mark took on such a long role on NCIS.  In 2023, he told People magazine  that "the decision to do NCIS was "because I was trying to stay home more with a young family.  "It was important to be able to make pancakes on Saturday morning," he said.

Emily in Paris returns for Season Five: - Here's what to expect

On September 16, 2024, Netflix announced that Emily in Paris, starring Lily Collins will return for a fifth season.  There will be another chapter in the saga of an American from Chicago trying to adjust to  the French language and culture.  

Here's what to expect in Season 5:

* Season 5 of Emily in Paris will premiere on December 18th, 2025.  There will be 10 episodes.  The fourth season brought the show's characters to Rome.  Meanwhile, the teaser for the fifth season shows Emily saying 'ciao" to Venice.

* Season 5 will find the fashionable marketing executive, Emily Cooper, stepping into a new role as head of her company's satellite office in Rome.  On August 20, 2025, Netflix released several photos of Collins as Emily in Italy.  In one photo, Emily sits on a boat while looking out at the water.  She wears a stylish white-and-black polka-dot two piece outfit and large white sunglasses.  In another image, she holds the reins of a horse beside her new Italian love interest, Marcello, as he dons a helmet and stands next to his own horse.

*According to OK Magazine, all the characters, except Camile Razat, who played Camille, will be returning.  The cast of characters for Season 5 includes Emily Cooper (Lily Collins), Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini), Mindy (Ashley Park), Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), Julien (Samuel Arnold), Luc (Bruno Gouery), Sylvie Grateau (Philippine Leyoy-Beaulieu, Antoine (Wiliam Abadie), Alfie (Lucien Laviscount), Genevieve (Talia Besson), Nico (Paul Forman), Laurent Grateau (Arnaud Binard), Princess Jane (Minnie Driver), Jake (Bryan Greenberg) and Yvette (Michèle Laroque).

 *  Although the new season begins in Italy, don't expect Emily to remain there for the foreseeable future.  In a 2024 interview with Deadline, Darren Star, the show's creator, stated that "Emily didn't change her Instagram handle to Emily in Rome."

"She is working in Rome sometimes," stressed Star.  Sylvie's company (Agence Grateau), has an office in Rome.  I  don't necessarily think that it means a permanent - in my mind, it's definitely not a permanent - move to Rome.  We're not leaving Paris."

In 2024, French President Emmanuel Macron shared with Variety that he wasn't pleased about the prospect of the show switching locations from Paris to the Eternal City.  A permanent switch now seems highly unlikely.  Of the filming in Rome, Darren Star told TVLine that "I feel like it just expands the universe of the show.  Just at the point that Emily has gotten comfortable in Paris, she's sort of thrown into another country where she's going to experience some cultural differences.  And also, I think there's cultural differences to explore - and we do - between French and Italians.  It's a whole new world, but it doesn't mean that we're leaving Paris."

"This season is a tale of two cities, Rome and Paris," Star told Tudum recently.  "Straddling both, Emily takes love and life to the next level."

* The official synopsis for Season 5 of Emily in Paris reads as follows: 

Now the head of Agence Grateau in Rome, Emily faces professional and romantic challenges as she adapts to life in a new city.  Just as everything falls into place, a work idea backfires, and the fallout cascades into heartbreak and career setback.  Seeking stability, Emily leans into her French lifestyle, until a big secret threatens one of her closest relationships.  Tackling conflict with honesty, Emily emerges with deeper connections, renewed clarity, and a readiness to embrace new possibilities.

Was Stephen Colbert's show cancelled because of Trump?

On Thursday, July 17, 2025, CBS announced that The Late Show with host Stephen Colbert would end its run in May of 2026.  The Late Show has been a staple of late night television since 1993.  Colbert has hosted the show since 2015.  

Colbert will not be replaced.  His show will be completely departing the network.  CBS stated that the cancellation was "purely a financial decision" not related to Colbert's performance or to the presentation of the show.

Since Colbert is one of Donald Trump's fiercest critics, many believe that the cancellation of his show was politically motivated.  In fact, just three days before the cancellation, Colbert denounced CBS for paying $16 million to Trump to settle a law suit over edits to a 60 Minutes interview with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.  He called the settlement "a big fat bribe."

Democrats and progressives have been quick to condemn CBS's decision.  Adam Schiff (D-California), who had just completed a taping with Colbert, declared that America  "deserves better."  He wrote the following on the site formerly known as Twitter:  "If Paramount and CBS ended the late show for political reasons, the public deserves to know."  Senator Bernie Sanders alleged that Colbert's dismissal was not a coincidence.  He said, "CBS's billionaire owners pay Trump $16 million to settle a bogus lawsuit while trying to sell the network to Skydance.  Stephen Colbert, an extraordinary talent and the most popular late night host, slams the deal.  Days later, he's fired.  Do I think this is a coincidence?  NO."

Paramount is in the midst of a proposed merger with Skydance.  The merger requires approval from Donald Trump, a longtime target of Stephen Colbert.  Colbert is a thorn in Trump's side.  How better to please Trump than to get rid of Colbert.

However, former MSNBC host Keith Olberrann, has disputed claims that the dismissal of Colbert's show was politically motivated.  "If that were the case," he wrote, "they wouldn't be keeping him on until next May."

Not surprisingly, Donald Trump was absolutely delighted by the cancellation of The Late Show.  In a social media post, he expressed his belief that Colbert had indeed been fired.  He also anticipated that Jimmy Kimmel would be next to get the axe.  "His talent was even less than his ratings," he said of Colbert.  "I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next," Trump wrote gleefully.

It's hard to believe that the cancellation of Colbert's show had nothing to do with the comedian's criticism of Donald Trump.  One thing is for certain, the demise of The Late Show signals the further decline of late night talk television.  Viewer habits have changed.  Gone are the days when Johnny Carson, Jay Leno and David Letterman ruled TV's after hours.

What's going on with Marge Simpson? Did she really die?

Fans are talking about The Simpsons again.  It's all because of Marge, the cartoon family's raspy-voiced, blue-haired matriarch.  Marge's apparent demise has got tongues wagging.  Social media is abuzz with comments such as #RIPMarge and #SimpsonsShock.  It seems that the "death" of the beloved animated character is causing quite a flap, and sparking a flurry of online discussion. Outraged fans have slammed the "stupid decision."  So, what's really going on?  

Well, Simpsons fans can relax.  Marge is not really going anywhere.  Neither is The Simpsons.  Fox, which has broadcast the popular animated series since its premiere in 1989, announced in April that it had renewed the show until its 40th season in 2029, which ensures that the long-running series will surpass 800 episodes.

There is no indication that any of the voice actors, including Julie Kavner, who provides Marge Simpson's gravelly voice, is going anywhere either. (Prior to voicing Marge, Julie portrayed Brenda Morgenstern, Rhoda's younger sister on the 1970s sitcom Rhoda).

Season 36 finale of The Simpsons, which aired on Fox on May 18, 2025, has caused quite a stir. The episode continues to air on Disney+.   SPOILER ALERT if you haven't watched it yet, but intend to do so.  I am about to reveal the details.  The episode, entitled "Estranger Things," provides a glimpse of of the Simpson family 35 years into the future.  We never learn the circumstances of Marge's death.  We never learn how or when she passed away.  However, we do know that her life was cut short.  "Marge passed before Homer, if you can believe it," sings Canadian musician Sarah McLachlan, as a montage of grieving family and friends is shown before a headstone that reads, "Beloved wife, mother and pork-chop seasoner."  Marge later appears in a pre-recorded message, and in heaven.

Just as Marge had feared, her two older children, Bart and Lisa, have drifted apart since they stopped watching their favourite kids show, The Itchy and Scratchy Show, together.  They bonded over the show, which they have outgrown.  As adults, their lives have gone in different directions.  Lisa, it turns out, has become the commissioner of the NBA.  She is supporting her widowed father who lives in an unlicenced retirement home, run by her deadbeat brother in one of his shady money making schemes.  

After some sparring over Homer's living arrangements, a senior's protection agency sends the widower off on a bus to Florida, whereupon Lisa and Bart embark on a mission to get him back,  In the process, the siblings find a video that Marge recorded before her death, encouraging her eldest children to stick together.  

The family eventually reunites at their Springfield home at 742 Evergreen Terrace, albeit without talkative younger sister Maggie, who is working as a farm equipment auctioneer.  Lisa and Bart watch their beloved Itchy and Scratchy Show again, as Marge looks down on them from heavenly clouds, and expresses her happiness that her children are close again.  The Beatles' drummer Ringo Star appears from behind her, reminding her that they should not be late for the heavenly shrimp buffet.  Then comes another stunning revelation.  Marge kisses Ringo, proclaiming that "I'm so glad that we're allowed to marry different people in heaven."

There has been so much response to the supposed death of Marge Simpson that the show's executive producer, Matt Selman, felt compelled to issue a statement in which he claimed that reports of Marge's death are greatly exaggerated.  In an interview published on June 26, Selman told Variety that Marge's death cannot be considered canon.  "There is no canon.  The Simpsons doesn't even have canon!" he declared.  He then cited the numerous contradictory flash-forwards that have occurred on the show over the years.  "Obviously, since The Simpsons future episodes are all speculative fantasies, they're all different every time.  Marge will probably never be dead ever again.  The only place Marge is dead is in one future episode aired six weeks ago," Selman explained.

Selman blamed media outlets for posting clickbait headlines about Marge in order to generate traffic. "Here's my take: Websites need traffic and headlines equal traffic," he told Variety.  "And then you can explain that the headline was misleading at the very end of the article.  Every single media outlet that ran this story knew that in way was Marge dead.  They all knew it, but they ran the headline anyway."

That's true, but at the same time, all that media flurry sparked renewed interest in The Simpsons. Selman was certainly pleased about that.  He added, "I guess this speaks to the fact that people care about Marge.  A the end of the day, it's probably good for business even when these ridiculous, misleading stories go viral."

Happy 100th birthday, June Lockhart!

June Lockhart is a centenarian.  She was born on June 25, 1925 in New York City.  The legendary actress celebrates her 100th birthday today, so what is her recipe for a long and satisfying life?  "I don't spend any time dwelling on things I can't change, she told Closer Weekly in 2024.  She said that she has learned to be patient and trust her inner voice.  "Everything is in flux.  Wait a moment and things will work out." 

June is the daughter of Canadian-American actor Gene Lockhart and English-born actress Kathleen Lockhart (née Arthur).  Her parents named her "June" because that month played a recurring role in their early lives.  It was the great the inventor Thomas Edison who introduced Gene and Kathleen to each other in his office in West Orange, New Jersey.  Edison held a cross-country train tour every year to promote his new inventions.  He would entertain the dealers by presenting his own theatre productions. June's father performed in one of the plays in 1922 and also in 1923, when her mother was hired in June of that year.

Gene and Kathleen were married in Chicago in June of 1924.  They had been expecting a son, whom they intended to name Gene Jr.  "My birth certificate reads. "Female Lockhart," June told a Pennsylvania paper, The Beaver County Times. "They later chose June as my name because it was a significant month in their lives."

June started her career ss a child on stage at New York's Metropolitan Opera.  At the age of eight, she made her professional debut in a production of Peter Ibbetson, playing Mimsey in a dream sequence.  In the mid-1930s, the Lockhart family moved to California, where June's father, Gene, enjoyed a successful career on screen as a character actor.  Meanwhile, June appeared in  movie classics such as 1938's A Christmas Carol (her film debut.  Her parents played Bob Cratchit and his wife, while June played their daughter, Belinda.  In 1944's Meet Me in St. Louis, June portrayed Lucille Ballard alongside Judy Garland.

Whatever happened to TV theme songs and intros?

What do you think of when we say . . ."Here's the story of a lovely lady..." or, "Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip..."? It's a trick question, of course; we know exactly what you think when you hear those things, and the TV producers that commissioned those songs knew that getting stuck in your head and never leaving was one of the purposes they would serve. You might notice, though, that they also serve another, very specific purpose — and it's one that modern TV productions don't have quite as much of a need for.

- Mike Floorwalker, www,looper.com, "The Real Reason There Aren't TV Show Theme Songs Anymore," September 15, 2022

Whatever happened to TV theme songs?  I really miss them, but they seem to be a dying art form - for several reasons, which I will discuss later.  But first, let's take a trip down memory lane.  Remember the following.

The Ballad of Jed Clampett from The Beverley Hillbillies, lyrics by Paul Henning

Come and listen to my story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
And then one day he was shootin at some food,
And up through the ground come a bubblin crude.

Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

Well the first thing you know ol Jed's a millionaire,
The kinfolk said "Jed move away from there"
Said "Californy is the place you ought to be"
So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly

Hills, that is. Swimmin' pools, movie stars.

Remember how Archie and Edith Bunker (Craroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton) sang "Those were the Days" before every episode on All in the Family.  

Boy the way Glen Miller played,
Songs that made the hit parade,
Guys like us we had it made,
Those were the days,
And you know who you were then,
Girls were girls and men were men,
Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again,
Didn't need no welfare states
Everybody pulled his weight,
Gee our old Lasalle ran great,
Those were the days

Remember how Mary Tyler Moore "turned the world on with her smile."  And then there's Maude.  Remember the lyrics.

Lady Godiva was a freedom rider

She didn't care if the whole world looked

Joan of Arc with the Lord to guide her

She was a sister who really cooked

The Jeffersons moved on up to a deluxe apartment in the sky.  And of course, Cheers was the place where everyone knew your name.  There are many more, but there isn't the space to mention them all here.

TV theme songs have gradually become an endangered species. Some shows still have distinctive instrumentals over their opening credits.  However, the 30-to-60 second theme song is becoming more and more a thing of the past on broadcast TV.  According to Mike Floorwalker, they no longer serve the purpose they once had, which was to set up the premise of a show.  For a long time now, network TV has not been the only choice for viewers.  Now there are so many more alternatives.  With an assortment of streaming services, video recorders and DVDs, you can always catch up with missed episodes or "binge watch."  In the past if you missed watching a series from the beginning, the theme song provided a brief summary.   

Another reason for the demise of TV theme songs is that the amount of advertising on TV shows has increased.  Some of that theme song time is now used for commercials.  It appears that TV theme songs will only live on in reruns.

Y&R Report (June 14, 2025): The Latest on The Young and the Restless

Hey Y&R fans, every second Saturday TV Banter discusses the latest happenings and provides commentary on your favourite daytime drama. Note to U.S. readers - SPOILER ALERT: Here in Canada, I watch the show on Global TV, which is one episode ahead of CBS.  I will inevitably refer to incidents you haven't seen yet.  Read at your own risk.  If you are the curious type, though, you may prefer to discover some things in advance.

Hi fans,

This is my last post before I take a summer break.  So, I will leave you with some thoughts until I return in September.

As I prepare for my summer break, the identity of Aristotle Dumas has yet to be revealed.  The most prominent residents of Genoa City are on their way to Dumas' chateau in Nice, France.  It should be quite an extravaganza.  I expect some twist and turns and maybe even a murder mystery.

It appears that Y&R is finally going to  reveal Dumas' identity this coming week. According to an online spoiler, "Aristotle Dumas reveals himself to his guests and "Amanda's real connection to him is exposed" on Friday. June 20th on CBS (Thursday June 19th on Global TV).  Viewers have waited long enough.  You can only tease audiences for so long.  Fans would lose interest if they had to wait any longer.  Unfortunately, there has been so much anticipation surrounding this Dumas mystery that it's going to be difficult for the show to live up to all the hype.  

So, who is the elusive Aristotle Dumas?  One person we can eliminate is Tucker McCall.  Victor Newman told Chelsea that Tucker is in prison in India.  Chelsea tried to persuade Victor to stop his campaign against Billy Abbott.  She offered to reveal Dumas' identity if the Black Knight agreed to leave Billy Boy alone.  She told him that Dumas is Tucker McCall.  The Big Man called her bluff.    

Billy Flynn (ex-Chad, Days of our Lives)  will be making his debut on Y&R this week.  Could he be Dumas?  I don't think so.  Fans don't even know his character yet.  Why would they be excited or surprised if he turned out to be Dumas?  However, I do think that Flynn's character is connected to Dumas.

I think that somehow, Jill is involved in the Dumas mystery.  She may even be Dumas.  We know that Amanda was Jill's lawyer and that Amada's "real connection" to Dumas will be exposed this week.  Maybe Amanda has been working for Jill this whole time. 

The Newman family is travelling through the south of France in a private rail car.  Nick is definitely enjoying the food on the train, but are they headed for a trap when they arrive at Duma' lair?  Dumas is already spying on them and watching them on a screen.  Maybe a fake Dumas will eventually appear on the screen and speak to everyone, while the real Dumas will remain hidden, like the Wizard of Oz.

Danny Romalotti and Christine "Cricket" Blair are back in town after a world concert tour.  The Cricketmeister was annoyed to see Phyllis, her archenemy.  Phyllis was not exactly thrilled to see "The Bug" either.

What's going on with Mariah?  The writers are teasing us again as we try to learn about the horrible thing that she did.  The answer is being revealed in bits and pieces.  Whatever it is, it is definitely related to Ian Ward.  She had a flashback to a scene in a bar where she was approached by a Ward look-alike.  He told her that appeared as if she could use a friend.

I've been missing summer barbeques and swimming parties on Y&R.  I hope they have one this summer, maybe for July 4th.

Y&R REPORT READERS' POLL

Eric Braeden (Victor Newman)

Victor (Eric Braeden) is being very coy about what he knows concerning Aristotle Dumas.  His family is curious about whether he knows Dumas' identity.  Victor hasn't given them a clear answer.  One thing i for certain, though.  Victor and Dumas are heading for a power struggle.  It will be a clash of the titans.  We all know that Victor will not tolerate anyone who challenges his dominance in the business world.

What do you think, fans?  Does Victor know Dumas' identity?  Respond to the poll below and let me know.

Do you think Victor Newman knows Aristotle Dumas' identity?

Yes, I think he does. He seems smug and not really worried about Dumas.

No. I don't think so. I think he's bluffing.

I don't know.
