One Day at a Time just can't seem to catch a break. Pop has cancelled the comedy TV show after a shortened fourth season but there's a chance there could still be a fifth season.
A reboot of the 1970s CBS series from Norman Lear, Whitney Blake, and Allan Manings, the reboot comes from Gloria Calderón Kellett and Mike Royce. It centers on Cuban-American Penelope Riera Alverez (Justina Machado). This US Army veteran and divorced mother is just trying to balance work and her social life while raising her kids, Elena (Isabella Gomez) and Alex (Marcel Ruiz). Thankfully, she has the support of her Cuban mother, Lydia Riera (Rita Moreno), her boss, Dr. Leslie Berkowitz (Stephen Tobolowsky), and landlord Pat Schneider (Todd Grinnell).

In “My Gun Is Quick” (1957), Mickey Spillane’s famous private detective Mike Hammer (Robert Bray) meets a sad young hooker named “Red” (Patricia Donahue) in a greasy spoon and rescues her from a goon trying to put the muscle on her. Hammer slaps him around and kicks him out the door and gives her bus fare plus change to go back home and start over. He’s a hardnose but he’s got a tender spot somewhere under that tough exterior. He writes down his name and number on a slip of paper and tell her to call him to let him know she made it okay. Before they part he notices a very ornate ring on the third finger of her right hand. Hammer has been up for 52 hours and just wants to go home and get some sleep,...

Mike Hammer is in action again! Well, not exactly. Producer Victor Saville’s third go-round with Mickey Spillane’s famed character doesn’t do the franchise justice. Hammer-philes will be astounded by this thriller’s decidedly un-thrilling thrills: there’s little to connect the inexpressive nice guy Robert Bray with the super-popular, super-violent avenger of the books. Spillane’s original is abandoned in favor of a tame ‘who’s got the diamonds?’ storyline, with some compensation in a string of exciting ‘Hammer dames.’ I checked twice — Mike doesn’t shoot Any of them in the stomach.

Bonnie Franklin—the sprightly redhead who became a symbol of a new, more liberated era as the star of One Day At A Time—has died, following a bout with pancreatic cancer. She was 69. The Norman Lear-developed series—which its co-creator, former sitcom actress Whitney Blake, loosely based on her experiences raising her own sitcom actress daughter, Family Ties star Meredith Baxter—saw Franklin embodying the growing feminist movement that saw women declaring their independence from traditional wife and mother roles, much as Franklin’s character, Ann Romano, declared her independence from her overbearing husband. Striking out for Indianapolis ...

Destroy the Brain is proud to have Max Allan Collins write up a guest post to explain the character of Mike Hammer and the screen adaptations of this character. We want to thank Tom Green from Titan Books for giving us this great opportunity.
The publication of Lady, Go Die! has elicited Hollywood inquiries as to the possibility of a new Mike Hammer movie. Accompanying this interest comes the usual question, “Who do you think should play Mike Hammer?” Since Mickey Spillane always said that Mike Hammer is a state of mind, my suggestions range from Josh Brolin to Denzel Washington, from Ben Affleck to Jason Statham. I am always open to imaginative casting. Tom Hanks made a great Michael Sullivan in Road to Perdition, after all.
Mickey always complained about the Hollywood movies from his Hammer novels, although he had complimentary things to say about the two TV Hammers,...
