This is STILL HERE HOLLYWOOD. I’m Steve Kmetko. Join me, with today’s guest, and one of the stars of “Home Improvement”, Debbe Dunning.

In the 1990’s television was in its heyday... The bulk of shows were still on the four broadcast networks. No streaming yet. Some cable. It was great.

One show on ABC catapulted some of its early stars into worldwide superstardom. One went to “Infinity and beyond”. Another went to the beach.

But when a cast changes on a TV hit, the show obviously, must sill go on.

There was one actor who perfectly filled the shoes and tool belt of the previous star in order to help keep the show on the air for years.

Melissa Rivers "Fashion Police"

This is Still Here Hollywood. I’m Steve Kmetko. Join me with today’s guest, Producer and host, Melissa Rivers.

You hear the term “Like father, like son” alot, but come on, what year is it...

“Like mother, like daughter” is often much more fitting. Especially for today’s show. Because there was one mom-daughter team that ruled television for a while. The mom, was one of the most famous comedians in the history of stand-up. The daughter, a chip off the old block. Not with comedy, per se, but with a smarmy honesty that related to the viewers.

Sharon Lawrence. "NYPD Blue"

This is Still Here Hollywood. I’m Steve Kmetko. Join me with today’s guest, and prosecutor Sylvia Costas from NYPD BLUE,, Sharon Lawrence.

Now I know that not many, if any, of you will remember the show DRAGNET, because it originally aired in the 1950’s, I mean I was barely around then. But DRAGNET was one of the first big TV “Cop Shows” that came on just a smidge after TV was invented.

Since then, police dramas have pretty much taken up residence on network television schedules...

In the 1980’s there was one show that broke the mold, showing the personal side of the people in law enforcement and the judicial system. That show was NYPD BLUE.
