This site preserves the work of Don Brockway, who gave us some uniquely perceptive and funny writing about old TV and radio shows, movies, cartoons, comics, toys, and other aspects of pop culture. Don passed away in 2011.
You can read Don’s blog, Isn’t Life Terrible?, check out his tributes to the classic British comedy Genevieve and Disney voice actress Kathryn Beaumont and his on-set photos of Soupy Sales, and even view his site for his work as a professional speechwriter. For the sake of completeness, here’s the original DonBrockway.com homepage, which points to some of these other things.
We even have some multimedia: Don’s amazing 1982 Christmas comedy cassette.
You’ll also find an appreciation of Isn’t Life Terrible? and a guide to some of its most memorable posts. You can contact us at this page.
Harry McCracken restored Don’s sites for this project. Thank you to Richard Brockway, Irwin Chusid, Timothy Fay, Jerry Sciarrio, and Brian Veys for their essential help.
Oh, and Sandra Petojevic of Sweden has preserved and expanded yet another one of Don’ web creations: His tribute to The Time Machine.
