TV Bites: Sunset Blvd.

THE SNACK:
Dr. Bieler's Detoxifying Health Broth




Once upon a time, in the last quarter of the 20th Century, I lived in Los Angeles. One New Year's Eve, a couple of friends of mine all shared the same dream - that we all wished we could be transported to Artie Green's New Year's Eve party in that little apartment on Las Palmas Blvd. It was agreed it was the best New Year's Eve party we could imagine. And I'll stick with that belief, even today.

TV Bites: Some Like It Hot

THE SNACK:
