Church of Klugman

Closing the Church

2008-08-03T07:25:00.000-07:00

Yes, it's been awhile since we've posted...and that's part of the problem.

We love Jack - and are happy he has access to his contracts.

However, our lives are becoming increasingly busy, and quite frankly...we haven't put out the blog Klugman fans deserve.

So, we are going to be closing down this blog - we will, however, stay active on Twitter.

Maybe we'll use Tumblr.

But we have to go. Bye!

Jack Talks Punk! (And Other Stuff)

2008-04-13T06:36:00.001-07:00

Jack in 1983. He's sexier than Raymond Burr.

Legal News About Jack

2008-03-28T14:41:00.000-07:00

Unfortunately, Universal seemed to want to rip off Jack, and he's fighting back.

Way to go - nobody messes with Jack Klugman.

NOBODY.

Sorry Ladies...

2008-03-09T19:20:00.000-07:00

....but Jack's newly married. Congratulations!

(Of course, you could always check out Mike Sterling or the Blog THIS, Pal guy. They're both really nice)

The Links of Genius

2008-02-18T11:28:00.000-08:00

This is what happens when you fold an Einstein shirt.

This blog says so.

It must be true.

Brand New Klugman News!

2008-02-04T06:26:00.000-08:00

First, we apologize for not being around so much - we're busy. Plus, it's been cold and snowy here at the Church.

As you can read and watch, Jack is not exactly an intellectual lightweight. That's why we love him.

Happy New Year! Follow Us!

2008-01-06T07:35:00.000-08:00

Hello, fellow Klugman addicts!

First, happy 2008 - may the New Year bring you plenty of steak and bourbon.

Also, you can follow us on the micro-blogging thing Twitter - our home page can be located at http://twitter.com/churchofklugman

Enjoy, and let's party!

Twelve Angry Men

2007-12-30T18:32:00.000-08:00

A Klugman Classic is now part of the film registry.

Also, have a good new year. We'll try to be here to welcome in 2008.

A Holiday Wish For You

2007-12-24T19:05:00.001-08:00

Jack Klugman Groups on Facebook

2007-12-17T04:44:00.001-08:00

We are considering joining Facebook, and know that there are groups you can join.

Does anyone know if there is a Jack Klugman group on Facebook?

Thanks.

Days of Wine & Roses

2007-12-11T04:26:00.000-08:00

This is a really good film - even though Jack has a secondary role, he is really good in it.

Jack Lemmon (the poor man's Tony Randall) and Lee Remick are a couple who drink a lot. Jack sets them straight. It's a good movie, and not only can you buy the DVD, but you can download it. (We have a widget in our sidebar, so you can download. We're still learning how to blog, so we apologize if it's tough for you).

So check it out for yourself.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Jack-mas!

2007-12-02T07:26:00.000-08:00

That's right - this year, make Christmas a Klugman-esque celebration!

Buy and ask for this stuff for Jackmas!

Promote your love of Jack with this t-shirt!

Enjoy your bourbon (to accompany your steak) with this coffee mug!

Hey, it's Jack Klugman and Dean Martin!

So here's some stuff to buy and give - and have yourself a Klugman Christmas!

We're Back - With Presents

2007-11-26T12:32:00.000-08:00

Unfortunately, things at work took a very long time to finish, and so we could not hijack our employer's Internet to post stuff.

However, we also took time to begin putting together an Amazon.com store - click here and you can order all sorts of Klugman stuff.

We borrowed the idea from Gordon at Blog This, Pal. He's a cute guy. We'd date him if he was a woman.

(We'll be better about posting - at least once a week. Honest).

Here's some pictures of Jack at a book signing.

We Need Jack on TV!

2007-10-15T07:57:00.000-07:00

First, we are on Twitter and MySpace, if you are into those kind of things.

However, we at the Church of Klugman have checked out the new fall season, and we don't like the new shows.

No Jack Klugman.

Grey's Anatomy - basically, instead of McDreamy and McSteamy, we should have McKlugman and McRandall. Patrick Dempsey is kind of a wussy. We need Jack!

Two And A Half Men - OK, Charlie Sheen channels Klugman, but he's a poor substitute.

Same with Chris Noth on Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

But the more we watch, the more we realize that we need Jack, now more than ever. (And no, Mike Sterling, Jack Benny is not a substitute.)

Although we think the new Bionic Woman is kind of cute and hot. She should date the Blog THIS, Pal! guy

RIP Brett Somers

2007-09-17T13:31:00.000-07:00

No blog or Twitter today - sad news

Jack in "The Velvet Alley"

2007-09-11T08:36:00.000-07:00

Thanks to Byrd59 for posting these files on YouTube. More Steak & Bourbon!

Part One
Part Two
Part Three
Part Four
Part Five
Part Six
Part Seven
Part Eight

With Rod Serling writing and co-starring Art Carney, it's almost the 1950's equivalent of "fan fiction".

Please explain "fan fiction" because we do not get it.

Twitter Poll

2007-09-08T07:58:00.000-07:00

Although we are currently working through The Velvet Alley on YouTube, we are thinking of also getting an account on Twitter. However, we want to accommodate our fellow Jack Klugman fans, so here is a poll. Please vote accordingly.

Thanks for voting - we are going to have coffee cake now.

Until You Tube Works

2007-08-22T07:19:00.000-07:00

For some reason, You Tube will not play on our computer. (We have fast Internet, so it is not like we are connecting on Dial-Up).

So until we can post "The Velvet Alley", here's a site of Jack news thanks to a fan.

(By the way, who wants pot roast & cola?)

Easing Your Confusion and An Apology

2007-07-18T04:29:00.000-07:00

First, a sincere apology for our posting - things have been quite busy here. We will have some Klugman videos up within the next few weeks, thanks to one of our readers. We apologize for not being as present as we should, because - like you - we love Jack.

Since we haven't done one of these kind of posts in awhile, here we go.

This is Jack Klugman - noted actor, comedian, and spokesman for early treatment of oral cancer. He is best known for playing Oscar Madison on The Odd Couple He is a great guy, an excellent actor, and someone who is worthy of worship. Hence, we created the "Church of Klugman" in his honor.

This is Vic Tayback - another noted character actor. He is best known for playing Mel, the wacky cook on Alice, and played some dumb guys on The Monkees. To our knowledge, he is OK, but he's no Jack - he's not even Al "Sexy Boy" Molinaro. However, there is someone who will create a church for him. We think he and Jack may have been at the same celebrity roast, but are not sure.

For the person who e-mailed us confused about Tayback vs. Jack - we hope this helps. Otherwise, we will try to keep more up-to-date.

Thank you for reading. Now, it's time for pie and coffee!!!!

LOL Klugman

2007-06-18T19:10:00.000-07:00

Not Jack, But an Incredible Simulation

2007-06-08T11:29:00.000-07:00

The Word Is Spreading!

2007-04-30T18:40:00.000-07:00

We at the Church of Klugman appreciate the fact that the church's word is spreading like peanut butter on toast.

First, news of the second season of the Odd Couple on DVD.

Next, an actual promo.

It is good being Jack. Now if only it could get us some "play", as the teenagers like to say.

Jack Sings and Other Things

2007-04-21T21:27:00.000-07:00

First, thanks to Roger and Gordon for being our Myspace friends. You can be our friend, too.

Also, here's a clip with Jack singing:

Finally, just to let you know - we do not approve of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. It's not funny. It's as simple as that.

MySpace Fun

2007-04-19T20:50:00.000-07:00

First, thanks to Roger for being our friend - you can be our friend at MySpace.

We are also getting a lot of e-mails from young women. Are these real young women?

If not, please let us know. We do not need more naughty spam.

It's not what Jack would want.

Big News For Everyone

2007-04-11T20:40:00.000-07:00

First, an explanation about this blog - I started this blog when I was working a dull temp job, and had a spiritual revelation.

That revelation - Jack Klugman is our hero. He is our conscience. He represents the best of humanity. Which is why I started this blog.

Anyway, we now have a myspace page - Find me on MySpace and be my friend!

That is all.

We Wish This Was Released on DVD

2007-04-04T09:07:00.000-07:00

First, we apologize for not blogging recently - our lives have been busy. But we here at the Church of Klugman would like to apologize by encouraging you to contact home video companies to release this on DVD:

A Special Treat for Gordon

2007-02-24T19:09:00.000-08:00

Since the Blog This Pal guy is moving to Chicago, we offer these video treats, and hope he can join us for steak and bourbon.

To Help Ease Your Confusion # 9

2007-02-17T20:38:00.000-08:00

Because we want you to be well-informed:

This is Jack Klugman. He was in Twelve Angry Men and the Twilight Zone. He also starred on Quincy. He is currently alive and well, and is the subject and focus of this blog.

This is Jack Warden. He was also in Twelve Angry Men and The Twilight Zone. However, he was also in the Bad News Bears television series, and was also in Used Cars. However, he passed away some time ago.

We hope this has clarified matters. And now, time for soup!

Who We Are

2007-02-08T04:44:00.000-08:00

Since at least one person has asked (and one person who e-mailed us knows), here is the identity of the Church of Klugman:

we're not Roger Green or Mike Sterling.

We also thank the Blog This Pal guy for citing a Klugman classic.

Jack on Password!

2007-01-27T05:32:00.000-08:00

OK, it's really Oscar Madison, but enjoy anyway.

And please let us know if you would like us to unmask and reveal our true selves.

Happy New Year - Make it Jack!

2007-01-05T03:32:00.000-08:00

First, we partied a little too much on steak and bourbon, but we want to wish you a belated New Year!

We also encourage you to make it the year that you begin to worship Jack - why?

He was a pioneering actor during the golden age of television.
His work on The Odd Couple with Tony Randall showed that two men could live together without driving each other insane.
His pioneering work on Quincy showed him to be the moral voice of a generation.
He can push around wussies like William Shatner.

So, make this the year you commit to Jack...especially if you're a cheater pants. Jack doesn't like cheater pants.

Jack's Suggestion for A New Year's Resolution

2006-12-23T17:51:00.000-08:00

Happy Holidaze!

2006-12-21T17:31:00.000-08:00

Sorry we have not been around, but all that steak, bourbon, and turkey has left us a little sleepy. However, we are catching up, and would like to present some things.

First, from Rod at Chowderhead Bazoo, a cool graphic:

We would like to wish you and yours a wonderful holiday season, with plenty of steak, bourbon, and Aqua Velva.

Also, Roger - don't chug egg nog. And Mike, please stop being a cheater pants. No one likes a cheater pants. Especially Jack.

To Help Ease Your Confusion # 8

2006-11-03T17:48:00.000-08:00

Because we did this some time ago:

This is Jack Klugman, star of stage and screen. He is the reason this blog exists. Accept no substitutes.

This is Keith Richards, guitarist for the Rolling Stones. He has also done heroin. To our knowledge, Jack Klugman has never done heroin, and is not into drug abuse.

This is a pot roast.

Please e-mail us with questions.

We Have a Fan!

2006-10-23T19:45:00.000-07:00

Thanks to April Winchell for bringing attention to us - we also found this video which is kind of cool.

Also, we disagree with Jack having a "face like a pot roast" - it looks more like a mound of mashed potatoes. But we still worship him.

Too Busy Watching Jack

2006-10-08T11:42:00.000-07:00

We at the Church have been watching our Odd Couple and Quincy DVD sets...so in that spirit, we offer you several ways to worship the great Jack Klugman.

A review of his new movie.

The Rotten Tomatoes site

Yahoo Movies.

Jack talking about Peter Falk and Robert Blake.

Some guy who we don't understand.

If the slow posting bothers you, we apologize.

Cool Post

2006-09-14T20:27:00.000-07:00

We like the Blog This Pal guy's post - it's cool

It's the Truth

2006-09-05T09:02:00.000-07:00

Jack speaks his mind

Jack Takes On Punk!!!!!!

2006-08-15T02:39:00.000-07:00

We at the Church of Klugman have been beating the heat by sitting inside and watching Jack on DVD.

Here, now, is a Klugman Classic:

We Need Help

2006-07-27T19:17:00.000-07:00

Recently, we at the Church received a note proclaiming that our blog was "Osama Bin Awesome"

We have no idea what this means.

An Apology

2006-07-18T19:44:00.000-07:00

We would like to apologize to the Blog THIS, Pal guy - it was unfair of us to suggest that he needed a date.

He is as sexy as Al Molinaro.

The Holy Grail

2006-07-09T09:03:00.000-07:00

is upon us.

Happy Fourth of July

2006-07-03T08:20:00.000-07:00

We hope that you and yours have a wonderful Fourth of July, and that you enjoy many grilled hot dogs.

We also think that the Blog This Pal person needs a girlfriend, so please feel free to tell him so.

Jack's Not Happy

2006-06-16T10:28:00.000-07:00

Like Jack, we are concerned - we were looking up people who were "cheater pants", and found out that Mike Sterling is a big "cheater pants".

No steak and bourbon for you, Mike. And Jack is not amused.

We Have Made A Decision

2006-06-10T03:36:00.000-07:00

We were playing a "drinking game" here at the Church of Klugman, and have decided that Drooper of the Banana Splits is very Klugman-esque.

And Snorky is lame.

Close to Klugman

2006-06-04T10:55:00.000-07:00

We here at the Church of Klugman feel this gentleman comes close to the genius that is Jack.

However, we will not create a church for him. We're busy enough.

Feel His Power

2006-05-26T14:07:00.000-07:00

New Jack News

2006-05-21T02:20:00.000-07:00

Here's what Jack is doing now.

More to follow.

To Help You Work

2006-05-08T12:04:00.000-07:00

We apologize for not posting earlier - have been busy.

Since many of you work, we thought this might be helpful. Enjoy.

To Help Ease Your Confusion # 7

2006-04-02T18:43:00.000-07:00

Another entry in our continuing series:

This is Jack Klugman - actor, Match Game contestant, genius. He is a cool guy. We love him, and want to eat hoagies with him.

This is Jimmy Page, guitarist for Led Zeppelin. Much like Jack, he had a partner. However, Jack's partner - Tony Randall - was talented. Robert Plant just shrieked a lot.

This is Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees. He and Jimmy Page share one thing in common - they cannot spell. Jack can.

I hope this answers any questions you may have. And now, it's time for some chicken salad.

DVD Club

2006-03-25T16:39:00.000-08:00

We think that if a hack like William Shatner can have a DVD club, then Jack Klugman deserves one.

We're eating Cheetos - yum!

Academy Awards

2006-03-11T06:08:00.000-08:00

We did not watch the Academy Awards, because they never gave Jack one.

We also hope that, when they do a Hollywood biopic, they use an actor like George Clooney.

P.S. Happy belated birthday to the Blog THIS Pal guy.

Answers to questions

2006-03-02T05:07:00.000-08:00

First, we apologize for being absent for a month. We got dizzy walking in a straight line.

We are also answering Roger Owen Green's question.

First, Mr. Klugman smoked heavily - you can read these articles to learn more.

We could not find any direct links to Mr. Klugman on that film - however, you can ask him at his blog, and here are two articles.

If anyone else has requests, please let us know. Otherwise, we will be busy eating boiled potatoes.

Klugman Questions

2006-02-07T11:40:00.000-08:00

Please post your Klugman questions in the comments this week, and we will answer them.

We want the world to know about Jack.

Honestly.

Joining In

2006-01-21T20:13:00.000-08:00

There seems to be a phenomenon on the Internet, and we are joining in.

Have fun.

Our Promise

2006-01-16T19:33:00.000-08:00

We, at the Church of Klugman, never to title posts with words such as "hot", "sexy", "nude", or "porn" in a cheap attempt to drive up hits on search engines.

We have too much integrity, and it would be insulting to Mr. Klugman.

Chuck Norris

2006-01-13T14:19:00.000-08:00

Recently, there's been a lot of attention to these random facts about Chuck Norris.

Just know one fact:

Jack Klugman could eat Chuck Norris for breakfast....with a side of ham, a porterhouse steak, and buttered rye toast, and wash it all down with bourbon.

Jack's Thoughts For the New Year

2006-01-05T09:51:00.000-08:00

Technically, these were offered in 2005, but some things to consider in the New Year.

Happy New Year!

2006-01-01T03:12:00.000-08:00

May 2006 bring you plenty of steak & bourbon.

Fun Klugman Fact

2005-12-26T07:28:00.000-08:00

Here's a fact that puts Klugman on the same page as Peter Falk and Bob Denver.

Although we think he's far superior to either guy.

Christmas With Klugman

2005-12-19T03:39:00.000-08:00

First, if you want to add our feed, please do so - here is the link. (Let us know if we should syndicate).

Also, if you want more Klugman news, click here, and someone added Jack to their home page.

More to come.

To Help Ease Your Confusion # 6

2005-12-09T05:10:00.000-08:00

Another in our continuing series:

This is Jack Klugman - actor, author, bon vivant, and all around swell guy. The kind of guy who deserves to have a blog of his own, and does, thanks to Major League Baseball.

This is Andy Martello, who is a comedian, juggles, and has a strange fascination with penguins. Plus, we have a video recommendation for him. He likes women, though, so that's OK.

This is Bono from the band U2. He also should watch this video.

One major difference - Jack doesn't smoke. That should tell you something right there.

Hope this has made a difference.

Jack Shares His Wisdom

2005-12-03T12:00:00.000-08:00

Please Answer This Question

2005-12-01T09:12:00.000-08:00

If superheroes can get their own stamps, why not Jack?

For the Newbie

2005-11-27T19:33:00.000-08:00

If you would like more information on Jack, check out

his entry in the Wikipedia
his entry in the Internet Movie Data Base
An event held by the Screen Actors' Guild
Jack's Who2 Profile, as well as
His status as a "hunky doc"

Trust us. You deserve to know.

Happy Thanksgiving

2005-11-22T22:54:00.000-08:00

Greetings,

We are off to celebrate Thanksgiving, so we encourage you to have a good holiday, and to enjoy plenty of turkey, steak, and bourbon.

We are also asking that this become the new standard Thanksgiving picture.

Ladies Man

2005-11-15T23:11:00.000-08:00

Plus, a funny site featuring a classic Klugman character.

Important News

2005-11-09T13:12:00.000-08:00

First, to the Blog This Pal guy - the great one will be in St. Louis. If you're not busy, you should attend.

Also, here is an article about Jack Klugman and nudity. No, it's not dirty.

To Help Ease Your Confusion # 5

2005-11-03T20:35:00.000-08:00

For all your unanswered questions:

This is Jack Klugman: actor, author, and divine muse. Obviously, you have excellent taste in character actors since you are visiting this site.

This is Mike Sterling, comics blogger, teen idol, and all around swell guy. Not the kind of guy you want to tussle with. Almost Klugmanian in his demeanor.

This is Gordon from Blog THIS Pal. We do not know what his problem is, but wish he had a better picture on his blog. Other than that, relatively harmless.

Finally, this is Cantinflas.

Hope this has helped, and thank you for visiting.

Murray the Cop

2005-11-01T20:54:00.000-08:00

He completes the trinity - not just the Great One, Mr. Jack Klugman. Not just the Divine Randall. We are here tonight to discuss Al Molinaro, aka "Murray the Cop"

Forget his appearance on Happy Days - it is on The Odd Couple where we see the brilliance of Mr. Molinaro. He is to Klugman and Randall what Harvey Keitel was to John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction.

We will worship Mr. Klugman later, but for right now, here is Al Molinaro.

Vic Tayback wishes he were Al Molinaro.

In Praise of Klugman

2005-10-28T15:48:00.000-07:00

Although this post makes good points, he forgets the secret of this show.

Jack Klugman.

It's that simple.

Double Blasphemy

2005-10-26T10:55:00.000-07:00

According to this news item from the Sci-Fi Channel (who canceled Farscape, which had the Klugman-esque D'Argo), plans are afoot to remake a Klugman classic.

We would like to know the name of the individual who dares tamper with greatness - not just one of the greatest Twilight Zone episodes ever made, but one of Klugman's greatest performances.

Is there no depth to the ignorance of Hollywood executives.

(We realize that is an Orson Welles quote).

We only hope that Mr. Klugman either gets a cameo, and/or a huge amount of money.

No steak and bourbon for Hollywood. None whatsoever.

Six Degrees of Klugman

2005-10-20T22:24:00.000-07:00

This is a game you can play when you are bored. Allegedly, you can trace any actor back to Kevin Bacon, who (to the best of our knowledge) is not made of bacon.

However, that seems rather lame, so we here at the Church of Klugman feel that, given Mr. Klugman's status as dramatic actor, comedic presence, and strong advocate, it is much better to play the Six Degrees of Klugman game. Any actor, taken at random, can be traced back to Klugman.

For example, Jonathon Frakes, aka "Commander Riker" on Star Trek: The Next Generation

Co-starred as a doctor on Quincy with our man, Jack Klugman

Meaning that 1) He is cool, 2) He has worked with our idol, and 3) he has one more Klugman point than Patrick Stewart.

(For more information about Quincy, click here)

Tom The Dog

2005-10-16T19:27:00.000-07:00

We do not know if he is a real dog, but Tom the Dog is reviewing fall shows.

He forced himself to watch Freddie Prinze, Jr.'s new sitcom.

In short, we can summarize it best - no Klugman, no joy.

It's that simple.

The Church of Fell

2005-10-12T21:00:00.000-07:00

We consider this to be a blasphemous site, but since many people confuse Mr. Fell with Mr. Klugman, that is probably to be expected.

Plus, it has a picture of Mr. Roper in a silly hat.

To Help Ease Your Confusion # 4

2005-10-10T07:35:00.000-07:00

Here's another part of our educational series:

This is Jack Klugman, the object of our worship.

This is Gordon something-or-other, pop culture blogger,
and well-known tough guy.

This is Joe Don Baker, respected character actor.

If you have questions, please ask them in the comments.

Amongst Civilians

2005-10-08T11:23:00.000-07:00

Never let it be said that Mr. Klugman is hungry for publicity - witness this brief blurb about how he uses anonymity.

That does not, however, take away from his accomplishments.

New Book

2005-10-03T14:50:00.000-07:00

The Great One Has a new book out, as evidenced by his recent appearance at a publisher's fair.

We strongly encourage everyone to head to their local book store and purchase this book. The cover is attached alongside this post - we will not earn money off Mr. Klugman by doing an affiliate link. Support your local bookstore!

However, we would like to note that Mr. Klugman has done some of the writing, unlike a Canadian actor who bullied his name onto bad fan fiction. (And as we encourage all of our acolytes - just say no to fan fiction).

If you have a problem with this, we suggest you swallow it along with your Cookie Crisp cereal.

Thank you, and please feel free to comment and/or return. Especially our friends in Canada.

Big in Canada

2005-09-27T11:04:00.000-07:00

According to our statistics, 3/4 of all visitors to this site are from Canada.

First, our thanks to this site for spreading the news.

Second, hello Canadians!

Thank you for the Kids in the Hall and the Frantics.

However, we are returning William Shatner. He is rather annoying, and he once insulted Wil Wheaton. This blog is definitely pro-Wil Wheaton.

Finally, we mourn the passing of Don Adams, which we stole from this blog. Please send this guy (whose name we cannot pronounce, and which should be changed) plenty of steak & bourbon.

Klugman On The Internet

2005-09-25T15:57:00.000-07:00

First, to investigate the musical genius of Jack Klugman, visit this site.

Also, this gentleman takes his inspiration from the Great Klugman.

If you think this template is not appropriate, please let us know. We want to promote Jack's work. He is worth it.

To Help Ease Your Confusion # 3

2005-09-19T20:36:00.000-07:00

This is part of our continuing series:

This is Jack Klugman, the sole object of our worship.

This is Mike Sterling, comics blogger, fanfiction author, and "one bad mutha".

This is Norman Fell.

These are all three separate men.

Hope this helps clarify things.

Klugman Vs. Shatner

2005-09-16T13:21:00.000-07:00

Here is our objective evaluation of two major icons: Jack Klugman and William Shatner. Please feel free to take notes.

Starship captaincy:

Shatner: 79 episodes of Star Trek, plus seven movies
Klugman: "Death Ship" in The Twilight Zone

Winner: Shatner, but only by a technicality

Positive Image of Law Enforcement

Shatner: TJ Hooker, playing a cop

Klugman: Quincy, playing a medical examiner 20 years before CSI

Winner: Klugman

Twilight Zone appearances:

Shatner - 2 (Nick of Time, Nightmare at 20,000 Feet)

Klugman - 4 (A Passage For Trumpet, A Game of Pool, Death Ship, In Praise of Pip).

Winner - Klugman

Sidekick

Shatner - Leonard Nimoy, annoying dude

Klugman - Tony Randall, not-so-annoying dude

Winner - Klugman

Head covering

Shatner - bad toupee

Klugman - hat

Winner - Klugman

Smells like:

Shatner - "lamb sausage" (according to James Spader)
Klugman - steak and bourbon, with a slight hint of Aqua Velva

Winner - Klugman

So, for all of you Shatner fans, although we admire his work, let's face it - he's no Jack Klugman.

Now go deal. Seriously.

Jack Klugman.

2005-09-15T10:45:00.000-07:00

Our intention is to do for Jack Klugman what Zombie Tom does for brains.

Jack Klugman!

Jack Klugman!

You get the picture.

Coming Soon

2005-09-14T07:21:00.000-07:00

In a future post, we will discuss Jack Klugman versus another pop culture icon, William Shatner.

Part of it is the behavior or Mr. Shatner's fans - let's face it, no self-respecting member of our church would call Mr. Klugman "the Klug", or refer to its members as "Klugmaniacs."

We will give Shatnerians the intellectual pimp-slapping they royally deserve.

A Deserved Honor

2005-09-13T09:37:00.000-07:00

Jack Klugman from Carnegie Mellon.

O, Holy Day!

Now, we must eat soup.

A Month of Klugman

2005-09-11T20:48:00.000-07:00

If you wish to worship the Great Klugman in September, check this site for opportunities to do so.

Also, please dig our new template. We changed it because we could, and also because we were experiencing a sugar rush due to Little Debbie snack cakes. Those Fudge Rounds are extremely delectable.

Mike Sterling

2005-09-08T09:46:00.000-07:00

We would like to congratulate Mike Sterling on his 1000th post, and hereby want to issue the following public service announcement:

Just say no to fan fiction.

It's what Jack would do.

Anti-Klugman

2005-09-05T05:17:00.000-07:00

Beware the Anti-Klugman.

Look upon his face with fear.

Happy Labor Day.

To Ease Your Confusion # 2

2005-09-02T06:55:00.000-07:00

Another in our continuing series:

This blog is the blog of the Church of Klugman.

This blog is the blog of the Incredible Hulk.

Although they look alike, Jack Klugman is not the Hulk.

Please, Hulk, do not smash us. We will buy you all the Red Bull you can consume.

Hurricane Katrina

2005-08-31T08:03:00.000-07:00

Please keep the people affected by Hurricane Katrina in your thoughts and prayers.

It's what Jack would do.

Thank You, Greg

2005-08-28T19:38:00.000-07:00

We would like to thank Greg at Delenda Est Carthago for linking to us without us having to bribe him for the privilege.

We agree that women should not be allowed to vote, and hope someone sends him plenty of steak and bourboun.

Also, Quincy is available on DVD. Please purchase it and watch it, if only to catch Klugman in his prime.

In Praise of Pip

2005-08-27T10:11:00.000-07:00

In a different, better world, Jack Klugman would have played Dr. Smith on Lost in Space.

Church Endorsement

2005-08-26T06:50:00.000-07:00

This blog heartily endorses Blog THIS, Pal!, but we are unsure why we are doing so.

To Help Ease Your Confusion

2005-08-24T20:09:00.000-07:00

As a public service, we are posting the following:

This is Jack Klugman, actor, spokesperson, and main subject of this blog.

This is Norman Fell, who not only played Mr. Roper on Three's Company, but also had the Jack Klugman role in Ocean's Eleven.

There's often quite a bit of confusion about these two actors (which is natural, since both were born in Philadelphia), and we hope this post has helped those who were still confused.

For more information, please e-mail us at churchofklugman@gmail.com.

Thank you for your support.

More wisdom to come.

Profound Truth

2005-08-23T08:04:00.000-07:00

Even though the Great Klugman made a guest appearance on Crossing Jordan, it does not even make it worthy. (However, Jill Hennessy is still rather yummy)

Quincy absolutely rocks!

Zombies

2005-08-22T18:23:00.000-07:00

The Church of Klugman heartily endorses Zombie Tom and, for equal time, Zombie Killer.

Jack Klugman has never appeared in a zombie movie, and does not want his brains eaten.

Jack's Greatest Performance

2005-08-21T18:22:00.000-07:00

For those who are true believers, we encourage you to order and view Scene Smoking, which is Mr. Klugman's greatest performance.

Well, that and "A Passage for Trumpet".

Welcome To The Church of Klugman

2005-08-20T11:42:00.000-07:00

In this troubled time - a time of popes, of couch-jumping Scientologists, and of unrest, the world is crying out for a spiritual renewal.

It is in that spirit that we have created the 21st Century church - the Church of Klugman.

Why Jack Klugman, you ask? For several reasons:

He has made us laugh (in The Odd Couple);
He has made us think (in Quincy)
He has appeared in the most number of Twilight Zone episodes, alongside Burgess Meredith;
Ain't no way we're doing a "Church of Meredith"

So welcome, take your shoes off, and let us begin to worship the man, the myth, the legend that is...Jack Klugman.
