Comic-Con 2016: Day Four
I can't believe it's the last day of Comic-Con, but in part that is because I am too exhausted to muster the energy to think about it. More coming, including pictures of some of my favorite costumes, but for now, some of what I did today:
Got my picture taken in a Walking Dead crashed plane, being attacked by zombies,
Attended a panel led by my dear friends the Winner Twins, Brittany and Brianna Winner, award-winning novelists whose first book was...

Comic-Con 2016: Production Designers and Women Rocking Hollywood
On Day 3 of Comic-Con 2016, I:
Attended a panel of production designers whose work ranged from "The Avengers" to "Justified," "True Blood," and "America's Top Model," and learned that one of the most important distinctions between designing for movies and designing for television is: doors. For a movie, the entire story is spelled out so you know everything you will need for entrances and exits. But television series go on (if they're lucky) for years, and you never know when you'll need...

Comic-Con 2016: Big Bang Theory and Sharknado 4
On Day 2 of San Diego Comic-Con, I:
Attended a panel of writers and producers for one of my favorite television shows, "The Big Bang Theory," moderated by Melissa Rauch, who plays Bernadette. The writers are genuine fanboys -- and one fangirl -- and spoke about how some of their own experiences and obsessions become a part of the show. And they revealed a new guest star, who came out on stage to greet us: "30 Rock's" Jack McBrayer, who will play Penny's brother. Katey Sagal will be...

Comic-Con 2016: Preview Night
Wednesday is always preview night at Comic-Con, a chance to explore the Exhibition Hall, where you can get glimpses of new television shows, movies, and games, and buy just about any household item or article of clothing with your favorite superhero on it. You can also get a sneak peek at full episodes of some upcoming television shows. I watched "Riverdale," with the Archie Comics characters in a story that is more like "Twin Peaks" or "Pretty Little Liars." "90210's" Luke Perry even...

Tribute: Garry Marshall
We mourn the loss of writer/director/actor Garry Marshall, who died this week at age 81. Marshall gave "Happy Days," "Mork and Mindy," "Laverne and Shirley," "Pretty Woman," "The Princess Diaries," and, as an actor, unforgettable performances in films like "Soapdish," "A League of Our Own" (directed by his sister, Penny Marshall), and "Lost in America." He began as a writer for my all-time favorite television series, "The Dick Van Dyke Show." No one was better at discovering and supporting new...
