🎬 RET TV RIP
Robert Duvall
Not a movie star — an actor 🎭
The kind who could dominate a scene without raising his voice
and break your heart without asking for sympathy 💔
From consigliere calm
to battlefield thunder
to country-song loneliness
he made every role feel lived-in, not performed.
They don’t really make actors like this anymore.
Thank you for the realism.
Thank you for the restraint.
Thank you for the humanity.

🎭📺✨ RET TV FAMILY NEWS ✨📺🎭
Some television names don’t fade with time.
They grow with it.
Kathy Garver — forever Cissy from Family Affair — received a 2026 Grammy nomination not for acting…
…but for storytelling. 🎙️📖
She was nominated in the category:
🏆 Best Audio Book, Narration & Storytelling Recording
For her narration of the memoir:
Elvis, Rocky & Me by Carol Connors
And while the award ultimately went to the Dalai Lama, Kathy shared this afterward:
“I want to thank all my friends and family who cheered me on…
we all stood strong with the good grace of a job done well…
I received that lovely gold medallion from Tiffany’s and the Recording Academy…
I love you all so much…”
🌺💕🕊️
Grace. Gratitude. Class.
At a time when many of her television peers are remembered in retrospectives, Kathy is still creating new work worthy of industry recognition.
That’s RET. ✨
That’s legacy. 🌟
That’s why she’s RET TV family. 💛👏
Have you ever listened to Kathy’s narration work?

🎂 RET TV Birthday Tribute — Gary Coleman
February 8 we celebrate a face, a voice, and a catchphrase that instantly time-travels you to the golden glow of prime-time television.
📺✨
Before memes… before GIFs… before viral clips…
There was a little guy with perfect timing who could steal a scene with one look.
Arnold Jackson on Diff'rent Strokes wasn’t just a character.
He was appointment television.
🧥 Red sweater.
🗯️ “Whatchu talkin’ ’bout, Willis?”
😂 Studio audience in stitches.
🏠 America gathered around the set.
Gary Coleman became one of the most recognizable child stars in television history — not because he was loud… but because his reactions, his rhythm, and his charm were perfectly tuned for the sitcom era RET TV loves.
He reminded us of something special about classic TV:
Big laughs.
Simple sets.
Real timing.
And characters you felt like you knew.
Tonight, if you hear that catchphrase in your head, don’t fight it.
That’s RET TV magic working.
🎉 Happy Birthday, Gary.
Thank you for the laughs that never age.
