TIM ALLEN SAID "NO"!

I love the new ABC series staring Michigander Tim Allen "LAST MAN STANDING"....

I was also an early Tim Allen fan when he did his first series back in the 90s "Home Improvment"...

I can remember the first time I caught Tim on "Home Improvment"....It was when the Michigan Magazine crew was on location at the "Shrine of The Pines" near Baldwin..

We were spending the night at the shrine as guests after spending the day filming this landmark and interviewing the museum director Pat Sweet...

We had just finished dinner and were watching the "telly" when the show came on...It was in it's first season...

I was taken back by the fact that the series was about a Michigan family where the husband / Father was a local Cable Television star....

I loved it when I could relate to Tim's situations....

I was truly saddened when the series finally left the air....BUT I was delighted to find Tim Allen's lastest venture into a weekly series...Last Man Standing....

The show is similar to "Home Improvment" in a quirky way, but it's based in Denver instead of Detroit and Tim has three daughters instead of 3 sons...

I know Tim is a big Michigan promoter, not only as the voice of the "Pure Michigan" campaign but in "real life"

He's always got something nice to say about his home state & his fellow Michigander...

If you're a fan of Tim's work, as I am, I think you'll enjoy this little clip of his recent interview with PBS as he opens up about the fact that his venture into a weekly television series was almost abandoned when Tim said "No"...

THE SUCCESS OF MICHIGAN BUSINESS...A Story Or Two To Tell!

Michigan Magazine TV is on the road in an aggresive attempt to spread the word that new and established small town businesses throughout the state area alive and well.

Some are even thriving.

Of course there are some small Michigan based businesses hat are feeling the pinch BUT most of those are struggling simply because potential customers are not aware of thier exsistance!

That's where Michigan Magazine TV is hoping to help make the difference in conjunction with the efforts of local drives to get the word out!

Besides the dynamic stories new or established "local businesses" are telling our "National" weekly Michigan Magazine TV audience.....We are offering these businesses national as well as state wide television advertising at incredably affordable prices!

Check out this video "walk through" of some of the vendors and patrons in attendance....amazing!

Just North of Ogemaw County is Oscoda County where the story seems to be the same with the locals anxious to get the word out and Michigan Magazine TV is hoping to oblige!

Oscoda County Business is alive and well as Michigan Magazine TV hits the roads getting the story behind the stories of established and new business in this N. Michigan county!

Remembering SPRING BREAK of the 60s

Things have changed quite a bit from the early Spring Breaks...

Who remembers when this movie was considered a "true" depiction of the "risque" behavior on the beaches of Florida during Spring Break!

Parents thought it couldn't get any wilder!

Boy were THEY wrong...........Sigh....

For those of you who remember spring breaks of the 60s....enjoy
