If you’re a child of the nineties, chances are you grew up loving Sinbad. Also known as David Atkins, Sinbad began his comedy career as a contestant on Star Search before nabbing his breakout role on the Cosby Show spin-off, A Different World, where he played Coach Walter Oakes; he served as a mentor to the main cast, who all played students at the fictional Hillman College. His distinctive look made him instantly identifiable, and it wasn’t long before he started showing up in movies, with roles in Necessary Roughness and Coneheads.
His career was unusual because most people went to TV after their movie careers cooled down. For Sinbad, it was the opposite. His solo TV show, The Sinbad Show, was a flop, but shortly afterwards, his movie career went into high gear, with him appearing in a string of hit movies. His biggest hit was Houseguest opposite the late Phil Hartman,...

After last week’s disappointing Winston Churchill installment — sorry about the lack of recap! Loved those colorful Daleks, though! — Doctor Who got back on track last night in a major way, combining one of the show’s most terrifying baddies (the Weeping Angels) and one of its jauntiest space travelers (Alex Kingston’s River Song). I loved the episode intro, with “Professor” Song communicating over a 12,000 year time gap using a spacecraft “home box” and a surveillance camera. Watching her float out the airlock, into outer space, and onto the Tardis was an absolute hoot. The lady knows how to make an entrance!
