Roarke is a fictional character from the series In Death. He is the husband of Lt. Eve Dallas and together, they are the main characters of the futuristic (circa 2058 AD) romance-mystery series by J.D. Robb, pseudonym for NY Times best-selling author Nora Roberts. A former career criminal, Roarke is the owner and CEO of Roarke Industries, an inter-planetary corporation that has made him one of the richest men in the world.
Roarke is in his mid-thirties; he is an immigrant from Dublin, Ireland; in NYC, he is the CEO of Roarke Industries, and one of the richest men in the world, possibly the richest. He owns an old mansion off Central Park he remodeled to his specifications with very high tech security. Also in the home is his own personal collection of firearms, which are illegal in 2058 unless one possesses a collector's license. Roarke also owns maces, swords, daggers, medieval armor, and other assorted weapons. He is quite skilled in electronics and can dismantle any type of security, lock, or coding, as well as hacking into any electronic database—including but not limited to the FBI, Interpol, and Homeland Security.
distinguish|broadcast programming}}
A television program is a segment of content intended for broadcast on vision, other than a commercial, trailer, or any other segment of content not serving as attraction for viewership. It may be a single production, or more commonly, a series of related productions (also called a television series).
A television series that is intended to comprise a limited number of episodes may be called a miniseries or serial. Series without a fixed length are usually divided into seasons or series, yearly or semiannual sets of new episodes. While there is no defined length, US industry practice tends to favor longer seasons than those of some other countries.
A one-time broadcast may be called a "special," or particularly in the UK a "special episode." A television film ("made-for-TV movie" or "television movie"), is a film that is initially broadcast on television rather than released in theaters or direct-to-video.
A program can be either recorded, as on video tape, other various electronic media forms, played with an on-demand player or viewed on live television.

Melanie Chartoff (born December 15, 1950) is an American actress and voice actress. She first became famous for her comedy work on the ABC series Fridays (1980–82), and in the 1990s Fox sitcom Parker Lewis Can't Lose. She voiced both Didi Pickles and Grandma Minka on the animated series Rugrats.
Chartoff was born on December 15, 1950, in New Haven, Connecticut, and attended West Haven High School. She went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts from Adelphi University.
She guest starred on ABC Family's Switched at Birth (2015). Her first Broadway appearances were in Galt MacDermot's space opera, Via Galactica(1972), directed by Peter Hall, and The Young Vic's Scapino, starring Jim Dale (1974).
Chartoff's first TV role came in 1976 when she played a nurse on Search For Tomorrow, after which came an appearance in the 1978 motion picture American Hot Wax. She first became a nationally known figure on ABC's Fridays, which was ABC's attempt to create its own version of Saturday Night Live. She immediately stood out on the series, partly thanks to her regular role as the anchor on the show's fake newscasts, but also due to her comedic skills (particularly an impression of Nancy Reagan). On one sketch, she was cold-cocked on live TV when co-star Mary Edith Burrell failed to pull her punch during a skit and chipped a tooth.

Here is a classic episode of ABC's short lived answer to Saturday Night Live, starring Mark Blankfield, Maryedith Burrell, Melanie Chartoff, Larry David, Darrow Igus, Brandis Kemp, Bruce Mahler, Michael Richards, and John Roarke. Although Richards ended up with a starring role later on in Seinfeld, the lack of a big breakthrough star and with NBC still providing better late night fare (Tonight Show, Midnight Special, and later SCTV), the show was cancelled in October 1982. David Naughton and Billy and the Beaters are tonight's musical guests.

A speech made by Ellsworth Toohey to Peter Keating in a moment of brutal honesty and disgust. A villain, seen by many as a hero, details how he achieves a form of selfless status and power while robbing men of their virtue and integrity. Here, it is revealed how power is ultimately achieved and maintained in the sociopolitical discourse of human events through the corruption of man's character and desire for moral purpose. This excerpt is from The Fountainhead, a novel by Ayn Rand.

Episódio 7 A série mostrava o misterioso Senhor Roarke, um homem que supostamente podia fazer os desejos das pessoas se tornarem realidade, auxiliado pelo anão Tattoo. A história da origem do Senhor Roarke nunca foi revelada. Nem o público nem os visitantes nunca souberam como o Senhor Roarke chegou à ilha ou qual era o poder que lhe permitia garantir a realização das fantasias. Por 50.000 dólares belos e ricos hóspedes podiam passar uma temporada no paraíso tropical chamado “Ilha da Fantasia”. Cada episódio iniciava com o Tatoo tocando o sino e gritando “Olha o avião ! Olha o avião!”. Este era o sinal para Mr. Roarke sair e os dois (sempre vestidos igualmente de smokings brancos) saudarem os ansiosos convidados quando eles descessem do avião. Enquanto os convidados recebiam as regras, Mr....

Basking in the afterglow of the ever-sinister "Sakizuki," which sees quite a few tantalizing developments in the greatest, uhm, "love" story ever told. ;-) Hannibal's feeling friendly, frisky, and a bit flustered as he courts the vulnerable yet snarky Will, admires the work of a fellow artist, and finds himself scorned by his leading lady. Meanwhile, Will continues to have a variety of human and less-than-human encounters (from would-be pissing matches to makin' designs) as he massages his brain into shape and chooses to stay on the course of proving his innocence. What more could we want!? We're taking things to court next week, so stick around and stay as beautiful as you are. ;-) Cheers, and thank you for watching!
