DR JRand-I don’t think I will be watching WIFE/SWAP any time in the near future.

I will look for the commercial elsewhere.

Jose-Good news about your wallet.

LOL.....it's not what it sounds like. But at least now you know which product to look for.

Yes, thank you.

I hope I can find it. The dog has got to be a real cutie.

Edi-Danise stayed at the Milford Plaza her first trip out. She managed to change from one [size=0]small[/size] room with a shower to another [size=0]small [/size] room with a bath. Seems you can only have one or the other. I think she preferred the Comfort Inn where her room was larger than mine, Ginny’s or Cilla’s.

And I learned from her and from one of my co-workers that if you ask at the CI for a front room (one that faces 46th St) it's much larger. However, the floodlights on the front of The Muse create an interesting nightlight effect...

Ice cream with Hershey's Special Dark Syrup and figure skating on TV have improved my mood immensely. Tomorrow I get to have my hair cut and go sell books for AAUW for 4 hours.

DR Sandra taught them that elegant ladies like ourselves "visit the necessary." We do not "pee."

And if you are in the car, you have to check the air in the rear tire.

DR LAURA which song did you choose?

A short scene from the musical 1776:

Charles Thomson: [calling for a vote]
Where's Rhode Island?

Andrew McNair:
Rhode Island's out visitin' the necessary.

John Hancock:
Well, after what Rhode Island has consumed, I can't say I'm surprised. We'll come back to him, Mr. Thompson.

Charles Thomson:
Rhode Island passes. [Roar of laughter from the Congress]

End.

And on this day (March 16) in 1969, the original production of 1776 opened on Broadway! What a coinky dink!!

Yes he was quite memorable. I have been trying to find out who he is. Babs never calls him by name in song and there are other uncredited dancers including the guy who played Ice in West Side Story. (IAN TUCKER) Who see him for about 10 seconds in the Sunday Clothes number. He is on the train.

Anyone know who the blond dancer with glasses is?

I don't know who he is, but isn't it Tucker Smith who played Ice in WEST SIDE STORY and can be glimpsed among the ensembles in the movies of HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS and HELLO, DOLLY!

Oh, I see bk already corrected the name in an earlier post.

I've stayed at the Milford Plaza several times. Yes, the rooms are not large, but I had no problem with them and would stay there again if needed. I prefer the Edison.

I began my evening with the third Luci-Desi adventure - "Lucy Hunts Uranium." Not a great show, but the change in Lucy's hairstyle is striking. June Haver looked lovely.

Next, I put in WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY. I hadn't watched this in a long, long time. The transfer on the 30th Anniversary Edition probably mirrored the way the movie looked when it was first released with some good color but overly grainy for much of the film. At least it's an enhanced transfer, and the surround sound is nice for a film this old.

Matt H. · « **Reply #437 on:** March 16, 2007, 09:33:35 PM »

I finshed the evening starting "The Plymouth Express" from POIROT set #4. Obviously taken from an old videotape master, it looks grainy and dull (some of the later ones look so much better), but I'm glad to have all of the one hour episodes. They're so much fun.

Tomorrow, I'll get to some of the other TV I recorded on Thursday that I didn't get to today.

SLATE

Quote

Noir America
CYNICS, SLUTS, HEISTS, AND MURDER MOST FOUL.
By Stanley Crouch
...
Barbara Stanwyck, Claire Trevor, Jane Greer, and Peggy Cummins are each but separately the brilliant stars of Double Indemnity; Murder, My Sweet; Out of the Past; and Gun Crazy. They are the essential film noir amalgamations of Eve, Salome, and Carmen: there to bring men down through the pulsating syncopations of their glistening orifices.

...

Let's all give it up for the "pulsating, glistening orifices'!

Today was a really good day at preschool. All the little whippersnappers were very well-behaved, and I hate to say it, but it's because Brody wasn't there. He's the class clown, and he can't resist an audience. Some day, that kid is going to be a prop comic or something of that ilk, but for now he's driving me crazy!

OK---what do we think of the Milford Plaza? I stayed there about 15 years ago and it was kind of a Section 8 dive, but I hear it may have improved. Any thoughts? (average rate $180/night...)

I shall not comment.

I love the place, but Danise hated it.

It is a tourist hotel.

We saw part of HELLO DOLLY on TV recently. My DH was amazed by this incredibly tall guy who was dancing. He had never heard of Tommy Tune. (I'm working on his musical theatre education.)

I saw TT in some touring show back in the 70's...can't remember what, but my friend was stage manager so I got to meet TT backstage and he was very nice to me and my mom. (We got to meet Rock Hudson, when he was touring with CAMELOT, too.)

Was it SEESAW?
