"But then there was their Higgins. I know he was sick that night and all, but... well, Eliza and Pickering were great!
TOTD: I am not a party person. I think more than 4 is a crowd. I need to be harangued to turn up at a party.
For my 60th Birthday party in December I am only inviting myself (maybe DP Colin will be there!).
The question once again is: What is the biggest party you've ever thrown. What was it for, how many people, what was served.
After Jed saw the show, he wrote:He didn't seem sick tonight, but otherwise I totally agree. ;) Well, really he just annoyed me. He wasn't bad, just not right. And he was too old. Higgins isn't supposed to be old enough to be her grandfather. ::)
DR ELMORE - doing Community Theatre can do that to a guy....believe me.
DR Jrand - Let's just say the way I use the Special K bars, they're not part of a diet. They just taste good. :)
The Stolen Costume episode has come in for same negative comments you wrote about DR MATTH on different review sites. There has also been some consternation that some of the episodes have the later season closing credits and that NONE of the episodes have the "Preview of Next Episode" that was included during the first season.
It would be funnier if it weren't true, DR ELMORE....oh my.
Pleasant Tab Hunter interview by Forrest Elliott - who is now Special Correspondent on Breakfast With the Arts....I liked the show better when he was the main person instead of this "girl" they have now. Tab looks very good, and was promoting his book, but seemed a nice type of guy. Anyone read the book?
And the word of the day is: HARANGUE!I think a lemon harangue pie would be too bitter to eat.
Just in case you didn't know, DR MATTH, and any other interested readers.
Early Superman episodes and later The Andy Griffith Show were both filmed on the "back 40" of the old Pathe/RKO/Desilu lot.
Here are some interesting screen shots of both shows. ;D

I'm also wondering if the next boxed set, Season 2 that introduces Noel Neill as Lois and is the last season in black and white, will contain "Stamp Day for Superman"?
Der B offers this for the Word of the Day:
Quasimodo had a steady job. Every day, harangue da bells.
Important questions to say the least! 8)
And of course season two is the last one of 26 episodes. Subsequently season 3, 4, 5, and 6 only had 13 original episodes.
Tara is supposed to show up in THE MIND MACHINE in a shot or two.
MIDNIGHT LACE is rife with red herrings. Doris is not photographed to look her youngest and best, but she is dressed beautifully....And red herrings are a great substitute for bugle beads!

Watching THE FRENCH LINE on TCM.
Leading men whose message I do NOT get:
Gilbert Roland
Robert Ryan
Joseph Capanella
I am looking forward to SUPERMAN AND THE MOLE MEN today. Never having seen this feature version, I'm going to be looking for any scenes that weren't in the TV two-part version.

In defense of our Higgins (why am I defending him?), he is only 51 years old. Our Eliza is 29. Also, he has suffered for the last year with colon cancer, and the effects of chemo on his system. Not that this explains his acting talents, or lack of them; but does help to explain his rather gaunt appearance.
The question once again is: What is the biggest party you've ever thrown. What was it for, how many people, what was served.
I was living on campus at Western Washington University and my suite-mates knew that my 21st birthday was coming up. So we all planned this party and made invitations and a lot of people showed up (including many that I had never met before). We put on the invitation that we were going to have a Disco Birthday party for me (I still had several Donna Summer albums...yes, this was in 1987 when vinyl still existed) and that gifts were not required but key chains (which I did and still do collect) were requested. And since I was the only 21-year-old in the suite, I had to buy the keg of beer. I didn't have to pay for it, just get it.
So we had the party and no one threw up and we didn't get into any kind of trouble. I didn't (and still don't) drink, but that night I forced myself to drink a large-ish cup o' beer. It took me all night and I never even got a little buzz, but I drank it. For the gifts, I got a lot of key chains, some even homemade, most of which I still have in boxes my extra bedroom.
I'm up, I'm up - apparently I was TIRED!
Hey, elmore, didn't I have a somewhat amusing Thanksgiving dinner when I was in town doing Unsung Musicals and two other albums - at Marshall Mason's apartment, which I was subletting.
Yes, dear friend, you did! It was a strange gathering of folk as I recall.A gathering of strange folk perhaps.

I am in the mood for some lunch and some Clint Walker.
Its dark and wind is starting to blow. The rains will be coming soon. If you don't hear from me it may be that there is no electricity.
TPunk and I have only had one major party in this here dwelling. Maybe 25 people were here for a dual birthday party for myself and the drummer in my band. We have decent space here in the boondocks.
Michael S. and Danise, be careful and safe!!!
Thank you as well, MBarnum!
...I made cheese enchiladas and the rest of the meal was supplemented by the guests....Jane! You ate the guests? Golly gee, when you and Keith go off the wagon you really go whole hog (so to speak)!!!
DR Jane: What is a "Mar" Mitzvah?
Danise if your power is out feel free to call & let me know all is well. I will then post the good news.
I'm watching State Fair, starring Miss Ann-Margret.
You know, I have never seen either version of STATE FAIR....am I missing something good?
I am my own frenzy!I have it on good authority that Marni Nixon dubbed for Lana Turner in "Singin' in the Rain."
Help me out here, Ron!
Looks like Jose is trying to catch up.
Certainly he isn't aware I'm writing about him.
What the...???I actually flew NORTH BY NORTHWEST. . .lovely movie. Has DR Pogue seen it yet? ? ? ?
T.D. asked me to help him with his frenzy.
I did, and what did he do?
He skedaddled, that's what!
Flaked out on me.
Flew the coop!
Yes, a friend of mine and I threw a joint party for Rodzinski and her husband. Killbot of course thought the party was for her and basked in the company.
We served a cold cut platter, pasta salad and I made a ginormous 7-layer dip. A good time was had by all. I would guess about 25-35 people attended. Not bad for a NYC apartment.
God, I hope someone will explain that one to me.
