TOD - My answer has to be The Mickey Mouse Club, not so much because I remember it, but because of a story my mom tells about how our family got its first TV. My dad swore there'd never be one in our home, but one day he came home from work and said to my mom, "Where are the girls?" My sister was at one neighbor's watching American Bandstand and I was at another neighbor's watching The Mickey Mouse Club. So, Dad decided if he was going to find his daughters at home, he'd let us have a TV.
Guess who became the biggest TV-watcher in the family?
Captain Kangaroo was my first "don't miss it" show -- watched it every morning as a little kid.
So did I, DR Miss Karen, along with Romper Room and Ding-Dong School.

The very first show that I ever saw on TV was, in fact, the very first episode of THE LONE RANGER.
I always watched that show, a well as SUPERMAN, HIGHWAY PATROL, HOPALONG CASSIDY, ROY ROGERS and HOWDY DOODY.
Back when I was a kid in Seattle, there was only 1 television station (Channel 5) for quite awhile, so viewing choices were limited.
At times, I think we even watched the test pattern.
[We kept waiting for the Indian to move.]

JMK, I think I would be tempted to tell him that you'll miss him and it's too bad he has to withdraw from the show because dress rehearsal is mandatory.
Soupy Sales told kids not to scratch when they had chicken pox or they'd end up looking like a golf ball. When I finally came down with chicken pox (in 7th grade - how humiliating!), I still remembered his advice.
Really? I've never heard her sing. I figured the voice was too good to actually be her! But if you say so, I'm gonna have to go with it being her own.
I'm guessing Keaton's was her own, as well. It "sounded" like her voice, only it was projected and on pitch.
Midler's voice seemed to come right out of her mouth, but Hawn's seemed somewhat detached.
Diane Keaton is/was a very good singer. She sings in ANNIE HALL and RADIO DAYS, very well in both. Of course, she did stage musicals (HAIR) early in her career, so I know she can sing.
Yes, I think it might have been wise to either rethink the cast of the MAMMA MIA men (none is exactly a box-office draw, so they could have used stage actors who could sing like Tom Wopat, Brent Barrett, Marc Kudisch), or hire dubbers if they were set of three men to be the actors who were cast.
I like the NYMF folk, and the show is in dire need of an MD ASAP. I had recommended our DR JoseS, but I don't think he's interested. The meeting went well, I think. I forgot, however, the package I had meant to post so I have a trip to the local post office in the next 30 minutes.
I have never bought this one meal a day and your metabolism slows down because it things you're starving business. I may eat one nice-sized meal a day, but I'm not starving, and I do have things like no-fat low-cal fruit popsicles later in the evening. And it's not like I didn't do this exact same regimen two years ago and I know exactly what I lost per week during that diet period. This is extremely frustrating. I'm going to keep running because I feel better for having jogged, but I'm not sure I can keep up this staying away from certain foods that I like if I'm not going to see results - that's just too annoying. This last two weeks has been a total waste for me, diet-wise. No, I didn't gain, but losing at the rate of a pound and a half every two weeks means I'll be on this diet for over a year before I'm where I want to be - it's never ever taken me more than three to four months to lose exactly what I wanted to lose and that includes two years ago.
BK - did you have to forego the TV pilot?
Unfortunately the way I've been instructed to write this show means that all the characters interact with each other and that would leave a big gaping hole in the proceedings.
David Gerber was the producer, and the director was the lovely Hy Averback.
TOD: I remember watching Wallace and Ladmo, a local children's show, which DR Kerry will remember.
Jennifer, a cool shower and some Gatoraid. Even better is Pedialyte.

*And I actually remember watching that TV special when it was first broadcast!
I don't get why family members who know i am allergic to perfume/cologne would pour it on around me.
I also begin our gruelling three days (yes you read that right) of rehearsals for this crazy revue I'm not only music directing, but also writing and directing. Oy. One of my "problem children" let me know yesterday that dress rehearsal was suddenly a problem (though it's been scheduled for months) because he wants to get in a full eight hour work day. Why did he accept the gig then? Not a rhetorical question. :)If he doesn't want to be committed to the revue, he should not have signed up in my opinion, if anyone wants it. :)
JMK, that guy doesn't read the HHW board, does he?
DP Colin and I also sponsor a Brown bear in memory of OzDerek.
My childhood was more "Radio".

JulieC40, did you find out whether you're seeing a show on Friday night?We don't have one planned as of yet but if there is anyway we can somehow find some last minute tickets to South Pacific, we would love to go to it!
....They had some really inexpensive cast albums - Legs Diamond for six bucks, The Nervous Set for eight bucks....
