Cindy would be a great Sheila.....

"Don't you know the combination, Sheila?"

"I knew it when I was in front."

I put in "Anne of Cleves" from THE SIX WIVES OF HENRY VIII. This has always been my least favorite episode from the series, but since I had seen the others many times and this one only a couple, I thought I might give it another chance. It's not at all bad, of course, but the lack of drama just makes it come out on the bottom of the episodes for me.

Well, would have been. I think she's a little old for it now.

Watched another ATOM MAN VS. SUPERMAN episode. Lois got saved from falling out of the burning building by SUperman. By the end of the episode, she and Jimmy are trapped in a burning room.

I like Tommy Bond as Jimmy....he wears those cool hats that Jack Larson never got to wear on Television.

And Noel wears BIG BIG BIG hats, bigger than her head.....

I watched another MOONLIGHTING episode. In order to give Cybill and Bruce basically a week or so off, the episode centered on Agnes Dipesto. Entitled "North by North Dipesto," she gets wrapped up in espionage without knowing what's going on. And in her usual addled state of mind, she was more confused than ever and a total victim throughout which made the episode kind of irritating.

He seems like he's playing a little more mature Jimmy than Jack Larson played. He can even fly an airplane.

Pierre Watkin plays Perry White in the serials. When SUPERMAN (the TV series) was renewed for a seventh season, John Hamilton (Perry White) died before production started (so, inevitably, did George Reeves). Pierre had been hired to reprise HIS version of Perry White for the seventh season.

I watched another serial episode. Superman saves Jimmy and Lois from the burning building. However, later in the episode, Lois is knocked unconscious and is in a runaway car heading for a cliff!

As was happening last week, my mail hadn't come during my afternoon viewing time, so I just watched HENRY VIII, the SUPERMAN serial and one MOONLIGHTING episode. Hopefully, those musicals will be there when I go back downstairs later.

I had looked it up..it is the same writer. I've never read any of his books but I like the short stories I've read in sci-fi anthologies.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fredric_Brown

I haven't read everything by Fredric Brown, but I've really loved what I have read...which has mostly been his science fiction and short stories. I used to have a copy of the short story collection, "Space On My Hands" that had the top of a nude woman and instead of legs, she had fingers.

I haven't been able to find a picture of it on-line but if I remember correctly, the picture has absolutely nothing to do with any of the stories.

I like the title! Different cover,though...

Edisaurus · « **Reply #196 on:** July 23, 2007, 01:31:02 PM »

And speaking of legs, this cover is a direct rip-off of Hieronymous Bosch's version of hell. (OR was it heaven?)

thanks to MR BK DR CP and DR EDISAURUS for educating me on Mr Fredric Brown.....author of THE CASE OF THE DANCING SANDWICHES.

I don't feel qualified to comment on this title. I know more about Dancing Sandwiches than I do about Honeymoons.

OK...I thought it was inspired by... but they actually must have licensed the painting.

THE STAR MOUSE is one of my favorite of Brown's stories.

Tihs was a book I bought because I liked the cover, and led me into years of reading Ellison and other sci-fi/speci ficiton authors.

I've been lazy. Just about finished proofing, and have entered all fixes into the master Brain script - David highlighted changes in some way I can't figure out how to get rid of - anyone have any clews? In other words, he didn't do it how you would normally do it, from the Word menu bar - the shades are completely different.

I had a Subway Club for lunch. I picked up a package filled with DVD goodies - the same source (and final batch, since he's no longer working where he was) that got me all those wonderful DVD rarities of films that may or may not ever come out on DVD, all in glorious 16x9 transfers. I'm watching Under The Yum Yum Tree right now. For those who read Kritzer Time, you know that I used to love this play, even though it's smarminess is completely unacceptable in these times, and it's horribly dated. But I never loved the film version because it's opened up so much, and because Jack Lemmon just isn't as good as any of the people I saw do his role, which included Del Moore and Richard Erdman, amongst others. Dean Jones is fine as the younger fellow (played mostly by Bill Bixby the many times I saw the show), and Carol Lynley is very pretty - she was at the Hollywood Collector's Show this past weekend and if you didn't know it was her you wouldn't know it was her.
