DR singdaw:

I was informed I shouldn't drive for 24 hours, but I didn't swear it or sign a pledge not to.

I knew it wasn't advisable, but I was very desperate!  DESPERATE, I tell you.

Plus, traffic in this two-traffic-light-town isn't risky.  The (Don't-Be-A-Square-Eat-At-the) Triangle is a two-minute drive from my house.  I have to cross one main road to get there, but there are major traffic gaps along it that a drug-addled mind can navigate.

I had food in the house, of course, but I did not want to cook.

We had a new visitor this morning. Kristi says it's a baby barred owl. Barred is the type of owl. It's maybe 20 to 30 feet away from our window (I zoomed in about as far as my phone will go), and he's (or she's) huge, like, maybe a foot tall? I said that's a baby? What does the mother look like?? Even bigger apparently, like, up to twice that. Anyway, it was up there having a snooze, in the crisp morning 24 degrees Fahrenheit air.

DR FREDDIE Life With Lucy was wrong from the beginning - but it wasn't preachy like this is.....

This series gives us what must have been DT's opinions on what was happening NOW including - living together without being married [until the end of the episode of course], women's rights, teen girls staying out late, race relations [he hired Rosey Grier as his pianist and hilarity ensues including some shucking and jiving by Kathy and Linda, entertaining the boys with Bob Hope, all of Frank Sinatra's girlfriends, and more Uncle Tanoose - whose episodes I fast forward through.....etc etc etc.

The grandson just comes on now and then to lisp out something funny.....and runs upstairs.

For LIFE WITH LUCY, there was hilarious slapstick like Gale Gordon getting his tie stuck in something, and we at home worrying that he might just keel over before our eyes.

Bruce, does your auto insurance not cover rental cars when you have an accident that is not your fault?

If I wanted it, I would have to add it to my coverage at an additional cost.

Those Haagen-Dazs ice cream bars are the very ones I buy at Sam's Club (along with my Fat Boy ice cream sammiches).  I love them!!

We had a new visitor this morning. Kristi says it's a baby barred owl. Barred is the type of owl. It's maybe 20 to 30 feet away from our window (I zoomed in about as far as my phone will go), and he's (or she's) huge, like, maybe a foot tall? I said that's a baby? What does the mother look like?? Even bigger apparently, like, up to twice that. Anyway, it was up there having a snooze, in the crisp morning 24 degrees Fahrenheit air.

I revisited "Hair" this morning.

It wasn't "White Boys" who were delicious;  they were "pretty".

It was "Black Boys" who were delicious in that song!

And "Fat Boys" are just ice cream sandwiches.

Title: Re: GETTING IN THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT
Post by: George on December 04, 2024, 08:03:24 PM
Here's the description of the video:

Shinbone Alley was a 1957 Broadway musical adaptation of the characters of archy and mehitabel created by Don Marquis, written by Joe Darion, George Kleinsinger, and a young Mel Brooks who helped Darion with the book. Though the show only played for 49 performances and 9 previews on Broadway, it was adapted for the NTA Film Network's series Play of the Week in 1960. Tammy Grimes played Eartha Kitt's role, Eddie Bracken reprised his role as archy, and Michael Kermoyan, Sondra Lee and Jules Munshin were also in the cast. J. Robert Blum and Ed Greenberg directed the piece for TV.

Though no video is known to survive, there is audio of the musical numbers (and some of the dialogue) from the telecast, which is presented here.

Taken from a vinyl record copy of the songs.
