Various Episodes from Season 2 of Bewitched.
The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me.

Season 2 of Bewitched had wonderful performances by Alice Pearce who won an Emmy, Marion Lorne as Aunt Clara, Paul Lynde in his first performance as Uncle Arthur, the first appearance of Serena (but not quite the Serena of later appearances.) The writing was quite good with episodes being funny and touching at the same time. Dick York and Elizabeth Montgomery giving top notch performances.

There were two episodes that were virtually lifted from season one. Each had a new scene at the beginning that said Do you remember what happened last year and the older episode is then played out again. There is no wrap around scene. It was probably a cost saving device since there were 38 episodes that year!

Post by: S. Woody White on June 02, 2006, 03:53:07 AM: Der Brucer is away this morning, quite early. He is off to join the third graders where young Alex goes to school, as they all take a field trip to Philadelphia to see a musical play called The Stinky Cheese Man. (http://www.ardentheatre.org/2006/stinky.html) They should all have a very good time, I believe.

I was also asked to join the third graders on this trip, but my work schedule got in the way. (Or, considering the show's title, the whey.) Still, it's nice to know that the school considers me to be one of the parents, or something like one.

Post by: S. Woody White on June 02, 2006, 03:54:43 AM: I'm still reading the same books I was reading last week. Such is the free time I have.

Der Brucer purchased and watched the DVD of a filmed entertainment called The Towering Inferno. He quite enjoyed it.

SPOILER:

For those who don't remember, The Towering Inferno is the film where O. J. Simpson saves a kitty cat.

Post by: Danise on June 02, 2006, 04:30:19 AM: Good morning all!

Judging from the posts from the other day, I wasn’t the only person having problems with connecting with the board.

I actually got scared when I got the “Forbidden” page because I was on lunch at the time and thought that I had somehow connected to the server at work. We can get in BIG trouble if we use the county resources to surf the net. I shut everything down quickly.

I couldn’t figure out how I had connected since I have the card I bought from Verizon configured to only pick up the signal that I’m paying for. Mystery solved. Thank goodness.

I tried again on the bus ride home but still couldn’t connect to the board and kept getting thrown off. I guess it was just a bad day.

I drove into work yesterday so I didn't have my laptop with me. I had to go for the yearly mammogram. Ugh. But not as painful has it has been in the past. I still manage to get somewhat sick in the stomach the day after. I think I must be sensitive to the radiation.

Anyway, Happy Friday everyone and have a wonderful day!
Title: Re:OHAYO
Post by: Ben on June 02, 2006, 04:56:03 AM: Laura, what a great Squirrel picture from yesterday!

I will look for Peter Mark's review of Mame. I read Brantley's review this morning.

I'm listening to WMKV right now. I forgot to bring CDs to the office with me so my musical experiences will be from Internet radio.

I have episodes of The Sopranos to watch, courtesy of Anthony's mother. I will watch them as I ride the bike which I needs must do after my wonderful trip to DC last weekend.

I will also go to the Doggie Spa and play with my friend's dog, Homer. My friend is in the middle of the Gobi desert with another friend (it's her 60th birthday present to herself, a trip to Tibet). He called because he looked at his phone (he has T-Mobile service) and saw there was coverage. Imagine being in the middle of the Gobi Desert and making a cell phone call!

Tomorrow I will go to the Broadhurst Theatre ticket office and try to procure standing room tickets for the matinee or evening performance of History Boys.

On Sunday morning I will call my sister in Minnesota. Her husband works at a golf course and leaves the house early on Sunday so we can have a nice long talk without interruption.

I now must look up some things on line for Anthony (who is doing fine, btw, in Virginia).

Adieu.

Post by: elmore3003 on June 02, 2006, 05:30:47 AM: Good morning, all! I had quite a profitable afternoon at the NYPL Theatre Collection yesterday. Beyond seeing and visiting with favorite librarians, I found many interesting discrepancies between the original Anne Caldwell-James O'Dea lyric sheets for unpublished songs at the library and their "edited" versions recorded by someone with a highly promoted reputation as a musical theatre historian.

Today, I'm back to Toyland for edits and other bits of fun with Mr Tom Murray. When I return hme, I have some proofreading on a new vocal score to Jerome Moross' one-act opera SORRY WRONG NUMBER. This evening I shall chill out with some DVD viewing. Dylan and his new girlfriend (the boy works fast!) are off to a party, and I look forward to a quiet evening.

Saw quite a few fine shows there and thought it was a most hospitable space, especially (but not only) if you sat in the center section. It was a pain to get up those s tairs, but once you were there, it was well worth it.

It's either too cool for anything less than long-sleeved shirts, or it's too warm to breathe (when it gets warm like that, air flow is reversed with air blowing westward from interior climes, mostly from very hot areas). One can feel the breath being sucked from one's lungs sometimes.

Reiterating that it was the cup of coffee that was doing the languishing, I have to opine that it started when I set the cup on my desk and removed the lid.

The profuse steam that escaped at the point led me to speculate that I wasn't yet ready to scald my tongue or the roof of my mouth...and I decided it needed to languish a bit.

Since my husband is off in Virginia the call of the siren is easier to answer at lunch ;)

I picked up a copy of the soundtrack to Mrs. Santa Claus, the Jerry Herman/Angela Lansbury television special from 1996. I also got a copy of Magdalena. I don't know if it's any good. I've heard of the show. It's by Wright and Forrest who wrote Kismet and Grand Hotel. This recording has the wonderful Judy Kaye, George Rose, Faith Esham, Kevin Gray and Jerry Hadley. I will listen to it over the weekend.

Did I mention that I will try to get standing room tickets to History Boys tomorrow?

I am reading The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen. It's old, I know, but it was in the library and I've never read it so now I will. It was highly praised when it came out but right now it's a lot of family dysfunction. We will see how it goes. I keep looking for The Kite Runner but all copies are out at my branch. I may wander over to another branch of the NYPL to see if I can find a copy.

What a gorgeous day!

A co-worker and I walked 14 blocks to visit the weekly farmer's market (bought two pounds of fresh green beans) and take lunch at a Thai restaurant.

Had wonderful chicken spring rolls and pra-ram pork.

Delicious!

And the walk was enervating!

In my DVD player: three new DVDs from Netflix (they're at home, so I don't remember what they are), after that will be "Transamerica" with Felicity Huffman.

In my VCR: tapes to tape shows tonight. There are three shows at 9:00 pm, so I have to tape two of them. I'll watch "Last Comic Standing" and tape "Doctor Who" and today's "Oprah" episode rebroadcast this evening.

Because these are the most recent Poirot adventures which have been produced, they look and sound much more impressive than the earlier ones, at least on video. And it's great watching them straight through without bothersome commercials dragging them out to 2 hour lengths. They're a very compact 90 minutes now.

This pic was taken at our Closing Night gathering this past Sunday. Jim Stanek had been out the day before for both shows attending to the birth of his new son, Dylan Jay.

*So, due to Hugh being out sick, that meant we had three understudies on for the both shows on Saturday: Drew Sarich went on as Lestat (normally played by Hugh Panaro), Sean MacLaughlin went on as Armand (normally played by Drew Sarich), and Chris Peluso went on as Louis (normally played by Jim Stanek).

**And the night before, Drew and Sean ended up going on just for the second act of the show. So, that meant that Drew ended up playing "against" his character in the same performance.

-Needless to say, it was quite the action-packed closing weekend.

It was Not Raining for 2 hours this morning - so I was out there ripping up buttercups with a will! Yipes, with all the rain and long days, everything is growing so fast - especially these buttercups! They have taken over the whole yard... amazing what I find in there, once the weeds are out.

Rain for the rest of the day, I think - I'm going to lie on the couch and watch Alfie - the Jude Law one... then maybe next week or so I'll try to find the Michael Caine Alfie, which I saw decades ago.

You guessed it. Rain! Buckets of the stuff. I could barely see to drive. I have to admit that my fear of driving in rain wasn't as great since I felt more secure in Bonny. :)

A director's cut of T.C.W.N. would be pretty darned cool! Hope it all works out!

Well... I made it downtown to James' office... Hopefully, the uptown trains will be running again later tonight - the rain is really wreaking havoc on the subway system today. -I'm just glad I don't work in Queens... No trains at all in or out from Queens Plaza - or some stop like that.

Well... That's all for now... We're heading out to dinner...

Laters...

Aha, that is why when I talked to Rodzinski he told me that he had just gotten home from work. Which ended 2 hours ago. And he works in Queens. I hope I can get home when I'm off in an hour.

I think I've been doing this work too long. :)

DR TPunk - another book (not new) that I saw listed today was titled Wellness for Helping Professionals. I thought there are several of us on the site who might be able to use that!

Post by: PennyO on June 02, 2006, 06:20:41 PM: Well, Alfie was just so depressing - very stylish movie - done up to suggest the 60's, in a way. Jude Law is so good in it. But egad! I had forgotten what a depressing story it is...

That, and the heavy downpour... well, I need something like IceCream!!! to cheer me up... and it came in the form of a terrific lyric by Bruce K - for the expanded Thighs. I laughed out loud.

Well, i think I'll go rummage in the refrigerator for some grub... back laters, gators!

I, and a couple of other DRs as well as one of my co-workers would all go for that idea, BK!!

Of course you and Cindy must do commentary.

Post by: Matt H. on June 02, 2006, 08:13:15 PM: I finshed MOMMIE DEAREST, and the rest of the DVD looked sharp and well done. I have no complaints with it, so I'm glad I'm not rebuying the new edition, even though it is reasonably priced.

Post by: Matt H. on June 02, 2006, 08:27:13 PM: Next, I put in I LOVE MELVIN. Such a zippy, unpretentious little musical. Always enjoy it though on the bigger screen it's pretty obvious that the film is in dire need of some Technicolor restoration. Doesn't have nearly the richness of color that LOVELY TO LOOK AT has.

Post by: Matt H. on June 02, 2006, 08:30:39 PM: Then, I watched the first episode in THE SIX WIVES OF HENRY VIII - Catherine of Aragon, which has always been my favorite of the six episodes. Annette Crosbie gives a riveting performance as the noble queen. Keith Michell, of course, won an Emmy for playing Henry VIII, though he won it for the fifth episode Catherine Howard rather than this first one.
Title: Re:OHAYO
Post by: Matt H. on June 02, 2006, 08:32:29 PM: Having enjoyed that, I put on the second episode in the series - Anne Bolyn. Dorothy Tutin is great as the tragic, foolish Anne. I didn't get quite to the end of this one so I'll finish it tomorrow.

Yes, you must!!! There are things in the original cut that are very funny. Obviously, I'm not as close to it, so I enjoyed the bastardized version as well (or else I would never have shown up on this here site), but both should be seen.

Post by: George on June 03, 2006, 12:24:07 AM: I just finished watching "Doctor Who." I didn't realize that next week is the season finale! At least it won't be too long before this new series will be available on DVD (it'll be released on July 4th). I thought about getting it from amazon.co.uk (since I have a region-code free DVD player), but it would cost a lot more than what it'll be on amazon.com.
