I'm not DR MBarnum, but I can answer. The episode you're referring to, the Dark."
For some reason, I thought he was in another TZ episode, but I can't find it right now. Unbelievably, THE TWILIGHT ZONE COMPANION has no actor index, a major flaw in the book's construction.
Just finished the last disc of Broadway - The American Musical. Interesting but I enjoyed the "heart" of "Broadway - The Golden Age" more.
British police crack missing gnome case
Two women charged after for pilfering from gardens in Central Scotland
In an apparent breakthrough in a series of mysterious garden raids in Scotland, police in Britain have charged two women after discovering a huge cache of garden gnomes, the BBC reported Wednesday.
Police reportedly found least 40 gnomes, hedgehogs, rabbits and furniture in a house in Alloa, Clackmannanshire in central Scotland in what they described as an Aladdin's cave of garden ornaments. They also unearthed more than 60 plant pots and 25 solar lights, according to the BBC.
People in Stirling, Clackmannanshire and Falkirk in Central Scotland had complained that gnomes, hedgehogs and rabbits had gone missing, it said.
The discovery was the culmination of an 11-day police investigation into the spate of thefts.
Cracking the case was described as a "significant achievement" by Detective Constable Roy Lake, but the challenge of making sure the gnomes had a home to go to remained, the BBC said.
"Our task now is to identify who the items belong to and ensure they are given back to their rightful owners," he was quoted as saying.
DR MattH, I think the episode of Veronica Mars you saw was 19/22. I just saw episode 16. Are they showing them in order on reruns?

Favorite Bacharach/David work: Always Something There To Remind Me, the Casino Royale Theme, Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head
When all the blame-Jose jokes were going on, I did find myself humming "Do You Know the Way to Blame Jose." :)
Wouldn't it be something if Vernonica Mars got killed by the eyes of Laura Mars?
Of course, I love Up on the Roof and Go Away, Little Girl LOTS.
DR RonP, I don't think they will let America decide anything to do with nominations or evictions. But I agree, i don't want to vote on some crappy thing.
Anyhow is it just a text vote? or can you vote on the internet too?
RLP, I, too, love Everybody's Out Of Town
Okay, so get this. Ya climb up this eight foot tall ladder, ya stand on this 2 foot by 2 foot platform. Ya step up on this 12" square box. Ya grab the swaying fly bar. Ya step over the flat - and go down the ten foot ladder on the other side.
And could you do it a little faster please, Mrs. Ricardo?
The director may make real angels out of us before rehearsal is over!
The first came from a woman in California who yelled at me because we shipped her materials for LES MISERABLES SCHOOL EDITION to the right address. Problem is, she moved and forgot to tell us, and for that she was yelling AT ME. Of course, it was my fault that I didn't have the foresight to call her before we shipped her books to her just to make sure she hadn't MOVED!
I LOVE THIS CD!!! I play it all the time. She worked with Fred Barton of Miss Gulch Returns fame to put it together. MGR is also a very, very funny CD.
He put that in an email? ::)
I got back from lunch yesterday and there was an email from said supervisor telling me that I shouldn't have gone over his head with that question. That by bypassing him, I made him look "ineffectual" and that directly affected his annual review, and in turn his annual raise (or lack thereof). He admitted that he would have asked the exact same question that I had asked, but said that I should NEVER ask ANYONE a question unless I asked him.

Well do try to squeeze us in from time to time :D
Thanks for the welcome back, Vixmom! I don't know if I'll have the time to post more frequently here, but we'll see.
Well do try to squeeze us in from time to time :D
Don't have a clue. Will only know when Julie tells us something, I suppose.
People in public education most of the time seem to be uptight about things, as they are underpaid, don't have a decent budget to work with, and all their "rights" as a teacher seem to have been stripped away by socieity. I'm not defending their behavior, but that's the reason, usually, that they can get that way. A lot of times, they are asigned things like "the school play" and don't have a clue as to how to go about doing it the right way - as in getting the license, etc. It is a tedious process when applying for a license for a show, and MTI is the easist to work with while undergoing the process. People aren't prepared for that process. Anyhow, my point is.... DR Jason, I'm sorry you have to deal with those type of people in education, and I know you would go out of your way to get the answer people need, it seems the people higher up from you have their own agenda, which isn't fair to you or your collegues.
And now, Mr Demille, I'm ready for my close-up.
LOS ANGELES - The mysterious disappearance of Grammy-nominated music producer Chris Julian has all the elements of one of the Hollywood thrillers that he scored: a frantic, pre-dawn phone call; an Internet scam; and police searches in Topanga Canyon.
According to Southern California media accounts, Julian, 48, whose real name is Christian Julian Irwin, vanished Sunday after calling a friend via cell phone to say he was being chased down a ravine near his home by pursuers who were out to kill him. The call was made at 3:45 a.m. and no one has heard from Irwin since. One of the few clues that police have is a pair of the missing man’s glasses, “found halfway down the hill behind his house, where it is believed that they fell as he ran,” the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.
Friends and relatives say the most bizarre element in the case is Irwin's recent involvement in a “Nigerian” Internet scam. The swindle involves e-mailed appeals for advance money to help move large sums out of Nigeria. Victims are told they’ll get a big chunk of the fortune in exchange for their help.
Los Angeles County Deputy Luis Castro, a sheriff’s spokesman, declined to comment on the Internet scam angle.
But Irwin’s friend and former business partner Fortunato Procopio, 47, told the Times that Irwin said had been drawn into some kind of Internet fraud and threatened by the con artists.
According to the Times, Procopio "told him it was clearly a scam — don't be silly." But other friends and relatives told the newspaper that Irwin later received a mysterious $50,000 check and became increasingly concerned.
A troubling phone call
The Times story says: “On Sunday morning, Procopio said, he was awakened in his Venice home by a phone call that was picked up by his answering machine. When he played the recording, he heard Irwin asking for help. Irwin said he was in hiding and someone was in close pursuit.
Procopio tried calling Irwin but couldn't reach him, the paper said. Then, he and his girlfriend began driving to Irwin's Topanga home. On the way, Procopio got another call from Irwin, saying that “he had been chased from his house down a ravine in back by people and possibly dogs. He told Procopio he was barefoot, having lost his shoes, and feared for his life.”
Described as 6 feet 2, 190 pounds with graying brown hair and blue eyes, Irwin was believed to have been wearing a red and blue shirt and blue jeans when he disappeared.
According to Irwin's brother-in-law, John Riolo of Carlsbad, sheriff's dogs tracked the missing man's scent from his home to a business on Topanga Canyon Boulevard. The dogs then tracked the scent into another small canyon and lost the trail, Riolo told the Times.
According to his Web site, Irwin is “an independent record producer and engineer whose work has brought three Grammy Nominations, over 50 Gold and Platinum albums and an Emmy Award.” He has worked with David Bowie, Jimmy Webb, Vanessa Williams, David Crosby, Chaka Khan, Don Was, Art Garfunkel, Carly Simon, Queen Latifa, Isaac Hayes and Lisa Stansfield.
Film credits
His film credits include "The Big Red One," "The Kid and I," "Benji 2," "Silent Partner," "Crash Landing" and "Moscow Heat."
I thank you for listening to my rants today. I promise, I will try to keep them to myself for the rest of the afternoon. And thank you, everyone for your good vibes and bitch-slaps...I appreciate them.
We Can All Sleep Safely In Our Beds Now Dept.Guess I owe Travelocity an apology, I was blaming them!
BK do you know anything about this?
DR MATTH wrote;Thank you, DR MATTH. I’m interested in the another episode you mentioned, as I think I’ve never seen it. However, I couldn’t find it on http://www.twilightzone.org/index2.html. or on another Japanese site. ???
DR MattH, I have not seen any infatuation with Logan up until my last episode.
What? Do you think he had something to do with it?? :o
;)
I know you're looking forward to having the day be over and heading out for some "me time."
Jason is going to have some Matt H time?
???
;D
Well, sure, being retired, I have plenty of time to spare, but I suspect he'd rather have some Jason-time. ::)
I'm about 45 minutes away from leaving for my doctor's appointment.
It hardly seems fair that my day end so early...but there it is.
I'm not purposely trying to dominate the chat here, but everyone else seems to be in some sort of lull.
And here I am, "Yadda yadda this and yadda yadda that!"
Well, yadda yadda!
Ciao-ders!!
I got a package in the mail from my mom...and it's about a pound of black walnut fudge!
I remember her saying she might make some to take on her trip...and to think she thunk of me when she made it!
That's three show biz people who have disappeared in less than a week. Hmmmm.....
APPLE VALLEY, Calif. -- Scout Taylor-Compton, star of the 2004 teen comedy "Sleepover," was reunited with her family Thursday, two weeks after she went missing.
The teen actress had last been seen Aug. 12 at her family's home in San Bernardino County.
The Apple Valley Police Department learned about her whereabouts from school officials Thursday and returned Taylor-Compton to her family, said Jodie Miller, a spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.
"She seems to be unharmed, no evidence of any criminal activity during the time she was missing," Miller said.
The department previously said the girl was believed to be a runaway.
Additional details weren't immediately available.
Taylor-Compton recently finished filming the independent movie "Tomorrow Is Today."
She also goes by the name Desiree Compton
I wonder what time we can expect Francisco di Parigi to join us today?
It may not be "cool" but I know there area few DRs who are Neil Diamond fans. His tribute album to the "Songs From The Brill "Building - Up On The Roof" is a good collection of work by those writers listed above.
Bacharach & David also worked in the Brill Building.
elmore: I hope that when you spoke of me, and you did, that you were kind. I love Crista.
Goffin and King also wrote "The Porpoise Song," a pretty cool tune from the Monkees' movie HEAD.
*whistling as he walks in, as if it hasn't been six months since he last posted*
Favorite Bacharach: A relative obscurity; "You're Following Me," as performed by piano bar diva Elena Bennett on her "Wrinkle in Swingtime" album. Can't really think of a King & Goffin song that makes my all-time favorite list, though...
*whistles his way out of the room again*
Today's word: I think of it every 15 minutes or so when I get an email about Viagra. I forget about it as soon as I've deleted the message.

And many other vibes to our Floridians.
More later, film at 11.
Today is National Banana Split Day!
(I'm fairly sure that's in reference to the ice cream and fruit concoction, and not the Hanna-Barbara concoction.)
Got the Astaire/Rogers set (had a bunch of credit at Amoeba), also got The Red Tent, which I've never seen (stars Sean Connery and is a big production from the early 70s), and also got a new region 2 DVD of the Peter Cook/Dudley Moore Bedazzled, which happily is widescreen and enhanced - can't wait. Also got the new DVD of The Killing of Sister George, which, according to the box, is finally enhanced for widescreen TVs. The original release wasn't, and the region 2, whose box stated that it was, wasn't either.
Jose, it's Susan Senn at Circa 21. She isn't married, well not anymore, but he wasn't a sound guy so it must not be the same person you're thinking of. Randy Yackle also played there, but they both play piano, so I doubt you would have been there when they were there.
I listened again to the OBC of Funny Girl.... I hadn't done that in a long time... and WOW! that Streisand lady was quite something then. So much power, passion and life in her singing... and boy does she SING all the notes and do we understand every word, which is something I can't say of the soundtrack for the film version!
A good advise: do listen again to FUNNY GIRL the original Broadway recording!
You may not remember how good it is.
Comes second behind GYPSY, imho!
Dealing with the public:There is, unfortunately, a big difference between dealing with customers of your own organization, and with customers of a company you work for.
I am not of the opinion that the customer is always right. I always go out of my way to deal openly and honestly with customers, but if they behave unreasonably or are just plain wrong, then I don't care who they are, and if that loses me some customers in the long run, that's just tough beans.
...he's been doing this he's been to Italy and Europe...So...Italy is not a part of Europe any more???
I loved Mickey until he permed his hair.Rug, maybe?
And the word of the day is: TUMESCENT!The tumescence of the unknown soldier...a leading cause of fatherless children, I'm sure!!!!!
The best response would be for Jason to write an e-mail in response, to the uber-supervisor, explaining his actions in as non-emotional language as he can. If I were Jason, I would not even mention his direct supervisor, except to explain that he was taking the initiative to stop an inflamitory situation early, rather than let it continue further and disrupt the corporate structure. I would appologize for any impropriety the action I'd taken, and ask for advice as to what action should be taken, should the situation arise at a later date.
In other words, I would remain a cool, cool, considerate man. And I'd leave it to the ubersupervisor to decide what action needed to be taken next.
So...Italy is not a part of Europe any more???
::)
Of course I was kind! How could I not be?
Have a lovely long weekend! I hope the doctor says things to you like
"My what a healthy speciman"
and
"You're HOW OLD?! My goodness, you have the body of a man half your age"
and
"NURSE! No charge, This checkup is on me, it was a privledge to see you"
Randy Yackle also played there, but they both play piano, so I doubt you would have been there when they were there.
