Well... I don't sense any sense of "complaint" in that statement.

I will always have fond memories of our ride in the elevator, DR JoseP! LOL!

OH!!!

I popped into Best Buy in SoHo just to check it out - I had never been there before. Well...

*Warning to DR Ron Pulliam - You may not want to read the rest of this post.

As I was walking in, they were putting out a display of the new Cinderella DVD boxed set - the two-disc edition with the small book, and the artwork. They were marked down to only $16.99. $16.99?!?!? I asked the guy who was setting up the display if that was truly the real price - since it was cheaper than the standard edition. Well, it turned out that someone in their stock room got a little carried away with the box cutter, and managed to slice into some of the boxes a little too deep. The DVDs are fine. The DVD cases are fine. But there is a gouge/slice on the slipcase - and, consequently, through the plastic overwrap. So, since technically, they were now damaged goods, the manager marked them down for quick sale.

Well... By the time I had finished talking with the salesperson, all the copies were snatched up - I think there were only about 20 copies anyway. Except for the one still in my hand! So... Since it was my niece's birthday last week...

-Aren't I a good uncle?

Just finished watching Lifeboat. Shortly I shall be on my way to sup with Mr. Nick Redman and company, then I shall return to watch a DVD that I'd wager most of you don't know is out - one of our beloved ABC Movie of the Weeks. I bought that little ABC Movie of the Week book (less than 100 pages of actual text) and it's the disappointment of the year. It's more about the fellow who wrote it (telling us what year he came out, how "hunky" all the male stars are, etc.) that about what it should be about. What we need is a comprehensive book with complete credits, and what we get are chatty paragraphs that only occasionally mention a writer or director and almost never mention any other behind-the-scenes folks like a composer or cameraman. It's filled with shoddy errors that any semi-competent FRIEND could have helped him catch (Jaime Smith Jackson indeed). In one entry, he talks about director Jerry Paris and lists some of his sitcom directing credits - he doesn't mention Happy Days, which Mr. Paris directed every single episode of.

It's a self-published book through iUniverse - nothing wrong with that, as long as it's good - sad to say, it's probably ruined any chance of getting a decent reference book on this wonderful series of films. Feh.

A good time to take a break from my frenzy.

DR TCB - I think some of the "Hollywood" casting came in for comment, and of course as you mentioned....the dubbed voices.

I think it was Pauline Kael who said that WSS was advertised as "The Musical for People Who Don't Like Musicals" - and she agreed.

Ms Kael's review for WSS was particularly scathing, but my only real memory of the review was her putdown of the score. She did like some muisicals: SINGING IN THE RAIN, THE BEGGAR'S OPERA, Fred and Ginger, NASHVILLE.

DING! DING! DING! You guessed it! I was actually "screaming" I WANT TO LIVE! as DR WilliamFOrr was snapping that shot.

Regarding all the pictures: Is it fat in here or is it just me? No. It's just me. All y'all look great, but I really need to hit the gym instead of the Krispy Kremes. (He says as he eats a Galaxy bar...) Why didn't anyone tell me my hair was such a mess? Or that my forehead took up the entire upper west side? I thought photo approval was part of my contract. Someone call my agent!

DR MBarnum: Shakalaka, Baby!! I love the new outfit. And Freddy is ADORABLE!

I'm finally home from a long trip to PA to see HONK! JR. It's a cute show - I'd rather have seen the full-length version, especially with the direction of this version being so bad - but it is a sweet show and I wish more people would do it. I've been pushing it for a year and a half now. And as much fun as a day with Frog & Toad sounds, A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD sounds much more enjoyable.

And also by popular demand (DR JRand55's) a shot of Freddy with his human. Freddy is wondering where is his kurta!

Freddy is the cutest thing ever! And his human's not too bad either.

If you're unhappy with any of your pictures, Jason, it just serves you right for not having briefed me on the "suck in your chins" trick.

Well, HHW is certain to be the most popular site with the ladies of UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG, especially after I told them today's word of the day on HHW was in honor of the stunning UMBRELLAS leading lady Heather Spore. (OK, I know that's probably not why the word was picked, but still - anything to enhance the popularity of HHW.) Over dinner, we talked about how the 1980's clothing in STARFIGHTER made the teenagers look like they had excess poundage (Heather called it "wigglage") until we couldn't talk about it any more, and then on the ride home by train Milla, Julie and I talked about wigglage some more. The wigglage talk was over a delicious low-calorie

Italian dinner with the three leading ladies of CHERBOURG, who were careful what they ate because they had an evening show to do after dinner.

And I came very close to meeting Max Von Essen, but dear-fiend (sp?) Milla monopolized him and then he was tied up with his fans who had come from NYC (very popular Guy, this Max Von Essen, seriously), plus it was raining out by the stage door. so I never did get to tell Max about HHW.

MBarnum - great photos and Freddy is adorable, not unlike his human!

Well once again an orgasmic plateau was reached and I wasn't there to enjoy it.....such is life. Congrats BK and everyone on the achievement

I did make a trip to Best Buy (didn't look for Cinderella) but I did get an XM radio. Since I live in the middle of nowhere, the pickins on the radio dial are slim almost as slim as the tall buildings that could block the signal!

BTW, thanks for the heads up on the dog show. I love to watch it and forgot it was on

Jose, can you post or email our route on the tour? I did this trip sans map so I didn't have a chance to keep track of where we went.

The lovely Shar-pei won best of breed and was 4th in her Group! I don't remember when a Sharp has ever placed that high at Eukanuba!

Beth looked so pretty and I am very happy for her and her doggie.

I have a question for all you experts out there: How many years did the Mickey Mouse Club Show run?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #236 on:** October 08, 2005, 07:25:58 PM »

Oh...

My parents called me while I was out this afternoon... They wondered when I was coming home. -Apparently, the DC TV stations have been giving a lot of airtime to the possible terrorist threat here in New York City this weekend.

I told them that I'm not really worried, and that I do feel safe. -And I really do.

*Heck, most of the time I work in DC... -And Ford's is just a few blocks from the White House, and a block away from FBI headquarters. Seeing all the "presence" down there most definitely made me shakey at times.

But I appreciated their concern. And their love. And I will see them next weekend.

I love Haagen-Dazs RICH MILK ice cream. And it’s going to be the best ice cream of the world when I put some CC Brown’s Hot Fudge Sauce, which I’ve got at Farmer’s Market, on it! (dear BK told me how to put it on ice cream.) It’s an incredible delicious sauce.

ORIGINAL one and only Mickey Mouse Club ran from 1955-1959, it was then syndicated in many markets.

In fact this week was the 50th anniversary of its original premiere.
