Well, you've read the notes, the notes swung, and now it is time for you to post until the swingin' cows come home. They're currently singing their favorite swingin' song, Come Moo With Me.

A Technicolor by any other name would smell as sweet...

Welcome to new DR CHICKENS.

Well the S'More Entertainment Season Six of The Danny Thomas Show arrived yesterday.

It's great! All of the ORIGINAL titles are at the beginning of each episode, the episodes are broadcast NOT syndicated. There are interviews with Angela Cartwright, Marjorie Lord, and Sid Melton. The Angela and Marjorie interviews are very nice. The questions are edited out and they just talk about the show and the other cast members.

Lord says she was completely typecast and unable to work in anything else, except a Bob Hope movie - and tells a funny story about introducing her real husband to an Indianapolis matron at a party only to be told angrily that she was "married to Danny Thomas!"

The episodes are fun....Hans Conreid, Lucy & Desi, William Demarest (as Lord's father), Dinah Shore, Tony Bennett, and Annette Funicello all make guest appearances.

A fun show.....get it if you can....especially if you enjoyed the show years ago. There is also about 10 minutes of bloopers and retakes that will make you smile.

Are you referring to Miss Blue, DR TCB, or the real thing?

~~Monday~~ Wednesday morning greetings! It only seems like Monday to me, because it's my first day back after 11 off. Things seem pretty much the same around here.

ASK BK:

What factors play into your decision on whether or not to take a writing credit on projects that you are involved in, such as the mentoring thing?

And the word of the day is: FLETCHER!

"Fletcher? I 'ardly know 'er!" Sorry, couldn't resist...

Muchos Gracias to all the well-wishers from yesterday, and apologies for the errant-and-truant-ness.

The Lovely Wife(tm) and I sat down to watch the Back to the Future trilogy this past week for the first time (she'd never seen the second, and I only saw the third movie once, back in the theater), and we got a huge kick out of seeing all the inter-related characterizations and scenes, many of which were quite subtle (in the first movie, fr'instance, the mall where Marty meets the professor is called "twin pines". At the movie end, the camera pans across the mall, which is now called "single pine mall" or something similar, since Marty knocked over one of the trees in the past in an earlier scene. Very subtle, doesn't hurt you if you don't get it, but probably missed by 95% of the original audience).

Question for bk: what's your favorite movie in-joke or subtle reference?
