I watched The Rookies every week. Michael Ontkean became a lifelong favorite actor of mine beginning with this show....and his battles with producer Aaron Spelling to wear his hair CURLY.....quite the news back then.

For the life of me, I cannot imagine what Aaron Spelling would have looked like with curly hair, nor why it would matter so much to Michael Ontkean.

Re: Killing Me Softly. The first recording was actually by Lori Lieberman, for whom the song was written and upon whose idea the lyric was based. Her version went nowhere.

Now here's your real trivia question: whom does the song reference?

Hint: it's not Warren Beatty.

Re: Aaron Spelling. A very young Spelling turns up as a country yokel in an early Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode with Joseph Cotten (IIRC--if not Cotten, someone like him) as a paralyzed car accident victim that everyone thinks is dead.

For me, it's "That's How You Know." Best staging of a musical sequence I've seen in years.

JMK · « **Reply #96 on:** March 24, 2008, 09:29:35 AM »

And how cool (no pun intended) is it that some of the senior men in that sequence were in the film version of WSS?

That it is!! [ In the movie; NOT on the Academy Awards.

I am almost considering upgrading to Blu-Ray just so that I can view the branching feature which addresses all the Disney homages and references contained within the film.

My goodness - TORCHWOOD. Almost a comedy of errors tonight and yet exciting and scary a bit, too. Really ran the gamut this week.

Wonder if we'll find out more about Jack and that photo we looked at with him. Perhaps DOCTOR WHO fanatics can explain that picture to those of us who are ignorant.

Whovians on their boards are also debating who the young lady in the photo might be. Some have suggested it is the elderly scientist from the first season episode "Small Worlds," but I think not - Jack is likely to have had many relationships over the decades he's been around, and for him to return to a former wife and say he's his own decendant would be too cruel - easier if they were just lovers. Jack's history is supposed to be enigmatic, so this is just one more puzzle piece.

Tonight on tv for me, DANCING WITH THE STARS, and DAMAGES (which airs here on monday nights).

I have already seen tonight's MEDIUM (no spoilers). It is a to be continued episode (part 1) and i enjoyed it thoroughly.

I was in the other room when this was on the Oscars. I've heard from several people that that was a good thing.

MBarnum, thought you may be interested in this article in today's Washington Post. Seems the Iraqi interpreters can risk their lives to help us, but that doesn't mean they can get a green card. This really stinks.

As for natural sweeteners, I like stevia a lot, but I've never tried to cook with it; I don't know how it reacts to heat.

I found it difficult to work with, though I WANTED to like it. Brown rice syrup is much easier.

And may I add that Sergio Mendes and Brasil '77 do a respectable, if somewhat bland, version on their "Love Music" LP/CD from 1973. Some nice Lydian Rhodes stuff from Sergio on the interludes.

How Stevia Reacts to Heat is my much-anticipated follow-up to An Ongoing Litany of Bilious Spite.

For those who are interested in the HBO series JOHN ADAMS but don't subscribe to HBO, it's coming out on DVD on June 10.

I'm finding his life so interesting that I think I'll buy the biography and read it.

I'm back from MTI; saw a few friends, looked at some orchestrations, and I'm ready to conquer something, if not the world.

Obviously we all have strong opinions about things, and some of them are obviously going to push someone's buttons - certainly I think some of my opinions push buttons occasionally, but I do always try to temper my opinions by making sure my tone is even-keeled and that I'm just expressing MY opinion and that others' opinions may differ, which is fine.

So, the good thing about this board is that normally we're all sensitive about it - sometimes not. It's all horse racing, and let's just try to keep the tone nice on all sides.

Thanks for the salad dressing recipe. I printed it out and will try it.

I recently found a really delicious salad dressing recipe. It's supposed to be like Olive Garden. I really like it.

1/2 C Mayonnaise
1/3 C White Vinegar
1 tsp vegetable oil (i use olive oil)
2 tbsp corn syrup (you can use less)
2 tbsp parmesan cheese
2 tbsp romano cheese
1 clove minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/2 tsp parsley flakes
1 tbsp lemon juice

mix in blender (i use a hand blender).

Tone on the Internet is the single hardest thing to decipher, at least for me, because there are times when I think my joking around is so obvious, but there's always someone who doesn't get it, sometimes multiple people.

AN AMERICAN IN PARIS is certainly not my favorite Gene Kelly picture either, but there's a lot to like in it, at least for me.

I must confess that I've never seen all of the film, but I find Irene Sharaf one of the most overrated designers in theatre. I think her costumes for the concluding ballet are awesomely ugly.

Oh and if anyone loves the McDonald "special" Big Mac sauce. I tried this and it is quite tasty.

1/2 cup mayo
2 tbsp french dressing
2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon finely minced white onion
1 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1/8 tsp sald.

Mix well.

I agree with DR MattH that MEDIUM is one of the best shows on tv now. I also agree that this is such a wonderfully portrayed family. I can't even imagine what the show would be like without the kids. They really make the show for me!

Mikey, Georges Guetary is in the movie with Mr Kelly.
