Speaking of the Unseemly Trivia Contest, am I the only one who did research in the career of Clara Peller to see if she ever did a B'way musical?

No. ;D

Of course, it got me nowhere. :P

As for the Topic of the Day...

Hmm...  The only possible one that comes to mind is Salvatore Cascio who played Toto in "Cinema Paradiso" or "Nuevo Cinema Paradiso" in some circles.  However, I'm not sure if he was "introduced" in that film.  However, I do remember him being listed as "Salvatore Cascio as "Toto"" in the credits.  Guess I may have to pop the DVD in and take a look.

yes, DRMBARNUM....you are correct....Mr John Saxon was introduced in the final billing sequence as an "exciting new screen personality" in THE UNGUARDED MOMENT, and he did very well!

I remember Pat Crowley having a credit sort of like this at the end of "Forever Female."

So...

When I was up at New York Stage & Film two weeks ago, I was working with the very talented (and attractive) Asa Somers:



Well besides his own website:

Now I'm envisioning other products in the line of  ****On and where they are directly applied to.  The commercials won't fly on broadcast television.  Maybe not on cable, either.  Maybe if someone does a remake of KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE.

I finished the last disc in the 4th season set of THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW. What a terrific batch of classic episodes. Among them

Ted campaigns for the Teddy Award and meets Walter Cronkite

Mary and RHoda have a serious falling out that makes them both miserable.

Ted insists on taking the same creative writing course as Mary and then steals her high school prom story.

Mary, Lou, and Murray investigate the singles scene for a live feed segment.

Lou and Rhoda have a date, and then another.

Mary writes a funny obituary that gets her suspended and she quits the newsroom.

Watched the first episode of PEE-WEE'S PLAYHOUSE. Just as silly and wacky as I remembered it. I remember that later on in the run, he started using a lot more double entendres, especially with bodybuilder/lifeguard Tito and Cowboy Curtis.

And LOVESPRING INTERNATIONAL had a better episode than last week. Still not up to the first one I saw, but otherwise, it was OK. There were a couple of laughs.

I remember Bonnie Hunt's last series was mostly imrpovisation, and though there would be occasional laughs, it was never as funny as fully scripted half hour shows. I find LOVESPRING to be in the same boat. It might be much funnier if they had a writing staff and fully scripted the show. The characters have the potential to be really funny.

In honor of the late June Allyson, I'm going to watch the episode of THE JUDY GARLAND SHOW where she and Steve Lawrence were guest stars. I haven't seen it in a couple of years, and it'll be nice to see it again.

Then, I plan to rewatch DECEIT with the commentary track.

I'm all caught up! Now I'm just relaxing with two very relieved kitties.  They were very well taken care of in our absence by former DR Jason and current DR Jose.  Walty seems to be experiencing a recurrence of his earlier problem, but I am hoping that a more frequent administering of his medicine combined with tummy rubs will keep him from having to pay another trip to the vet.  I'm not as nervous about it this time since we are here to keep an eye on him.

I don't think there would have been, DR FJL.  Walley played Gidget in the movies before THE MOTHERS-IN-LAW (I wish that series was on DVD!)


That is a scary thought!

And the word of the day is: DIAPHORESIS!

Which is what happens when I jog.
Originally, the chararcter Hero in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum was supposed to say "I PAID HORSES for their DIAPHORESIS," but someone decided the phrase "mare's sweat" was easier to understand.  No, really, it was either Shevlove or Gelbart who awoke one night, absolutely drenched, terrified that the part would be cast with an actor with an uncontrolable lisp.  Try it, say "I PAID HORSES for their DIAPHORESIS" with a lisp, you'll end up wetter than an otter's pocket.

HOO AND RAY!

My first time submitting a set of trivia answers, the first time I have gotten the answers correct; and, therefore, my first time winning the UTC.

Congratulations to all of the others; Jrand, FJL, and Cillaliz.  I could almost say that we all deserve to share this wonderful prize, but, of course, we don't.  I won it, and I am going to keep it!
