Matt has a horror film that is shopping for distributor but I dont think I will be watching that one. I think the title is the Exorcism of Tina Miller or something like that. He plays a priest.

Yes, "Lamb to the Slaughter" was great but was a half hour HITCHCOCK, not an hour like "The Unlocked WIndow" and "The Jar" which I also very fondly (and creepily) remember. Another hour show I remember with some dread was "The Magic Shop."

"The Unlocked Window" is in some ways reminiscent of THE SPIRAL STAIRCASE, another great creepy thriller.

The child actor discussion on TCM was so wonderful, so fascinating that I wanted to sit through the entire thing again (I didn't but will watch it again soon). I knew before I watched that Jane Withers would be the rah-rah cheerleader (very Ann Miller-ish in her enthusiasm for the business and saw no downside).

I just adored Darrell Hickman and could have listened to him talk for hours.

The two ladies in their heydays were so much bigger stars than the two gentlemen, and I was so glad Darrell mentioned that fact early-on. Put their careers and the treatment they received in great perspective. And his career after being a child actor has been so interesting and multi-faceted. He impressed me greatly.

Next, I watched THE NEW ADVENTURES OF OLD CHRISTINE. Not as funny as last week, but it certainly did have some excellent moments, particularly Christine and Matthew mapping out a family tree on the dry erase board. I was laughing out loud with that.

I have to say that CBS now has a very, very strong block of reliable comedy series on Monday. I look forward to watching three of those four every week now (have never been able to enjoy TWO AND A HALF MEN; don't like any of the three leading men.)

Next up was CSI: MIAMI. An interesting case with counterfeiting and murder at the core, and a surprising revelation about one of the CSI team.

I'm saving VANISHED to watch tonight at 8, so instead I went to a MUPPET SHOW DVD and picked one with guest star Steve Martin. This was done when Steve Martin was not a huge star yet, but a reliable comedy name for making balloon animals and playing the banjo. Funny show with almost nothing of Miss Piggy in this episode. That makes it a very unusual outing.

And to wrap up the afternoon I put in a Season 2 disc from THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN and watched "Perry White's Scoop," the episode involving the man in  a diving suit shot in broad daylight on the city street. A good mystery for the show.

I also started "Lady in Black," but only got about ten minutes in before ending my afternoon of viewing. I'll finish it tonight.

As much as I'm looking forward to VERONICA MARS, I probably won't watch it tonight either. I'll record it and watch LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT.

Due to VERONICA's in-depth mysteries, I find it helpful to be able to go back and rewatch sections of the show sometimes, and watching it "live" doesn't allow for that comfortably.

I also enjoyed the Child Star Interviews last night.  Very interesting comments from all four participants.

Moore and Hickman - Withers and O'Brien, all had some stories to share.  And then I watched BRIGHT EYES....

That clip of the dancer wearing the Dickie Moore "mask" was scary.

It seemed so obvious after he mentioned it, but I certainly had never noticed it before.

And isn't it funny that so much was made at the time of "first screen kisses." Shirley's was more of a peck that grazed her lips.

Even the one Robert Stack planted on Deanna Durbin in FIRST LOVE wasn't earth-shaking.

Life was so much more innocent then, at least, on the screen!

Anyone know anyhting about the Ramada Hollywood on N. Vermont Avenue?  They seem to have great deals (as low as $100), and also seem to be just a few blocks from L.A. Community College?  Is the neighborhood safe?

DER BRUCER - Wsan't AUNTIE MAIM a horror film, though?  (a Get Smart reference)

As opposed to AUNTIE MANE, the story of a thoroughbred racing for hay; and

AUNTIE MAN, an antiques dealer in a small Utah town given to wearing turbans and dispensing pez from a Little Lulu dispenser.

If it weren't for Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, I'd probably like the show.  But I cannot watch with her in it.

And the word of the day is: AMELIORATE!

Ordinary daughters ameliorate their lot
Use their charms and choose their futures,
Breed their children, heed their mothers.

Ordinary daughters, which mine, I fear, is not,
Tend each asset, spend it wisely
While it still endures--
Mine tours!

DR FJL, I believe you want Los Angeles CITY College!  Is there a community one as well?
