Because I enjoyed that documentary so much, I immediately went to the shelf and pulled BEAUTY AND THE BEAST off and watched its "Making of" documentary. Just as affecting and interesting, it made me want to put the DVD of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST in the player and watch it right then.

I resisted, but I will be returning to this in the next few days. I haven't watched the movie in years.

I finally went to to the DVR and watched Sunday night's DEXTER. A chilling episode (with a sequence involving an alligator that literally had me jump out of my chair) with a teen killer. I'm really enjoying this series. And Michael C. Hall, whom I've never found particularly sexy, is very sexy in this even though he's playing a character with a heart of ice and only feigning normalcy.

I concluded the afternoon with last night's CSI: MIAMI. A surprise murderer made the episode an enjoyable one, and there was an extra payoff with a crooked judge who's been dogging Horatio's trail for a couple of seasons now. I keep telling these crooks that they shoudl never mess with Horatio, but they don't listen.

I watched "Heroes" and "Studio 60" last night.

Only those shows.

And I managed to process about 300 DVDs from their keep cases into my new aluminum box (1,000 CDs/DVDs per box). I have about 850 available keep cases. Don't know what to do with them....store them? Toss them? Bundle 'em up and sell them on eBay? Recycle 'em?

Anyone with ideas on the topic, please let me know.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #95 on:** October 17, 2006, 01:43:56 PM »

Oh, yeah. I've got about 1,000 CD jewel boxes ready to recycle or throw out....and another 1,000 will join them in the near future.

It's AMAZING how much room these unnecessarily oversized containers take up. I'm going to be freeing up SO MUCH SPACE in my condo it's almost criminal!

Just back from looking at last night's overnight ratings.

It's an ominous sign for STUDIO 60. Not only did it fall 15% from last week's results (now under 8 million viewers), but WHAT ABOUT BRIAN on ABC, which couldn't find any kind of audience last season, finished second in the time period last night with 8.8 million viewers.

On the basis of this, I'm guessing NBC will not renew STUDIO 60 past its original 13 episodes.

It was announced yesterday that NBC would not take ER off the air for an extended hiatus and return it in the spring. The show will play the entire season with new episodes and reruns like other shows.

THE BLACK DONNALLYS, which was going into ER's spot, now has no home, and I'm guessing NBC will put it in the Monday at 10 timeslot.

BTW, DEAL OR NO DEAL won its time period at 8 with no problem, and HEROES also held up to the ratings levels of its other episodes.

From George:Oh yes I can!! I’m so happy Ebonie is safe inside the condo.

Be sure to buy the safety stretch cat collar. After a few scary situations with cat collars our indoor cats never wore them. We were just super careful not to let them out & constantly did a cat count, even if the door was never opened. You have just learned how cats can get into some scary spots. I never used the washer or dryer without knowing where the cats were, and then there was the time the cat jumped in the frig while I wasn’t looking. Lucky for us all I opened the frig back up when I didn’t see him.

Thanks! I hadn't thought about the stretch collar, but I will definitely get one.

Headed down now to clean the living room, read next week's T V GUIDE, and then back to viewing.

Back from multitudinous errands and going and doing. Finally have The Brain CDs to give the cast, so that's good. I was hoping to have my meeting/dinner with publicist early, but he's in Malibu and won't be leaving until four-fifteen, which, given traffic and rush hour, means he won't get back here until six.

DR MBarnum, you mentioned that you had some Raymond Scott CD's. You might love this new compilation, which includes not only 24 versions of "Powerhouse", but numerous other covers.

There are about 18 songs performed by the RS Quintette, and each song is followed by at least one cover from another artist...all wrapped up in Irwin Chusid's beautiful packaging and liner notes.

A piece of trivia: Raymond Scott's son is also an editor. He worked on a lot of great stuff, including "Hair" and "Woodstock". He was also one of the editors on "Remember WENN". Stanley and I were the editors being considered for an immense Joseph Papp documentary. I would have had to work up in NY for at least a year (whiuch wouldn't be all bad) but I couldn't bear the thought of being away from my beloved for so long.

It turned out that Stanley was the perfect guy for the job. Not only did he have the home court adantage, so they wouldn't have to pay to put him up, (the filmmaker was actually going to give up her apartment to me and move in with a friend) but also his family knew Joseph Papp personally.

The project ultimately stalled for several reasons, but I hope it will be finished one day. Papp had 3 full-time archivists on staff and there's a mind-numbing amount of material available---beautiful footage, too!

I want one!!

But instead I followed Cillaliz's recommendation and bought myself a Toro leaf blower/vacuum/mulcher. Now I won't dislike the large trees in my front and back yard any longer.

Have fun with it. It's still work, but it's a lot easier than raking

I always do head counts before I leave the house, but apparently I forgot to do that this morning. When I came home I couldn't find Boo, I called and called and then I heard her howl...so I looked around opened doors and finally saw a little white paw sticking out from under the coat closet door.
Poor thing she'd been locked in there all day long.

It didn't take long before she ran to the litter box, then I made her a big dinner and gave her some cat nip. She's fine and my guilt has been taken care of.

Suzanne Pleshette, on the "Tonight Show", once referred to Donahue as "the blond dummy." Or am I misremembering what show she was on when she called him that?

I am sure you remember correctly. Mr Johnny Carson enjoyed having Susanne on his show often.

Once when he asked her if she ever watched her old movies on television, she replied that the makeup and costuming was so extreme that she often thought her nipples were earrings.

A Tale of Two Cities....the Dirk Bogarde version will always have an edge for me in the LEADING roles, although the Colman supporting players have the advantage.

Speaking of the title of the notes....didn't Mr Carson once threaten to write an autobiography titled I FED THREE WIVES?

Glad the kitty is safe, DRGEORGE.

Good afternoon Drs........I hope everyone is having a splendiforous day so far!

Some of my favorite words to say, just for the way they pronounce and sound, are Jewish......the problem is that I'm probably not correct on spelling much of the time. One favorite is "schoene punim" ; this was said by a friend of mine's mother, as she would squeeze the 2 sides of my face together, and then giggle.

Hi Esteemed, toned, buffed, and phlegm-free BK --

I hope all of the plans are falling in place for the NYC trip. I also really hope that the nasty weather front hanging around the east is moved well away by the time you get there.

...I was hoping to have my meeting/dinner with publicist early...

I thought that the first letter in someone's name is usually capitalized. Perhaps this early person has an affectation, to use all lower case.

In which case, shouldn't EARLY USE ALL CAPS, SINCE PUBLICISTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SHOUTING THEIR NEWS TO EVERYONE???

Just asking.
