Thumbs down from my niece on the new Howie Mandel show.

My brother-in-law was watching. The threw a bucket of wine on some lady. My niece ran out of the room screaming, "this show is not for me!".

I have never seen her run screaming from tv. But she was scared by the show and kept asking me why they were throwing wine on the lady!

S. Woody White · « **Reply #35 on:** January 17, 2009, 06:24:46 AM »

Was it red wine or white?

If it was red wine, it could have been a lead-in for an OxyClean ad.

Quoth MattH yestereve:

Quote

TOmorrow I'll be working on a Comedy CEntral stand-up special which shouldn't take all afternoon and evening. I've never heard of the comedian, so it should be interesting and at least something new.

Then, on Sunday, I'll begin the final season of CHEERS in its upcoming boxset release.

Betsy's brother's wife was Production Manager on Cheers for most of its run. All of the support staff play bar customers in the two-part finale (when Shelley Long returned). You can see Betsy's brother and his wife in the booth stage right (screen left of the bar) throughout that episode.

Well, folks, it's PRODUCERS audition day. We have Bialy pre-cast (shhhh....don't tell anyone), but here's to finding a decent Bloom. I think we may need to go with a less than statuesque Ulla, but the woman I have in mind is gorgeous and can belt, so we'll simply put her in the highest heels she can walk in.

S. Woody White · « **Reply #41 on:** January 17, 2009, 07:21:50 AM »

Catching up with yesterday's posts. Lawdy, this group can be a bunch of Chatty Cathys.

Yesterday, der B was not entirely truthful about how his wife never knew he was gay. OK, what he said was that he never told her, but...

Since his wife and I met, at a Christmas dinner at their daughter's, then yes, she knew. I mean, c'mon, what other reason was there for my being at that table? Nobody is that dense. (She and I were cordial and polite the entire evening, if you're wondering.)

However, since I don't believe der B and his spouse ever discussed his sexual inclinations, he wasn't being dishonest, either.

...ADDITION

Never mind, I just read his further post where he told the same story.

However dot dot dot...

People figure us out as a couple a lot faster than the hour he figured it they would take to figure. Like, minutes, say!

We are cute together.

Send whoever is doing her costumes to Victoria's Secret, she'll look fine.

So I've been told.

I'm back from all my errands so I'm very happy for the nonce.

Today's taxi driver from Tunisia was a cheery and pleasant fellow to and from my drop-off place and I ran into my Cincinnati librarian friend Peggy and her husband Peter on their way to buy a tv at the closeout selling Circuit City. Peggy moved to New York in 1978 with her young man at the time, the late Eugene Sher, who was the primary mover in getting me to New York in June 1979. That's another story involving a U-Haul truck containing all of their property burning to a crisp on State Route 80, somewhere between Cincinnati and Manhattan around 4 am, an aborted theatrical showcase and the Drama Book Shop.

By 1983, Peggy was engaged to Peter, author of the New York history UPPER WEST SIDE STORY, and by 1986 or so, Eugene had moved to Los Angeles, where he died from a heart attack around 1999, too young and too unappreciated as an actor and mensch.

I'm making ginger tea from some ginger root and the apartment smells delightful.

Druxy · « **Reply #47 on:** January 17, 2009, 07:41:16 AM »

Favorite magazines?

I certainly remember getting the first issue of MAD. I even recall there was a hilarious spoof in there of the Gary Cooper/Burt Lancaster movie, VERA CRUZ, which was a big hit back then.

But, before that, I was really into all of the EC comic books, from MAD to TALES FROM THE CRYPT to FRONTLINE COMBAT to CRIME SUSPENSTORIES and the Sci-Fi mags, which occasionally ran a Ray Bradbury story.

I bought them all.

TOD:

MAD magazine, of course
LIFE
Look
Saturday Evening Post
My grandparents got the latter 3, and I spent a lot of time with them and would would spend hours looking through them. I am still amazed at how grim some of of the Life photos were.

Matt & Bruce, your various DVDs/BDs are on their way.

TOD:

My very first magazine was HIGHLIGHTS, but I only liked that one for the hidden picture puzzle--otherwise, I considered it "baby-ish".
I quickly moved on to the vastly more sophisticted JACK AND JILL, with its interesting stories (I loved the Baba Yaga tales), fun craft ideas and games and puzzles. I still have some of those stashed away.
Of course, there was FAMOUS MONSTERS which I devoured cover to cover. My devotion to this magazine and its subject matter led to my incessant viewing of horror movies, consequently leading to an interest in classic movies in general which, through movie musicals, opened my eyes to musical theatre and the stage.
MAD was another must-read for me, my favorite features being the TV and movie and song parodies. But I absolutely laughed my young butt off reading Al Jaffe's Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions.
Also, while they were not my magazines, our household was always stocked with the latest issues of LIFE, WOMAN'S DAY, FAMILY CIRCLE, READERS DIGEST, 16, TIGER BEAT, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC and TV GUIDE.
Comics, along with CREEPY, EERIE and VAMPIRELLA, are a different subject all together. (Not to mention PLAYBOY, PENTHOUSE and, eventually, PLAYGIRL.)

Good morning!

Bitterly cold once again though it's going to warm to the mid-30s today, something we didn't get close to yesterday. The heat has been running almost constantly even though I have it set on 60 while I'm upstairs since my office is much warmer than the downstairs.

The comic whose special I'll be watching later today is Russell Peters and his special is RED, WHITE, AND BROWN. There appear to be a fair number of special features on the disc, too, so I'll likely be tied up with this for a good chunk of the evening.

JUNO is making its paycable premiere on HBO today, but I never had much interest in the story after I read some reviews on the picture, so I doubt I'll record it.

Matt H. · « **Reply #59 on:** January 17, 2009, 08:02:27 AM »

The earliest magazines I can remember looking forward to reading were MAD and WALT DISNEY MAGAZINE (produced during the run of THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB). I was also a BIG fan of the DC/Superman universe, so I had to have ACTION, ADVENTURE, SUPERMAN, SUPERBOY, JIMMY OLSEN, and LOIS LANE whenever they appeared.

The biggest discovery for me as a kid was that I could SUBSCRIBE to my favorite magazines and not have to try to find them every month at the dime store. As I've always been someone who looked forward to mail delivery (like Christmas every day!), it was thrilling getting my magazines delivered to my home often days before they appeared on newstands.
