Then I watched tonight's BETTER OFF TED. A funny show about motion sensors that discriminated against black people. The romance thing was not as interesting. Move on, folks.

LOST had a very involving episode which tied up some loose ends to previous events we had seen (but also left us with some more questions.) So wonderful to contemplate everything.

During the LOST commercials, I managed to flip over and see who was eliminated on tonight's IDOL. Sweet guy but had no chance of winning so the time was right for him to go.

I finished my evening watching tonight's season finale of LIFE. Like DR Elmore, I really enjoyed it, and with that lengthy story arc now completed, maybe the show could become a quirky, close-ended procedural that could gain a much bigger following. I do wish NBC would give it 13 more episodes to prove itself next season.

BK thank you for sharing your story in the notes again today.

I think it's time for me to head downstairs to bed.

Good night!

We want the Florie Dories - we want the Florie Dories.

Did any of them have a monkey in her bustle the way Spanky did?

I just found out from my buddy Reg Lewis that two acquaintances of mine passed away. Both worked with Reg in Mae West's nighclub act back in the 1950s.

Armand Tanny passed away on Saturday at age 90. He was a super nice guy and we were going to do an interview but he would only do it if I came down in person. Unfortunately that never happened.

Here is his obit: http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-armand-tanny9-2009apr09,0,245042.story

Also, Irvin "Zabo" Koszewski passed away March 29 at age 84. I believe he was still living in the Santa Monica area. He worked in films from time to time like ATHENA and SPARTACUS and even played one of the apes in PLANET OF THE APES.

Even into his 80s he had better abs then most guys in their 20s!

I never interviewed him, but he was kind enough to autograph a couple of the old Health magazines that he was on the cover of back in the day.

What is ironic is that most of the famous bodybuilders of today will likely never reach the age that these old timers did, because for so many of the current crop it isn't about living a healthy lifestyle like it was for the old timers, it is only about winning and being the biggest, by any means possible.

Back from my designers, with a lot of discussion about how the new Kritzerland site will operate. Hopefully, he'll come up with the design choices quickly, because once we settle on one everything flows from there.

Then I worked with his daughter on the Bacharach benefit editing, smoothing as much out as I could, given the ineptitude with which it was shot - two cameras operated by complete amateurs.

Since most of us are of a certain age...I will ask:

What is your favorite TELEVISION musical (not episode, but one off) that you remember?

I remember an Armstrong Carpet version of KISS ME KATE with Robert Goulet and Carol Lawrence....it was very funny....and colorful! Although I didn't realize it then, they cut most of Bianca/Lois' part.

I remember really, really liking MARY'S INCREDIBLE DREAM, a Mary Tyler Moore CBS special that told the story of mankind through song, dance and fiddle playing (Doug Kershaw was a guest.)

I bought a copy of a copy of a copy, etc., of "Mary's Incredible Dream" on eBay years ago. It's in a box somewhere. I never watched the whole thing, though.

DR George, IF you ever dig it out and IF you decide to make a DVD of it for yourself...

If I can find it...

Guess I missed the Seasaw bus. I'll be looking for it on eBay, I suppose.

For tv fans of: PUSHING DAISIES, ELI STONE AND/OR DIRTY SEXY MONEY:

I have good news. ABC is airing all the remaining episodes on Saturdays starting the end of May.

Yeah! I would thank ABC except that it's ridiculous that 2 of these 3 were cancelled at all!

I ushered for Altar Boyz tonight and it was a very good show. Great energy and very cute guys.

Right now, I'm at home and watching "The Unusuals." I recorded "Lost" and will watch that later. The lead woman in "The Unusuals" has parents and the actors who play her parents are Joanna Gleason and Chris Sarandon, both of whom were in the Broadway flop, Nick & Nora.

Well, here's a Scientology Horror Show: Travolta and Cruise are remaking "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." Another Must-Miss Movie!

What a completely horrible, totally worthless idea! Good lord! People are paid to come up with these ideas!

Well, just coming up with the idea isn't the problem. It's the people who say, "Let's do it!" and pay for it, and cast it.

Dear MBarnum, I agree about today's bodybuilders, between the super foods, pills, drinks, (and drugs) their body can not survive to be old.

I wondered what the original version of your post meant.

Sam · « **Reply #355 on:** April 08, 2009, 11:39:36 PM »

I've been thinking about this since I read today's notes. When my husband's father was in the hospital he wanted to see everyone during the last couple of days. He also was just mean, said really nasty things, and blamed everyone for whatever he was angry about. My husband and I did not go into the room, we were OK with not wanting to hear it, he never had a nice thing to say about his son or me, and would verbally abuse us in front of our daughter (she was just a little kid).
