Well, you've read the notes, the notes were soupy, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently looking for White Fang and Black Tooth.

And the word of the day is: ETESIAN!

I had a brain fart last night.

When I posted the link about Soupy Sales' death, I had somehow skipped almost a whole hour of posts...including BK's original posting about it. Oops (that's spoo spelled backwards).

And on that note, B-flat, I'm going to bed.

TOD: The new solo albums from Liz Callaway, Rebecca Luker, and Kate Baldwin.

For many years, I have had a strong desire to record William Finn's "Anytime (I Am There)" and have that played at my own memorial service. Well, now that song has been supplanted by Steve Marzullo's "Remember." It's on Rebecca Luker's new album. And it's an exquisite little gem!

Friday! A work day.

TOD:

CD - A CHORUS LINE OBC
DVD - WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS

MR BK failed to mention the leading lady of ZOTZ, Julia Meade, who had a "nude" scene that required her to wear a flesh colored bathing suit that was so ugly she said she would rather have done the scene in the altogether. I think there was some flap in the papers about the coin itself being valuable....but then again Mr Castle was the King of Ballyhoo!

DR JOSE - the show was October 15, 2006, from the Schoenfeld, I think. I guess I am used to just the bumps from the album......but no he only said "Don't dance" once....maybe she was already too far along....or maybe she stopped the first time he said it.

I'm listening to Revolver right now. Because I have a better computer I can actually listen to CDs at work now. I decided to go for some old comfort music.

Revolver
Rubber Soul
Peter, Paul and Mary (the first album)
No Easy Walk to Freedom (Peter, Paul and Mary)
Flowers and Stones (Peter, Paul and Mary)
Songs of Conscience and Concern (Peter, Paul and Mary)
Mecca for Moderns (Manhattan Transfer)
Beautiful Baby (Nancy LaMott)

Anthony is on Long Island until tomorrow. He had some business to attend to.

I have no viewing plans for the evening. I may still do the laundry (our usual Friday afternoon activity and then dinner out) but I may wait until tomorrow morning.

Midtown was busy last night!

Getting from 46th and Broadway to 53rd and 9th took some maneuvering but we made it.

After dinner I walked Ginny and Richard back to their luxury digs on 53rd and Broadway.

Ginny · « **Reply #14 on:** October 23, 2009, 05:23:18 AM »

Friday morning greetings! Richard is off to morning prayer at St. Mary's and will bring breakfast for us back with him. I'll need to be showered before he returns.

Ginny · « **Reply #15 on:** October 23, 2009, 05:24:05 AM »

DR Jeanne - thank you for sharing your fantastic news with us! Hope you can now be on the road to recovery!

I dimly recall a syndicated Soupy Sales show that was in color. I'm thinking that this would be late 60's/early 70's but I'm not sure...

Ginny · « **Reply #17 on:** October 23, 2009, 05:25:14 AM »

Thanks, Ben, for refreshing my memory about Giorgio's and for making the trek to midtown to join us for dinner last night.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 23, 2009, 05:26:01 AM »

That's the version I remember, DR DtM.

I also had a Soupy Sales album called The Spy With a Pie.

And now I am off to work. Oh well.

Ginny · « **Reply #19 on:** October 23, 2009, 05:27:18 AM »

Soupy Sales

He was a major TV personality in Detroit when I was growing up. I went home from elem school for lunch and ate on a tray in front of the TV. When I finally got chicken pox (in 7th grade - how humiliating!) I remembered his caution not to scratch because your face would end up looking like a golf ball.

Druxy · « **Reply #20 on:** October 23, 2009, 05:38:26 AM »

I have no idea what I'm going to watch this weekend.

Perhaps some more episodes of FLASHPOINT and NUMB3RS.

I finished watching the final season of THE UNIT yesterday. That was a very good show. Too bad it was canceled.

Good morning!

Very balmy this morning, but rain is on the way and there will be a cool-down over the weekend. Nothing severe, but definitely won't be as warm in the mornings as it was this morning.

Matt H. · « **Reply #24 on:** October 23, 2009, 05:54:33 AM »

For some reason, none of the television stations in my area carried any version of Soupy Sales, so I didn't grow up with him at all. When he'd make a guest appearance on Judy Garland's show, for example, or Ed Sullivan, he was just another personality, but I never knew he had his own series until I started reading books on the history of television, and SOupy was always a part of the section on children's TV along with Captain Kangaroo and Ding Dong School and Pinky Lee and Howdy Doody, all of whom were shown in my area and all I was much more familiar with than poor Soupy.

Matt H. · « **Reply #25 on:** October 23, 2009, 05:55:42 AM »

I did not watch THE GUARDIAN shows I have left this morning. I decided there was no great demand for the review, so I'll watch them this afternoon and get the review up by 4:15 or so. It's all written, but depending on the content of those last two shows, I might have to tweak it a little bit.

Good morning, all! At 11 am I have a haircut - gotta look good for the opening night partay - and then I go to the NYPL for a couple of hours. I've been away from THE LADY OF THE SLIPPER and i need to get myself back into the show if we're ever going to finish it.

TOD:
DVD: Oh God, those three Netflx picks still sit here and I don't rememebr what they are!
CD: Guy Haines, Liz Callaway, Kate Baldwin, plus a little Mozart and Sondheim
VCR: look, Ma, new porn!

I was livid this morning when reading the newspaper. The local CBS affiliate is having a retrospective on its many years of service to the area tonight (it was the first TV station in the area), and they are preempting MEDIUM to show their special.

Yes, they're showing MEDIUM in the wee hours of the morning, but I'll watch it on HD On Demand which thankfully has all of the series episodes produced by CBS/Paramount a day or two after they air on the network. I should be able to see it in HD on Sunday, I think.

Matt H. · « **Reply #28 on:** October 23, 2009, 06:02:06 AM »

A new series is airing on USA tonight: WHITE COLLAR which has gotten VERY positive reviews from several outlets which I read.

It stars the actor who was so good playing Bryce Larkin on CHUCK for two seasons. Sounds like it's going to be a marvelous new series along the lines of BURN NOTICE, PSYCH, or ROYAL PAINS.

It airs at 10 p.m. after MONK.

And Bitty Schram (Sharona) returns to MONK tonight for a guest shot. It will be good to see her again.
