In other news...

After reading the WHOLE confirmation email sent to me from the folks at "The Daily Show", it looks like I'll have to head down to City Bakery before I go to the taping, since I won't get out of the taping until 7:15 (City Bakery closes at 7:00).

2 girls and 1 boy - Father Knows Best
2 boys - Leave It to Beaver

2 girls and 1 boy - Family Affair
3 boys - My Three Sons
3 girls - To Rome With Love
4 boys - Please Don't Eat the Daisies
2 Girls 2 Boys - The Partridge Family

I know I am leaving out LOTS of shows.....but I can't think of any shows with the 2 boys, 1 girl equation.

I don't understand why his performance is used to instruct judges. Was it that he was judged too high? I wonder what other well known skate performances are also used.

DR MattH would probably be able to answer this better. But I don't think it was because he was judged too high. This was the 1988 Calgary olympics. And basically Canada's hopes of winning a gold medal (it would have been the first ever at an olympics in canada) rested on brian orser.

There was a huge battle of the brians between US Brian Boitano and Canadian Orser.

I think that Brian Orser did skate amazingly and he thought he skated well enough to win. But he didn't (the judging was different then). Remember each country would rate each skater and it used to be out of 6.0. I remember it was very close.

Now there is a whole new system for ranking. I'd be curious if under this new system if brian orser would have won. Since they judge a lot on how many jumps you do and of what variety with each one having a predetermined value).

Don Francks is in MARRIED TO IT......Cybill Shepherd, Stockard Channing, and Robert Sean Leonard are all SO good - but everybody shines.....and Mancini does a sweet score.

And of course it's ALWAYS nice to hear "The Circle Game" - although Buffy Sainte-Marie's version in STRAWBERRY STATEMENT will always be my favorite.

DR Cillaliz re: that short track speed skating event of saturday night (when your power was out). Since you are cheering for a different country maybe you would enjoy the race.

Although i was reading an article online that said that apolo anton ohno is the most despised man in south korea. Ouch! I really like him and find that the koreans race extremely aggressively. One of them actually tried to pull the canadian favorite back at the finish line!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #78 on:** February 22, 2010, 10:37:19 AM »

DR CILLA LIZ - if Debbie had 6-week old triplets, we would probably be doing a waltz instead of a disco number!

I just looked at the startlist for the ice dancing tonight. The americans skate first, then the canadians (3rd to last), with the russian going last. Not too happy about this. Although i think it's worse for the US than for canada. But great for the russians.

It didn't help Plushenko any. I think the Russians are done. You can stick a fork in 'em.

Glint of Gold Never Left Orser’s Eyes

Thank you. I found it very interesting & had no idea Brian Orser was a coach. It was hard reading his disappointment in not winning the Gold. I would not be surprised if many of the competitors have similar difficulties dealing with the loss.

I don't understand why his performance is used to instruct judges. Was it that he was judged too high? I wonder what other well known skate performances are also used.

Orser won the free skate at Sarajevo in 1984, but lost the gold to Scott Hamilton who won the short program. Hamilton must have outscored Orser in figures as well, but I believe a French skater actually won the figures portion.

Orser was tied with Boitano after the free skate in 1988. The tie-breaker was the artistic marks, and Boitano had the edge there...so the gold went to Boitano.

Orser was an ideal skater. That is why a video of him skating might be among several used to instruct judges.

JR, I forgot to tell you yesterday, and I'm sure you'll want to get your own souvenir copy. Yesterday's Sunday Oregonian featured a lovely, full color photo of Ms. Libby Appel, accompanying an article extolling her virtues during her tenure at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

Hello, everyone.

I, too, am under the weather today. When it hits my sinuses, as it's now doing, I find it hard to think. Oy.

Vibes to all who are not feeling their best.

I've always ADORED the song SECRET LOVE. The LA FOUR used to do it in concert and on vinyl, and I simply couldn't get enough of it.

JMK · « **Reply #88 on:** February 22, 2010, 11:20:28 AM »

Frances could have sung SECRET LOVE as Calamity Jane in BADLANDS OF DAKOTA. If the song had been about vodka, of course.

I know I am leaving out LOTS of shows.....but I can't think of any shows with the 2 boys, 1 girl equation.

I can think of one, though the girl wasn't a teen-ager: NANNY AND THE PROFESSOR. And it was 2 boys, 1 girl on EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND, though both parents were living.

And THE PARTIDGE FAMILY was 2 girls, 3 boys, but then everyone always forgot about what's-his-name...
