Well, "Trading Spaces" sort of fessed up when they had that special a few months ago that covered the filming of the New York City episode.  Segments are filmed out of order.  Those "impromptu" Paige drop-ins are not all that impromptu, and sometimes they're even re-filmed if there's a glitch, technical or otherwise.

And even though it was not said outright, the whole time limit, times up scenario is so that the production crew has time to film the finished rooms and do the pre-reveal interviews.  And there have been some unfinished rooms - projects dropped, painting "adjusted", stuff just thrown into a bin or covered up with some curtains, etc...

It's best not to analyze, and just be entertained.

I like Paige.  Not sure if I'll miss her or not.

Now, if you wanna talk about Evan Farmer and Jason Cameron on "While You Were Out", well, that would be a totally different story.

And, again, I did not blank anyone to get us to Page 7!!!

As for the Page Seven Dance...

I'm in the mood for a good ole, no holes barred Apache Dance.

I don't think that the people on While You Were Out can possibly believe that out of nowhere a camera crew appears to follow them around. If that isn't staged I don't know what is.

Thanks for the vibes DRs PANNI and DANISE - I am feeling better.  

And I am looking forward to THE TEMPTRESS.....I made a mental note when you mentioned it last week, DRPANNI.  And the promos look very interesting.  I am not certain that some of the past winners were that good at scoring a MOVIE.....a couple of them have been repetitive and dreary - but hopefully this one will work!

YES!  DR RON - I mentioned Project Runway last week....Wednesday nights on BRAVO.  I am rooting for Kara Saun and would have hoped that Wendy would have been sent packing last week - but there you are....yes talk about dripping with drama (a Petula Clark reference).....

Anxiously awaiting thoughts on THE PRISONER OF SECOND AVENUE.  I played the part in 1998 or so and I loved it.

Last night on one of the endless shows.....Mr Merv Griffin said that at an NBC affiliates meeting in NYC a few months before the deed - Mr Johnny Carson had asked the executives not to do or say something....they did....and when he was introduced, he proceeded to announce his retirement would take place the following May.

I seem to remember this story or a similar one being talked about at the time, but I had forgotten it.  Wonder if that executive is now producing reality shows.....or retired to an island without a television set?

It does, IMHO! (And that's not because I knew the composer when he was a freckle-faced tyke.) And it's a perfect movie to score because it's full of music in the story itself.
Glad you're feeling better, DR JRand.
(I see that TCM took out a full page ad in today's Variety for the film.)

Greetings, All

Welcome back, DR's ozderek and Ann - continue to feel better, both.

DR elmore - glad to hear the better-than-expected news.

DR Jrand - hope you're recovering, too.

DR cillaziz - congratulations on 100+; also, thanks for the description of your beautiful day in Iowa - hope it's on the way to SW Ohio!

My 2 appointments today were for a haircut (I'm developing a new "look" - the old one just wasn't working) and an eye exam.  Came home from the latter with my eyes so dilated I had to lie down.  That was several hours ago and I'm just now beginning to be able to see.

Well...

If I actually had blanked someone to bring us to Page 5, then that would have been sad.

And, furthermore, if I had had to blank who I probably would have had to blank to get us to Page 5 then that would have been pathetic.  And desperate.

DR JRand54:  I really do like Kara Saun, but I get SUCH a kick out of Austin Scarlett and Jay that I want them to continue on as long as possible.

I thought I was going to get a hernia laughing at Jay trashing Austin as they schmoozed that fashion writer...Jay accusing Austin of being a phony and "whoring" to win over the writer (it WORKED!) and Jay claiming he (in all his "humility," of course) was simply being himself while Austin WASN'T being himself (which he was...MORE than we normally see, I'm betting).

The judges eliminating that girl for saying she "based" her design on a couple of other designers' swimsuits (inspired by, but not COPYING), was a bit of crap, IMO.  They LOVED Jay's suit and the one who chastised the woman for admitting to having been inspired by another design stated she loved Jay's suit because it reminded her of another designer.

What the heck is that all about?  

Wendy is probably a very nice person.  But she has been out of her element more than once, and I think she should consider sticking to what she knows and stop trashing those who outshine her...cause they ALL DO THAT.

TOD - movie - perhaps A PLACE IN THE SUN. That's one. There are many others. More later, perhaps.
Stage - back at the Globe in the days of Shakespeare - any one of the plays
More "modern" - I'd like to have seen Tennessee Williams up close and personal at work - not to mention Kazan - so maybe STREETCAR (the young Brando would be a bonus with that one).
PRIVATE LIVES with Noel Coward and Gerturde Lawrence. The dialogue in the dressing rooms would have been as sparkling (and raunchier) as on the stage.
Musical - CAMELOT would have been fun - and DRAMATIC!


I almost asked who DR Amatic was!

I don't think that the people on While You Were Out can possibly believe that out of nowhere a camera crew appears to follow them around. If that isn't staged I don't know what is.

I happen to know two couples who have been on "While You Were Out" - just luck of the draw I guess.  Apparently, the production staff does a very good job of setting up the whole scenario.  Yes, people have questioned the cameras, and, yes, some people have figured out what was going on.  But, at least according to the two people I know, they didn't have a clew that they were being set up.

DR Elmore, I glad that you also had good news but I wish the doctor would have taken care of the problem 100%.


DRDanise, well, it is healing so maybe he did take care of it 100%?  If I still have to go through it again, I may revise my opinion!

A most interesting thing has happened:
I turned on my laptop (which I rarely use) and a window appeared that said I was connected to the internet. I clicked on IE, and lo and behold, here I am!

Interesting, since I have no modem cord attached.

Yes, it certainly has been a lovely day around here.  Quite nicer than over on that fershluganah side of the mountains I normally call "home."

Good news, DR elmore!  Glad to know things are looking more positive for you.

(Of course, if I had just been in the same studio with Brent Barrett, things would be looking up for me, as well)

And yes, Ron, I do mean it that way!
