Ah yes, as DRJMK wrote - Jack and Rexella are still at it.  They occupy at least a half hour a day on the TBN and Daystar Satellite Networks.  I have never seen Jack play the accordion, maybe he doesn't have time.  As JMK wrote, Rexella does read the newspapers (and letters and cards from viewers) and Jack comments on them.  

Jan & Paul Crouch (and their son and his perky wife and THEIR son) are staples on Praise the Lord a two-hour block that is the linchpin of TBN.  They broadcast out of Texas at times, but mostly from Santa Ana, CA.  Paul once said: "Don't send me any more letters about Jan's eye makeup or hair....send them to her."

Jan & Paul were a couple of the Philistines (along with Jimmy Swaggart) who pillaged the satellite network that Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker had spent years building up.  The Bakkers worked themselves into sin and destruction getting the links and licenses, and when they fell, it was a sort of Old West free-for-all to get the airwaves....the Crouch family emerged the winners.

Page Two Jim & Tammy Dance.

They will always be my favorites and even Kevin Spacey & Bernadette Peters (talented as they are  :P) did NOT begin to capture their personalities in the TV movie about their rise and fall.

Broken leg vibes on the first day of reckoning (of three) - good vibes for the cast, crew, staff, AND director - and the caterer who is doing the party!!

I hope you are playing Alfred Hitchcock movie themes for the party!

Re: the new Jane Curtin comedy CRUMBS that was premiering last night.

I'm not sure what I think of this show.  It's not that easy to get involved in a new comedy.  It did have some moments of funniness.  And the actors are all pretty good.  But I'm not sure if the premise will keep me entertained.

Basically the mom, Jane Curtin is getting out of the looney bin.  Her husband has left her for a younger woman and she tried to run him over (or something like that).

She has one gay son (Fred Savage) and one playboy son (forget his name).  And the guy from Knots Landing plays the father (why can't i remember his name).

Like I said, I did laugh.  Jane Curtin is very good.  But I don't think I will watch every week.

Curious to know what others think.

DR George, I proposed that we swap W&G coastal broadcasts yesterday morning, but you never responded (it was either on page one or two). Yes, I would like the West Coast version of the show. I will dub you an East Coast version at some point today and try to get it in the mail tomorrow.

Re:  Will & Grace.  DR George did ask, night before last, if anyone on the east coast would be recording last night's show...and proposed a swap, as well.  I guess signals got crossed.

I thought the show reeked.  To HIGH HEAVEN.

LIVE does not suit this show.  The writing reminded me of the WORST of the "Frasier" episodes...the ones in which the writers, completely out of good ideas, wrote shows that made the stars look like blithering idiots/nincompoops.  Last night's "Will & Grace" seemed more an homage to "The Three Stooges" than anything connected to the characters that have been established over the past six years.  I was very, very disappointed with the entire enterprise.

Leslie Jordan WAS a hoot, though.

Last night's debut of "Crumbs":

DR Jennifer, what can I say?  I think I agree with you.

I was appalled at the "tracked" music...choral voices a la "I Married Joan" without any of the same effectiveness?  (If you don't know what I'm talking about, I simply cannot explain it).

And for every 5 minutes of show, it seemed we got 10 minutes of commercials.  I was totally LIVID at the number of commercials crammed into the all-too-frequent breaks in the show.  They ruined the pacing of what the actors were trying to accomplish, IMO.

I think it's an interesting concept and I thought all the actors were first-rate.

Although, I wouldn't call Fred Savage's brother a "playboy."  He's more like an out-of-control ladies man, but he's also a doofus.

I saw his original proposal which is what made me answer him the following morning. That was the message which I don't think he saw. At any rate, I will be burning him a DVD of the show.

The premise of CRUMBS seemed to be pretty close to OUT OF PRACTICE, to me.  And the humor didn't grab me in the promos, so I don't think I'll be watching this.  Mental illness is probably the lowest target to aim for in humor....and this didn't seem to be done well enough to be a satire.

But - as I said, I don't plan to watch, so that's all I will comment.

JMK-
Hilarious. Who knew I would awaken your inner Van Impe?

"Regarding his extraordinary memory in regard to Bible verses, Van Impe has said that he has memorized 14,000 verses, and that it took him 35,000 hours to do so."

How did he also have time to play the accordion???

Interesting news from DR CP that Clive Owen played Daniel in the London stage production of CLOSER....hmmmm....

As other DR's have written - I am agree that Mr Owen did a tremendous job in the movie as the Doctor.  And of course GOOD WRITING helped a LOT!
