Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of a partridge but not a pear tree, and now it is time for you to post until the family cows come home.

Good morning, all!

Very strange night of sleep. In one dream, the Wicked Witch of the West was hiding out in the hall closet of the house I grew up in, and then Judy Garland as Dorothy was fighting zombies. There was a graveyard in it at some point, and someone's brother - mine> was it Toto - had their head chewed off byt a zombie bewfore Dorothy killed it.
-
I don't plan to do much, mostly lie down with the cats and maybe watch some DVDs.

TOD
Donna Reed Show
My Three Sons

-
Back in THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY days, Dave Madden was my publicity client.
Nice guy.
-
I think my aunt had a Plymouth EMOLLIENT.
-
With the exception of THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY, I never really watched the "family comedy" shows.
Not my cup of tea.
-
DR DRUXY Paul Henreid's daughter does a betweener on TCM talking about her father.
It's a very nice tribute and has some great clips. I like him in everything......but especially DECEPTION!
-
Vibes for DR GEORGE and his family on this day! I liked the photos very much.
-
What great photos in the notes! And great stories.
THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY - NOW starring BRUCE KIMMEL!
-
What did Ricky Segall have to say? I would guess he would not have been very popular with the populace......
-
My son, David, was over yesterday for his birthday celebration.
Nice afternoon.
Great cake.
I wish he hadn't taken the rest of it home with him.

TOD:
Leave It To Beaver
The Donna Reed Show - I loved Shelley Fabares & Paul Peterson
The Partridge Family - loved the music and Shirley Jones and David Cassidy and Susan Dey and Danny Bonduce.....so much fun.
The Waltons
The Patty Duke Show
-
Glad that the Partridge events went well.
I wonder how they would have been different if they had been in-person.
-
Nothing special at all planned for my day.
-
Holding space today for DR George and family.
-
I liked the photos, and that urn is beautiful.
-
Good morning, all.

Mom isn't feeling too well this morning. I think she tries to do too much. She's laying down for a nap.

I misread the TOD, I was thinking it was shows from back when we were kids...if any family shows I would have to add
Six Feet Under
Arrested Development (yep the first run, John G)
This is Us (although I’ve fallen way behind and need to ketchup)

Hi, KevinH!

Partridge events sound great.
But no Susan Dey?

Too many to name. Hell, too many to even remember.
Hare are a few, with thanks to others for reminding me of some of them, old and new:
I Love Lucy
Honeymooners
Ozzie and Harriet
Donna Reed Show
Leave It To Beaver
Father Knows Best
Make Room for Daddy
My Three Sons
The Partridge Family
Addams Family
The Munsters
Andy Griffith Show
All in the Family
Married...With Children
(I have no shame.)
Which reminds me: Shameless
-
I love these contemporary ones, too, even if they aren't sitcoms.
But they're about family, damn it. :)
Six Feet Under
The Sopranos
Big Love
And how about some animation?
Family Guy
American Dad
Bob's Burgers
-
Well, there you have it, my illustrious contributions for the day.
Maybe somebody else will post and help us out of this mess.
-
Last night I followed BK's recent example and pulled out the Presumed Innocent / Frantic disc. I had seen the former only once, back when I got that Blu-ray, so I watched it straight through and hugely enjoyed it. Yeah, that cast really makes it. I had completely forgotten about Raul Julia's role in it. It's really wonderful.
Then, since it was late and I'm much more familiar with it (even though I hadn't watched this one either since I got that disc), I flipped through a few scenes of Frantic. We'll be watching it soon, anyway, so I didn't want to gorge on it. But this transfer, in particular, is FROM HUNGER. And I don't even like that expression. So how about this one: This transfer, in particular, SUCKS.
There, that's better. Man, it's horrible. And this is from Warner. How many of these cheap-ass double feature things did they put out, anyway? I believe it's the only one I have, or even know about.
-
Next I think I'll follow another such example and pull out Black Widow. That will be especially enjoyable since the only time I've seen that one is when I got that disc, and right now I remember hardly anything of it.
-
I'm up, I'm up - about four-and-a-half hours of sleep and a fun movie-type dream that I don't think I figured in much.
-
The only other Warner double bill I had is Kelly's Heroes and another movie, can't remember which, maybe Where Eagles Dare?
-
She of the Evil Eye should be arriving soon.
-
Re Rick Seagall - everyone seemed to like him. I think there's been a bit of revisionist history because he certainly was not liked back then and he and David Bursky, the other new regular, were pretty much blamed for the show's demise, not that it was their fault. But he's now a handsome guy and apparently talented on popular on YouTube for something.
-
We all felt bad for Brian Forster who never got three words out and was absent for most of it. It's on Facebook, I think, and some YouTube channel. I'll try to find a link.
-
Good morning.
-
That's all I have to say today.

TOD

I liked Here Come the Brides.
-

I guess he liked the cake-lol
-
Mom isn't feeling too well this morning. I think she tries to do too much. She's laying down for a nap.
I hope she wakes up from the nap refreshed and feeling better.
-
I keep trying to post an image of my devil breath contraption, but it keeps saying the file is too large.
-
Is Leonard holding something white, or are those his chest markings?
-
Ten to go until the next page turn.
-
Oy!
-
Is Leonard holding something white, or are those his chest markings?
He's holding a crumpled piece of paper. He is all black, except for about 15 white hairs.
-
MR BK's WB Double feature mention reminds me that TCM has a double feature of two of my favorite movies today starting at 5:15 p.m. EDST.....
Where Eagles Dare followed by The Red Shoes......
-
I liked MY THREE SONS when Mike, Robbie, and Chip were the sons and Bub was around.....then Ernie came along, and he was okay.....but I never did like Uncle Charley (William Demarest)....he was just cranky with no redeeming qualities - and his red hairpiece plopped on his head was ridiculous.....then they brought on the cringe-worthy Beverly Garland as a new wife with Dodie as her daughter......UGH......
And I also hated it when Fred MacMurray played his Scottish cousin......
But I did like The Danny Thomas Show/Make Room for Daddy....it was always irritating to me when Marjorie Lord would think what she said was SO FUNNY that she would have to press her lips together to keep herself from laughing.....Deb Messing does the same thing.....
And the last couple of seasons of the original run produced by Thomas after Sheldon Leonard left were pretty grim.....topped off by Sid Melton and Pat Carroll as the Halpers......
-
Interesting about Ricky Segall but that is really revisionist if he's not being given flack......not his fault, I agree.....but obvious.
I read on his IMDB page that he directed and starred in a production of HAMLET......I am sure it was......something.......
-
Okay, so, BY POPULAR DEMAND...
Some photographic evidence of what the Assassins benefit involved:
https://shrtm.nu/4Rwq
Apologies in advance for the ads you'll have to click past.
It's my free Flickr account, and I'm cheap enough to keep it that way.
-
Oh I had Mr. Segall's qv. wrong:
Some of Mr. Segall's favorite parts have been the roles of Fagin in "Oliver", Tevye in "Fiddler On The Roof", Claudius in "Hamlet" (which he also directed) and "Saint John In Exile": a one-person play originated by Dean Jones (Mr. Segall is the only other actor Mr. Jones has ever allowed to do the show).
-
Wow that's a pretty cool setup DR CHAS SMITH!
I like it.....and I think I see the Audi in a shot or two.
-
Back from some matzoh brei at Jerry's Deli - I managed to kill ninety minutes there. Then to the mail place to pick up no mail, then home just as she of the Evil Eye was leaving. I pulled a few Blu-rays off the shelf for this weekend's viewing.

Just like going to the drive in! How large an audience was there?
-
DR George, I hope everything is going well today.
-
I don't know where the day has gone. This morning there was no hot water, but we now have hot water again.
-
I've had a first: all three cats refuse to go near their dinners tonight.
-
Speaking of cats, I've fallen in love with a one-year-old cat at the ACC named Tater Tot.

I looked twice cuz I didn't remember Leonard having white markings. Look closely and you can see a bit of paper below his right paw.
-

You probably don't see "that" Audi, because the space it was in is still vacant when these pictures were snapped, and it surely would have been escorted right up there. I remember noticing it pretty close to "curtain", and only because it still had its headlights on for a bit.
-

I agree about My Three Sons, except I thought Charley was ok and never noticed his hairpiece.
We recently watched some reruns of Danny Thomas. I thought Marjorie Lord was just having fun with the role.
-
I am glad I waited to read the notes on my computer, otherwise I would not have appreciated the photos.
-
DR Chas thanks for the photographic evidence of the Assassins benefit. It is far more than I imagined.

Just like going to the drive in! How large an audience was there?
I think they got something like 100 cars, with up to five people allowed in each. That's about half the capacity of the drive-in, and I think they tried to leave an empty space between each vehicle.

Andrew Lloyd Webber is back to offering stage shows on YouTube. This weekend, it’s the 30th anniversary of Fame. Not really liking the first half hour.
-
Have they announced what ALW's other offerings will be?
I didn't even look at the Met's this week. Too busy. It was all Puccini. Next week is Mozart, and I'll probably hit a few of those.

Hey all. It's was so nice to log on and see familiar faces and read good content.
I shall be back for more....
Things are fine here in the SF Bay Area. Still teaching tech and music - Distance Learning at the moment. In a few weeks, kids may be coming back to campus with about 120 pages of regulations and precautions - which are totally doable. So, that's exciting. My pups, Ben and Leo, are fine. Sometimes I miss doing theatre, sometimes I don't. Been doing a few recordings myself, some Facebook Live events as well, and that is fun. One day at a time.
It was nice to log back in again. I like that this can be a safe place.

Hi Matthew! Welcome home!
-
Leonard is supposed to get two new toys from Amazon tomorrow. If he understood English, he'd be excited.
-
Grandpa put together a birthday toy today. Leonard played in the box.
-
The box will probably be a bigger hit than the two new toys.
-
We just watched WHERE EAGLES DARE with Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood.
Hadn't seen it for years.
Still a good action movie...with a few surprises.
-

Welcome home, Matthew!
-
DR Matthew it is good to see you.
-
Four!

Probably.
-
To update Matthew: Jane, Ginny, and I are all part of the Granny Club.
-
Back to Fame. I have an hour left. Oy. Good performances, horrible script and score.
-
DR Singdaw did you have to quarantine after having your covid test prior to surgery? Keith's cousin will have to quarantine in his bedroom since he lives with his father. I was surprised about that.
-
Okay, it’s not as bad as Flashdance the Musical.
-
Yes, DR Jane - strict instructions to quarantine completely from time of COVID test to surgery.
-
Welcome back, DR Matthew.
-
bk, just watched "The Booksellers," a documentary available on Amazon Prime about the world of book collectors and book dealers. Interesting!
-
Back to Fame.
Are you gonna live forever?
-
To update Matthew: Jane, Ginny, and I are all part of the Granny Club.
Congrats!!!!
-
Started a book called Ritz and Escoffier about opening the first modern hotel in Lodon. Richard D’Oyly Carte is a character. Fun.
-
Back to Fame.
Are you gonna live forever?
It’s gonna last forever.
-
bk, just watched "The Booksellers," a documentary available on Amazon Prime about the world of book collectors and book dealers. Interesting!
I really want to see that.
-
Finished a movie. Maybe I'll watch The Booksellers now.
-
Fame is over. Except for the interpolated title song, only one song late in act 2 was any good. It was about a girl falling under the spell of the LA life. If you missed the show, you missed very little.
-
Good night, all.
-
Fame is fleeting.
Or so I’ve been told.
-
Welcome, DR Matthew!
-
I watched the first twenty minutes of Partridge with Shirley Jones (I started to type Jackson!), and it’s wonderful.
Yes, too bad about the technical mishegas. Mishegoss? Oh, you know.
But it’s great fun and I’ll watch the rest tomorrow.
-
I’ve also bookmarked “The Booksellers” to watch tomorrow.
Because damn it to hell, tomorrow is another day. Right? Am I right?

That is tough when there are other people in the home.

We watched part of that tonight and was just about to mention it. I too recommend it.
-
Welcome home Matthew!

It’s after 1 I should go to sleep
-
I wonder if I can find page 5 first
-
One more?
-
There we go!
-
To update Matthew: Jane, Ginny, and I are all part of the Granny Club.
Congrats!!!!
Thanks. Unfortunately we have been too nervous about traveling to go meet our granddaughter.
-
Watched The Booksellers - I enjoyed it but it's so New York-centric and there are so many great dealers, many of whom I know well, all around the country. And it also veers off into other directions that weren't necessary, but I did enjoy it. And how nice to see a book fair with people and no one wearing masks, circa a couple of years ago.
-
Feel better vibes to DR John’s mother!
-
I have never seen ASSASSINS, is Santa Claus a character in the show?
-
Quiet evening at HHW.
-
U N D E R P A N T S !
-
I hope all went well for George and his family today.
-
Hello, vixmom.
-
I went to the store today.
-
The excitement never ends in Puyallup.
-
Tomorrow I am going to drive in to Lakewood for a bit.
-
First, I will spend at least sometime on my book.
-
Vibes for DR GEORGE and his family on this day! I liked the photos very much.
Thanks, Jrand!

Hi, Tom and Vixmom.
-
This week, my friend (and Jane’s and George’s), Sharry and I are having lunch on Tuesday.
-
Hi, George.
-
Well, today was a day. I didn't get enough sleep (of course) and had to be at my mom's by 8:00 am, but I made it.
-
This week, my friend (and Jane’s and George’s), Sharry are having lunch on Tuesday.
Nice. Please tell her hi from me. :)
-
I hope the day went okay for you and your family.
-
We get to the church and eventually everyone who is going to show up, shows up.
-
Today, they had a full liturgy (mass) and the priests referenced my dad a few times during the service.
-
Before the liturgy, the military honors was performed.
-
Two men were in the chapel with the flag that my mom got from the funeral home, and a third person (a woman) was outside playing Taps on the bugle.
-
The two men ceremonially unfolded the flag, then snapped it fully open for a few moments, then ceremonially refolded the flag and gave it to my mom. It was VERY moving and touching.
-
I was sitting right next to her and when it was over, she handed me the flag and had to look in her purse for some tissues. Fortunately, she actually had some, because I didn't.
-
The priests then went through the whole service and it was mostly sung, but this time, the programs with all the text didn't have any music, so most people who weren't regular Byzantine church goers just followed along or watched.
-
Two men were in the chapel with the flag that my mom got from the funeral home, and a third person (a woman) was outside playing Taps on the bugle.
The flag came from the funeral home? I always understood that the VA provided the flag.
-
I think there were close to 40 people or so there.
-
Six!

I don't know. Maybe I just thought that the funeral home provided the flag because my mom said that they were going to contact the military about his death (and the stopping of his benefits). :-\
-
Here's the flag in front of his urn after the whole ceremony:
-
And here's a wide-angle view of the whole church:
-
Yes, I checked, the flag is provided by the Veteran’s Department.
-
Here's the flag in front of his urn after the whole ceremony:
Very nice, George.
-
After the service, we all went to the hall next door and turkey or egg salad sandwiches (homemade) and chips and peanut butter cookies (not homemade) and coffee and water were provided. The memory board that my sister made was in that room and other people came to look at it and really enjoyed it, too. :)
-
Yes, I checked, the flag is provided by the Veteran’s Department.
I stand corrected...while sitting on my bed! ;)
-
Good night, George. I hope you can relax tomorrow.
-
Here's the flag in front of his urn after the whole ceremony:
Very nice, George.
I agree. :)
-
I took a picture of the memory board in the church's hall, but there was too much glare to get a good picture. We brought it to my mom's house and I was going to take a picture there, but I forgot. I'll get one tomorrow because tomorrow is my sister's birthday and everyone's coming over to my mom's for that.
-
After we got to my mom's house (only the family came today), I went and got some pizza (Costco was a madhouse! :P ) and we play...guess what?? Phase 10! And guess what again...I lost. ::)
;)
-
Good night, George. I hope you can relax tomorrow.
Thanks but I won't...not really. It's my sister's birthday tomorrow.
-
After we all left my mom's house, I went shopping for gift for my sister and ended up getting a gift card to Vic's Pizzaria (https://www.vicspizzaoly.com/). My sister and her daughter really like their vegan pizzas. I don't love their crusts, but since it's for my sister, it doesn't matter.
-
I then came home and relaxed a bit in my recliner and promptly fell asleep for a couple of hours. I got up and had dinner and now I need to ketchup on all of today's posts!
-
First, Congrats, BK, on the successful streaming back-to-back Partridge Family events!
-
Holding space today for DR George and family.
Thanks, David.
-
I liked the photos, and that urn is beautiful.
Thanks, again!
-
We all felt bad for Brian Forster who never got three words out and was absent for most of it. It's on Facebook, I think, and some YouTube channel. I'll try to find a link.
That's too bad. :-\
