I've been watching "Carol Burnett and Friends" on ME-TV recently.

Musical guests such as Mama Cass and Melba Moore have guest-starrred.

Also, Joel Grey.

I don't know if these half-hour gigs represent the entire show or an edited-down version of an hour-long show.

As for Mama Cass.  She and Carol did a non-musical skit together.   Ditto with Melba Moore.  No singing.

Joel Grey got to "sing" a very silly (and nearly unending) duet with Harvey Korman.  They were both dogs in a pet store trying to get adopted.

Very trite and dull.   Am wondering why these shows weren't better, given the reputation of the series!

I had a similar feeling about some of the "lost" hour-long episodes. Not all of the material was classic. But when it was, it could be side-splitting.

No.  Earlier.

Sun Valley Serenade?

No, later.  Earlier than 1969....later than 1965.

DR Elmo:  You understood I was talking about today's Filichia column on "1776" and not his column in general, yes?

No. I have not checked out his column today.

Ah!

Well, I hope you and ChasSmith check it out.

[Ron Pulliam]

Golly!  50 minutes since the last post, if I'm not reading the time stamp incorrectly.

I've only dealt with the music preparation. I'm seeing it tomorrow.

[Ron Pulliam]

I see 7 guests...and George...are online here right now.

[Ron Pulliam]

White is is quite cool here today, we are warming up over the weekend...into the 70s during the day.  By next Wednesday, we're told to expect temps in the 80s.  And then....

....temps will drop 10 to 20 degrees for the rest of the week.

[Ron Pulliam]

Where have the people gone?

Seems like there's no one hangin' on.

Look through the window, the houses are empty,

Hey!  Everybody's out of town.

Seems like I'm the only one around.

[George]

I just got back from lunch (I didn't sign out) and am listening to "Sun Valley Serenade."  As Tony the Tiger says, "It's great!"

[Jane]

Well, just arrived from Sweden (I had actually ordered this from the European website, but it's not listed there anymore) is the reissue set of Barbara Dickson's four theatrical recordings, More Brecht Than Broadway! (The link is from the US site.)  The set includes "John, Paul, George, Ringo... and Bert," "Blood Brothers," "The 7 Ages of Woman," and "Spend Spend Spend."  The only recording that I already have is "Blood Brothers."  I don't mind an extra copy to be able to get the rest of the set.

What's REALLY cool is that it's "Strictly limited to just 1000 individually numbered copies, the first 500 signed by Barbara!"

I got number 006!

Congrats on your new CD and low number

[Jane]

HOWEVER...the problem is that I think I may have ordered this twice.  I got an e-mail saying that it was shipped, but then when I logged into my account on their UK site (from where I ordered it), there was a message saying, "This credit card authorisation failed".  I updated my info, but then it showed my original order from last November as "Pre Order" and another order as "Order Placed Successfully"!  I sent a couple of e-mails but no one has responded!  We'll see if I get another copy...which I don't need.  It cost about $86 with shipping!

Oh oh.  Can you decline to accept it?

[Jrand74]

I like Dom as well.....but she won her season....seems a bit like double dipping.

[Jane]

I am going through my contacts in my cell phone and checking the information is in our gmail contact list.  I expect to have a new phone next week.

I don't know.  It's coming all the way from Europe.  I don't know if that's an option.  Maybe I could sell it on eBay for a bit of a profit!

[George]

I just did a quick search on eBay and couldn't find any listing.  Of course, it's brand new, so who knows if it'll be available from someone else.

[George]

And now, I'm off to the theater.

Until later.

Page four?  Really?

[Jane]

I can't do any more contact corrects, my body hurts too much.  I still have about 50 left to do.  Boy, do we have addresses missing. 

[Kerry]

I just got back from lunch (I didn't sign out) and am listening to "Sun Valley Serenade."  As Tony the Tiger says, "It's great!"

I plan on buying that once I can afford it.  I've had other expenses lately, but it's a CD I definitely will be adding to the collection.

[vixmom]

I am going to 1776 tomorrow night- 

[ChasSmith]

Oh, I meant to comment on that this morning.  I'm so glad you made that happen, DR vixmom!

[John G.]

The Abominable Dr. Phibes disc wouldn't play, at least in my old DVD player, which may need to be retired. So, I've started Frenzy. I've forgotten how wonderful this movie is. It's one of my all-time favorite Hitchcock movies.

[bk]

We really do want to get off this damn page.

[John G.]

Yes, we do.

[John G.]

So, let's move on.
