The birthday girl!

[Jrand74]

EB is up! It's really a mini review.  I wonder what happened to James Kenney who played Herbert on the stage....I can only find one actor by that name - and he was on IMDB, so he might not even be the same guy.

I am still horrified by DR VIXMOM's story from last night.

[Laura]

Good morning.

[Amy]

TOD:
My new favorite drama is "Bull". I think it's in its second season, but I only just discovered it this year. I now wish I'd grown up to be a "trial specialist," whatever the hell that is.
I'm also enjoying the return of "Will & Grace". Other than that, there hasn't been a new sit-com that I like in quite a while. I don't know what I'll do after "The Middle" and "Big Bang Theory" go off the air.

[Jrand74]

I still like THE AMAZING RACE.  Of the new shows, I guess I like THE ORVILLE the best....

I do like MAN WITH A PLAN because I like Matt LeBlanc and the woman who plays his wife....Liza Snyder.  I also like it because they usually just have one story all the way through instead of the A and B stories a lot of other sitcoms do....

[Jrand74]

Liza's grandfather was Johnny Green from MGM and her maternal grandmother was Betty Furness.....two names from the PAST for sure.

What us John G doing up at this ungodly hour?

Very long day at work.

[John G.]

The book I’m reading, Christmas Memories and Recipes, has a chapter by Betty Furness.

[John G.]

DR JohnG, I have the first season of DICKENSIAN, but I have not yet got to it.

As I understand it, there was only one season.

[John G.]

Jane, if it’s cake, I probably would have liked it.

[TCB]

A very Happy Birthday to DR

JANE!

[John G.]

TOD:

The Durrells in Corfu
Poldark
A Place to Call Home

I remember Betty Furness' work on the TV news.  I think she may have been only a local (New York area) staple on WNBC news, though. 

[Jrand74]

I think that is correct DR FJL.  She was a national spokeswoman for Westinghouse, I think, but she wasn't there the night this happened....it seems a stage hand had unplugged the fridge before the live commercial, and nobody knew what was going on.....

Betty Furness has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, says wikipedia - one for film and one for TV.

[FJL]

I'd meant to include the Wikipedia link
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Furness

but it allows for an extra post.

I worked with Johnny Green in 1988, and I dearly loved him.

And I am home from City Center.

My epidural appointment tomorrow has been moved from 10:30 to 8:00AM.  I'm happy it's earlier, but I'm still terrified of it.

Do you tend to be an early-morning person when it comes to getting out of the house, Larry?  If so, that must be a very useful trait to have!

I wish I had that trait.

That's great, Jrand!

Since I've lived in Manhattan I've need to be up early to accomplish things before I went to my book store job and evening rehearsals or performances.

Can't panic!  Gotta keep going!  She's a professional.

I'm up, I'm up - nine hours of sleep.  I was up just before nine, too, and just stayed in bed.

Lovely review by Jrand.

[George]

Well, this is depressing...and kind of funny.  I had ordered the new cast recording of Sunday in the Park with George, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, and this is the actual package that I received today:

[George]

It's a sealed bubble mailer envelope AND IT'S EMPTY!!

WTF??

[George]

Anyway, I returned it unopened for a replacement.
