So we may miss some routines....but certainly not Johnny W's clown suit.

[John G.]

Three!

Also, not talked about was the David Cromer production with Helen Hunt.

I'm guessing the YouTube algorithm didn't bring up my attempt at a spoof of the use of the smell of bacon in the David Cromer production of OUR TOWN.  I love Shauna Hicks' vocal on this one.

More pork and pig references than you can shake a thesaurus at.

Decided I don't want to cook anything here - so Jersey Mike's Philly ordered.

I had the Jersey Mike's Philly for lunch, too.

Cranberry pecan pie

Wow!  That looks delicious!

Fred Flintstone.

I'm glad the days are gone when the name Fred conjured up images of Fred Mertz and Fred Flintstone. 

These days, the most prominent theatrical "Freddie" is the Freddie Trumper played by Aaron Tveit in CHESS.

[Freddie]

And as always, Fred Mertz always needed to be reminded "Ethel is NOT fat."

I love Our Town. Don't know if I have ever seen it live. I loved the TV version BK references. But I don't like Robbie Benson.

I love all three major Thornton Wilder plays. Our Town never fails to break my heart and leave me in tears, but The Skin of Our Teeth is in my pantheon of great plays. I've never seen a production that satisfies my vision of it. In March 2020 - I checked my email to verify this! - the TV broadcast with Helen Hayes as Mrs Antrobus and Mary Martin as Sabina was available online, and I liked it very much; it has since been withdrawn for copyright reasons. YouTube has Acts One and Three of a 1959 BBC telecast with Vivien Leigh as Sabina I wish it was complete.

From DR John's comments regarding Lay's Potato Chips...

DR Rodzinski, Mighty Mouse was one of the few cartoons I liked as a child.

[Jane]

From Rodzinski.

I had a mortifying moment at a trade show last year. A woman at a booth was wearing an orange sweater with block splotches, identical to Fred Flintstone. At these shows, people wear loud clothes, try to capture attention. It wasn’t outside the realm of possibility…  Their branding was orange. Before I could take a mental moment and think, “consider that maybe she’s not intentionally trying to look like Fred Flintstone,” I blurt out, “Fred Flintstone, awesome!”

To which she responds, “Who?”

I've never seen any version of Our Town.  I've never read it, either.  I probably should at some point.

I think my favorite is the one with Hal Holbrook.

My DH said carrots were $1.50 for a five-pound bag. So guess what I'm taking to the Thanksgiving dinner today.

Cooked or raw?  If cooked what are you doing with them?

[Jane]

Dragging my ASS this morning. Feeling okay from the cold, but still blowing my nose more than I'd like. And I'm playing AUDITIONS this evening. And tomorrow evening.

I'm sorry you can't stay home and rest.

[Jane]

Woody Woodpecker is a semi regular cartoon on ME Tv's 7 a.m.-8 a.m. Cartoon Block.

But yes Mighty Mouse seems to have disappeared.

Woody was one of the cartoons I preferred to skip.

My Jersey Mike's Philly was not so hat - some weird couple of bites - gristle or something.

[Freddie]

OUR TOWN is a 1938 play, which means it goes into public domain in 2033 or 2034, whichever year ends the 95-year copyright.

I wonder if the estates for GROVER'S CORNERS, the Jones and Schmidt musical of OUR TOWN, plan to try to get the musical out there then.

I can understand that.  I am glad I don't constantly get asked "Where is Tarzan".

"Not so hot" meaning literally not warm enough, or just not so good? or maybe both?

I doubt anyone's thinking that far ahead.

It was good until whatever weird gristle thing. Then it was not good.

[bk]

Think I'll watch a movie shortly.

[Freddie]

At least Fred MacMurray was pretty famous from "My Three Sons" and Disney movies when I was young, so I could deflect to him if anyone brought up Flintstone or Mertz.

At least Jane was more attractive than your Fred's

[Jane]

An expression not used anymore, "Plain Jane and no nonsense".  People often said that to me.  I preferred being asked about Tarzan

He was a good Fred.

Sounds yucky.
