A Very Happy Birthday to Karen Morrow!!

And thanks for the link, John!

[George]

PAGE FIVE KAREN MORROW DANCE!!

Birthday wishes have been added and I wrote ChasSmith an email.

[bk]

Hope he's having a loverly birthday.

I don't think that photo is Karen Morrow. Looks like Ruta Lee to me.

A half hour favorite is Nobody Wants This.

My half hour favorite is The Chair Company, which is quite cynical, but had some amazing twists in its last two episodes.   Also, there was added fun to watch because our next door neighbor has a nice role which featured him really well with a few showy bits of business in one of the episodes, and fun too getting to spot him as one of the people in the office in the other weeks.

I almost forgot the wonderful Slow Horses.  I am looking forward to season 6 next year.

We're halfway through Down Cemetery Road.  Very compelling, but I'm having trouble processing some of the information as it goes by.


(Slow Horses and Down Cemetery Road have the same creator.)

Thank you.

SPOO!  It is Ruta Lee!  The link I got it from labeled the picture as being Karen Morrow.

[George]

Here's a picture that's definitely Karen Morrow:

DR Chas, our HHW calendar says it is your birthday yet you have not mentioned this fact.

Oh, my goodness!  A Very Happy Birthday to DR ChasSmith!!

Thank you, DR George!

This feels too timely to not repeat this parody, with TITANIQUE announcing for the St. James Theatre

The idea of a Celine Dion parody show like TITANIQUE, that started small and (one assumes) is ready to charge Broadway premium prices of whatever the market will bear, is a joy to contemplate for those of us who traffic in parody!

Very funny, Freddie!

[ChasSmith]

Hope he's having a loverly birthday.

Thank you, sir, and no problem at all!

From DR George,

I came across video of someone pulling a rifle out of one of the attacker's hands. Fortunately, the rifle-puller did not get hurt!

I'm guess by now you know that he was shot twice and had surgery.

Sadly, yes.  The video that I saw was fairly short and didn't show him getting shot.

[George]

George, thanks for the congrats to Keith.

You're welcome, Jane!

[George]

THREE!

Very cute!

[George]

Anthony Geary from General Hospital has died.

Oh, no.

I'm seeing if I can link this.

Jrand, not sure if I got this exactly right - I quoted (and attributed  to you by name) your thought that DEATH OF A SALESMAN might want to add that famous line by Jackie (Laurie Metcalf) for Linda Loman.  This link might work.  It's the 8th of 8 comments.

In case that link doesn't work, this is what I'd posted in the Times comments under the article "‘Little Bear Ridge Road’ to Close Early on Broadway"

I'd never have guessed before this that in the Broadway climate of 2025, while Lea Michele's TV fame was a license to print money, Laurie Metcalf's TV fame with those Broadway reviews was not box office.

Regarding your saying "Maybe if she studied for a year or two in Britain, she might be a great actress."
 
Watch her in this classic moment from "Roseanne" giving a master class in comedy laced with pain, at 0:50 here.
Roseanne, Jackie - DAD'S DEAD! - "He's fine, he sends his love!"

(A very funny person named Jack Earles on the net quipped that while they're adjusting "Death of a Salesman," in order to make it more 2026 box office, they should sneak in adding "Dad's fine, he sends his love!" for Linda Loman!)

Interesting link between Rob Reiner and Anthony Geary.

The day is almost over.

[Rodzinski]

And Geary, like BK, did some Partridge Family work.

[Jane]

Such terrible news from all over this weekend.

And after seeing the news about Rob Reiner all I could think of is Rob Reiner is dead and the big fat orange menace is still living.....where is the justice in that?

Exactly.

And then his statement about Rob Reiner made it worse 

[Rodzinski]

Happy Birthday to the Chas-iest of the Chas-es.
ChasSmith, I wish you joy this day and all others!

[Jane]

I checked the birthdays, but the day must have not changed yet. Fixing that now.

Does this mean you are looking at a daily calendar while we use the montly one at the top of this page?

Your neighbor being in the show is a good reason to watch it.  We never made it as far as the twists.

Let me know what you think about the ending.  I keep forgetting to let my brother know if he should watch it or not.  While we liked it I wouldn't call it a favorite for the year.

I don't believe there is a photo of him getting shot, at least not so far.
