Last night, I watched THIS IS THE ARMY, the new "official" DVD of this public domain from Warner Brothers.

Frankly, I don't think that the quality of the transfer is any better than some of the good public domain editions that are out there, but one thing that this new version has is a "newly discovered" outtake of Irving Berlin singing the cut number, "My British Buddy".

It's not a great number, but it was fun seeing Berlin do it.

To answer today's question, 2 shows come immediately to mind.

1. An episode of ROUTE 66 that guested Walter Matthau and Edward Andrews.  Matthau is a pool hall operator and Andrews is a banker.  They go to Reno to try to win money to save their failing small town.  Andrews, as a first-time gambler, was hysterical.

2. An episode of RAWHIDE in which Shelley Berman plays a Jewish (what else?) peddler, who negotiates a deal with the Indians in order to save the cattle herd.

I know this doesn't follow the guidelines. And I had to look up the actresses name but.....

Beah Richards in "The First Day of the Last Decade of the Entire Twentieth Century" episode of Designing Women.  It takes place in a hospital. She plays a dying 102-year-old black woman who tells them of her life experience as a woman of color in the South. She gives a beautiful performance. Using her face and voice to tell her story. She should have been nominated for an Emmy Award but wasn't.

Heading down now to check the mail and then start on fixing lunch. I'll enjoy sitting on the porch while it cooks since it's still gorgeous outside.

WBBL.

Am awaiting the arrival of she of the Evil Eye, after which I shall do the long jog.

[Michael]

In case you can't put the name (Beah Richards) to the face



She was nominated to an Academy Award for Guess Who's Coming To Dinner and won two Emmy Awards for guest appearances on Frank's Place and The Practice.

TOD:   I loved Dolly Parton's guest shot on "Designing Women" when she played God.

I also thought Lew Ayres and Nanette Fabray were perfect as Mary Richards' parents.

Likewise for Eva Marie Saint and Robert Webber as Maddie Hayes' parents on "Moonlighting."


Eileen Heckhart did a great a guest shot as a hard-boiled author on the short-lived Ellen Burstyn show.  Imagine one show that had Elaine Stritch, Eileen Heckhart and Ellen Burstyn in it.

Tops is still of course Suzanne Pleshette's suprise guest shot on the final episode of "Newhart."

[Kerry]

TOD:

There was also a great episode of "Route 66" with Ethel Waters.

"Follow the Sun" with Tuesday Weld

The "Tiger, Tiger" episode of "Dr. Kildaire" with Yvettee Mimieux

[vixmom]

How nice to see your picture on the hospital wall TCB!! I am glasd to hear that you willbe putting your actors' hat back on... you must get them to tape a performance and send it to me!!

[Jane]

DR elmore, I hope the bank doesn’t put a hold on your check since it is from out of state.

[elmore3003]

I went crazy and now I have 19 cartons ready to go! There are also another 20 or so waiting to be finished from the past couple of months so I believe I will tackle those next. My memory of Fed Ex Ground serviceis that I can only print up to 20 labels per shipment. So I may begin taping them up and print labels today as well.

DR Ben, check your email about tomorrow!

[elmore3003]

DR elmore, I hope the bank doesn’t put a hold on your check since it is from out of state.

They will, of course, and I expect at least a week hold since the bank will want to get their own interest out of such a large (for me) amount, but  that's no problem at the moment.

TOD: Brad Pitt on FRIENDS.

DRvixmom, how did you like THE MOST HAPPY FELLA?

[Jane]

DR Druxy I have  found our cats become more demanding of affection when they lost their companions.  Grouchy cats were suddenly much friendlier.  When you say demanding, do you mean she wants you to pet, play & cuddle with her more?  Most of the cats just cried or rammed their heads into us for affection.  Gently pawing at us was also a method of getting attention.  What exactly do you mean by demanding? 

Does your cat have any soft cuddly catnip toys?  That might help her.

[Jane]

Well, I'm going to head out and look at some doggies.  Maybe I'll be posting a photo of a new member of the family by tonight.

No promises. 

Don't you think it might be a little soon?  You still have some grieving to do; I would think.

I know, it would be way too soon for me.


DR Danise, did you take Sheena with you to pick out a compatible dog?  Sheena needs to be top dog, & she may not even want to share you with anyone else, at least on a permanent basis.

She should have been nominated for almost everything she did.

I'm not really surprised.  I expect she will be a big help through this.  Will she come post if you don't feel up to it & let us know how you are?

Is the check certified?  If it is then you should be able to go to a desk officer and request next day availability  -  I do not think they are allowed to refuse that service on a certified check but you must request it

too bad they weren't able to wire the money into your account - perhaps they can arrange that for you when the big plot of land is sold

[Jane]

Tops is still of course Suzanne Pleshette's suprise guest shot on the final episode of "Newhart."

That was great!  As soon as I saw the sheets I had an idea what was going on.  It took Keith until her head popped up to begin laughing with me.

[vixmom]

I really enjoyed  The Most Happy Fella -- thank you again!!

I need to give it a more thorough listen when there is no one else it the house and I can listen uninterrupted and read along with the libretto
I suspect such a time will present itself in the near future!

[vixmom]

Hello all!  The Vixter asked me to thank you all for the vibes  as well....

I am sure she will - I told her she can email  you people to vent if she needs to talk  without being afraid I will see it

[vixmom]

well I have a lot to get done in the house in the next couple of weeks so I better get to work!

[MBarnum]

DR Danise, have fun at the pet adoption!

 Personally, I hope you find a critter there that makes you heart go pitty pat! You have a lot of love to give, and what better gift to give to your beloved ones who have passed on then to give a home to a homeless doggie.

[MBarnum]

I am sending huge amounts of vibes to all!

[Jane]

That is really sweet.  I'm just about always here.

A catnip toy is an excellent idea.  We'll try that.  Thanks.

By "demanding," I mean that when she wants your attention, you'd better give it to her, or she'll hit, not "gently paw," you.  She's done that to me a couple of times...after I've fed her...and I'm trying to get another 40 winks of sleep.

Last night, my dog (Missy) who has been with her for 11-12 years, was lying down, minding her own business when Annie came over, tried to get her attention and, when Missy ignored her, she both nipped her and hit her.

And, yes Annie does ram herself against a closed door if she wants to come in.

Back from the long jog - shoes finally starting to adjust to feet or vice versa.  Must now go do errands and whatnot.

[JoseSPiano]

Good Morning!  Good Afternoon!

I'm up, I'm up... And I've already made and had breakfast; grounds the beans and made coffee; ran to the store; went to the bank, etc., etc., etc.

Not bad for a "lazy" Saturday morning. 

[JoseSPiano]

Oh...

It's too warm - 65 degrees - for November 15.  Well... I think it is.
