Got Frid's autograph on one of my drawings...
WOW. Am sure that would go for big bucks on ebay. A good likeness of Frid!

I laugh every time I see Miss Hoffman strike one up in Barn's house. (I think it was only the one time tho) Like he would put up with that smell????
I loved how she'd pretend to be checking her make up in order to see if he reflected in her compact mirror.

I used to have a male and female pair of cockatiels but the female died about 3 years ago. I have had the male for around 15 years.
The female died when my friend came over for our weekend jam session. About an hour before he got there I could tell she wasn't doing well. The cage is in the jam room so I told my friend what was going on; The bird passed while we were playing While My Guitar Gently Weeps (no joke!). She was around 20 years old so it was her time.
Did the male act differently after she died?

I'm going to guess that's pretty much impossible at this point.
Lot of catching up to do!

About these frequent spots where the hosts slaver over each other telling us how great they are - it's becoming pathetic. A little of this goes a long way, but as usual they overdo it. SHOW us, don't TELL us.
They aren't great.

I noticed that too about The Hustler. They must have a good leasing deal with Fox with it. Hope it doesn't become another North By Northwest......

Yes. LOL. Musn't get ashes on the cake. That's Bing. They were in a film together. Think it was called Mississippi?
Not sure who Eddie is.

a HOME INVASION story, THE DESPERATE HOURS-style could have worked, but could only be stretched out so long. and if was seen as being too MANSONesque, it could could offend. but there is potential.
(images of the MURDEROUS HIPPIES from THE MACDONALD CHILD scared me as a kid in the early 80s when i saw FATAL VISION)
Yeah, it couldn't drag on too long or it would've got boring......

How about seeing the Collins family and supernatural fiends tangle with hippies? (And no, Buzz doesn't count, he was so lame!).
A really hot topic would have been how to deal with the civil rights at the time....but then we hardly ever saw any African-Americans on DARK SHADOWS, save Tom Jennings' nurse and King Johnny's servant Istvan.
Maybe Istvan could have returned as a ghost to haunt Barnabas for sending him off Widows' Hill.
Yeah, Buzz was a joke! LOL. Hardly a menacing biker.

There was a lot of stuff they could have done, War of 1812, some Civil War related story, they could have tackled Prohibition with some gangster liquor smuggling Collins's. They could have even brought in Native American ghosts. Lol
Collinwood basement could've been a speakeasy!

OKAY LEGIT NOW, I HAVE IT:
ALTERNATE 1871 where COLLINWOOD is an ALL GIRL'S SCHOOL run by JOAN BENNETT and GRAYSON HALL....

Sadistic matrons. Naughty girls with impure thoughts, etc........Grayson could've channeled Miss Whosits from Iguana.......:D

Has anyone ever thought about storylines if the show had continued? What plots would they have mined?
Sam Hall said they spent hours (meaning minions) going through everything in the public domain from which to borrow/steal.
I'm thinking something in the realm of extraterrestrial UFOs would have been in the picture! So few years from E.T.
Yeah, Aliens! LOL. I could see that. Landing in Collinwood! Body Snatcher types. They could've milked that!

I'll also toss out that I worked for LISA RINNA'S business manager in the 2000's and she was, when I would deal with her on the phone daily, an UNBELIEVABLY- yet GENUINELY- PLEASANT PERSON 100% of the time (I was STUNNED.)
(LISA RINNA, not the BUSINESS MANAGER. )
What's with those LIPS?
She hasnt been on since I started watching last week.

I have to admire how, as society frays and temperatures rise, DOOL chugs on...
They renewed it for another 2 seasons! It's more lively than Young and Restless which airs against it. Really boring. I don't really know the backstory of DOOL. I watched if when I was working from home last year and once before that. Never regularly.

Xander would have made a great sexy villain on Dark Shadows, though he wouldn't have had as many opportunities to wear towels.
True! LOL. They know how to use him in DOOL!

Sorry, but I find it hard to watch Rooney in most adult roles due to his short physical stature.
I try to ignore it but it's like trying not to think of a pink elephant. How did you get that scar
on your head? I walked into a doorknob. Personally wise this guy could have used a good shot
of Andy Hardy goofy enthusiasm. What a stiff. Not good looking, the personality of a cactus.
What woman wouldn't go for him? You do feel a little sorry for the poor slob, even if he is
clueless. I figured the bank robbers would have let old Mick drive that road to get a feel for
it instead of taking movies. Dumb. In general not too bad a movie, but nothing special. Might
have had a good gay subtext with two handsome dudes living in a beach house and having
Mickey come over and watch movies of guys diving. Hmmmm. I noticed that Jack Kelly looks
a bit like Dirk Bogarde from some angles. One of my grandfathers had a Hillman Minx. I
don't remember it that much except for the unusual name. He came to his senses and bought
a Ford Falcon.
How tall was Rooney? He seemed barely 5 foot tall in this movie. Foster towered over him. Eddie said he was 34 in this film, but he looked 44! The film was ok. Seemed like a lot of prep work for a bank robbery though.

And so clean. The floors, the bays and everybody's shop coat. I think Mickey was the only one I ever saw any grease or dirt on. I thought interesting to see Kelly driving an older Packard at the end when he was driving Mickey to his doom.
I've never seen a garage like that! Is that what garages in Beverly Hills look like?
And so spacious! It seemed like a block long.

African killer bees are on their busy little way to Texas.
This Irwin Allen schlockfest cannot be ignored, try as one might. Pipe the cast: Richard Widmark, Henry Fonda, Olivia de Havilland, Jose Ferrer, Fred MacMurray, Michael Caine, Ben Johnson, Richard Chamberlain, Brad Dillman, Katherine Ross, Patty Duke Astin, Slim Pickens, Lee Grant.
Listen to Widmark ring the changes on "What the HELL is going on?" See Jose Ferrer covered in bees! Watch Fred MacMurray (as Clarence the pharmacist, complete with bow tie) and Ben Johnson vie for the affections of schoolteacher Olivia de Havilland! Rejoice as scientist Henry Fonda (also with bow tie) makes the ultimate sacrifice for humanity! Have your eardrums reverberate with the sound of Michael Caine shouting his way towards a paycheck! Behold lovely Katherine Ross, who as always lets her hair do the acting! Thrill when pregnant Patty Duke Astin experiences labor cramps! Shudder as engineer Slim Pickens threatens to cut off the town's water supply! ("You all are a-gonna not be able to flush your toilets!") Enjoy intrepid news reporter Lee Grant as she endeavors to expose The Truth!
LOL. This bomb seems to be in constant rotation now esp. on wknds. Ugh.

The only familiar face to me in AMERICA, AMERICA is Joanna Frank, unforgettable as Regina the Bee Girl in the classic 1960's sci-fi program The Outer Limits. (that episode is entitled "ZZZZZZ")
I remember that episode!

I kid GRAYSON because I love GRAYSON...
and it's been fun to follow her "hair journey" after the unfortunate "kindergarten scissors" SEVERE CROP she adopted right in the middle of her tenure on the show. I think she realized it was a mistake when some kids mistook her for MICK JAGGER and chased her for four blocks one rainy day when she couldn't catch a cab...it's grown out now to where they can comfortably tuck in a fall, as I presume she did when she assumed the identity of her 1970 PARALLEL TIME COUNTERPART "HOFFMAN" the MRS DANVERSESQUE HOUSEKEEPER
It was strange why she did that. They even had some character(s) comment on her new hairdo in her first scenes with the cut. I assume the producers must've ok'd her doing that.

It seems they're always promoting something now. Hosts; wines; etc. Also getting tired of the preachy bits about racism in Hollywood's past....
