Thanks, Princess.
The star of this popular sitcom was also a recording artist, and they took advantage of this and incorporated many of the recordings into the plots of the TV series. Name the star and the title of the sitcom.
David Cassidy? "The Partridge Family"?
-
Lucy and Desi might qualify, except that Desi didn't write the scripts.
...or are you shooting for Harriet and Ozzie Nelson?

I saw a C Western the other day. There wasn't enough money in the budget for horses, so they used hobby horses.
-
You made me laugh out loud.
Thank you.
How formal. A mere LOL is good enough for most.

Frankly, he's overdue a second SOTM.

Fra--
I'm going to have to quote one of my favorite old quiz Masters here: Finance--
Fi--would say: That's not who I was thinking of--
I like to think I'm more open-minded than Fi was, so I'll just tell you that if your answer fits the criteria and you can show me that your answer fits the criteria it's all yours--
The husband was a TV executive who wrote the sitcom, appeared in the sitcom and produced other sitcoms in classic TV--
That would rule out Roseanne and Company because she's not in classic TV--
If you want to tell me the other shows that Tony Owen produced and appeared in, then he would be your answer.
However, I'm not aware of Tony Owen being a performer or producing other TV shows.
Hint: the Star's husband appeared in the sitcom and wrote the sitcom. He also produced other classic TV sitcoms, well known to all of us.
Another additional hint - -the wife co-starred in the movies and on radio prior to entering television.
Lucy and Desi might qualify, except that Desi didn't write the scripts.
-
That sounds like an asinine idea.
Right. His rear end would be lost in the shuffle.

I wonder who complained aka brought it to the moderator's attention.
If there is ever a George Brent SUTS day thread, it will be merged with the "George Brent's Rear End" thread.

Rosanne Barr and Tom Arnold?
Donna Reed and Tony Owen?
-
LOL! No, her real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta. She reportedly took her stage monicker from the 1984 Queen song "Radio Ga Ga."
She should have called herself Lady Radio.
-
I don't think that Aaron Spelling was a TV series regular.
Also I don't think Carolyn Jones was ever the star of a sitcom--
Three examples would be Lucille Ball, Mary Tyler Moore or Marlo Thomas.
Hint: his wife was the star of the show and he was a regular on the show, as well as the main writer of the show. In addition to this show he produced other classic TV shows.
Rosanne Barr and Tom Arnold?

In the days of classic TV when TV was live the commercials were live too.
Cigarettes were the most popular sponsors for classic TV.
1 popular TV singer promoted a very popular brand of cigarettes-- she was what we would call a spokesperson for the cigarettes, but more importantly she sang the commercial.
So when you identify the singer and the brand of cigarettes, do you suppose you could give us at least the name of 1 classic TV show who utilized the sponsor too?
You don't have to sing the jingle unless you just want to!
Julie London? Marlboro?

I think I recall reading in Stephen King's book "Danse Macabre" that Serling was trying videotape as an "experiment" of some kind for artistic reasons. Feeling possibly it would give a realistic flavor to the episodes. Most people I know just think they look "cheap".
Back to Hitch---along with the stories many liked that the show put on, another facet was his little comic repasts that he'd end each show with. And his poking fun of his sponsors and the taking of commercial breaks along with his ability to seemingly have fun with poking fun of himself.
Sepiatone
I wonder whether the sponsors found this funny.

Really? I think it just sounds like a made-up word, which is what most acronyms with vowels are.
Of course, the issue is how do we pronounce it-- with a short 'u' or a long 'u'...LOL
Maybe the TCM suits like suts.

Did you think it had an "L" in it..?
It sounds to me like "suds".

I didn't know what Frazier meant so that's why I asked. I may be the only person on these message boards who has not seen Tiffany on TCM. Most of the films she hosts are ones I have already seen. So I don't set my DVR to record when she's on the air. And given the problems a lot of people seemed to be having with her, I thought it would be best if I gave her six months to settle in, then I would try watching one of her segments.
By six months, she might have settled out. You better not wait that long.

Somehow, with the sound of the name "Suts", they're starting with two strikes against them.
-
GAG ME. Wasnt the Streisand version bad enough??? I like Bradley. I guess he signed on so he could direct.
Gaga me with a spoon.
-
I wonder if Serling also wrote the intros and outros. I know
Hitch had his written for him. Rod is certainly more serious
and dour than Hitch, and Hitch didn't mess around with any
of the ultra serious Cold War stuff like Serling did.
..although being murdered is ultra-serious to the murderee.
-
The Alfred Hitchcock shows did have the advantage of being on
for twice as many seasons as TZ and also more episodes per
season for a period.
I remember that a few of the TZ episodes were filmed on a different
type of medium that made them look a bit cheap. The one where Inger
Stevens turns out to be a robot was one of them.
Hitchcock himself was certainly more entertaining than Serling.
-
Yes. He also played an inspector in Dial M for Murder.
He was definitely typecast as the very English, rather
officious type though with a sense of humor.
But in THE SOLID GOLD CADILLAC, he played a top exec of a very American corporation. Didn't seem to make sense.
