Charisse was in IT'S ALWAYS FAIR WEATHER with Dan Dailey

A fifties TV series featured a recurring character named Stinky. Can you name the series and the actor who portrayed Stinky?
"The Abbott and Costello Show"? Joe Besser?

Bob and Emily Hartley ..I guess I assume everyone loves old sitcoms (and they really should. .)
Your thread, DownGoesFrazier!

If by sex less you mean unsexy, I do not know if they have been already mentioned, then I have to crown Dana Andrews. I had high hopes for him and he totally fizzles flat.
Runner-up would be mr. Leave her to heaven and Forever Amber, and none other than the handsome but very unsexy Cornel Wilde.
also Gary Cooper. What a huge huge huge disappointment this actor has being to me. Good looking but, unlike the other two above, way too feminine and way too weak and above all un-masculine for me. I reckon all that mascara they gooped on him did not help his cause.
I don't think I would have had the nerve to call Cooper a girly-man in person.

Now THAT'S even MORE of the most ridiculous thing I've ever hoid, DGF!!!
(...fess up here...it's probably that you just never liked Mopar's product and were always more a GM kind'a guy, RIGHT?!)
Ever since my father's '58 Desoto turned out to be a lemon, I've had it in for Groucho's show.

The moderator merged it into one of the other Trump threads and indicated so by posting a message in that thread. The moderator also did something similar a few days ago with a HRC thread.
I hope that this was a tax-free merger.

I think seeing any film with Barbara Stanwyck can be life changing due to her ability to so assume and take on the skin of the characters she is playing and give them humanity.
Not such a bad hobby that you acquired after watching "The Lady Eve" I must say, Eugenia!
How exactly did DOUBLE INDEMNITY change your life? Do you now slam the door on insurance salesmen?

Now THAT'S the most ridiculous thing I've EVER hoid!
(...or I guess read, in this case)
I saw a rerun of "You Bet Your Life" last week. It was really lame. Sorry, Darg.

Assimilation of Bob's Wife
I don't know what "Bob" you mean, but----THE AMERICANIZATION OF EMILY?

Dargo--
I love Brie and that's what all the French people eat.
30 grams=101 calories
8.4 grams of fat-- of which 5.2 are saturated fat
And if you love Brie, there's no way you can just have 30 grams!
Dargo-- don't forget you got to eat that with a little baguette too.
A Big Mac just doesn't compare.
Oat bran unsalted pretzels, anyone?

How about Henry Morgan and Harry Morgan?
..or Morgan Fairchild.
-
Well, I would've gone more for some analogy like "Jaye P. Morgan gonging you", but don't worry DGF, I still get the general idea here.
I always got confused between Jaye P. Morgan and Jane Morgan.

Gotta say I've always found Mr. Feinstein JUST a wee bit too "unctuous" for my tastes, BUT overall I think he's probably a good fit for this little gig.
(...and doubt his knowledge of classic film ends at just musicals)
If someone is virtuous, that means they have a lot of virtue. If someone is unctuous, does that mean that they have a lot of "unctue"?

Dang ! I can't come up with a pun on the name "Sothern" !
That's why she used the name.

A tip for any fellow fans of *"THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD: FRANCIS (Albert) SINATRA-(l9l5-l998)
I've written previously about the superbly run "Fan-Club" -(out of Lakeland, FL for some reason?)
"The International *SINATRA Society"-(sadly, it closed a few years back though)
Anyway, I was lucky enough to get some jazz-(as he woulda' phrased-it) via them
"Tee-Shirt" "Baseball Cap" & saved all the massive amount of mags,etc they sent
Among my most valued pieces of memorabilia of anykind, is a difficult to find *"Sinatra Bobblehead" For yrs you couldn't locate one & yet, they even have them for the likes of "The Pope" "Sadaam Hussein" "Hillary" & "Trump" & many others???
I somehow located it via the net & via "The California Angels"-(his fav. Baseball club)
It's now well-known that it's Nancy Sinatra-(l940-) that controls all of his merchandise,etc
But, this was a marvelous *FS T-Shirt-(through a weird off the wall company (www.t-mind.com) they constantly advertize on the home FB page & also have these shirts on *John Wayne, *Bogie, Marilyn, Elvis, DiMaggio & lots of others. a few others w/*Frank on them as well, but I chose 1 w/image of him, smoking a cig, fedora-(with white band as opposed to the all black hat/fedora I got at the St. Pete Pier a few yrs ago, even has his signature inside. The white band woulda' been a nightmare to keep clean.
& it says "Frank Sinatra (l9l5-l998) That's Life" & in green-(due to me being "Irish" & such) & the imqage is approx. around '58, his finest musical era dubbed "The Ava & Capitol Records" years & there's shirts of much older & younger *FS
& still have another t-shirt of him on it, in his "Tony Rome Era" But this one is superior
& I'm well aware she also has her detractors, but very much wanted to add "Madonna's' to the list, but strangely, a lot of them are also difficult to locate?
So, for anyone else that wants one, check out that website & I'll even post the toll free no. (1-877-548-7821) 9 to 5 & it ran me about $30.00, but I got a larger one myself & even for you non fans, your likely to find one or more on somebody else
(P.S. some of the other memorabilia/designer t-shirts I own to date; "W.C. Fields"-(very rare thesedays), "2 TCM's,' "2 Honeymooners, including "Hello Ball" & once a fellow "TCM-ITE" Holly got me an official "Hell's Kitchen," one 1 of the original 1934 "Three Stooges" & a "Shemp shirt," "HOLLYWOOD"-(got it when out there the 1st time in '99)
"Warner Bros." & I spent & got a lot in the souvenir shop towards the back of "The Roosevelt Hotel" but for some reason didn't get a t-shirt, though still have 1 in a "Ball Cap" of the legendary hotel!
Wish I could locate 1 of *"THE GREAT: SPENCER TRACY" though???-(probably of him in his 1st of 2nd consecutive; Best actor victories for 1937's "Captains Courageous" (M-G-M)
& on that note, also tried to collect all of "The Legends of Hollywood' postal stamps & there was one of *Tracy all-set too, but his grandson Joe TRACY ruined it & apparently they just chucke'd the lot!? U.S. Postal service had 2 on display>"Edward My, Son" (l949-MGM/British) & "Boys Town" (l938-M-G-M) But, Joe wanted another off the wall version & that was it!!! Personally, I would have voted for the stamp as "Father Flanagan"(l886-l948)
& PLEASE ALSO COMMENT/CHIME-IN IF YOU ARE ALSO-(besides being a fellow "Moviebuff" & "TCM-ITE" & also collect all things MOVIE RELATED???
I was also lucky in that about 15yrs ago I purchased the original "Ceramic TCM Coffee Mug" & something also now gone & it's cool "TCM Gangster Wrist Watch" By Bill Cole & even came w/a marvelous tin can
& this is very bizarre, & I've actually asked this on these boards a couple of times but not 1 soul replied about it I was given as a gift, "SCENE-IT?" The TCM version that was about a decade ago WHO EITHER KNOWS OF THIS VERSION, OR ACTUALLY HAS THE TRIVIAAME ITSELF?-(it's really neat, it comes w/little puter pieces of: "KANE" "KONG" "WIZARD OF OZ" "M. FALCON"
THANK YOU
Geez, you use more asterisks than Sans Fin uses colons.

No problem with moderators locking or removing threads. However, I do believe an email or personal message should be sent to the thread creator when one is removed entirely.
Not sure why some threads are locked with an explanation and others just "disappear." Maybe a moderator or administrator can explain?
I have also had individual posts disappear. I guess the moderators don't like attempts at humor that go "thud". Sort of like the on-line equivalent of the vaudeville "hook".

When one has no idea of the career of Ann Sothern, beyond one film noir movie, then it is revealing as to their movie knowledge in general, Down.
The Edster sounds like the human version of the Edsel, and we know that was a failure!
There WAS a human Edsel. The Edsel was named after Edsel Ford. The Ford family also affectionately referred to HIM as the Edster.

I can understand this predilection for eyes that seem to be focusing on the same subject, Dargo.
I had a nun once with eyes like Feldman and no one in class could ever tell if she was asking them a question.
I do like Marty more than Corey Feldman though.
..and I like Marty Falletti more than Marty Feldman He may be a fat ugly man, but at least he doesn't have bug eyes. They wouldn't have even let Marty Feldman into the Stardust Ballroom.

Let's not put Muller into the same category of expertise on a subject, as Feinstein.
Muller didn't even know who Ann Sothern was at one of his symposiums.
Well, she wasn't in many noirs, but she WAS in THE BLUE GARDENIA, apparently not a favorite of the Edster.

Down, the Columbia Record Club wants that Stetson hat back that you got with your membership for the Lloyd Price and Slim Whitman Collections!
Stagger Lee's more violent lyrics as done by Lloyd Price:
"The night was clear
And the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down
I was standing on the corner
When I heard my bulldog bark
He was barkin' at the two men who were gamblin'
In the dark
It was Stagger Lee and Billy
Two men who gambled late
Stagger Lee threw seven
Billy swore that he threw eight
Stagger Lee told Billy
I can't let you go with that
You have won all my money and my brand new
Stetson hat
Stagger Lee went home
And he got his forty-four
Said, I'm goin' to the barroom just to pay that
Debt I owe
Stagger Lee went to the barroom
And he stood across the barroom door
He said, nobody move and he pulled his
Forty-four
Stagger Lee, cried Billy
Oh, please don't take my life
I've got three little children and a very
Sickly wife
Stagger Lee shot Billy
Oh, he shot that poor boy so bad
'Till the bullet came through Billy and it broke the bartender's glass"
Michael Feinstein did a version of this song when I saw him at CBGBs.

Down, we have in our family 45 record collection, the original version of "Stagger Lee" with the more violent lyrics.
It's a little beat up and has ring wear but still plays well.
Does this count for anything or any free memberships to anything gratis, courtesy of you?
What it counts for is that I am red-faced with embarrassment. "Stagger Lee" is better-known than "Personality". If I was a member of the TCM Inner Circle, I'd deserve to have my membership revoked.

For doors that work that way, anyone walking through the hallway when someone suddenly opens the door of their apartment will have the door slammed right into their nose.. Ouch..
