Yep. And maybe never better than in the episode, "Coast to Coast Big Mouth", where Laura inadvertently spills the beans on a game show that Alan wears a toupee.
Btw finance, the actor/comedian Dick Curtis who played the fast talking game show host and who a few years later would become a regular on The Jonathan Winters Show, now owns a little motel here in Sedona.
I had the pleasure to have a nice long chat with the now 80+ y/o gentleman, and it was a lot of fun listening to his show biz tales.

Then I guess you must've missed the line in this episode where she says....
"Ooooh Rooooob! The people of Twilo want you to start calling me 'Laura', and I agree with them!"
-
Okay, I gotta ask: Were you always careful to keep "Zsa Zsa" away from any and all traffic cops you might've encountered along these walks???
(...'cause ya KNOW what could've happened if ya DIDN'T, right?!)

>Fred MacMurray as Christopher Marlowe. You'll cry, you'll laugh, you'll sneeze, you'll puke, though not necessarily in that order.
HEY now, Bild! I'm pretty sure I've watched Fred in Walt Disney's 1959 little remembered production of The Absent-Minded Elizabethan Playwright ! AND, as I recall he ONLY made me laugh four times, cry twice, AND puke only once by the end of it!
(...nope, sorry, I don't recall ever sneezing!)
-
So, was that still the original and best Catwoman, Julie Newmar, or the rather lackluster Lee Meriwether in this episode.
-
Yeah, I think I remember that episode.
Wasn't that the one where she threw a party for the Caped Crusaders, and when nobody showed up, she allowed herself a good cry?
(...sorry)
-
What's kinda funny about that, is that the hairdo was one of the things that DOES kinda remind me of John Payne.
See what I mean here?

"WAS" named Bogie???
What?! Did ya loose him while walkin' the High Sierras one day or somethin'???
(...hey, don't blame ME for that one...I must be readin' way too much stuff that that crazy Canadian lady MissW has been postin' lately!!!)
-
HOLY Howie Horwitz! (now, say THAT 3 times fast in a row)
Do you know if the producer of TV's Batman was related at all to the famed comic trio???
-
clore, is it only my usual vivid imagination here, or does that picture of a relaxing Bogie make him look just a little like John Payne?
-
>Too close to "squirt" and since the star was 6'4" tall, he was hardly a squirt.
Now clore, I ask you: Where would Jerome Lester Horwitz be TODAY if it weren't for the oxymoronic noms de guerre???
(...okay, okay, so "Curly" Howard would STILL be dead, but that's not really my point!)
-
Okay MissW! Have you been readin' too much of my lame humor...okay, okay, okay, JUST for you.. humoUr..around here lately???
(...'cause dear lady, THAT reeked as bad as ANY o' MY material around here, ya know!)
-
Wow. And here the last time I checked into this thread, I thought I had left it in some measure of peace!
(...and now I think I'm startin' to understand why Hillary Clinton is steppin' down from her post as Secretary of State!!!)
ROFL

Always wanted to see that film but never have, clore.
-
I'm inclined(well actually I'm presently sitting upright) to say that that's Betsy Drake, but I know I'm probably wrong.
-
>If there's a joke in there somewhere, I'm sorry. I do not get it.
Well, THAT'S 'cause Addison forgot to mention that in his dream where Sidney Poitier crashes into the side of the guy's house while he's at his breakfast table, the guy was ALSO eatin' a bowl of...ahem...Post Raisin(in the Sun) Bran!
(...baada-CHING!)
-
That's alright, MissW. No hard feelin's here.
Saaaay...maybe THIS'LL raise your spirits a bit...
-
I'll try to catch that one too, TB.
(...I mean WHO doesn't like lookin' at Miss O'Hara, RIGHT?!)
-
Why, thank you, kind sir.
And, seein' as how "Don Juan" is still pretty fresh in my mind from the last showing on TCM(and when you and I raved about it afterward on these very boards), I have to say I'm actually looking more toward to watching Mr. Power do his "Zorro" thing, as it's been quite a few years since I've watched that one.
-
Granted TB. While the use of the word "implying" in my previous post might have been a bit presumptuous on my part, I still feel your initial posting in Tom's thread seemed a little "out of nowhere".
And, unlike whenever some of us would-be comedians around here often sidetrack threads with tangential little jokes, I have to say I still feel your initial posting seemed to me(and as apparently so too to the OP ) to have some "agenda" attached which we've felt ran counter to the more, let us say, celebratory nature of this thread about two well-made classic Swashbucklers.
-
Actually MissW, I've been a little busy over in Tom's "Zorro/Don Juan" thread the last 15 minutes or so, but I just now came back to this thead to say exactly what you've just said I should have said earlier.
(...in other words, you took the words right out of my mouth...err...keyboard anyway)

>Dargo, I am proud to be a feminist and have been for twenty years.
Well TB, I think I can probably top ya on the "Feminist Seniority List". Ya see, maybe it's because even in the 1950s and when I was but a lad, I was raised by a father and mother who both worked outside the home, and with my father pitching in on all the "household chores". And, there always seemed to be the idea that there was no "hierarchy" when it came to the decision-making between Mom and Pop, either.
And thus, growing up in that sort of environment and witnessing an equitable balance of parental responsibilty shared by my parents at that time, and pretty much always thinking that that sort of relationship is as fair and proper as it gets, I suppose you could call me a "Feminist" for almost all of my 60 years on this planet. And in fact, truth be known, I've probably also always thought of "The Fairer Sex" as also being "The Better Sex" overall.
But besides that, don't ya think it MIGHT have been just a LITTLE improper to imply to Tom that his thread was in any manner being "sexist"?
Sorry, but to me, that seemed to be something that came right out of the blue here, my friend.
And, after reading what appears to be your rationale for going this direction in this thread:
> I did have 'issue' with TCM airing coming of age stories last night that were all about boys, except for the last one, with Amanda Blake. I think the evening's presentation of this theme could have been much more balanced.
I have to wonder why you didn't instead think of possibly starting another and different thread with that very issue in mind, as I actually think you might have a valid point with that topic, and it would probably make for yet another of your always interesting thread topics at this website.

Yeah, Granny Goose was only a west coast(you know...where the sun shines bright and snow drifts are a rare occurrence) brand, out in my direction.

NOT according to the learned American lexicographer, one Mr.Noah Webster, anyway!
(...no relation to this kid
as far as I know, btw)

Yep, that's it, infinite1. You've got it, alright!
You see, those of us who are "mentally challenged" will occasionally be unable to resist the urge in threads that are primarily geared to be a "B*tch Session" about TCM's inadequacies, and will instead sometimes allow our deficient mental processes the bad form and most anti-social practice of diverting such a thread into a discussion of automobiles instead, and as you have so insightfully noticed.
(...yep, sorry...but then again, you know how us kinda folks can be!)
LOL
