No, it's not Kenny. I just welcomed my good pal Billy McKinney into actor heaven a little over two years ago. We worked quite a bit together, especially as part of Clint's stock company.

I absolutely agree with you about the editing. Before complete series were available, the only place to see these shows were in reruns on local stations or Nick at Nite when it came into existence. Occasionally you would find a station that would include most of the original show including the final segment prior to the credits (example: the Andy Griffith epilogues). This was very rare, however. As you probably have noticed, most half hour sitcoms had at least 24 minutes of airtime minus commercials. For most of my childhood, stations aired about 21-22 minutes of show. I am not sure, but it seems like less than that now. That is a lot of entertainment lost, and since you watch the complete versions on DVD, you have noticed the obvious differences. When I am focused, and into the show, the DVD is the way to go as you so adeptly pointed out. However, as you alluded to, for background noise, or as others might equate to "comfort food", I don't mind switching over to MeTV or Antenna when nothing else is on.

I am going to take a stab, albeit one in the dark, and since it is the end of the year.
These four were ranked the #1 female box office attraction at one time.

I like it, kid. Tough is okay. It's up to us to guess right. Thanks for what you do. I admire the detailed work.

Remember the previews in the theater... much anticipation... much ado about nothing... tragic waste of potential hit.

My physical gifts allowed me to do a lot of stunt work, too. I have been killed many times including by Robert Mitchum and of course Duke, I've been beaten up by David Carradine, and even embarrassed by Richard Pryor.

You obviously have a preference for sitcoms, speed. Your list is a good one, and I remember watching most of them along with so many others when I was a kid. Judging by your comments, you are likely much younger than me. So it is really nice to see that there are fans in your generation that appreciate the shows that have in many respects been lost in time. It's unfortunate that many of the shows of the past are dismissed for a variety of reasons, even disavowed by some, who enjoyed them like I did when they were on originally, but are now too sophisticated to admit that they loved them then. I still consider the ones from your list and many others as "go to" entertainment when there is nothing else on. I own some of them on DVD, too.
It is a shame that Nick at Nite is not like it used to be. I don't know if your cable outlet has MeTV or Antenna, which show nothing but old reruns. I am not sure what the deal is, but these "networks" are syndicated, and are picked up with local stations. I have noticed that these have lots of old favorites, but also some others I had never seen in syndication before. Check your cable channels and see if you have it in your market.
Best wishes for your continued TV enjoyment, and future discoveries.

Is Frank Capra the common denominator? Were they all produced by his production company Liberty Films?

Although I had the thrill of playing for my hometown team, the Calgary Stampeders as a pro, I played collegiately at UCLA, which provided me some comfort as I moved into my post-football career.

Got it, emgee! Tough to picture a class act like Olivia with the daffy Joe E. Brown, but hey, everybody has to start somewhere. Good one. For a minute, I was thinking I was gonna have to apply for a dental license on that one. Anyway, time for you to bat out a few. The thread is yours.
