Danny Thomas Put Nuts In My Hat!
One day, I met Dick Van Dyke and said to him, "Forgive me for being the 800th person to say this but I became a comedy writer..." and
Mr. Van Dyke finished the sentence, "...because you thought you'd sleep with women who looked like Mary Tyler Moore, and it's more like 80,000...but
thanks." But at least, he said it with a chuckle. Here's a look at...
And here's a section devoted to the little-known, spurious...
It Was A Wonderful Life
...especially if you were Jimmy Stewart, the actor everybody loved. They loved him in Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, Destry
Rides Again, The Philadelphia Story, It's a Wonderful Life, Harvey, Rear Window, Vertigo and many, many more. Here's an article about how
he never became jaded by all that love...
It's Still a Mad4 World
It really is, you know. Yes, they know Stanley Kramer's 1963 movie is loud and full of mindless slapstick but it's also full of

Forever Soupy
Every website ought to have an article about Soupy Sales. You can search the whole damn Microsoft Network and not find an article
about Soupy Sales. That's because those are all low-class websites with no taste. Here, because we have taste at this site, is an article
about...
This Is How It All Ends...
Someone once wrote that the ending was the most important part of any movie. Okay, maybe it is. For some folks, it's
certainly important to avoid hearing in advance...
And Now, This Word From Bosco...
Above is a pic of "Skipper" Frank, who hosted cartoons on KTLA, Channel 5 in Los Angeles from the mid-fifties into the
early-sixties. He was but one of the heavyweights in that arena, along with Sheriff John, Engineer Bill, Tom Hatten, Chucko the Clown and, of
course, the local Bozo. If you grew up anywhere near Los Angeles in those years, you'll want to read all about...
