Ann Southern played in "Private Secretary" and didn't Eve Arden play "Our Miss Brooks"? (If memory serves)  Remember when the Tonite Show was hosted by Jack Parr?

Sorry, guys, but I'm strictly a Jack Benny gal. Wink He was the king of the radio sitcom for decades!  And most of his commecials were cleverly worked right into the show: there's one opening commercial as the band's playing, one commercial during the actual show itself, usually worked into a skit or some dialogue, and then one commercial as the show is ending, again with the band playing.  And the ones while he was on with Jello come with Jello recipes! Smiley

But I have listened to Our Miss Brooks, and I'm fond of Fibber McGee and Molly. I got my collections from OTRCat.com. Very cheap, and the most extensive collections I'd found.

It's weird to see him on an insurance commercial on TV. *shudder*

Karl Maldon died yesterday. He was married to the same woman for over 70 years. How's that for a Hollywood record?

Remember how everyone sat around and watched the radio?     Huh?

Did any of you grow up with the kids' radio show Big John and Little Sparky?

Billy Mays was the man! He seemed like a decent individual with a sense of humor. It's too bad when he died too; his career really seemed to be taking off with both his infomercials and his Pitchmen show on the Discovery Channel. It's amazing how true the saying, "One doesn't know what they have until it's gone." He will be missed.

"Take courage. Do manfully" (cf. Joshua 1:18).

Men of God rise up! Why is it we can fill sports stadiums but not adoration chapels? Why is it we can read pornography, but our Bibles and breviaries sit gathering dust? Why are our stomachs filled with good beer and rich fare, but millions starve? Why will we wear our feet to bone in pursuit of entertainment, but we won’t lift a finger to fight abortion? Please, my brothers, let us pray! Time grows short and there is much work to do. To your breviaries. To your Rosaries. Stand-up for Jesus.
