Can tell alot about someone by what they watch lol....
Rowan and Martin's Laugh-in!!!
And, 'fess-up time, I had a thing for Judy Carne ... mind you, at that age, I probably would have had a thing for any girl sans bra in a wet t-shirt!
I remember years later someone saying that because she refused to wear a bra, the production company insisted she was 'taped down' to prevent any, er, unnecessary, er ... movement!
"v-e-e-e-r-y interesting!"
OMG! Haven't thought about that in YEARS!!! I love the lecherous old man (Arte Johnson?), and Ruth Buzzi whacking him over the head with her umbrella!
Here come de Judge
Sock it to me!
Ah, good times indeed.
Hi Alex —
If you know Green Wing, I have chosen Dr Statham as my role model. My wife threatens to leave me, but my kids think I've not too far to go ...
Yeah, it was Arte Johnson as the lecherous old man and the pseudo-German who would pop out and say "Veeeery interesting, but [insert a word or phrase]."
Do you remember Henry Gibson and his poetry? What about Jo Anne Worley or Goldie Hawn? How about Lily Tomlin? And who could forget Gary Owens? I wish I could remember who the heck the guy with the handbells skit was... *goes off to ponder with thes*
Phyllis Sidhe_Uaine
Ahhhhhh!
Thanks for the memories!
There's a pretty extensive wiki that might help about the handbells...
Well....it *was* filmed in granoLA land.[what a breakfast cereal {fruit, nut and flake}].)
(Kato whipped Robin's a$$!, heh heh)
