good-you can take the next one, George

That's Kirk 'translating' Harry Mudd's lame story. I'm almost positive it's from Mudd's Women-an early episode that injected some 'humor' or else it's from the insufferable "I, Mudd"-of which the less said the better I think it's 'Mudd's Women" no-I changed my mind-"I, Mudd"

I don't recall seeing it and certainly don't know the year. I'll guess 1954 though. Would it be sacreligious of me to admit that I didn't like that show ? Those characters always have grated on my nerves. I did like the old guy as 'Bub' on 'My Three Sons'. And the star when she was a young kinda glamor girl. And her hubby when he's getting down on that drum. And the other woman-well never. As a group and a show though, it never 'got' me.

Andy Pettite going back to the Bronx ! For me, the sight of Pettite on the mound, staring through his glove , in a playoff game, is worth more than the Big Unit, Mussina, and name your hot shot free agent, combined.

great quote -same show it's still George's turn

Please Jane-not in front of the men you're all correct-it's F Troop and I guess it's up to me to declare the 'winner' since Tom passed it on-I'd say George is up next

Sounds like Tom knows it- and the show was only on for 2 seasons, less than Green Acres

"It just wouldn't be the same without the Old Man." "What old man "? Why, you sir, you're the Old Man". "Oh that's right. I keep forgetting."

you made that TOO easy with the Zsa Zsa reference Green Acres

it looks like the Bosox are opening up the vault for J D Drew. I'm going to try to look at the bright side for Mstar, and acknowledge that JD does have a world of talent.It could be that he will find himself in Fenway, and live up to expectations. I won't rehash all I've said here. It's easy enough to look up. It's true that just about noone, fan or writer, shed any tears when JD filed. It's also true that I hardly knew he existed after attending over 25 games, and following the rest closely. It came as a shock when I saw he had 100 rbi's. Dodger Stadium is starving for someone who can drive in 100 rbi's. That he did and left without anyone caring says alot. But-MAYBE it will be different in Boston.

It was at a twig coordinator's meeting in '78 in CT, where I was taught the '4 steps down from the Mystery'. Number 1, above all else, was 'turning your back on the Man of God'. Followed by a good hour of learning that the man of God is to be obeyed in every situation, since God put Him there. If you don't believe Him you don't believe the word, and have no business being a twig leader. It was all about control from the top down. They hit on a masterful way of making sure every one stayed in line. If your immediate 'supervisor' is speaking for God, then they could control Joe Believer in Oshkosh by the spiritual chain of command. That's your Way Tree in action. I'm sure I threw my weight around as a twig leader, though i tried not to be a jerk about it.

I just looked up Clint, and was surprised to find he was more like 6 when he played Balok-I thought he was much younger

Clint Howard from Gentle Ben is indeed Ron's brother-though I still don't know if that's the theme in question here. My favorite Clint Howard role is from Star trek when he was maybe 3 years old, playing Balok, an incredibly powerful, but peaceful ,alien. Clint manages to get small roles in most every Ron Howard film-it's almost as much fun looking for Clint, as it is to catch the Alfred Hitchcock cameos, in Hitchcock films.

sounds like "Gentle Ben"-a show I avoided at all costs

all of those Klingon episodes from NG and beyond mix together like a plate of gagh for me. I can't tell one Kahless from another.

and sudo, I'm still waiting to see if I was right about 'Bonnie Scotland"

I liked the Aex Ross 'Green Lantern' better I mean Alex

George, you didn't even quote the worst line from the Patty Duke show- "But Patty likes to rock and roll, a hot dog makes her lose control, what a wild duet" And I don't know Rick's theme-much to my bewilderment.

I know this one, but I'm going to let someone else guess.

Case in point, waysider."Fractured Fairy tales" was made for the "Rocky and Bullwinkle" show, not King Leonard and His Short Subjects. Tooter Turtle WAS a part of the Leonardo show, along with the Hunter, for 'Total Television', not Jay Ward productions. Total also did Tennessee Tuxedo. I'm not sure how these mixed syndication packages came to be, but they cause much confusion. At least to those who care-which might mean me. As I said, I'm off for the day, and don't have a new quote handy. You are most welcome to take the next one, waysider. my LAST word on this I PROMISE. I don't recall if Tooter was originally part of the Leonardo , or Tennessee Tuxedo show-but it would be appropriate for him to appear on either, since they were both Total' shows. It's NOT appropriate to invade Jay Ward shows though.

'The Doomsday Machine'-just about my favorite episode from tos I don't have a new quote ready, and I'm out of town tomorrow. Anyone who cares to is welcome to jump in with one.

The Wizard calling Tooter Turtle back from some time period he sent him. Tooter Turtle (What a NAME) was part of 'Tennessee Tuxedo and His Friends' These cartoons are sometimes assumed to be done by the Jay Ward studio that made "Rocky and Bullwinkle". The confusion is due to a similar graphic style (largely because they were both animated at the same Mexican 'factory'), and because at times, sybdicators have tossed Tooter Turtle, or Tennessee into the same half hour mix as Bullwinkle. The writing and humor of the shows was worlds apart. While Tennessee and Tooter were nice, they did not have the humor or satire of Bullwinkle. They were intended to be 'educational' as they entertained. I gotta get to bed, and I'm out of town tomorrow. Anyone who cares to is welcome to jump in with new quotes, as I'm too tired right now.

unless I'm mistaken-it's "Bonnie Scotland"

your deductive skills are impressive- you are correct

Since I've been guilty of revealing too much information, and spoiling Sudo's fun, I'll not answer the questions yet. I am a member of 'the Sons of the Desert", which is more of an 'appreciation society' than a fan club, those maybe that's splitting hairs. It was co founded by one of the members of the team while he was still alive. Some of the more notable members being Dick Van Dyke, Orson Bean, Chuck McCann among others. I think kids would still respond to these films if they give them half a chance. The 3 Stooges continue to be wildly popular, though most of their films were b+w and made on the cheap. Moe , Larry, and especially Curly still connect today (as well as the much maligned Shemp). When the team in the clip were at their best, they were unbeatable, and I do worry that they, and others from that time are slipping out of public awareness. We had the advantage of much TV exposure, where today, you have to seek them out, and I'm not sure how to get new generations to do that outside of sitting them down and showing them. If they won't watch something just because it's b+w, then an awful lot of wonderful film history is going to vanish. End of sermon.
