Times may have been simpler, but one good Barney Fyfe episode was worth more than an entire season of today's sit coms.

I was in a purple haze when I thought he excused himself to kiss the guy 'blinded by the light' was by manfred mann I think. I don't recall what made it special , so I'm out a zillion points. I always thought he was 'wrapped up like a doush in the middle of the night'

That sounds like the theme from the show about the guy who came from a certain state. Actually there are 2 states with that name , but this wasn't the West state.

as far as 'Babes in Toyland'-I was responding to wasways reminiscing about the Disney movie, not the clip. I would think you would know me well enough to know that I know what I saw at Radio City Music Hall. It was the recently released Disney version of Babes in Toyland that they screened along with a matinee Rockettes show. I'm not sure about the clip you just played-Ill have to listen again when I take a break.

oh of course-wagon training it across the desert-sudo got it first it went back to b&w though? I find that very intertesting

well, that is curious-I never heard of a show going BACK to b&w. I guess that theme will be bugging me all day then.

The western theme is all about a smoking gun, I think.

You've done it again, Kathy. I know that western theme, but can't put a name to it right now. It will be bugging me all day now! The Disney 'Babes in Toyland" is pretty neat. I saw it at Radio City Music Hall when it opened, with a cub scout pack! But the REAL deal is the Laurel and Hardy, 'Babes in Toyland', ( later re issued as 'March of the Wooden Soldiers') Many women don't like the Stooges. It's a gender thing apparently. The pic you posted isn't exactly the Stooges guys crack up over though. It's From the 60's film, '3 Stooges in orbit", with psuedo stooge Joe DeRita as 'Curly-Joe, and an aged Moe and Larry. Oh, and the second pic is a classic image from a great Stanley Kubrick-'cold war' film.

I thought 'idiot' was a term of endearment for the sox-hence the book title In a perfect world Johnny Damon would have played out his career with the KC Royals, where he began.

I remember digging the fizz but the drink was only so so. Kool-Ade gave a bigger rush. Awhile back I discovered they still made Fizzies and sent away for some. When they say you can't go home again, they know whereof they speak. The Fizzies hardly fizzed, and I couldn't choke the drink down. Maybe I got a bad batch. Now Flav-R-Straws are another thing. I won't even try to find those. I remember well how they just vaguely made chocolate milk when you stirred the straw. Not a substitute for Bosco or Quik-(NOT Nesquik)

Hows come there are no no Bill Mueller wanted posters? self centered for sure-show me a pro athlete who isn't. moronic? that's an unfair cheap shot

they all partnered with John Steed-not at the same time though what did the first 2 have in common? well, they were both judo/karate experts, and they also were both in James Bond films

No-the theme posted was NOT from the show where they bantered back and forth. It was from the sit-com that I described a couple of posts back. I'll concede being 'stumped', because I didn't go with my gut and guess it. It didn't occur to me that you were thinking of the much more popular variety show, which had a much different theme. It did remind of that old sit com they did tho. Tommy as the 'bumbling' angel, who can only be seen by his brother Dick, playing it as straight as a straight man can.

a-HA It was my 'first thought' so I should have gone with it. The reason I didn'y was because Kathy said it was a popular show. It's true that the variety show was quite popular, but this theme came from an earlier sit-com that only lasted one season. The Smothers Brothers ! This theme came from a 1963 or so sitcom that featured Tommy as an angel who is sent to 'help' his brother Dick. I liked it but was one of the few. The Smothers brothers Comedy Hour theme was much different, and I suspect that Kathy was thinking of that show when she put the theme here.

The Mother in Laws-late 60's-Eve Arden, Kaye Ballard, Roger C Carmel-pretty good show ok-back to head scratching

oh-could it be the 'Mother in Laws" ?

Ihave no idea what the movie is. The tv theme is driving me batty, because I know that I know it but can't put a name to it. It's going to be haunting me all day-thanks Kathy.

alas,i'm craving a Bonomo's Turkish Taffy.

It IS Bing right? I thought that was guessed at the start of this. If not, then I'm with Spanky.

In real life, Darla didn't like Alfalfa at all, and has said she was a little afraid of him. On the other hand, she was very fond of Spanky.

Betty , over Veronica Mary Ann,over Ginger Betty Rubble,over Wilma Flintstone am I leaving anyone out? and just how did the name that tune and movie thread push this one out of the way?

Betty Cooper, Reggie Mantle I don't recall if Ethyl, Moose, or Midge had last names-my guess is that Moose at least did I'll save my Archie retrospective for another time

The mother in 'Daisies' was Pat Crowley, a talented comedic actress from several 50's films. She was really the only reason to watch the show, as the husband and kids were as dull a bunch as I can recall. Doris Day played the role in the movie version, with David Niven , I think, and it's one of her better roles, in my opinion. The film is more sophisticated than the usual 50's fare, and holds up even today. I love MASH the film and much of the tv series. It did 'jump the shark' when BJ grew a moustache, Charles replaced the insane Frank Burns, and Radar left. The last few years of the show were pretty weak, for the most part. Sometimes it's better to quit while you're ahead.

I never understood what eating flowers had to do with the tv series. I recently saw the movie that came before it (though it was originally a book , I think), and was surprised at how good it was. "Meet the Beatles' was my first record also. I wore that sucker out. I also continued to love the Beatles right up to the end and beyond.There is a remarkable book out called 'The Beatles" by Bob Spitz, that is the most detailed, honest biography of them I've ever read. It's over 800 pages, and is as in depth a book as you're going to find. It especially focuses on the years before 'Beatlemania'. They don't even get to the Ed Sullivan show before page 500 ! Among other things, I came away understanding Pete Best, Stu Sutcliffe, Brian Epstein and Yoko (ugh) Ono.

coolchef-as far as I know, he's never been in Maine.
