What an intelligent choice!<br /><br />SO looking forward to the DVD blogathon. And as for sending emails to you with the right wording in the subject line, I can't say what I would think, but if YOU would "...be amazed at how many missives I receive from lonely Internet gals looking for a three-way", then I won't contradict you.

But that's fine and dandy re: the posting -- the link is the important thing, and I'm pleased to have you aboard. And I know you're going to have the best time!<br /><br />And Mr. Doran bared his soul:<br /><br /><i>And if I attract Spam,I hope you might find my little notes to be a Treet.<br />(Canned meat joke.)</i><br /><br />Rimshot! Fortunately, my television-learned friend, Blogger does have a spam filter that catches most of it before it's displayed for all to see in the comments section...what makes me so grumbly is that I have to clean it out on occasion, as if I were skimming a swimming pool. But it's good to have you back.Ivan G Shreve Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04067177808320053382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307577717655310918.post-43816087551268235142011-09-21T15:41:16.523-04:002011-09-21T15:41:16.523-04:00"The Host and Mrs. Muire" - that's p..."The Host and Mrs. Muire" - that's perfect.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307577717655310918.post-44603825280106431412011-09-21T10:29:04.267-04:002011-09-21T10:29:04.267-04:00Featured in a few of the early NYC episodes was Jo...Featured in a few of the early NYC episodes was Joey’s manager Freddy, played by comic Guy Marks…but he was replaced (Marks just vanished from the show without explanation—my theory is that Joey Barnes is a murderer) during the second season by comedian Corbett Monica, who played “Larry Corbett.” <br /><br />Thanks for that, Ivan! I looked at the dates for his 19 episodes on the show, and the date for his one episode of 'The Dick Van Dyke Show', and I can now make the theoretical claim that his Freddy was Freddy White in the "Jilting The Jilter" episode. <br /><br />That'll be a little extra juice for the DVD Show chronology I'm working on for the blogathon. (I've also decided that the reason Kolac of Twilo looked like Danny Thomas is because he was played in that schlock movie by Danny Williams!)<br /><br />I've wanted to do the Dick Van Dyke Show timeline for years, spurred on by that episode with Uncle Hezekiah. Thanks for giving me the impetus to get started on it. (Although it's becoming so lengthy now, I may not be able to complete it by the Third. But I will post what I have by then.)<br /><br />Nihil euge!Toby O'Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999037844031101965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307577717655310918.post-55720627765718100882011-09-20T18:09:54.288-04:002011-09-20T18:09:54.288-04:00Jeez, Ivan, I swear I had no idea that I attracted...Jeez, Ivan, I swear I had no idea that I attracted spam (or at least that my sole option did...).<br /><br />This is one of the perils of giving an old coot like me one of these dad-blamed newfangled "confusers" (as Uncle Bobby Collins, a Chicago radio guy of beloved memory, always called them).<br /><br />Anyhow it is nice to be back here at TDoY. I miss you during your all too frequent absences.<br />Now that you get MEtv down where you are, I'm curious about your reaction to Svengoolie, who's been an institution here in Chicago for more than 20 years.<br />If your area starts to get MEtoo, you should know that Rich Koz (Sven's other self) hosts the popular Saturday night <i>Stooge-a-palooza</i>, introducing Three Stooges shorts in a sort of modified Robert Osborne style. There's talk that Rich may be adding shorts by other comics to the mix (nothing definite yet, but we all live in hope).<br /><br />I imagine that you'll soon be tied up with an updated obit column, which with all your recent away time could take days, so I'll back off for a while.<br /><br />And if I attract Spam,I hope you might find my little notes to be a Treet.<br />(Canned meat joke.)Mike Dorannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307577717655310918.post-58293923139153356902011-09-20T17:22:28.935-04:002011-09-20T17:22:28.935-04:00Hi Ivan, you can count me in for the blogathon too...Hi Ivan, you can count me in for the blogathon too, if it's OK if I post a day or so early...I've got a good idea for a post now, seeing as how I'll be seeing Dick Van Dyke and Carl Reiner <a href="http://laurasmiscmusings.blogspot.com/2011/09/dick-van-dyke-at-egyptian-theatre.html" rel="nofollow">in person</a> at the Egyptian Theatre at a 50th Anniversary celebration for the show on October 1st! <br /><br />Just got THE OFFICIAL DICK VAN DYKE SHOW book for that night's book signing. :) <br /><br />Best wishes,<br />LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09626109831176745957noreply@blogger.com
