The rather underrated "I Married Joan":







Jim Backus (Mr Magoo + Thurston Howell, III) and Joan Davis.

One of the best.

Generally, my TV stays off until it's the news hour or until there is some major sports event.

After watching the Rangers loss online, I went over to You Tube and watched this old gem:

prolly the corniest show on TV but it all made for a few good laffs:








deep in the heart of Jersey ...

any of these guys look familiar:

The Three Stooges with Vernon Dent as OctoPUS GRABus in "Matri Phony":






Now, Trump has the role in real life.

Lucy was the best!

SNL - still one of the funniest shows on TV:

hadn't heard of this show until recently but I understand it's quite funny and may remind you of Trailer Park Boys: https://tinyurl.com/wjveyhs







Will soon have to check YT for any possible episode.

Food fight - food fight!

My fave episode of "Our Gang". Hadn't seen this gem in a long while. Also did not realize this was Tubby, not Chubby whose work helped the Gang vs the Slickers. Sadly, Chubby (my fave member of the Gang) was likely gone by this time. But he like the rest of the troupe will live on in our hearts.

The One & Only Groucho






Always enjoyed You Bet Your Life and TV retrospectives about the Marx bros.

Can you recognize the angry cook at the left of this photo?






This scene was deleted from the final release of the Stooges' "Malice In the Palace" (1949).

Looks kinda like Jim Backus with a fake 'stache.

At first I thought that was Emil Sitka or Jim Backus but, no, it was not either of them.

Please give it another shot.

Well, nobody guessed that the angry cook was none other than Curly Howard in his final role. He came back from illness (he had considerable weight loss which is quite evident in the pic) but the director thought the scene wasn't any good and it was cut from the final production. Darn - would have given anything to see it.

Lucy & Harpo!

earlier today I watched my favorite episode from Car 54 Where Are You:






Utterly hilarious!

Why is the girl in the middle trying to hold back her laughter?

It is because the Stooges are being funny or something else?

^no replies



here's the answer: she's laughing and hiding her lips because Moe planted an actual kiss on her lips. She is trying to laugh it off but he caught her with a good one.

Shemp!
