Last night I saw part of the movie "Anatomy of a Murder" on TV. It was made in 1959 and good ol' Floyd had a small part in it. He played a Dr. It was the first thing I've seen him in that he played it "straight" & not comical. Also,if I remember correctly,the old Lassie show had an operator name

I was watching the movie "The Wild One"with Marlon Brando and saw good old Ben Weaver. Two of the motorcycle gang members were Alvy Moore (Hank Kimball on green acres) and Jerry Paris (The Dick Van Dyke show). Here's a bit of trivia about that movie...Brando & most of the rest of the gang were r

Yesterday, we changed from being on an old septic system, to city sewers. While watching the workers opening up the old tank, filling it up, then covering the whole thing with dirt, I was thinking of Barney and what a good son he was when he bought his parents a new septic tank for their an

I watched a biography of Paul Newman and in it they said that he is so good at what he does,that he makes it look easy. I think the same could be said for Don Knotts. He was one of the all time greats when it came to physical comedy, and an outstanding actor as well.

If you remember "Captain Midnight" from the 50s (I was a mere child) Olan Soule (a.k.a.John Masters) played a scientistyou know,one of the boys in the lab. Funny that he would play a similar role on Dragnet. I guess he just looks like a lab technition/choir director.

I watched "My fair Ernest T. Bass" last night. When Mrs. Wiley told Andy all the weird things Ernest T did, Andy asked if anybody tried to stop him,to which she replied "Well Mr. Schwump tried to pinch him" What a hoot! Wouldn't you just love to see good old Mr. Schwump trying to pinch Ern
