WHATS MY LINE (1959) Grouche Marx panelist
Continuing with our nostalgia for the days when Television was a tad more intelligent, and also because this is a damn funny show that we just recently caught up with, here's an episode originally broadcast September 20, 1959 of that wonderful Game Show WHATS MY LINE in which, along with the regular...

Re: What Happened to Kalton C. Lahue
While we're on the topic of Kalton Lahue, I'm curious to know more about Sam Gill. It sounds like a lot of you all know him personally. All I know is that he went to the University of Kansas and I guess now is retired from the Herrick Library. But what happened in between that stirred his interest ...

What Happened to Kalton C. Lahue
Speaking with Sam Gill this week, Sam told me that he had finally tracked down what had happened to an Author whose work most likely influenced most of us here, Kalton C. Lahue, who wrote what is still two of the most important books on Silent Comedy, WORLD OF LAUGHTER, and CLOWN PRINCES AND COURT J...

WHAT IN THE WORLD? (1954) with Vincent Price
Here's something that you don't see anywhere on television anymore, a program featuring people who actually know about something (in this case art and archaeology) examining artifacts and going through the process of figuring out what they are. We the viewers may actually learn something about art a...

Re: Richard M.Roberts Banned from Nitrateville
1. You are not actually entitled to see any of this stuff. 2. You are damn lucky to be seeing so much that you are seeing and for so little. 3. Whining about imperfections in 80-100 year old films that may barely survive at all or in less then perfect condition only shows your ignorance and ingrati...

Re: Snub Pollard - Blue Sunday
It's BLUE SUNDAY (1921) allright, and the music is "Keystone Kapers" by Spike Jones, which hearing always takes me back to fond memories of the Disneyland Old Movie Theater on Main Street, where it played endlessly to never-ending loops of a half-dozen silent movies.

Re: Harold Ramis RIP
No one else here is allowed to give an opinion at half past anytime...... (Go check your email) Oh baloney, you can disagree and hail SNL to the high heavens if you wish, I'm just not going to join in with you, unless you can convince me otherwise. I said SNL had its moments, but SCTV had a lot mor...
