This will be an interesting search. Who else today could play Lucille, I wonder?

Can't say I'm surprised. By the time it's made, Cate will probably be in "Here's Lucy" age territory. I wonder if they'll find another actress or shelve the project.

Prolific television star Conchata Ferrell has died at 77. https://deadline.com/2020/10/conchata-ferrell-dead-two-and-a-half-men-co-star-77-1234596750/

She played the Evil Queen in the Golan Globus Snow White, one of the more loyal Grimm Brothers adaptations. She was a knockout.

Dame Diana Rigg has passed away at 82 https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-54106509 This is a kick in the guts. She was one of the first celebrities I became a fan of as a child. I used to stay up to watch her introductions to Masterpiece Theatre. What a terrible loss.

Thanks for this. Your last paragraph sounds completely on the nose. Why not come up with your own characters instead of twisting and distorting the lives of real people to fit a fictional narrative? I think I’ll give this one a pass...or else wait for Lindsay Lohan to do the Lifetime Original Movie version.

I meant I hoped he wouldn’t write a book proclaiming the RA theory as factually correct. Chronicling other explanations for that time in her life would be another matter.

Wth those settings, Viv must really be a sight from behind in her knit suit!

It sounds like an interesting concept, to be sure, and I love the title, but historical fiction of this kind makes it easy for misinformation to spread. There are certainly people who will unfortunately take this as gospel. I hope his next book isn't a dramatic retelling of the years she was confined to bed due to RA.

...which was taken from “Lucy Goes to the Hospital.” That’s the only colorised scene (to date) from an episode in the first Ricardo apartment taking place after “Redecorating.” So it’s the only time the replacement furniture has appeared in color.

Redecorating was the 8th episode of season two. “Lucy Goes to the Hospital” was episode 16.

Wasn't it a different sofa that she won in the radio contest? All previous colourised shows taking place in 4A were set before that episode, I think.

You’re not alone. Years ago, Lily Tomlin told a story on a late night show about how she’d publicly referred to “the late Wilford Brimley” and later had to apologise, in writing, to Brimley’s camp, who were deeply offended. She read the letter out loud and it was hysterical.

Good God, I am genuinely stunned. What a sad, sad day. 104 though. What an incredible life and legacy.

Regis Philbin has died at 88

I understand, I’m particular about those things as well. It drives me nuts how many people out there don’t set their televisions to the right aspect ratio, and are happy to watch pictures that are completely distorted.

Which DVD did you watch Harpo Marx on, the season 4 set or the colorised disc? The newer ILL discs use higher compression than the earlier ones, so the picture isn’t as sharp.

So many have passed recently it’s hard to keep up. Joel Schumacher, Kelly Preston...

Have to concur about the tith on edge. I couldn’t believe it when I found out Rainbow was his actual surname. A gay man named Rainbow born in Queens...it’s so on the nose it’s not even funny.

Such sad news. I hope an investigation finds answers as to what exactly happened. They’re now saying her last act was saving her son, but she didn’t have the strength to get herself back in the boat. Something must’ve gone horribly wrong.

Glee actress Naya Rivera is presumed dead after disappearing at a California lake several days ago. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-10/glee-star-naya-rivera-presumed-dead-disappear-at-lake/12441562 I hope she is found alive, but that appears unlikely under the circumstances.

As memory serves, she answered the phone in the office and said, “Well, hello little brother!”

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen any episodes, but I recall the first episode of season 4, the Flip Wilson one, didn’t mention his absence at all. Later in the season, however, there were a few mentions of him being away at college, and Kim received a phone call from him once.

Compliment Neil on this one, I was merely quoting him. This was all his work

So many LOL moments it’s hard to choose a favourite, but “New York based bon vivant John Dodds” makes me chuckle every time. I’m also cracking up at “Viv is Enciente” and the visual of William Frawley being so strong despite you never mentioning his name once.
