HarryCarter 1,221 Report post Posted December 15, 2017 On The Golden Globe 75th Anniversary Special the other night, they showed a brief clip of Desi Jr. presenting Diana Ross with her Golden Globe for New Star of the Year. For some reason, he pronounced her name as "Deanna." Maybe Liza put him up to it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brock 3,449 Report post Posted January 5, 2018 I watched Young Sheldon for the first time tonight and Valerie Mahaffey’s character used the word “franistan” multiple this time, this time in the context of “doohickey”. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mot Morenzi 1,733 Report post Posted February 7, 2018 I just saw the Wings episode where Antonio becomes obsessed with I Love Lucy. He initially thinks the show is mainly about Fred and Ethel. In the main plot, Brian gets involved in a very Lucy-esque scenario trying to sneak into Clint Black's hotel room. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never knew that was a thing! Isn't it interesting how at least three different shows (Golden Girls, Designing Women, Wings) devoted entire plot lines to characters watching I Love Lucy? Talk about cultural impact! It really is just the absolute best there ever was or ever will be. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After watching a number of episodes, he finally says something like, "It's a great show, but there's no way someone would ever do these types of things in real life." Cut to Brian scaling the trellis to the hotel balcony. The opening scene was a hoot. "I just found this wonderful old show about this couple, Fred and Ethel." "Oh, you mean I Love Lucy." "Who? Oh, right, the neighbor." As an aside, Kirstie Alley makes a cameo as Rebecca from Cheers in this episode. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brock 3,449 Report post Posted March 12, 2018 I was leafing through Orry-Kelly's long-lost autobiography Women I've Undressed (released in 2016 as a stunning coffee table book) and Lucy makes a brief mention: He praises her for giving up wagon wheel hats by the end of the 50s, which he thinks distracted from her overall look. He mentions this on connection with her appearance on the Hedda Hopper special. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freddie2 972 Report post Posted March 12, 2018 I googled “wagon wheel hat” and literally got a photo of a baseball cap with a picture of wagon wheels on it. I can probably assume what they are; does she wear one in Celebrity Next Door? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, it's only a one line deal. Pick up the book, if you haven't already. I think you'd be in heaven. The illustrations are amazing. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freddie2 972 Report post Posted March 13, 2018 I think I’ve seen a little bit of that documentary. I remember it being very unique, as far as documentaries go. They hint at Kelly and Cart Grant having had an affair. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have enjoyed Mulaney since discovering him in his not-very-good FOX short-lived sitcom with Martin Short a few seasons ago. Funny though I must have dropped off for a moment -- a not uncommon occurence anymore trying to stay awake through SNL -- as I totally missed the ILL mention. Dang now I'll have to go back and watch it again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
