On 64000 did they DANCE around the questions? Jeez, ex-squeeze me I missed the "key" word! Okay how about "Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts"?? " Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C L A U D E 2,005 Report post Posted September 6, 2011 Arthur Murray's Dance Party? C O R R E C T ! Finally. I just read in the Desilu reboot that it topped the ratings at number one when one of the Lucy Desi specials aired and landed at number two. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess the show was BEFORE your time then, LOL! If i had asked what show always asked viewers to stay tuned for the great Lucille Ball in I Love Lucy, then you would be right with Arthur's show! It preceded it at one point. When they were just starting out of course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C L A U D E 2,005 Report post Posted September 6, 2011 What Oscar winning actress used to open her show in a different evening gown every week? But then protested when her shows started being seen the world over in syndiucation and she was afraid people would think she was wearing old clothes. No longer in style.

leenorman 506 Report post Posted September 7, 2011 YOU ARE CORRECT, MADAM! Â TX!!!! And, to correct your inquiry - the original RP QUESTION was that someone on this Lounge, forget who now, thinks he's GOOD LOOKING?????????????????????? for an older gentleman... I have a cuppla pair extra eyeglasses if you need them.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil 1,489 Report post Posted September 7, 2011 Wildcat? Â That's correct....And in Lucy's version Bill Frawley is referred to (as Fred Mertz). Frawley was in a movie called "Wildcat" in 1942. I'd never heard of it. Totally different plot since Lucy's Wildcat was written specifically for Broadway. "Wildcat" is one of the very few completely original musicals. Almost all are based on some other work ("My Fair Lady" "Dolly" "Mame""West Side Story") or an actual person's life ("Gypsy"), sometimes rather loosely ("Annie Get Your Gun"). I'm hard pressed to come up with more than one or two that were completely original. Even "Music Man" was based on some stories Meridith Wilson had written I think.

C L A U D E 2,005 Report post Posted September 7, 2011 You mean like the series based on The King & I with Yul Brynner? Oh, so there was at least one then. I guess i figured loads of comedy series would have been based on popular plays like The Odd Couple for example. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neil 1,489 Report post Posted September 8, 2011 All of these are also movies: Barefoot in the Park Stage Door Mister Roberts The Front Page   The Front Page was a TV series?  Given all the incarnations Auntie Mame went through, you'd think it would have eventually become a TV series. Seems a natural and lots of plot possibilities. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarryCarter 1,181 Report post Posted September 8, 2011 The Front Page was a TV series? Â It was briefly in 1949. The CBS series starred John Daly! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarryCarter 1,181 Report post Posted September 8, 2011 I keep thinking of more: My Sister Eileen (with Elaine Stritch) You Can't Take It With You (I Remember) Mama (the only successful show I've listed so far) Â I know there was a sitcom pilot done of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" in the 1970s that wasn't picked up.

No, i was thinking of Steven Spielberg in that Facts of Life ep where he played the janitor. LOL! No, you're right of course, saw that show yesterday and he was one lousy actor. How many Oscar winners can you think of who later had their own series on television? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
