Missed these earlier.  Love the Downtown Abbey/3-4 European set.

I wonder how the set was supposed to have used.  Hiring short actor doubles?

And why look for another Blanche when you've already got the on-screen Ball-Crawford chemistry?

McDevitt could play Mrs. Flagg and Herb Kenwith could be Edwin.

 

  • Lucy Show spinoff series proposed- To take place in Main Street, U.S.A.- Quote: "We already milked two episodes out of that damn set, why not try and make a series out of it?"
  • Ball to make new series for Netflix: Redhead Is The New Brunette, where new Lucy character is sent to prison. Feat. Mary Jane Croft, Mary Wickes, Vanda Barra, Carole Cook, and of course, Iris Adrian and Jody Gilbert as Hard Head and The Matron (respectively).
  • Desilu to produce remake of Mask starring Janos Prohaska
  • As production costs for Downton Abbey mount, PBS makes decision to film all future exteriors on Gary Morton's 3/4 European Street.
  • Now that Lucille Ball has been cast as Baby Jane Hudson in the upcoming made for TV remake, the hunt is on to find the perfect Blanche. Ball allegedly is persistently pursuing actress Ruth McDevitt to play the ill-fated paraplegic.

Brian!! Priceless!! I was having a sip of water and did a spit-take (no joke!) reading the "droopy bosom buddies" line -- but they're all hysterical! Bravo!

----Droopy Bosom Buddies: Joan Collins to play Vera opposite Angie's Mame!---This one's great!

 

NIECE POPULATION EXPLOSION!: PATERNITY TESTS PROVE HARRISON OTIS CARTER IS FATHER OF PATRICIA.  MOTHER GERTRUDE KREBS SUES CARTER FOR 14 YEARS BACK CHILD SUPPORT

 

Just watched Cozi's airing of "Lucy and Donny Osmond" with "niece" Patricia, Brady Bunch's Eve Plumb.  It's revealed Patricia's last name is Carter so unless Harry's sister Sister Paula gave birth before she entered convent, whose child could she be besides Harry's?  Another BTIR* episode.  Lucy's great in the few scenes she has.  Lucie seems to be having pitch problems in her duet with Donny.   One of the few episodes without Gale Gordon.  Cozi doesn't alter their opening credits, but I wonder if in the original, "co-starring Gale Gordon" was cut.

Didn't the Shout! Factory version utilize the alternate intro with Lucy using her beckoning finger, only Lucie's name appeared instead of Gale's?
