A VERY Special Episode

The weird thing is, I totally remember this episode AND I remember nobody knowing what I was talking about and wondering if I had indeed made the whole thing up.
Was Monroe Raped?

I'm blocked from this link from work, but are you talking about Monroe from TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT?

Posted: 3/31/11 at 2:32pm

That's all kinds of brilliant.

Blueroses, there's the direct link to the YouTube video. And yes, it's Monroe from Too Close for Comfort.

Thanks Phyl. Youtube (and all social networking sites) are blocked at work, too. I am going to go into the hallway to see if I can access it on my phone...I don't want anyone to hear it.

(Yes, I want to see what this is all about THAT much)

I totally love the fact that blueroses knew who Monroe was...

I also just tracked down The Jetsons from 1985 where George and Jane find out their wedding minister was a fraud and that they aren't actually married. Judy snipes and Elory is so ashamed to be the product of an unmarried union that he and Astro put bags on their heads to hide their faces!

That not-really-married thing must have really been titillating back in the 60's. Rob and Laura Petrie went through it (I think theirs was because Laura lied on the wedding license) and I vaguely recall Andy Taylor having to re-marry someone in Mayberry for a similar reason....

Yes! Laura lied about her age!

Watched it at home. That movie was too funny. Thankfully, I never saw that episode. Poor Monroe!

No one I ask remembers the show HELLO LARRY.

I remember HELLO LARRY.

Didn't it star McLean (what the hell kinda name is that?) Stevenson?

I watched because it was A) A sitcom and B) the girl from ESCAPE FROM WITCH MOUNTAIN was his daughter.

... ah.. a misspent youth!

CONDO was the Mclean Stevenson show I liked.

Poor Monroe. A gay man being raped by two women... every homo's nightmare.

I remember it, too. Like Almira mentioned, current Real Housewife Kim Richards was in it. Joanna Gleason, too.

Yes, it starred McLean Stevenson. I loved Kim Richards! I even love her on Real Housewives because she was so endearing to me all those years ago.

WAIT!!! I don't watch any of the HOUSEWIVES..but the housewife who was an actress is that Kim Richards?

Amazing how lives turn out.

Okay.. so I youtubed HELLO LARRY and the opening came up. Joanna Gleason was on the show???

And the other daughter on the show was name Krista Errickson who it seems stopped a successful acting career in the mid 90s and has had an even more amazing career in world affairs. As it turns out, Erickson is also the granddaughter of Broadway set designer, Jo Mielziner.

Again, amazing where lives go.

Didn't Lucy and Ricky have a "not really married" moment as well?

ETA: Lucy only thought they weren't

Aww. ANGIE was on the same page as HELLO LARRY!

Great theme song, and another silly show I loved. Donna Pescow, Debralee Scott and Tammy Lauren. Tammy Lauren was the teenage hooker who befriended Tootie in a NYC diner and tried to entice her into the lifestyle on a very special FACTS OF LIFE! Tammy went on to portray the unforgettable Ginger Szabo in one of my all-time favorite television series, HOMEFRONT.
