DGrant and Rath -

It's amazing how so many of the 70's shows have prolonged their lives and become beloved by younger generations through the magic of syndication.

Have a great day!!!

Were either of you fans of that Nell Carter show, "Gimme a Break" - it ran from (I am guessing here) '79 - '86 or so?

Posted: 2/1/05 at 3:20pm

Rath - I saw it maybe a couple of times, just to see Nell (I had seen her in Ain't Misbehavin') - but I really didn't care for the show. I was just happy she had the work!

Darn!! I missed the quiz again! Anyone else looking forward to Alan Alda in Glengary Glenross?
My daughter just saw him on a M*A*S*H DVD and thought "wow he was hot!" (still is IMHO!)

Posted: 2/1/05 at 3:48pm

Hi Mom Probably won't see Glengary, as the play really isn't up my alley. But I've been very happy to see the career he's maintained all these years. I really wish we could have seen QED a few years ago. He's always been one of my faves!

Actually Dave and I are looking forward to a few dramas this year (that don't include us as major players!) So the chance to see him live would be fantastic!

Posted: 2/1/05 at 4:04pm

Mom - our trip is filling up almost entirely with stars in revivals - it should be a nice change of pace. And dramas that don't star yourself are always better!

Amen to that DG! Every year it seems that we think it's going to be a blah season, we find tons ofstuff and can't get to it all.

Posted: 2/1/05 at 4:17pm

Marquise - I had - and STILL have - all of their albums! David was the answer to the prayers of my childhood

Mom - I'm getting us to shows in every available slot, and we still will feel like we missed a few things.

[mominator]

Posted: 2/1/05 at 4:26pm

Thanks Marquise! DG, I am still upset at myself that we missed Pacific Overtures.

Posted: 2/1/05 at 4:32pm

Mom - we only get one week there a year, so there's no way to see everything. I just try to pick things that probably won't come all the way out here.

[mominator]

Posted: 2/1/05 at 4:35pm

I do have it a bit easier. Sometimes you just can't get tickets.
So what are you going to see? And when will you be there?

Posted: 2/1/05 at 4:38pm

Mom - gotta run, but I'll send you a PM with the details later. Have a fabulous evening!

My Partridge Family collection is not complete. I do not have the double album. Probably never got it because all the songs are on the other albums.

beacon, that was great! Thanks!

From the sounds of Boobs' record collection, none of us will have to bring any 45's or albums! He already has them. I'll bring any he might be missing, though!
