Wouldn't Billy Crystal's character on SOAP be considered a lead (it was one of the regulars in an ensemble cast)?

Hmmmm...the rich side of the family, I hope.

"Obviously, you never went to the Murder She Wrote-themed attraction at MGM Studios in Orlando. They played the theme non-stop."

Is that like the old people's version of "It's a Small World?"

No, duh, the Hilton side is the rich side. She and her sisters worked for a living as little kids.

Not sure...what Emmy Award would he be up for? Supporting or Lead?

and...Snarky McRath, she could've been a Hilton too, duh!

Yes! Except all the puppets look like Ann Jillian, Connie Stevens, Len Cariou and that guy who played J.D. on Designing Women.

Hey, you're the one who knows so damn much pop culture. How could you not know that Kim Richards is Kathy (Richards) Hilton's sister?

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 10/23/06 at 12:21pm

Actually, considering I watched her entire reality show (Kathy's), I should know that.

I liked Kim Richards.

I hear she's exec-producing a new TV project for her nieces. Return to Bitch Mountain.

The kid who played her older brother on NATP, the middle kid, killed himself.

Think he knew Buffy?

the old-people version of "it's a small world" sounds like a game my grandmother likes to play when we go to the movies called "wasn't he on matlock?"

she's shouts this out randomly during every movie i take her to. it's fun. you should all take her to the movies sometime and see for yourself.

oh, and by the way, the answer is always, "no, gram."

Ooo blue! Nice one.

Yeah, doodle, Kim's the successful child actress, Kathy's the successful married woman, and the other one just kind of rides their coattails. Forget her name - it's a K too.

The kid that played Jody looked a lot like Mick Hucknall from Simply Red!

I think Matlock and Murder She Wrote shared guest stars. My dad loved the Matlock theme, because he's a big Dixieland fan.

I am obsessed with TV theme music. I have about a dozen CDs of nothing but TV theme songs from the 70's, 80's, and 90's.

"Streaks on the china...never mattered before, who cares?"

The kid that played Jody also starred on Sigmund the Sea Monster.

Johnny Whitaker.

Mr. Belvedere is on my iPod for some reason, Jaily.

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 10/23/06 at 12:31pm

and Calvin, you know that JD was played by Richard Gilliland who is married to Jean Smart in real life.

Sheesh!

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 10/23/06 at 12:32pm

I loved Sigmund the Sea Monster.

[Calvin]

Posted: 10/23/06 at 12:34pm

I didn't know that. But she and Douglas Barr had such "great" chemistry. Actually, he was one of the worst actors ever to appear on that show. And I'm including the late Lewis Grizzard's guest appearance.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 10/23/06 at 12:35pm

Are you including Hal Holbrook?

[JailyardGuy]

Posted: 10/23/06 at 12:35pm

I have it too, Calvin!

"When you drop-kicked your jacket...as you came through the door, no one glared!"

Do you KNOW how many years it took me to decipher that lyric?

[Calvin]

Damn. That show had a lot of nepotism, didn't it? Did Annie Potts have a husband, and did he ever appear on the show?

He's still better than Danny Thomason, aka Reggie Mac the circus guy.

oh, how about "land of the lost" ?

annie was secretly married to the pig for awhile, but it didn't last.

[doodlenyc]

I was going to mention Danny Thomason too, Calvin...although I love the look Charlene gives him after he offers to do her taxes.

"annie was secretly married to the pig for awhile, but it didn't last."

The pig? You mean Alison?

[RobbO]

Posted: 10/23/06 at 1:02pm

was that the pig's name?
