    Couldn't agree more. SUPERB cast and writing. Think how few props they usually had: tiny kitchen table w/ 2 chairs; icebox; sink; window;
    door; dresser; Ralph's bus driver hat & uniform; Alice's apron; Norton's felt fedora & T-shirt; and maybe lodge caps for Ralph & Ed. The bedroom was purely in the viewer's imagination, as was Ed's & Trixie's apt.

    You KNOW the show was good because it's funny 50 years later. Kinda like Laurel & Hardy....timeless interpersonal situations.

    Let's go way back. How many watched "The Young Rascals" while growing up?

    Also called "Our Gang".

    Brilliant show.

    I still like their music. Felix could "get down" on that Hammond. Happy music.

    I liked a band around that time from up your way. The Guess Who. What a sound!

    A Canadian band whose best-known song was probably American Woman....

    This is true. :rolleyes:

    A song thrown together at a live concert in Boston i think. The band was having some sound problems so as they were waiting for their crew to get things right, Randy Bachman started to play his now famous lead in to the song, Burton Cummings threw in some lyrics and American Woman was born, basically between sound checks. :D :D

    Looks like we need to start a trivia thread here if it hasn't already been done.

    Agreed?

    10-4. Music is a trivia thread that could run on forever.

    Here's one:

    Cream's famous 60s album Disraeli Gears got its title because one of the band members (not Clapton) wanted a bicycle with derailleur gears and couldn't get the term correct. The rest, as they say, is history.... :cool: :cool:

    Well, I can narrow it down to Ginger Baker or Jack Bruce.

    Fifty percent chance of being right, Ginger Baker.

    Heh-heh-heh....I could only remember Baker, not Bruce. It was Bruce who messed up the pronunciation.

    Your consolation prize is a "45" of Nancy Sinatra's These Boots Are Made For Walkin'. Arrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhh....!!!
