Am I signed in?
I'm confused...this site says: Hello rozsie and it looks like I am signed in, but when I try to post it tells me I'm not ... go figure!
I want to respond to NYCguy's post about 13 episodes.
I think it has to do with the fact that there are 52 weeks in the year - divided by 13 would result in the four calendar quarters - convenient for accountants and financial wizards. Maybe that's too logical an explanation, but it works for me.
NYC guy, I recall when some TV shows were only 15 minutes long: soap operas and fill-ins. One in particular was the Liberace show which ran one summer but became so popular it was extended to a full length program...and the rest is history.
There's an old show-biz adage: Always leave them wanting more. And true MM maddicts always want more.
( I hope this posts because I don't want to have to type it out again!)
The Liberace Show I forgot about that show. Remember the Lawrence Welk Show? I used to watch that with my Grandparents all the time.
Trying to submit an email reminder for White Christmas starring Bing Crosby & Danny Kaye but can not find a way to do it.Can someone advise me please?
@ Blue Runner...some PBS stations show the Welk show from time to time - usually around subscription time.
@James...I don't think it's possible to email anyone from this site, unless they post their address. I noticed White Christmas was on last night on AMC. It will probably be on again before the 25th.
hi rozsie, two hints i hope you find helpful.
when ever i start a new day on mm blog i always sign out and sign back in if i havn't sign out before
also i find this site a little funky, so i copy my posts so i can paste it back in to save me from retyping if some how it got lost

Blue Runner--where were you when I was stunned to find my fellow Maddicts (at least none answered) were not forced as a child as I was to watch Lawrence Welk. I asked in 3 separate posts and the only response was that none had seen it. Alas....
"a one and a two".
Adding to jh's post, it also works if your submit fails to hit the back button, copy your post, sign out, sign in, and paste your post back onto the comment box and re-submit. However, jh has good advice for a way to avoid having to hassle with the above altogether.
I watched Lawrence Welk so I could see The Lennon Sisters and Only so I could see The Lennon Sisters. Now my dh doesn't get why I won't watch it. I know someone might holler now but we are each entitled to our opinions. Didn't watch Liberace at all but maybe my family wasn't into him....can't recall.
Normally I copy and paste but didn't this time. Let's see if this goes up.
bipolar and other Lawrence Welk mentioners... a thread waaaaay back there has posts about him...many Maddicts indeed mentioned being forced to watch as kids. Agony!
...I, like sab, watched in order to see the Lennon Sisters....loved them....but, just tolerated the rest of it....never could understand how he was born in S. Dakota (I think) but spoke with a German accent....then I learned that the town was German-speaking...at least it made more sense after I knew that! ha
I believe Drink&Smoke posted (among lots of others I can't recall...CRS again) that he was mentally scarred forever (lol) by having to watch that show as well....it's still shown on our local PBS station....I am sorry to say that I believe our local PBS station produces/packages (whatever) it for national viewing on all the other PBS stations....not sure about that, but I've heard it.
Anyway, I did love watching the Lennon Sisters and laughing at all the "old people" cutting the rug in the audience. I kept waiting for some of them to keel over mid-Foxtrot -- or whatever that dance they were doing was....the Polka??
Gosh I guess I'm weird...I kind of like The LW Show and that bubble machine. But then I wasn't about to ask my grandparents to turn the channel.
Kind of random (well very random) but I also remember watching The Wonderful World Of Disney with them. Anyone remember that deal. It would be a movie or a cartoon from Disney.
Oh the good old days.
My first time submitting - I am a Maddict in the worst way and feel I know you all personally - having visited this site now more regularly than church :) You make my weeks go by with the insightful commentary and are making (barely) this 9 month wasteland bearable until next August.
Born in '61, I also remember the Wonderful World of Disney - and, in fact, had a thing for young James MacArthur in their movies (Swiss Family Robinson for example) befor his Hawaii-50 Days.
Anyone also remember Sherri Lewis and Lambchop? I think she had a weekly show in the 60's. I actually also loved her as an adult and was sad for my children when she died - she was a consumate performer and gave a tremendous amount to children.
But back to Madmen - I MISS JON HAMM! Anyone know what the cast members are doing during their hiatus? Carterbuck
Awwww Lambchop. I always thought that was kind of a strange name. It's a little mean isn't it?
Well, howdy there, Julie!
Welcome to the Maddicts in Mourning Website (lol ~~ ?)
Just kiddin', but somehow we manage to survive (just barely) each off-season. It's awful, though. It just drags and drags until August each time....join the club....misery loves company, I reckon.
I do remember Shari Lewis! I used to pine for her ponytail ~~ alternated between coveting it and/or Janet Lennon's....never had long enough hair for one and I would have died for either!
Yes, James MacArthur was hot....I used to lust after him in Spencer's Mountain....esp. the part when he and Claris (?) went up to the mountain and did the deed on the spot in the meadow where a deer had slept and she could "still feel the warmth of it's body" ~~ he came home with a doozy of a sunburn and was in the bathroom putting Noxema on it when Henry Fonda came in and told him that next time "If I were you, I'd find me a shady spot"!!
Loved that movie, it also has Maureen O'Hara who looks soooo much like my dear departed Mom (except for the red hair, which was gorgeous, but my Mom was a brunette) I read where the girl who plays the university president's secretary (when Clay Boy goes to enroll) was her daughter and Henry Fonda was after her all through the shooting of those scenes....Maureen had to straighten him out and tell him to leave her daughter alone!
Anyway, welcome to the forum, we need all the company we can get to make it through!
