30 minute B&W (with Chester)0r 60 minute color (with Festus)?

Funniest thing about Gunsmoke was how they fooled for so many years the most prudish of TV censors that Miss Kitty was NOT a MADAM running the Long Branch Saloon AND BROTHEL.

There really was a Long Branch hookers and hooch saloon in old Dodge City and if a Miss Kitty was running it she and her ho’s were rolling drunks and spreading STDs to beat the band..

Glad you think this sort of thing is funny. I would execute this guy, his lawyer, and whoever it was who granted such a request.

When you go to prison, it means you lose your rights. No freedom. No burqas. No kosher meals. No Korans. Don't like it? Don't commit a felony.

He’ll wish he had that salami later on.

Glad you think this sort of thing is funny.

Get a life dude, it's called "humor"! Man, it must suck to live in your house............

Seinfeld follows the 80/20 rule. That being that 80% of what they scripted was filler for that other 20% that was absolutely some of the best comedy writing in the age of television.

I think that opens the floodgates for anything to be declared an official religion. The FedGov is not going to like the rules I’m making for mine.

ya gotta love it...

Actually, it doesn't. What bothers me is the fact that many folks such as you have lost all sense of humor and now personalize anything and everything that is said on this site to the point that you folks are just plain bummers that won't get invited to any Christmas parties around here...........

So go wallow in your own misery and make your families just as miserable...........We're going to have fun and party without you! So there Mr. Grumpy Pants!

[Gamecock]

Oh sure, no salami, but you can’t get bagels either!

I wonder if Jerry will again be able to wrestle the marble rye from the little old lady.

Leslie Nielson was originally a serious actor-

but I can’t look at any of his early (serious) work anymore without waiting for him to say “And don’t call me Shirley”
