Yes. What do you suggest?

Yes. What do you suggest?

...swift execution for an evil, cold-blooded cop killer.

Sounds good to me.

On his walk home from the studio, he stops in at Ginsburg's for a cup of coffee. He orders from the waitress, who apologizes "Gee I'm sorry about that". Mamie couldn't work for her. Jack responds, "That's alright, Gladys." They argue a bit, and Gladys gives him his golf ball back. The cabbie, Joe, asks if Jack wouldn't like to go out with he and Mamie for New Year's. At home, Jack walks in and is greeted by Rochester asking, "Is that you Josephine?". Jack and Rochester talk about world conflicts. Jack's boarder, Mr. Billingsley, comes in walking on his hands, as per usual, and immediately turns in. Jack and Rochester then turn on the radio to listen to the end of the program.

Boy you are good!

I’d love to hear the Shadow and MT tonight.

This reminds me of Ricky Nelson’s untimely death in a plane crash on New Year’s Eve 26 years ago.

? What does?

Ozzie and Harriet. They’re Ricky’s parents. He’s on the show as a kid...

Oh. That’s news to me.

Ricky Nelson’s story is a typically tragic Hollywood-type story: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Ricky_Nelson

I hope the Shadow is the next show.

And he was a horn-dog...

Horn-dog men don’t like horn-dog women for long.

I didn’t know that about him.

Horn-dog men don’t like horn-dog women for long.

I need to think about this one.

I'm heading to the radio with fingers crossed for the Shadow. Have a great week all.

Yea! THE SHADOW

I didn’t know that about him.

If we trust the iffy Wikipedia, you can read about it in that link about Ricky Nelson I posted above.
