Happy Sunday all...

Never heard of the Joan Davis Show...2000 Plus is funny and sad as they had great expectations for living after the year 2000 and never thought America would be dumbed and torn apart by the Dems as the country is; it could have been a horror show instead of scifi...The Sealed Book seems a new show...

How are you?

The Joan Davis Show

------------------


I didn't know "I Married Joan"
had a predecessor.

[Vision]

I'll give it a try.

[sparklite2]

I Married Joan featured Jim Backus as the husband, and Joan a type of I Love Lucy. The two tv shows shared resources.

IMJ was programmed against Disneyland and ended up being cancelled. Joan remarked they had been ‘killed by a mouse.’

[Vision]

What do you mean by The two tv shows shared resources?

[sparklite2]

Both of their first seasons employed the same director, they used the same studio at General Service Studios, and even the same premiere date of October 15.

Hi, Vision! Don’t you wish we could just have Daylight Saving Time permanently and be done with this twice-yearly time change NONSENSE?

How’s it going?

[Vision]

Huh.

Joan’s voice was unique. I think she may have played a male student (Walter) in Our Miss Brooks.

[Vision]

Hi Gina, life is good. I believe I’d like to keep DST all year so there’s light at the end of the day.

[sparklite2]

She had a kind of smoky voice, alright.

[Viking2002]

Evening, folks...........

[Vision]

What's the damage look like the week after?

[WXRGina]

Hi, Viking! I hope you’re doing well.

[Calvin Locke]

Be glad you don’t work in a cuckoo clock museum. One in the UK has over a thousand clocks that have to be changed when BST begins/ends.

[Viking2002]

Slowly cleaning up. Everyone pitches in when and where they can. I've stayed clear of the area for now because I don't want to be another gawker getting underfoot. We're looking for somewhere to donate - we didn't get to church today because she has a stomach bug, so we'll just ping someone there and ask them what the church's plans are. The Poarch tribe of Creek Indians donated money to the East Alabama Medical Center to cover the cost of funerals for all the victims and DeMarcus Ware of the Denver Broncos is covering the cost of all of the grave markers. One church in Beauregard is asking for people to please stop donating clothing and cases of water because they're gotten too much and don't have places to store it. But, that's how people are down here.

[WXRGina]

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Good point, C.L.! :-D

[WXRGina]

But, that's how people are down here.

Yep!
