Car 54, Where Are You Tidbits

Officers Toody (Joe E. Ross) and Muldoon (Fred Gynne) worked in New York's 53rd Precinct, which is a mixed neighborhood, both Irish and Jewish.

Aside from being cops, these two had nothing in common. One was smart, tall, thin and lived with his mother. The other was short, chubby and not too bright.

The first cop sitcom, it also featured Nipsey Russell as Officer Anderson, unusual as blacks weren't getting recurring roles in those days.

Andy Griffith Show Theme Song

"The Andy Griffith Show" by Earle Hagen

Andy Griffith Show Tidbits

Let's make this easy. Andy Griffith left the show in 1968 and it was renamed Mayberry R.F.D. Ken Berry as Sam Jones, another widower with a young son, carried on for Andy.

Andy Griffith Show began as an episode of the Danny Thomas' Make Room for Daddy show.

Almost everyone alive knows that Andy and Opie (Ron Howard) lived with Aunt Bee (Frances Bavier), who had raised Andy and who, when flustered flustered said "Oh, fiddle-faddle!"

Barney Fife (Don Knotts) was the inept but loveable deputy. When Knotts, who won five Emmy Awards for this role, left the show in 1965, they explained it by saying he became a detective in Raleigh. He got a brief shot at his own variety show, The Don Knotts Show, in 1971..

Green Hornet

9/9/1966 - 7/14/1967 ABC

Color - 30 minutes - 86 episodes

Based on the radio by the same name and created by George Trendle.

Produced by Richard Bluel

Green Hornet Cast

Van Williams as Britt Reid/The Green Hornet

Bruce Lee as Kato

****Also:

Wende Wagner as Lenore 'Casey' Case

Lloyd Gough as Mike Axford

Walter Brooke as District Attorney F.P. Scanlon

Green Hornet Theme Song

"Flight of the Bumble Bee" performed by Al Hirt.

Green Hornet Tidbits

Britt Reid (Van Williams) is handed management of his father Dan's newspaper, The Daily Sentinel in Washington D.C. With this comes a mandate to do good in the world, which this family comes by naturally as Dad is a grandnephew of John Reid, also know as - The Lone Ranger.

The Green Hornet is the great-grand-nephew of the Lone Ranger, you ask skeptically. Yes, because George Trendle created both and a plug is a plug is a plug.

The association inspires Britt and so he sets up shop as the Green Hornet, a crimefighting masked crusader. (Sound familiar?) His manservant, Kato (Bruce Lee) assists him in his deeds of derring-do. Only he and the District Attorney (Walter Brooke) know the Green Hornet's true identity.

Yes, THAT Bruce Lee, later to star in a gadzillion martial arts films.

The plot twist. The Green Hornet is considered a criminal by police and so has to beat a hasty retreat after nabbing the bad guys.

That's the end of the ride for today. Please watch your step on exiting the time machine. Now that I've shown you a few, how about you share something from your memory. Or, if one of these were your favorite show then, share a memory of the best episode for you.

Katie said today he was to take a "mid-term" of sorts (being tested on 5 weeks worth of material which they covered in 5 days.) She said he was very confident that he would do well.

Since then it's been cool, dry, and perfect.:)

"I Hurt For You"

Read:
1 Corinthians 12:12-27

If one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. —1 Corinthians 12:26

Bible In One Year: Ezekiel 19-21

cover When my sons were young, one of them stubbed his toe and grimaced with pain. Seeing him trying bravely to bear the agony of those moments, I said, "Son, I'm truly sorry. My toe hurts for you."

Lifting his head, he looked at me and responded, "Dad, your toe doesn't really hurt, does it?"

No, I didn't sense any physical pangs, yet I did share his suffering. I even wished his ache could somehow be transferred to my body.

The apostle Paul said that all believers in Christ are part of "one body" (1 Corinthians 12:13). And if one part suffers, "all the members suffer with it" (v.26).

Are you grieved when a brother or sister in Christ is in trouble? Does it bother you when a believer stumbles into sin and is brought under the chastening hand of the Lord? Do you experience sorrow of heart when a child of God is passing through the deep waters of affliction and trial? If not, ask the Lord right now to help you become the kind of person who can share the heartache of others and sympathize with them.

Yes, to every Christian we meet who is in some kind of distress, we should be ready to say from our heart, "I hurt for you." —Richard De Haan

The hurting ones need sympathy,
They need to know we're there;
A quiet word, a tender touch
Assures them that we care. —D. De Haan

Empathy = your pain in my heart.

Good evening, Mayor! Thank you for your lesson in God's Word. As Christians we always feel what the other is feeling--it's that love we get from the Lord.

How are you and MM tonight! ((((hugs))))
