I guess he won't be "right back".

Man, I had a crush on Patty Duke. Replaced the crush I had on Halley Mills.

hmm. I figured him for a pipesmoker.

Nah--Merv Griffin was the poofer. MD was an all-American entertainer in the Johnny Carson tradition.

Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin and Dinah Shore all had great experience from the big band days and had to work their way up. Today, they grab them off the street.

The Lord be with him.

Kids came home to Mike Douglas after school. It was a friendly show.

I was one of those kids -- liked his show and the flowery set.

RIP, Mike. Thanks.

His song "The men in my little girl's life" still gets me.

He used to sing, 1946-51, with Kay Kyser's band on the Kollege of Musical Knowledge.

He came years after Ishkabibble.

They used to have daytime talk shows like Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin and Dinah Shore that weren't garbage fest of lurid images and behavior.

No kidding. Seems like a different planet now.

I was gonna say, 'oh geez, look at the flowers'. Think we still had some of those flower-shaped non-skid deals in the tub at my parent's old house before my older sis & her family remodeled it...

I heard this joke on one of these shows:

"If Totie Fields married Truman Capote, she would be:
Totie Capote"

I know, I know -- GROAN!!! Schmaltz at its best!
