I call the Lincoln Project the Hooterville “Every Other Wednesday Afternoon Womens Discussion Group”
Just finished watching Dennis H. in Speed.
“You plan on living your life as a parasite, that means a sponge”
Kate’s words to Dennis Hopper. Pretty darn cool.
If the Antifa crowd put as much energy into finding a job, and keeping a job, as they do into rioting, they’d find life would improve dramatically for them.
Love that shoe and Bea Bennedict was one hot mama i know but as i have gottten older and watched the whole series in the last year and it was a wonderful show
LOL. They even have a crazy Uncle Joe on there.
That show was prescient!
“And there’s Uncle Joe, who’s movin’ kind of slow”
My sister met him in Hollywood. There was a party on a yacht that she attended. Some guy went up to her and introduced himself as Dennis and started talking with her. It was Hopper. She said he was a friendly guy and very interesting to talk with.
I always thought Betty Jo was the best looking.
.... Kinda makes me feel kinda old when I actually remember watching this episode in the Living room with my folks on a Thursday night ..... Had no idea the Beatnik was played by Hopper though ....
Oh
My
Gosh
This is NOT the show I saw as a kid. On that show, Kate was really old. On this show, she is young. What happened?
I’m so old ...
I remember Maynard G Krebs! (Look him up youngsters!)
“Work!”
I’m sure I watched it never having heard of Dennis Hopper at that point.
Betty Jo was the only daughter to be played by just one actress for the whole series. Pretty and talented, but it also helped that she was the producer’s daughter. This episode has the 1st of two Bobby Jo’s and of three Billie Jo’s. I think Bobby Jo #2 was the prettiest of the six, although not as good a singer as Bobby Jo #1. BTW, the actor playing bumbling Uncle Joe was much brighter the his usual parts. He was a dentist for several years before finding his niche as a character actor.
All 3 were really pretty.
Dennis Hopper was born in Dodge City, Ks. He is the only actor to make me literally nervous. Frank. Listening to Roy Orbison.
That fascinated 8 year old me. It wasn’t until about 4 years later that I realized why.
Had a historian tell me that the networks made a concerted effort to get away from “rural sitcoms”.
