No matter ho...I think you've got a great plan! No matter how many bloggers there are, everyone has their own "voice" and particular interests, and I especially enjoy your style. :) Sounds like you'll be providing a fun place for like-minded folks to hang out, so to speak!<br /><br />Wasn't Bob a stitch in that clip? I remember reading in Ginger's autobiography that her cousin Phyllis married Bennett Cerf -- I'll look for those clips, they sound great.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09626109831176745957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517589.post-68126768454158315632010-09-04T16:48:26.217-05:002010-09-04T16:48:26.217-05:00Thanks for the kind words Laura- it's good to ...Thanks for the kind words Laura- it's good to be back. The guilt of being to busy to post was a little difficult. The worst feeling, however, was always feeling the need or pressure I placed on myself to get out there with every bit of news, or to write the essays and film history essays and reviews- it became too much like work, which was already crowding my time.<br />An unintended hiatus turned out to be the thing to clear my head a little and make me realize that while the classic film and blogging community had grown, we could still be a part of it and be ourselves and just enjoy everything. <br />From what I've been told Wolf has something neat in store- and we want to go back and do some of our favorite stuff- like the Holiday candy "reviews" the classic cartoons, the OTR clips, etc, etc. We just really want revamp it the way we have most enjoyed doing it. Preposition-ending sentences and all. <br />By the way- I watched that Bob Montgomery clip and knew I had to post it for you. I love these old game shows. The "celebrities" seemed to be more willing to poke fun at themselves, a little more down to earth and a lot funnier than the crowd we have now. Watch the Ginger Rodgers clips - she was related by marriage to one of the regular panelists and was always trying to fool him anyway she could. Funny stuff.J.C.

Than...Are you sure the blindfolds are on securely? <br />Thanks Jacqueline. And I have just fallen in love with find old game shows in YouTube with our favorite stars as guests. What's My Line was able to get a ton of stars on the show; both as guests and panelists. I'm starting to look at some of the old Password shows- my favorite is the, what else, Jack Benny episode.J.C.
