I don't believe we've played any, "Let George Do It," on Dimestore before. It's another detective show, and not too bad, either. But I only know a few shows, and I've never done a wide overview. I may run it on Dimestore someday, but for now: here's a Holiday entry!

Bob Bailey - who played George Valentine in this show - also played the lead in, "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar," for a number of years. Johnny Dollar was played by a TON of different people during it's run, and many people consider the date the last episode of Johnny Dollar aired to be the official END of the Golden Age of Radio. (Sometime in September, 1962.)

Thanksgiving non celebrator here! But my friends and I do like food! Parties vary between getting some pizzas, catering by Trader Joe's, and people going all out with homemade breads, dips, desserts, the works! There's also always a veggie tray. That's kind of obligatory in our group.

Baby Snooks was from a comedy show, "The Baby Snooks Show." This sketch is sort of a run-down of the kind of comedy that show featured.

Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 10:09pm

Baby Snooks was played by a woman who was 40 years older than the "character" they were playing. They played this character until 1950, when Fanny Brice - the actor - was very old.

Frank Morgan is probably best known for playing a number of characters in "The Wizard of Oz." But he was a comedian for a number of years, who had a gimmick sort of like this routine, here. I ADORE Frank Morgan, and I think his comedy is PERFECT. If I could do comedy, I would love to do something like what he does. (It's like a proto-Lord Buckley, sort of.)

My dad fancied himself an amateur "gold miner." He drug me to all sorts of places, to set up his "sluice boxes," while he was panning somewhere else on the river. He has a tiny jar he put his "flecks" in. He never found more than little flecks, but he was always very proud of them.

The saying grace bit brought to mind how my dad starts speaking Olde Englysh when saying grace. Lots of "thee" "thou" and "thy." We did grow up with stilted and formal language but not, like, Shakespeare stylee.

I noticed some of my family slipping into the "mother" / "father" stuff, to reinforce it with their kids. Then shifting it to "grandmother" / "grandfather," to reinforce it with the grandkids. I find it all very creepy.
