Too easy
M. Mitchell Marmel 5:07 PM
Concentration?
Garth Johnson 5:07 PM
I’ll pass that on to Joan to answer
Laura Leibowitz 5:07 PM
OK, I wondered.
Tom Vorce 5:07 PM
Yep, me today. It’s pushin' 90 degrees today.
Laura Leibowitz 5:07 PM
Garth - Again, well played.
Dang…'tis all across the country apparently.
OK, let me post a quick “chat time” on the facebook page and we’ll get started with the show…
Garth Johnson 5:08 PM
The source of today images
R.Hookie 5:08 PM
OIC
Laura Leibowitz 5:09 PM
Aha…I wondered if that was the source. I remember when that page first went up. It’s well done.

Michael Amowitz 6:07 PM
They finally sent me the new password... Jello, folks!

Laura Leibowitz 6:09 PM
Hey hey…welcome, Mike!
M. Mitchell Marmel 6:09 PM
And we’re back!
Matt Votisek 6:09 PM
Wow. That was way better than the movie!
Tom Vorce 6:09 PM
That was very well done.
R.Hookie 6:09 PM
Hi again folks~!
Laura Leibowitz 6:09 PM
Sure was!
Kathy Fuller Seeley 6:09 PM
what a great TV show! thanks for sharing, and yes it was better than the movie
!
M. Mitchell Marmel 6:09 PM
Had a hectic day today playing Billy Bones and doing Foley for our audio theater production of “Treasure Island”:.
Laura Leibowitz 6:09 PM
I think also having done it on Ford Theatre, that improved it and then it improved again under Wedlock and Snyder for Omnibus.
Mitch - How fun!
So what specifically made it better than the movie?
For me, the less physical comedy for Jack, the better.
M. Mitchell Marmel 6:10 PM
Yeah, but tiring. Think I’m gonna call it an evening.
Kathy Fuller Seeley 6:10 PM
a great idea, that sometimes a story improves from multiple editing and cutting-down choices, it was meant to be a 55 minute story
Laura Leibowitz 6:10 PM
Seeing him swimming in a coffee cup is not his cup of tea
Matt Votisek 6:10 PM
I just think the story was tighter.
Steve Archer 6:10 PM
Faster pace, Audience.
M. Mitchell Marmel 6:11 PM
See y’all next time!
Laura Leibowitz 6:11 PM
Audience absolutely.
Steve Archer 6:11 PM
It played more like a Benny show skit than the movie.
R.Hookie 6:11 PM
You didn’t like Jack getting dunked in coffee?
Matt Votisek 6:11 PM
Thx everybody!
Kathy Fuller Seeley 6:11 PM
the only thing missing from the film version is the WWII refugees
Laura Leibowitz 6:11 PM
I just tend to cringe most times Jack gets a laugh with some physical bit of business.
M. Mitchell Marmel 6:12 PM
Nite!
Laura Leibowitz 6:12 PM
Also better not having the girl trying to commit suicide.
Night, Mitch!
Kathy Fuller Seeley 6:12 PM
good night all from Rexall, and Laura I will talk to you soon! OH YEAH about the suicide girl!
Laura Leibowitz 6:13 PM
Kathy - Sounds good. Glad you could join us!
Steve Archer 6:13 PM
Yeah, it’s a little lighter without trying to inject “dramatic moments” that sink a lot of feature-length comedies.
Laura Leibowitz 6:13 PM
BTW…I’m still open to chatting about the show if anyone has anything they’d like to say.
And any requests for next month?
Archer - Excellent point.
Steve Archer 6:14 PM
No special requests here, I’ll just try to make the chat!
Laura Leibowitz 6:14 PM
That would be great. You have been missed.
We’ll do failed Jell-O flavors if you are able to make it…
R.Hookie 6:15 PM
How about another “hour-show” since a special is coffee ….
Laura Leibowitz 6:15 PM
OK…I’ll see what I’ve got in that length
Steve Archer 6:15 PM
Haha. Just have goofy work schedule and weird things interfering. Will try to improve attendance.
Laura Leibowitz 6:15 PM
Or we can screen “Medicine Man” and boo-hiss at it…
James Semmelroth Darnell 6:15 PM
One of the ‘specials' would be fun
R.Hookie 6:16 PM
That might be fun
Laura Leibowitz 6:16 PM
Could do that…
R.Hookie 6:16 PM
Or Meanest Man?
Laura Leibowitz 6:16 PM
Jack Benny’s New Look is a perpetual fave of mine…
Steve Archer 6:16 PM
All options sound good to me. Night all!
R.Hookie 6:16 PM
Good night Steve
Laura Leibowitz 6:16 PM
OK, sounds good. Thanks for stopping, and see you next month!
Good night John Boy
R.Hookie 6:17 PM
Good night folks!
Tom Vorce 6:17 PM
Those all sound good to me. Goodnight folks!
James Semmelroth Darnell 6:18 PM
Goodnight Joanie!
