I love House, that guy is my kind of man. I watch it every week and still can't remember his name, I have such a hard time remembering names.

This last week I had to work Tues. night so missed it - I was so PO'd, so now I look forward to the reruns. FOX doesn't do marathons does it? Just started watching this season after a work schedule change gave me Tues night off so missed the first season. I love this show and his not-so-professional bedside manner. Glad to have another House fan on board. I would even give up Stot for House, LOL.

kees-lady,

I think we talked about HOUSE, MD sometime ago--and then, of course Hugh Laurie was nominated for an Emmy as best actor in a dramatic series (but sadly did not win). Laurie is simply outstanding as HOUSE, MD--and his range: from "Stewart Little" and "The Flight of The Phoenix" feature films to HOUSE (the TV series) is very impressive as well.

You mentioned "Diagnosis: Murder" as being a good, family series. Did you see that Dick Van Dyke is once again (how old is he anyway?) returning to TV--this time as a unversity professor who solves crimes in "Murder 101," on the new revolving HALLMARK CHANNEL Mystery Wheel of made-for-cable TV movie franchises ("Mystery Woman" and "Jane Doe" are returning, but "McBride is not.) starting in January 2006 (on cable's The Hallmark Channel)??

Hi Bubba here, I love McBride.

MonkFanToo--
I believe Dick Van Dyke is in his late 70's.
Did you know that he was born in Danville, Illinois?

Yes, Monk is a good family show, but I personally find some of the murders pretty creepy. I saw Mr. Monk gets drunk last week and I couldn't watch the intro! It was scary! The other really gross one I remember is the one where the guy chainsawed the girl. I think that was Mr. Monk gets Fired. Although at least they didn't actually show it.

The absolute best thing about Monk?
1.Tony
2. Traylor
3. Ted
4. Jason
5. all the writers

And finally the best thing about Monk is that it exists! And we are lucky enough to see it.

Hi Bubba here,

The absolute best thing about Monk?
1. Tony Shalhoub
2. Bitty Schram
3. Ted Levine (He's one of my favorites)
4. Jason Gray Stanford
5. Traylor Howard (Where I won't be accused of leaving anyone out)

Lee, thanks for the Heads Up. I hadn't seen that Dick is returning to the small screen - I so seldom watch The Hallmark Channel, well, I watch a lot of the movies but not much more than that. I'll start paying better attention and watch for those series/programs. Dick is such a find actor and his dancing skills equal only those of Buddy Ebsen, those loose hips that don't seem attached to any other part of his body, LOL. I loved the music box scene in---dang, can't remember anything except chim chim charee. Another senior moment.

We did talk about HOUSE awhile back, right after I discovered it for the first or second episode. Try to make a real effort to be home right after work so I can watch - no stopping off for errands, etc., getting the dogs out, fed, out again but during commercials I play ball with Jetz 'cause shelties have this continuous need to MOVE - so I miss a lot of what happens during commercials and without a man in the house flipping channels during the commercials I miss a lot of other things too, on TV FGS! And I did watch the Emmies and saw Hugh Laurie was nominated but didn't win. Too bad. Haven't seen Flight of the Phoenix, intended to several times when I still had the Movie Channels but missed it each time.

Catch ya later,

ClippoPuppet,

I knew you would remember the name....my kids and I watched that movies all the time and the music box scene fascinated me...it was done sooo life-like, you could almost believe they were wooden dolls and puppets.

I babysat for my boss's kids once in awhile, and they watched Chitty over and over again! I hadn't remembered alot about it, but that was the one scene I did still remember - the music boxes.

Hi Bubba here, agreed.

That was probably the best scene in the whole movie. I wish I had a clip of just that part, I loved it that much.

Do you remember the Dick Van Dyke Show, not the sitcom but his one hour comedy hour with Andy Kaufman...who later went on to play in 'Taxi'? He was so good as the little foreign man and then his Elvis impersonation. He took his foreign character to Taxi and made it memorable.

Hi Bubba here, I love Andy Kaufman. I can sound just like him. Thank you very much. (Like Kaufman)

Andy was really great and very creative, he did a lot of great comedy-type things, remember "Pop! Goes the Weasel?" with his little 45 rpm record player?

Too bad he got into drugs and became nutso at the end of his career. A waste of great talent.

Hi Bubba here, yes I remeber that. I rember the wrestling and Tony Clifton.

i agrue with you did you see the eposide when monk ha to take care of that child? it was great also the kid even helped him solve the case !!

What I especially like is that MONK appeals not only to people with OCD or related problems but it also appeals to those who don't and helps educate the public about OCD and related problems.

The other thing I really like is that it shows people with OCD or related problems that with a little help or support YOU CAN function in the world and not to be afraid to try.
