Double wow! I didn't recognize her either.

Quoting myself, re: Eve Plumb
You can see her on the left in this photo, it does look like her

But is she saying, “Marsha, Marsha, Marsha?!”

Yes. Now I can see it. Thanks for the pic.

Whoops! In my defense I’m delirious from the crud I got

#Xmas....

I managed to get through about 45 minutes of this one. I just didn't like all the deception going on. Too many people who had to be "in" on it. And no thought as to what will happen at the end.

I gave up.

 

[PrincessShmoo]

Well, I'm no longer receiving GAC (free viewing for November on my DISH subscription). So I'll have more time to catch the new stuff on the other channels that I had to skip.

I'm looking forward to Dolly's special tonight. I saw a pic of her and Jimmy Fallon...it was at a BBQ place closeby where she grew up on the farm. A friend and I ate there while we were driving the backroads looking for the original cabin and farm (yes, we found it!)

I watched the Lindsey Lohan movie last night, against my better judgement. It was not awful LOL. There were a few incredibly stupid scenes, but once those went by, I shockingly somewhat enjoyed the rest . I was avoiding it, because I couldn't stand Chord Overstreet on Glee. Turns out, when not playing that annoying character, he is quite charming

So far this is really really bad. I am so tempted to just turn it off but I love Dolly so I am hoping for at least some good songs to come.

Last night we watched “A Holiday Spectacular.” It was against my better judgment, only because I grew up in north Jersey, my birthday is the beginning of January and every year during Christmas vacation, my mom would bring me and a few friends to the 7 AM Christmas show. She worked, so we had to go real early. I just thought the movie couldn’t be as good as I remember the show to have been.

Boy, the scenes showing the music hall took me back, and the show portions were fabulous. The Wooden Soldiers Domino Effect, wow! I think Mom probably took me and friends from my 8th through 14th birthdays. The years were roughly 1955- 1961, not far from the time the movie was set in.

I enjoyed the story a lot, too!

“I Believe in Santa Claus” is a good one, I think. However, I also liked Pretty Paper with Willie Nelson.

I bailed and turned on Christmas on the Square instead. I didn’t even like I Believe in Santa Clause , it was too slow. But the story line was just so bad and incoherent.

Ok. Christmas on the Square was last year? I have that CD.

Two years ago. This is my third annual viewing.

Ok…during pandemic. I remember listening and doing Christmas puzzles.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've been hesitant too to watch this movie. I've been to the Radio City Christmas Spectacular a few times. I didn't want to see a movie about it that may be bad. Glad I can watch now.
