Whenever there was trouble, they were there on the double.

Hmmm. 3-2-1 Contact is foreign to me. Thank you for clearing that up.

he was the guy who started the show by putting out a bunch of tiny chairs for us to sit in, right?

dangerous road, like his viewers ending up in jail a high percentage of time?

I love 3-2-1 contact and I love ZOOM

My older kid loves ZOOM but it does not have the same panache as when I was young.

Are you pulling the wool over our eyes about the whole Harvard thing? Or is it a subtle and intentional misdirection. If the former, I say "Kudos to you!" If the latter, I say "Bravo, and keep up the good work, old chap!"

The Harvard Gay/Lesbian Society never accepted the "go to school in Boston" thing. Is this guy a sweeper?

No, that's the Friendly Giant.

Mr. Dressup had the Tickle Trunk.

Did you have Hodge Podge Lodge?

I hated Hodge Podge Lodge. But it was what was on after Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers and the Electric Company. If dad was running late for dinner, we were stuck with Hodge Podge Lodge.

Is playing sweeper a gay thing? How do you rank the positions from a straightness perspective? Is stopper more or less gay than sweeper? What about striker?

Anyway, as of today, I am officially suspicious about the Harvard thing. FYI.

Among my long list of TV credits, there was once an appearance on ZOOM.

(Write ZOOM. Z-double O- M, Box 321, Boston Mass Oh Two One Three Four. Send it to ZOOM!)

Harvard is nice.

One of my sisters and I were thrift store shopping this weekend, and she came out of the dressing room wearing what instantly reminded me of Jane Fonda's wardrobe in Nine to Five.

She's not sure if that's what she's going to do for Halloween, but it's an idea. (Her hair, at the least, leans more towards Lily Tomlin than Jane Fonda, so if it happens, someone else gets to be Judy. Violet was cooler, anyways.)

It shouldn't be too hard to find a Dolly Parton and a Jane Fonda to complete the trio. How hard can it be to find someone to truss up and ball gag to be Dabney Coleman? I think it's an inspired costume. Bonus: it has a theme song!

I do not recall it. But we didn't have cable growing up and if you had cable, you got more access to the US networks, so others in Canada may have been able to see it.

str8 says Street Legal was a non-show. He is dead to me regarding TV. Canadian self-hate, that's what he has.
