By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Monkey Business (Cary Grant, Marilyn Monroe and Ginger Roger, and the Marx Brothers!), Bringing Up Baby (Cary Grant and A young beautiful Katherine Hepburn), His Gal Friday, (Cary and Rosalind Russell), People will Talk ( Cary and Jean Crain), My favorite Wife (Cary and Irene Dunne) and Topper (Cary and Constance Bennett) I have been a Cary Grant fan my entire life. These are just some of his comedies. There are many more and some dramas.
Oh how I liked my old VHS player, pop in the tape and up it came onto the TV. So very simple :)
Ah, those were the days (All in the Family?) ...
Love Astaire and Rogers. I have DVDs of all their movies. Gay Divorce is one of my faves of theirs.
'What's Up Doc?' - Ryan O'Neal and Barbra Streisand made a great couple, too. Plus you get the underrated Madeleine Khan (sp?).
Back in the late 1970s, The Times went on strike. How can I explain..? It felt as though Big Ben had fallen down. The *Times*??? On *strike*??? No Times????? Aaaarrrgggh the end of the world is nigh etc etc etc.
It was first published in 1785. The idea of not having The Times to read over breakfast was unthinkable.
The strike dragged on. The nation despaired, but then got resigned and read something else instead (though that still left the problem of whom to write to when you needed to protest about a public issue).
After many weeks? Months? Anyway. After some considerable time, some journalists got together and put out a spoof edition called "⁁Not The Times" with the Not inserted as superscript above the masthead.
A couple of seasons after that, four young comedians - Rowan Atkinson, Pamela Stephenson, Griff Rhys-Jones and Mel Smith - came out with a sketch show called Not The Nine O' Clock News.
Mel Smith is sadly no longer with us. Pamela Stephenson is a respected psychotherapist who is married to Billy Connolly. The memory of her version of Olivia Newton-John's hit song "Physical" - retitled "Typical" - still makes me snicker and I haven't seen it for over thirty years.
And The Times, which started the fashion, was bought by Rupert Murdoch and that was when the UK realised that our handcart had at last reached H*ll.
If you can find "Alien Warning broadcast on TV' or the sketch about welcome to the afterlife, you'll see Rowan Atkinson in his salad days and probably laugh quite a lot.
Counting on you to keep this conversation going, because I have NO IDEA what you are talking about.
"NOT the Nine O'clock news" -just the title sounds like something I would have liked., but I never heard of it.
I was trying to sound neutral, but I give up: who the heck are the millions who are paying to see Mr Bean? I find it uniformly, embarrassingly dreadful - but the records show that it is a global success. I can only assume they adore it in countries where they have absolutely nothing to laugh about. Kyrgyzstan and Malawi, maybe?
I hope I'm not about to get posts from offended Malawian and Kyrgyzstani forum members...
When Harry met Sally
The Devil Wears Prada
and double that for Birdcage ( either version)
Also any episode of the TV situation comedy Frasier.
The above show is on reruns.
b) no, please no
c) groaned more than laughed, not my kind of humour I'm afraid
Thinking about Mr Bean, have you
a) heard of him
b) intentionally watched him
c) laughed much?
I'm afraid I can still be heard in changing rooms telling myself "Ai'm not fath, Ai'm big-boned."
The SEVEN LITTLE FOYS from 1958. It's a musical with Bob Hope and a lot of singing kids.
How The West Was Won.
The Music Man
Hello Dolly
I just spent ten minutes looking for a well-founded list of top ten musicals of all time - hopeless. If you go by box office returns, with the exception of Grease, they're all from the last decade or two purely because of inflation and population increase. It is of course difficult to get data for how many people have actually seen something, ever. And all of the pundits' recommendations are either terribly partisan, or are then challenged by hundreds of pages of protests from followers.
You could go back to the Oscar winners and nominees from the decades in question - forties, fifties, sixties, seventies.
Do watch out for odd reactions, by the way. My mother got horribly distressed by not only West Side Story (which she loved so much she dragged me to see it on stage when I was about twelve) but also Bugsy Malone, for crying out loud. But she used to sit in perfect content watching Midsomer Murders reruns day after day. Maybe nothing can be really scary if it's got John Nettles in it.
