PUNCHY PLAYERS IS BACK!!!!

I'm so glad! I thought they were dead.

They use such an old image of Matthew Broderick, he was still cute.

The energy was a little off - but basically it was just like in the glory days.

Is someone different doing the animation?

No, Chris Tassin has always done the animations.

OP I did one of these when I saw it

They used such an old image of Judy Garland, she was alive.

Who is the interviewer?

You can finally stop hitting the Refresh button, OP.

They MUST be DLers. Who knows them??

R10, I know one of them. They said you all were too catty and mean.

LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUV !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hoooray! Thanks, OP!!!

When they do Ann Miller, “Judeh? Mar carn, Miss Judeh, Queen of Karnels. Mar carn!”

Wish it was a little funnier

It's nice to seem them back, but they all seemed to be a little slow on the uptake. I hope if they do more they soon get their groove back.

SEE them back

It didn't have quite the spark of the old ones, and the animation seemed more basic, but it was fun just the same. Who else but these two would think, "We should have Marvin Kaplan make an appearance."

Is Liza a retired character now?

I know R19. I miss Liza and her poor nutritional choices and her hoodlum streak.

Totally fab. Missed them. A hoot.

Aunt Bee says she's at Pride "for Goob-ah and Gom-ah!" Was George "Goober" Lindsey gay? I thought he was married with two kids.

I got the push notification and about fell over. I almost unsubscribed since they hadn’t posted anything in several years.

[quote] Was George "Goober" Lindsey gay? I thought he was married with two kids.

George Lindsey wasn't gay. Maybe Goober was. Or Aunt Bee had gotten into the cooking sherry.

George Lindsey was married (no kids), but he got his start as a Broadway chorus boy in musicals directed by Josh Logan, so there was probably some extensive "dabbling" in his background.

He was married and had two kids.

Sadly this doesn't produce laughs.

Are the Judycast Judy and the Punchy Players Judy voiced by the same person?

They are great.. Maybe not as funny as some of the earlier ones, mostly the ones with Lucy. I smiled, didn't laugh.

[Quote] I smiled, didn't laugh.

Not a rare occurrence for you, I'd wager.

Ohhh...Bitchee! R30 Yawn.

Insert equally tedious response here:

I thought it was a subtle outing of Mathew.

I always felt a certain affinity with Matthew

[quote]I always felt a certain affinity with Matthew

Me, too.

r33 Not just because you were both in the legitimate theater, I gather.

Who is Matthew? You don't mean the Loon, do you?

Matthew Jessica Parker.

R28, Bill Phair does Judy Cast. Chris Tassin and Jeff Marquis do Punchy Players.

r35

No, that would be Dorothy Kilgallen. We need another "What's My Line" thread as people forget, faster than Arlene Francis in later life.

I think both Dorothy and Arlene often referred to the legitimate theater

Also, Matthew and Laura and to a certain extent Arlene all have something in common...

[quote]I think both Dorothy and Arlene often referred to the legitimate theater

And Arlene, unlike Dorothy, but like Matthew, was actually IN the legitimate theater.

[quote]I think both Dorothy and Arlene often referred to the legitimate theater

That's my memory, also, and I've watched some of the 1950s episodes recently.

Arlene definitely referred to "legitimate theatre," much more often than Dorothy did.

Nothing is better than vaudeville!

[quote] I think both Dorothy and Arlene often referred to the legitimate theater

A friend of mine who devoutly watches the re-runs swears Dorothy never once uses this phrase on the show--it is solely an Arlene thing.

[quote]A friend of mine who devoutly watches the re-runs swears Dorothy never once uses this phrase on the show--it is solely an Arlene thing.

Let's not forget that, although, unlike Arlene, Dorothy never appeared in the legitimate theater, she did write about it. She was the Voice of Broadway!

CARN!

No Dorothy was the one. Arlene was to homespun to make a deal out of it.

I like it when Arlene said to the guest, "You said it's poultry served often, so it can't be turkey" and Dorothy interrupts saying, "We have turkey at my house all the time," and Arlene says "Yeah but you're rich."

[quote]I thought they were dead.

No such luck.

Punch them until they're funny.

Fuck off, r51. They just need to work their way back to glory, and their first new attempt is very good.

At their height, they were hysterically funny and pleased hundreds of gays. I doubt you've ever pleased even one.

[Quote] pleased hundreds of gays.

Amateurs.

I wanna hit R51 with a POT!
