Goodbye Elly May

And we were just watching the Twilight Zone episode she was in the night before. Titled "The eye of the beholder" where she is all bandaged up hoping the treatment made her look acceptable, and when they take them off, she is beautiful, (to us) but everyone else you have not been able to see yet are really ugly. Or as my family somehow came to call them "Gorpy". So to us it's called "The gorpys" episode. hehehehe....
Sorry to hear she's gone. She played some beloved characters.
 
Seemed like a lovely person.....and she was fun in the Hillbillies.

Ben:
That particular Twilight Zone is my favourite but I didn't realize that she was the beautiful woman in it.
 
Twilight Zone is one of my favorite classic TV shows. It's amazing to look back at how many people were on that show that later became big names in TV. Probably most notable is William Shatner. If you watch those old episodes, you will occasionally see references to towns in upstate N.Y. Rod Serling was from my neck of the woods. It was creepy growing up to hear towns around me named in those stories. Another connection I personally have is that an actor from that time shared my name. He was never very famous, but he did play the neighbor that gets killed in the episode "Monsters On Maple St."
 
Sorry to see Ellie Mae go to. It is fun to watch the old shows and see the actors early in their careers, the Twilight Zone is a great one to watch for that. In addition to more than one episode with Shatner, I think there is one that has both Shatner (Kirk) and Nimoy (Spock). Burgess Meredith was practically a regular on the show, I think there is one with Jack Klugman as well. Another fun show that had a good variety of stars in their early days is Route 66, some good episodes, just watched one with Suzanne Pleshette.

I made it a point to watch that episode on NetFlix last night (Eye of the Beholder). I had seen it before but did not realize it was Donna Douglas playing the lead.
 
So many actors, and so many "classic" tv shows, gave us so many good times. Beverly Hillbillies, Ed Sullivan, Dinah Shore, Science Fiction Theater, Carol Burnett, Twilight Zone, and on and on.

Wonder what actors and shows will be greatly missed fifty years from now.

Since about the 70's they just don't make TV like the used to. There are very few "shows" lately that hold my attention. But I suspect shows like Cheers, Taxi, Frasier, WKRP will not soon be forgotten.

Premiering this week on cable: Galavant, Broken Skull, Gary's Grocery Games, Million Dollar Princesses, The Celebrity Apprentice.

Wonder if any of them actually use real "scripts". And ... Why do I think none of them will be remembered ...
 
TV shows. Makes me wonder of my sanity at times. We are paying for over 300 channels and watch, at most, 6! We have no cable out here in the sticks, so were a slave to the satellite cos. Be nice if we could pick, choose and pay for just the channels we want, but it doesn't work that way. I've never seen so much garbage on TV than in the past couple years. My favorite show is Blue Bloods! I like their dinner table, as it's all family, no extra terrestrials being shoved down your throat! :encouragement:

Even the movies they make today, 90% of them are nothing but copies of ridicules computer games made for TV viewing. Garbage.
 
Yikes - and notice in the video that Springsteen even seems to be faking the bass guitar.

Is nothing sacred!???!!
