At any rate, to get the shot, they had to go to the zoo where the lion cub lived and re-build the needed set in the enclosure where the cub lived. For what amounts to a 30-second bit in the finished show. The cub,bu the way, was absolutely adorable . . .Matt Pattonhttp:mpatton1962.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-13694605961751381082010-12-07T12:49:03.353-08:002010-12-07T12:49:03.353-08:00The pic showed Moose near the Seattle Post-Intelli...The pic showed Moose near the <i>Seattle Post-Intelligencer,</i> which expired some years after the dog did.

I believe you discussed it once so if so, could you re-state it anew or reprint it, but if you didn't could you discuss that episode and script?<br />thanksA_Homernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-68528540940822978662010-12-06T07:33:49.682-08:002010-12-06T07:33:49.682-08:00I think you meant the audience went ape shit.I think you meant the audience went ape shit.lazysamoanhttp://twitter.com/lazysamoannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-54981800139919503162010-12-05T18:00:23.591-08:002010-12-05T18:00:23.591-08:00A great line for Wendy to come up with off the top...A great line for Wendy to come up with off the top of her head as Nina would have been "If you'd done that last night, we'd probably be going out again."Tom Quigleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959628996361620134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-54819085279417358692010-12-05T13:34:09.259-08:002010-12-05T13:34:09.259-08:00Off topic, but I think Ken should know that this b...Off topic, but I think Ken should know that this blog is banned by the Halifax Airport wi-fi.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-89883706631621201842010-12-05T11:54:32.015-08:002010-12-05T11:54:32.015-08:00Posting comments like that would be a first answer...Posting comments like that would be a first answer to your last question.Jeff Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17036385599454732555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-31634975071359264512010-12-05T10:07:24.368-08:002010-12-05T10:07:24.368-08:00Ken - I know its not Friday, but I'm confused ...Ken - I know its not Friday, but I'm confused and hoping you'd be willing to offer some sage advice.<br /><br />Started in the biz at age 10; 15yrs+ as a commercial art director; former top story analyst for Fine Line; un-produced, but sold 3 screenplays to EUE/Screen Gems and Jeff Cooney films. <br /><br />Now I'm partnered with an Oscar-win producer on my new project, a unique TV horror-comedy series, but he's 'going out' with it one contact at a time, a slow-go strategy that has me weeks away from homelessness.<br /><br />Meanwhile, I still can't find an agent/manager/etc willing to even read me.<br /><br />Any idea what I'm doing wrong?frank1569https://www.blogger.com/profile/10125628219505031584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-71399005017677469232010-12-05T08:09:35.965-08:002010-12-05T08:09:35.965-08:00"I call him 'Eddie Spaghetti'"

I loved the dog although I think Jack (Parson) Russells are a little nuts and was happy to see him get his due.<br /><br />Wendie Malick is terrific. I find that when new characters enter a series in the show's late stage it is just prolonging the inevitable. But Wendie had the opposite effect on "Frasier." She re-energized the show and helped the series go out with spirit. And she had sensational chemistry with John Mahoney.LinGinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05161369969301421756noreply@blogger.com
