TV on TV!

Part 2 ~ The TV Shows of the Lucyverse

Although it may seem redundant, the worlds created by Lucille Ball on radio and television frequently created and mentioned other TV shows! Here are a few from “The Lucy Show” (1962-1968).

“Lucy Puts Up a TV Antenna” (1962)

When Lucy's TV set doesn't work, she discovers that the antenna has blown off the roof. Refusing to spend extra money to have one professionally installed, she talks Viv into helping her replace it. As the episode opens, Sherman and Jerry are excited that the All-American Football Team is going to be on TV. When the reception is poor, Lucy engages in the old practice of banging on the side of the set, something she claims she learned from her late husband.

LUCY: “What did we do before television?” VIV: “We used to hit the radio.”

With Lucy on the roof, Viv yells up the chimney, “I got carried away watching Art Linkletter. Come on down Lucy. He's about to go through a lady's purse.” “The Linkletter Show” (also known as “Art Linkletter's House Party”) was seen on CBS from 1952 to 1970. Lucille Ball appeared on the show in February 1965.

“Lucy and Viv Put in a Shower” (1963)

“Where’s Lloyd Bridges when you need him?” ~ Lucy Carmichael

Bridges starred “Sea Hunt” from 1958 to 1961, a series about a scuba diver which featured extensive underwater filming, so much so that his name become synonymous with underwater adventures. Bridges was seen in all 155 episodes of the CBS series. He was also mentioned in the same context in “Lucy Buys a Boat” (1963). Lucy says she bought the boat with the hull in the water so she didn’t notice the poor shape it was in. She adds that she didn’t have Lloyd Bridges with her at the time!

“Lucy’s Sister Pays a Visit” (1963)

Lucy’s son’s lunchbox features images from the television western “Lawman,” which ran on ABC from 1958-1962. A “Lawman” lunchbox is now part of the collection of the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC. The lunchbox shows up again in “Vivian Sues Lucy” (1963).

“Lucy Gets Locked in the Vault” (1963)

Danfield TV is on the scene when Lucy and Mr. Mooney finally get out of the vault.

“Lucy and the Safe Cracker” (1963)

Demonstrating how she got locked in the vault for Larry McAdoo (William Woodeson) of Danfield TV, Lucy accidentally locks Mr. Mooney back in the bank vault again! Taking advantage of the air time, Lucy gets in a commercial for Grandma’s Candy Shop, owned by the safecracker (Jay Novello).

“Lucy and the Plumber” (1964)

Lucy and her plumber (Jack Benny) appear on the television program “Talent Discoverer's Show”.

Hosted by Greg Gregory (Willard Waterman), the show is sponsored by Kiddie Cookies, baked beans, and varnish!

Lucy was already on the show once, so this time she disguises herself as Lucretia Carmucci, the talent discoverer of the title, presenting her plumber Harry Tuttle, who plays an arrangement of Donizetti on the violin.

“Lucy Meets Danny Kaye” (1964)

Lucy writes away for tickets to “The Danny Kaye Show” but is turned down.

Kaye offers to give her a walk-on role in the telecast – but Lucy manages to steal the spotlight anyway. In 1962 and 1964 Lucille Ball guest-starred on Kaye’s CBS TV program “The Danny Kaye Show.”

Kaye telephones Bill Paley to see if he has any spare tickets to give Lucy. William S. Paley (1901-90), was the chief executive who built the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) from a small radio network into one of the foremost radio and television network operations in the United States.

“Lucy and the Beauty Doctor” (1965)

When Lucy hears about a $25 beauty treatment, she tells Mr. Mooney the money is for a doctor. When the treatment turns out to be a hidden camera show named “Boiling Point”, Lucy must do whatever she can to stop it from airing and revealing her secret to Mr. Mooney.

“Boiling Point” hosted by Dick Patterson is modeled loosely on “Candid Camera,” a TV show that started in 1948 and continues (in some form) to this day. Its heyday was from 1960 to 1967, when it was a ratings winner for CBS on Sundays at 10pm.

“Lucy in the Music World” (1965)

When Lucy takes a job in a music producer's office, she wangles her new neighbor Mel Tinker (Mel Torme) into a gig on the musical variety television show “Wing Ding”.

“Wing Ding” is hosted by Reb Foster and presents The Six Bare Feet, The Torch Bearers, The DDTs, and The Tear Ducts (Lucy and Mel) singing the plaintive ballad "My Trousseau Just Lies on the Shelf.”

“Lucy Helps Danny Thomas” (1965)

When Mr. Mooney hires Lucy to get some important papers signed at a TV studio, she finds herself dancing on Danny Thomas's TV special instead!

Although this is not a real TV program, Thomas did host “The Danny Thomas Hour” for 22 episodes in 1967. Thomas was a Desilu regular, appearing in “Make Room for Daddy” (later “The Danny Thomas Show”) as well as doing a cross-over episode with “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour”.

“Lucy and Art Linkletter” (1966)

Lucy is picked from Art Linkletter's studio audience and challenged not to utter a sound for 24 hours to win $200. In January 1966, CBS aired new episodes of “Art Linkletter’s House Party” daily at 2:30pm while “I Love Lucy” was in reruns at 10:30am.

During the 24 hours, Linkletter arranges for a one-armed man to burst into Lucy's apartment waving a gun and say that a guy has been chasing him for three years. This is a reference to the hit ABC series “The Fugitive” (1963-67) on which David Janssen was on the trail of a one-armed man who killed his wife. Three weeks after this episode of “The Lucy Show” was filmed, Doris Singleton (Ruth Cosgrove on “Lucy and Art Linkletter”) guest-starred on “The Fugitive.” The series was a Quinn Martin Production. Quinn Martin was a producer at Desilu and also married Madelyn Pugh, one of Lucille Ball’s longest lasting writers.

“Lucy and the Soap Opera” (1966)

Lucy disguises herself in a number of outrageous get-ups to gain access to the reclusive writer of “Camden Cove,” her favorite soap opera, to learn how the show will turn out.

Camden Cove is described at “the typical American town” so it was probably inspired by “Peyton Place,” a prime-time soap opera which aired on ABC from 1964 to 1969. Like “Camden Cove,” it aired three nights a week and dealt with the tangled relationships found in a small American town. Danfield was compared to Peyton Place in “Lucy and Joan” (1965).

“Lucy Goes to a Hollywood Premiere” (1966)

LUCY (to Edwards): “Oh, doctor! Oh, doctor!”

Lucy disguises herself as an usher to meet celebrities. On the reception line, she asks Vince Edwards for his autograph. Vincent Edwards (1928-96) was probably best known as the title character on ABC TV’s “Ben Casey” (1961-66) which was filmed on the Desilu lot. A new episode of “Ben Casey” aired on ABC at 10pm on the night this episode of “The Lucy Show” premiered. It was directed by Marc Daniels, one of the directors of “I Love Lucy” and Jesse Wayne was the stunt coordinator, as he was for “The Lucy Show.”

“Lucy and Bob Crane” (1966)

Crane was best known as the clever Colonel Hogan in the CBS POW camp sitcom “Hogan's Heroes” (1965-1971), which was filmed at Desilu Studios.

In the episode, Crane is making a World War One film. A one-line gag features an appearance by John Banner, who played Sergeant Schultz on “Hogan’s Heroes”. He utters his famous catch-phrase from the sitcom.

SCHULTZ: “I know nothing!” CRANE: “Schultz! You're in the wrong war!”

Oscar Beregi plays Wolfgang Schmidt the director of the film. Beregi did two episodes of “Hogan's Heroes.” He was probably cast here for his resemblance to Werner Klemperer, who played Colonel Klink on “Hogan’s Heroes” who also wore a monocle.

“Lucy the Robot” (1966)

Jay North plays Mr. Mooney’s spoiled brat nephew Wendell. North was best known as the star of “Dennis the Menace” (1959-1963). During the show's final season, North played opposite Gale Gordon (Mr. Mooney) as John Wilson.

“You will keep that MENACE subdued for the next eight days!” ~ Mr. Mooney to Lucy about Wendell

“Dennis the Menace” also included a character named Theodore Mooney!

“Lucy the Gun Moll” (1966)

RUSTY: “So ya see, no one is really untouchable!”

The episode is a parody of “The Untouchables” (one of Desilu’s biggest hits) starring most of the original cast. Lucy plays a gun moll named Rusty. Robert Stack (who originally played Elliott Ness), agreed to appear as long as the character names were not the same as the original. Stack was joined by Walter Winchell, Bruce Gordon, and Steve London.

“The Untouchables” started out as a two-part pilot episode of “Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse” in April 1959. The show was introduced by Desi Arnaz and starred Robert Stack and the voice of Walter Winchell, both of whom were cast in the series, which began in October 1959 on CBS. The final episode was aired in May 1963.

“Lucy Puts Main Street on the Map” (1967)

To bring attention to the plight of the town of Bancroft, Lucy stages a spectacle on Main Street, calling all the television news programs to witness the event.

Dan McGowan (Dan Rowan) is a TV reporter with the National News Service.

“Lucy Meets Sheldon Leonard” (1967)

Mr. Mooney allows TV producer Sheldon Leonard to film a hold-up scene at the bank. Lucy thinks he is really a gangster and is determined to foil his robbery.

Over the telephone, Mr. Cheever tells Mr. Mooney that Sheldon Leonard produced “The Danny Thomas Show,” “Dick Van Dyke” and “I Spy.” Leonard himself adds “Andy Griffith” and “Gomer Pyle” to his credits. All of these shows were filmed at Desilu Studios.

The end of the episode Leonard says:

“I suddenly got this idea for a new television series. It would be about this kooky red headed girl. She works in a bank and she gets into all sorts of impossible situations and... forget it. Nobody would ever believe it.”

“Lucy Helps Ken Berry” (1968)

A dance instructor (Ken Berry) is about to default on his loan until Lucy arranges for him to be on “Ralph Story’s Los Angeles”, a local television show.

Ralph Story was well known in the Los Angeles area as a local TV personality as host of “Ralph Story’s Los Angeles” from 1963 until the late 1970s.

Ken and the his students perform “Steppin’ Out With My Baby” by Irving Berlin. For the finale, everyone sings “Pick Yourself Up” by Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields.

Stay Tuned for Part 3! Same Time, Same Station!

Coding Week 1: Sidescrollers

This genre is defined by several conventions, including:

The camera views the characters from the side.

The camera "scrolls" left and right with the action.

The game world is a large area to accommodate for the camera.

youtube

Celeste is a 2018 platformer focusing around Madeline, a young woman who attempts to climb Mount Celeste on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, in an effort to overcome her anxiety, depression, and self-doubt. Along the way, she meets a colorful cast of characters, including "Badeline", a personification of her various mental issues who aims to stop Madeline. It sits at Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam, with a 97% approval rate.

The game uses very simple mechanics: Madeline can run, jump, climb walls for a limited time, and perform a mid-air dash in one of eight directions - the dash cannot be performed again until Madeline either touches a green crystal or lands on solid ground, indicated by her hair changing colour to blue. Different levels also use various gimmicks - for example, the ruined city (seen in the video above) features blocks that move whenever the player dashes.

The level design is very good, with gimmicks combined in ways that test the player's knowledge of the game mechanics and their skill with platforming. Gimmicks are introduced in simple, easy-to-clear rooms, then gradually combined to create difficult platforming challenges which test the player's mettle. Additionally, while the platforming is tough and brutal, the game is also very forgiving: a variety of assist settings allow you to customize the experience if you are feeling stressed, and death is a slap on the wrist: you are sent back to the start of the room within seconds, throwing you right back into the action.

Like many other indie games, Celeste features beautiful pixel art that creates an atmospheric and stunning environment, combined with HD assets and character art for dialogue and menus. The pairing works surprisingly well and is very pretty to look at.

youtube

Super Mario Bros. is perhaps THE sidescroller. The original NES game in 1985 helped to revitalize the gaming industry following the great arcade crash, and popularized the entire sidescroller genre. The fat Italian plumber has gone on to become the icon of not just Nintendo, but perhaps all of gaming.

In this blog, we will be focusing on the New Super Mario Bros. series, specifically 2019's New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, a compiled HD remaster of New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U, both released for the Wii U in 2012 and 2013 respectively. Like most Mario games, there isn't really a serious plot - Bowser has kicked Mario and friends out of Peach's Castle and claimed it for himself, transforming the surroundings into a volcanic landscape. Go and save Peach (AGAIN).

Mario games have always been simple in design: navigate to the end of the level and lower the Bowser flag. Along the way, you run into various different enemies, collect power-ups to regain hit points and unlock new abilities, and search for the three hidden star coins (although the latter was added in the NSMB games). The game uses limited lives, regained through earning enough points/coins or collecting 1-Up Mushrooms: lose them all, and its a game over and an additional Continue stamp on your profile.

The game features tight and precise controls (although not as precise as Celeste), with a variety of enemies, gimmicks, and power-ups that vary as you trek across the Mushroom Kingdom, from the classic Super Mushroom and Fire Flower, to the game's newest power-up, the Super Acorn, which gives Mario a flying squirrel suit that lets him glide across the landscape. Yoshi also returns, and this time you can babysit his children: the Purple Baby Yoshi inflates like a balloon to let you hover across gaps, while the Yellow Baby Yoshi emits bright light that illuminates dark ghost houses.

Overall, the game is very polished and works well, although it has long been criticized for lack of innovation. New Super Mario Bros. games are notorious for lack of innovation, feeling almost identical every time with the exception of new power-ups. New Super Mario Bros. Wii did add 4-person multiplayer, and New Super Mario Bros. 2 was focused around collecting coins and accumulating a large amount, but U only added the infrequent Baby Yoshis. Nintendo appears to have listened to the criticism, with the latest 2D Mario game, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, featuring an all-new artstyle and allowing for more variety and gimmicks using the Wonder Flower.

youtube

Sonic the Hedgehog. A storied franchise with a notorious yet dedicated fanbase, home to some of the best games of all time, yet also some of the worst (Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic '06). But that's another story. This blog post will look at Sonic Mania, one of the more better-received games that took a step back to celebrate a time when SEGA were a legitimate contender in the console wars.

Sonic games revolve around speed - at least, usually - and Mania is no different. It's all about going fast, collecting rings, scrambling to collect said rings when you inevitably smack into something and drop them all, rolling through abnormally curved terrain, and saving cute animals. Along the way, you search for hidden giant rings and enter the special stages to gather all seven Chaos Emeralds, in order to both get the true ending and unlock a handy super transformation that renders Sonic (almost) invulnerable. The player can choose from Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, each with their own unique abilities (Sonic's drop dash, Tails' flight, Knuckles' gliding and climbing)

The game features enhanced 16-bit pixel art from the sprites used in the classic SEGA Genesis games, and the levels consist of classic Sonic worlds - Green Hill, Chemical Plant, and so on - each with their own gimmicks and enemies, as well as unique boss fights and Eggman constantly forgetting that attempting to harness the latest eldritch abomination's power will always backfire horrendously.

Finding a Licensed Plumber in Washington, DC: Your Ultimate Guide

When plumbing issues arise, finding a reliable and licensed plumber is crucial, especially in bustling metropolitan areas like Washington, DC. Whether it's a leaky faucet, a broken pipe, or a complete plumbing overhaul, a licensed plumber ensures the job is done right the first time. This guide will walk you through the importance of hiring a licensed plumber Washington, DC., what to look for, and how to find the best professionals.

Why Hire a Licensed Plumber?

Expertise and Training

Licensed plumbers undergo extensive training and must pass rigorous exams to ensure they are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to tackle various plumbing problems. This training covers everything from local building codes to advanced plumbing techniques.

Compliance with Codes and Regulations

Washington, DC, like other major cities, has specific plumbing codes and regulations that must be followed. Licensed plumbers are familiar with these codes and ensure all work complies with local laws, preventing future issues and potential fines.

Insurance and Liability

Licensed plumbers are typically insured, protecting you from liability in case of accidents or damages during the job. This insurance is crucial for safeguarding your home and investment.

Quality and Reliability

A licensed plumber brings a level of professionalism and reliability that is often missing with unlicensed contractors. Their reputation and license are on the line, ensuring they deliver high-quality work to maintain their credentials.

What to Look for in a Licensed Plumber

Valid License

Always verify that the plumber has a valid license to operate in Washington, DC. You can do this by checking with the District of Columbia Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA).

Experience and Specialization

Consider the plumber's experience and whether they specialize in the type of work you need. Some plumbers focus on residential services, while others may have expertise in commercial or industrial plumbing.

Reviews and References

Look for online reviews and ask for references. A reputable plumber should have a track record of satisfied customers. Websites like Yelp, Google Reviews, and the Better Business Bureau can provide valuable insights.

Clear Pricing

A good plumber should offer transparent pricing. Avoid those who give vague estimates or refuse to provide written quotes. Clear communication about costs helps avoid unexpected expenses.

Warranty and Guarantees

Check if the plumber offers warranties or guarantees for their work. This assurance indicates confidence in their services and provides you with peace of mind.

How to Find a Licensed Plumber in Washington, DC

Online Directories

Online directories like Angie's List, HomeAdvisor, and Thumbtack can help you find licensed plumbers in Washington, DC. These platforms often include reviews and ratings, making it easier to compare options.

Local Recommendations

Ask friends, family, and neighbors for recommendations. Personal referrals can lead you to trusted professionals who have proven their expertise in your community.

Professional Associations

Organizations like the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association (PHCC) can be a valuable resource. Members of such associations are often vetted and uphold high standards of practice.

Social Media and Forums

Social media platforms and local forums can also be useful. Community groups on Facebook or neighborhood forums like Nextdoor can provide firsthand accounts of local plumbers' work.

Common Plumbing Services in Washington, DC

Emergency Repairs

From burst pipes to severe leaks, licensed plumbers handle emergency repairs swiftly to prevent further damage.

Installation and Upgrades

Whether you're remodeling your kitchen or bathroom, or need a new water heater installed, licensed plumbers ensure proper installation and compliance with all codes.

Routine Maintenance

Regular maintenance can prevent major issues down the line. Licensed plumbers offer services like drain cleaning, pipe inspections, and water heater maintenance.

Sewer and Drain Services

Professional plumbers have the tools and expertise to tackle complex sewer and drain issues, ensuring your plumbing system runs smoothly.

Finding a licensed plumber in Washington, DC, is essential for ensuring the safety and efficiency of your home's plumbing system. By considering factors like licensing, experience, reviews, pricing, and warranties, you can make an informed decision. Utilize online resources, personal recommendations, and professional associations to find a reliable plumber who can meet your needs. With the right licensed plumber, you can have peace of mind knowing your plumbing issues are in expert hands.

Problems With Q - Ian Mills & The Synoptic Problem

COMMENTARY:

A reason why Dr. Molly Worthen received her Resurrection epiphany is because her journalism led her there. The Gospel of Mark is a Roman intelligence appreciation that originated in the military journalism of the 10th Legion known variously as Quelle, which I will refer to as Q. Her story of how she moved from an authentic atheist to where she is now is a confession of journeys with the Holy Spirit. She wisely depended a great deal on N.T. Wright's commentary on Resurrection, I think she also depended upon the King James interpretation of the Greek, The original King James translation of the Greek is the Druid translation of the Greek, What the militant anti-theist of the Monty Python Harry Potter society is that Boudicca, Queen of the Battle, is the moral factor that determined Constantine's victory at the Malvern Brudge. Boudicca, Queen of Battle, is the Jean d'Arc of the Anglican confession, And it is that Druid instinct in the King James translation that confirmed her journalism even when it seemed it was crazy. All the Biblical scholarship that has been published since 1968 has been cripple by the Post Modern Historic Deconstruction of the campus radicals, on both sides, that took over the American University system after Columbia University was occupied by the leading edge of the Liberal anti-war draft dodgers, McGovern Democrats, The Conservative Pro-War draft dodgers became the Plumbers at the leading edge of the Nazification of the GOP that has become the January 6 rebellion and 2025 Project. William F. Buckley's Sharon Statement in 1960 launched the Nazification agenda of what has become all things Trump. That's the current event from the 60s that is current in the Mythos with the Campus protests, That generation has dominated the History Department of the American academe with a toxic paternalism that Molly Worthen had to overcome to escape the Plato's Cave of the Boomer Generation and emerge into the SON Light (pun intended) of the Liberation Gospel of post Boomer Food Fight Generation Z of Starship America. N.T. Wight's theology is suffused with Christology, He is a casualty from the Post Modern Historical Deconstruction paradigm shift rejection Hegel in favor of wither dialectical Idealism of Descartes and Spinoza or the dialectical Materialism of Marx. The Jesus Seminar and the Pro-Life Solo Scriptura Calvinism of Christian Nationalism are different sides of the same Marxist Dialectic, squabbling over who is superior. N.T. Wright rejects Hegel but he doesn't realize that his scholarship is a model of dialectical Synthesis, Dialectical Idealism and Dialectical Materialism are different sides of the same Christology coin. It's what defines Trump's "Head's I win, Tails, you lose" strategy for 2024, For Wright, scholarship is a dialogue, not a dialectic, And that's what Dr. Molly Worthen needed to put the Philosophy back into her Ph.D. Her confession is what the process theology of the Bible is all about, It;s the true gift of the Magi: journalism emerges directly from the Mythos Her confession is an example of how Heidegger's Dasein operated as Existential/Experiential Learning an the acquisition of Instrumental Transparency, from the Logos as Being in the World to Logos and Metaphor. If you take a Greek concordance and go through the Gospels and mark all the verses with εὐθὺς with Q, you will be able to discern the boundaries of Quelle at the time of Acts 10. Cornelius was the curator of the military intelligence archives of the 10th Legion that had captured glimpses of Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, in the equivalent of the Roman porch cameras before Jesus was arrested as well as the history of John the Baptist's success at marketing Repentance as a community organizer preparing an army for the Christ to lead, Mark 3:7 - 8 is a demographic profile of that army, who the Roman's were calling Christians at least two years before Jesus was arrested. Anyway, Molly Worthen was able to escape the toxic paternalism of the Plato's Cave of Post Modern Historic Deconstruction and stand in the Son Light Her Resurrection epiphany will turn all the historical scholarship since 1968 on its head and create a spasm of an Anglican revival of the Druid Christianity of Milvian Bridge and Boudicca, Queen of Battle. The King James interpretation has far more to do with Midsummer's Night Dream, Harry Potter and Woodstock than it ever will with The Apprentice and the 700 Club.

Kelowna Plumbers: Keeping Homes and Businesses Flowing

In Kelowna, nestled amidst the stunning landscapes of British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, the role of plumbers extends far beyond mere repairs and installations. These skilled professionals are integral to the smooth functioning of homes and businesses, ensuring that water flows reliably and plumbing systems operate seamlessly.

Kelowna, renowned for its picturesque vineyards, orchards, and lakeside vistas, presents a unique environment where plumbing plays a vital role in maintaining both residential comfort and commercial operations.
