i was pleased as punch to see Bnewhart play a scientist in the "Big Bang" series.
Avatar 1:29pm geezerette:

The late 50s were a very exciting time in the arts. You wouldn't think so,you know?
  1:30pm jan:

Hi Charlie- I had a worker here making noise and did not hear you mention your loss until later.
This radio friend sends his condolences and thanks that you still came and entertained us even during your sorrow.
Avatar 1:30pm geezerette:

LOVE Arthur Alexander.
Avatar 1:31pm annie:

it was the tme BEFORE political correctness, my favorite TEEVEe-watching time. Dobey Gillis as pretty controversial, really
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:32pm Rich in Washington:

what I used to say about my show: Now with extra vaganza.
  1:36pm frenchee:

Good to finally have a chance to listen to NUTHIN
Avatar 1:37pm geezerette:

annie,have you seen "Time for Beany",with Stan Freeberg and Daws Butler? The original Beany & Cecil as puppets;there's a great DVD of it. Outrageous political humor . There's a story that Albert Einstein would leave meetings to watch it and come back when it was over.
  1:38pm frenchee:

@geezerette: wish I could pull an Einstein and go listen to Charlie instead of meet meeet meet
Avatar 1:38pm annie:

wow!!! i have to try to find that, geezerette!. i loved beany and cecil
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:39pm Charlie:

hey there, frenchee!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:39pm Charlie:

Rich -- that's a good one.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:39pm Webhamster Henry:

I wonder if there individual voice tracks for te Swingles?
  1:39pm Listening Out There:

The Swingle Singers, o' course...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:40pm Uncle Michael:

I'm getting a Swingle tingle.
Avatar 1:41pm geezerette:

hahaha!!:) good luck frenchee!

annie,hope you do. It might be available on netflix,that's how I saw it. Not on streaming though.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:41pm Charlie:

Hi Jan -- good to see you:)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:43pm Charlie:

geezerette -- repressive times politically often produce some pretty subversive art...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:43pm Charlie:

hey there, Uncle Michael!
Avatar 1:47pm geezerette:

Charlie,keep looking for that now but how can Trump or tea party even be satirized when they are self-satirizing? Absurd but not funny.
Good point though.
Avatar 1:47pm geezerette:

(love Flying Lizards :)

Charlie, has your avatar met Bryce's avatar?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:50pm Charlie:

There was just some kind of major power surge in my house, knocked out the power in my music room. Not sure I'll be able to get back on the air before 2pm :( Will try to fix now.
  1:50pm Ike:

Yeah, seems like reg. GTDR now....
Avatar 1:51pm geezerette:

fingers crossed!
Avatar 1:51pm βrian:

I've noticed that sometimes when there's a hiccup, the stream will change to another and stay there. But if I stop and reconnect, it's back to normal.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:53pm listener james from westwood:

Happy to have heard what we did hear, if the glitch extends.
