Already can't remember if we discussed Frank Cady being in the Andy Griffith Show pilot playing the town drunk but maybe they wanted a more conventional portrayal.

Slogging my way through Petticoat Junction s4 in which goddamn Steve Elliott sings a boring song in almost every episode. But he does sport a nice variety of windbreakers and together with his tapered chinos and suede Chelsea boots he cuts a nice figure as a 1960s casual action man. This is the the season when Billie Joe fully thinks Steve is gonna marry her, little does she know.

Guess I never told my story about sending away for celebrity photos from an ad in the back of a comic book when I was about 8. There wasn't even an order form to select from, so you could select any star. I had crushes on Anne Francis from Honey West, Goldie Hawn, and Jeannine Riley (who happened to look much like my third grade teacher) so I ordered those. The first two arrived fairly quickly, and then after a long delay a second shipment arrived... with a photo of Jeannie C. Riley. I was crushed.

It’s so sad when Charley Pratt leaves the Junction because they give him what is clearly, in retrospect, a send-off show just months (weeks?) before the actor Smiley Burnette passed away. Floyd and Charley are such a dependable source of laughs on the show. And then suddenly Floyd is running the train by himself with no room given for mourning.
