I have compiled a short list (I'm still working on it) of my favorite old-time television shows or characters.- Potter Gunn -- private eye. TV Noir. String ties and pensive grimaces. Works as a potter -- wishes to be thought an artist.
- Potterdin, Have Wheel Will Travel.
- Welcome Back Potter -- starring that young yet-to-be-famous John Travolta as the young wheel man, and comic relief Horshack as the handle-puller.
- The Dick Van Dyke Show -- Remember? ..Rob Pottery wrote for the Alan Brady Show? Cute wife played by Mary Tiler Moore?
- 77 Ceramic Strip -- Kooky, Kooky, lend me your comb...so's I can texture this pot.
There's just nothing like a walk down memory lane.
(I was reminded of this older blog post as I read the Sawdust and Dirt guest blogger this morning)
Very punny
ReplyDeleteI loved watching "The Cone Ranger" as a kid. A great show of an intrepid mud slinger and his trusted side kick bringing justice and even temperatures to firings in the wild west.
ReplyDeleteOh, I agree! The Cone Ranger was great. I loved the way he always left behind a silver luster-fired cone.
ReplyDeleteWho was that masked man?
If I ever gave up the pottery gig and went to Hollywood to be an actor, I would assume the stage name "Beau Nash". If people asked me if I was synthetic, I would answer, "Of course. This is Hollywood."
What about that daytime favorite "As the Wheel Turns"? And don't forget they always announce future Kiln Firings on "Burn Notice".
ReplyDeleteRE: that short lived alphabet post. C says he is OK with 7 letters carrying the rest of the lazy alphabet but no one is working double time on his shift.7 letters and 3 chords should be enough for anyone.Remember, when they asked the banjo player if he could read music he replied"Well, not enough to hurt my playing"
Beau Nash! That's hilarious!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget True Frit has been nominated for several Oscars this year!
ReplyDelete"Don't forget True Frit has been nominated for several Oscars this year!"
ReplyDeleteHeck yes! ....produced, of course, by the Cone Brothers.

ReplyDeleteMy friend, Stephen, up in Minnesota where it is so cold that kilns cannot reach temperature, admitted that he's been hooked on "Glaze Of Our Lives" for years now.
