44-03-29 Letter From Bess Suggests Sade Come Visit

STARRING: ART VAN HARVEY, BERNARDINE FLYNN AND  DAVID WHITEHOUSE

A letter from Aunt Bess temporarily sidetracks Vic from a game of indoor horseshoes and then, has him accidentally laughing.  However, instead of blowing up, it only slightly aggravates Sade.

___________________

Sade usually would take out her frustration on Vic or Rush (or in this case, Russell) but instead, she seems to keep it inside.  Russell was the true instigator anyway.

TRIVIA:

* Walter read in the Freeport paper that the Consolidated Kitchenware plant in Dubuque, Iowa had a fire.  I'll bet Gus Fuss was in a rush.  And talk about your warm lemonade...

* Euncie is still learning the same piano piece ("The Great Colorado Train Robbery Scottish") and trying to do it without looking at the sheet music.

* Russell somehow gets under the davenport, looking for a penny.  The davenport  must be huge.  Bluetooth was also under this davenport in 1939.

* Is it a joke when the Paul Rhymer script tells of a man who was college-educated who's purpose was sharpening razors?  Even though we have oceans of articles on Rhymer, I have yet to even be offered a hint why he was seemingly so fascinated with barbers and razors.

* The letter suggests that Sade come for a visit; Bess all but eliminates Vic and Russell from coming in her wording.  It seems that Sade probably didn't take up her sister on her offer - according to the episodes we know to exist shortly after this aired.

43-01-28 Sade's On the Phone

STARRING: BERNARDINE FLYNN (SOLO)

Sade is busy at the phone, window and back door as she dodges (or tries to) the newly-moved davenport, which she keeps bumping into.

___________________

This episode is a total solo effort from Bernadine Flynn. In interviews from the 1970's, she spoke about this episode: (((HEAR))) and (((HEAR))).  Flynn mentions some facts not associated with this particular show, so a Sade-solo may have happened more than once.

It's unfortunate that we are not able to listen to this episode, for I suspect we would come away more amazed at the talent of Flynn than we are now.

Trivia:

+ When Sade talks to Mis' Trogle on the phone, she briefly speaks about her daughter, Margaret.  Mis' Trogle also has the first name of Margaret!

+ Mr. Croucher has a son named 'Leland'.

+ Though Bill Idelson is in the Navy at this date, Rush raps at the window on two occasions.  That's mind boggling.  Yes, it's just a radio show.

+ Irving or Irvin?? The grocery delivery boy is referred to by different names (Irving or Irvin) by different family members in different episodes.  The script here says, ''Irving'', yet it's in the minority.  Just try and live with it.

STARRING: ART VAN HARVEY AND BERNARDINE FLYNN

Vic and Sade read through Vic's pile of Christmas gift suggestions for the boss that he collected at work.

________________________

I don't know why but this strikes me as a strange episode. It lacks the bite of a normal episode and ends without a punch.

Trivia:

+ Sade ran into Rishigan Fishigan downtown.

+ We find out that Vic's secretary, Miss Hammersweet, has the first name of 'Olive.'

+ Irving, an office boy, is mentioned for the first time. He's a "funny guy" who works at Plant 14.
