    I didn't care for the Law & Order: SVU character Detective Amanda Rawlins/Rollins or the actress who played her. I heard that she's no longer on the show. Maybe it will improve now, and I'll like watching again.

    She is still a member. I like her.

    I meant "smiled."

    Time to give up for me on typing  when tired.  
    Feel free to leave it all "as is" - -   I don't feel like correcting. :)
    Pretty good typing skills I have to make typos with real words that are totally unrelated, with letters far from each other on a keyboard. I don't even have autocorrect.

    ARG!! And I meant to reply to Element 99! I'm out of here. (Well, I'm always out I guess, ha)

    William Frawley  ('Fred') on "I Love Lucy"

    Compared to the other three funny-to-me main characters, I found him noticeably less funny and weak in comparison.
    I think Gale Gordon would have been much better in the part. (I believe I read that Gordon, who was originally intended to play the part, was unavailable at the time to play 'Fred.')

      Years ago, I read that Vivian Vance, who played Ethel Mertz on the program (shown the lower left corner in the picture above), stated in an interview that she had absolutely HATED playing a part of a wife with a husband so many years her senior.

    Yes, true.

    I'm a huge "I Love Lucy" fan and Lucille Ball fan. I've been to her hometown and museum.  :)

    Gale got his time on 'Love Boat'', though.

      What do you mean? Was he one of the guest stars on “The Love Boat”?

    Joyce Randolph was so-so as Trixie Norton on The Honeymooners, although the whole series didn't last long.
