JennyLee this is a great idea!!!

Rev. Bemis: I'm having trouble keeping my congregation.
Chico: Well Rev, maybe you just need to spice up your sermons a bit... let's hear your favorite sermon.

Chico: Try it like this Rev... "And Adam dug that he was the first man, but he asked God where the broads were and God said, "For the seed for woman the kernel will be one of your ribs." Which only goes to prove that even in the Garden of Eden, the Colonel had ribs!!!" HA HA HA!!!!

Rev. Bemis: That was great, Chico. I know that would bring the people in. YOU must come and preach this Sunday at my church!
Chico: NOOO! I'm no preacher! The only reason people think I took a vow of poverty is because I work for HIM! (points to Ed)
Ed: But no one can deliver that sermon like you, Chico.
Rev. Bemis: Yes, you must be the guest speaker at my church this Sunday! You could bring all your friends.
Chico: What friends of mine would want to come and see me make a complete fool of myself?
Ed: (raises his hand!)

Chico: There once was a righteous man named Noah. Sounds righteous, doesn't it. Say it, NOAH!
Congregation: NOAH!
Chico: Yes Amen!

Chico: And Noah had his little Puerto Rican cook, Julio with him and Noah said to Julio, "How are you enjoying the cruise?" and Julio said, "Terrible. There are no beaches, no chips... all I see are animals crapping in a boat. Where are you going to get a newspaper big enough for the elephants?" And Noah said, "Well if you don't like it you can clean it up!" And Julio said. "Ezz not my yob, mon!"

Chico: And the moral of this story is "A bird in the hand... can be a heck of a mess!"

Thank you . I really had fun doing these. I hope to do more soon. My amiga Rosaly had given me a CD with hundreds of pictures from 30 shows, mostly second season, back about a year ago. She has this computer software that takes shots directly from the TV. She used to post them over on the CATM yahoo club and the Club of Prinzes, but I think most of them were lost when the clubs switched to groups. I have always enjoyed them, but now I have found a new way to share them. Thank you Jenny Lee for the idea and Rosaly for the pictures! :D :wave:

Thanks for sharing. I had saved some of the pics that were on one of the YAHOO clubs which are now e-mail groups cuz I knew all the pics had been lost in CLUB OF THE PRINZES & wanted to restore them. So I posted them back into CLUB OF THE PRINZES. Glad to see they were preserved on CD. :)

I'm looking at his face in the photo and reading the caption of what he was saying at the same time and it cracks me up.:lol:

Just the way he presented himself on that particular scene was emotional for me. I could actually see him as a minister if that would of been his career after show buisness!!

is this "sermon" from freddie's comedy club days? in the show, is it humorous all the way throught, or at the end does he get inspirational, causing an "awwwwww . . " moment? was the shirt meant to be funny, or was it "in" back then?

these episode comic books are great! thanks muchly!

He's wearing what I used to call a Puertorican or Mexican Leisure Suit. I think hispanics used to wear leaisure suits like that back then. Pretty enat outfit but I always wondered why he wore a flashy leisure suit to the church then instead of a regular suit...

Jamison - The shirt was the style back then in the 70's. Alot of New Yorkers got into the western shirt gear at that time. Back then Freddie was HIP........ Now they call it Rad or who knows what they call it. :lol:
