Wow. I don't watch shows like that, but that might worth being seen!!! (That didn't really make sense...the wording, but)

JMFabiano524 · 08-26-2008, 09:43 PM

Thought I saw an article that said they didn't want to use her, instead going with some celebrity with a heart condition (forget who). But this is good news. I don't really watch it, but hope our "Phyllis" does well!

The way she used to flit around Mary's apartment, she probably had some dance training.
I won't watch, but will be pulling for Cloris and hope somebody will keep us up to date.

Speaking of Cloris, I heard somewhere that she was the star of a recent roast, taking some tough shots but giving a lot out, too. What a saucy lady!
Anybody know anything about that?

OMG, I just found out Cloris is 82...are we sure we want her doing this????

Like on "Rhoda the Beautiful" (which I just watched). Hey, wasn't Valerie Harper on an earlier season of this show, or am I thinking of something else?

No, I don't think Valerie was ever on.

Weird, I could have sworn someone said she was. Or was it some other program?

catlover79 · 09-08-2008, 11:24 PM

^ I DO know for sure that Valerie guested on the first season of the Muppet Show - and was hilarious! The first season is on DVD, as is the second season, which boasted both Cloris Leachman and Nancy Walker (Ida Morgenstern) as guests.

I saw that episode with Valerie Harper on the Muppets on YouTube and it was REALLY good!! I liked that!!

Yes, it's one of my faves, too.

Here's a video of Cloris on Dancing with the Stars if anyone missed it:

Our "Phyllis" still has it!

EDIT: Though, apparently, the judges' scores don't seem to indicate that. What I don't understand is that they seemed to have such glowing words about her just after the dance! (I have never really watched the program regularly, and didn't see the whole thing today. So I don't know if they're nicer before giving the scores in general) Hopefully she'll get enough viewer support, maybe from some of us MTM fans????

This might be the one DWTS I'm really interested in, Cloris of course, but I rather like Misty May as well, having watched the Olympics this past summer.

PGood97041 · 09-23-2008, 02:28 AM

I can't check out the video until I get into work tomorrow (I still don't have high speed internet), but I'd guess it's that she's 82 and just couldn't do as much as some of the other contestants.
But God bless her for trying, and I'm sure the judges had that same feeling during their earlier comments!

Indy788 · 09-23-2008, 10:30 AM

Actually the judges gave pretty low scores to everyone and Cloris' score was pretty average. I think the lowest score was 11 or 12 and the highest score was 20 or 21. The first week most of the performances aren't that good because well...it's the first week. With the schtick after her dance, it'd be really surprised if Cloris was voted off.

Pavan · 09-23-2008, 10:43 AM

The censors will be on alert at all times with Cloris. She is one controversial woman!

Lowest score was 12 and highest was 23. Typical first week numbers. Good start for the show last night and the ratings were very good again.
