Betty Jo, You Are Wonderful Tonight...!

[biffbronson]

It's late in the evening


She's wondering what clothes to wear


She puts on her make-up


And brushes her long long hair
And then she asks me, "Do I look alright?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight"

We go to a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady


That's walking around with me

And then she asks me, "Do you feel alright?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight"
I feel wonderful
Because I see the love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you

It's time to go home now
And I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys


She helps me to bed


And then I tell her, as I turn out the light
I say, "My darling, you are wonderful tonight"


Oh my darling, you are wonderful tonight

One picture in this group really stands out, it's the picture of Linda and Mike taken years after the series went off the air. I don't think I ever saw this photo before, the photo stamped Gettyimages was taken in April of 1979 at Edgar Buchanan's funeral, the full picture includes Meredith MacRae standing just to the right of Linda. A couple of things stand out, Meredith and Linda are looking right at the camera while Mike is looking away from the camera, it would suggest they knew the photo was being taken and maybe Mike did as well. Linda and Mike divorced six years earlier (1973), but they are holding hands. I wonder if they did that just for the series fans, most probably didn't know the two were no longer together. Mike may not have been that comfortable with staging the photo which might explain the fact that his eyes are diverted.

Their seeming to act as a couple, alongside what appeared to be late '70s / early '80s cars in the photo, did surprise me. I was glad to see that, as it may indicate they remained friendly with each other as opposed to a relationship that never recovered from any past acrimony.

I couldn't resist using that photo for "so I give her the car keys." All in good fun.

Another auto image that came to mind would've been taken from the brief PJ spoof of TBH, with IIRC Mike Minor (Steve) driving the Clampett truck. It's been a while since I've seen that, but I don't think it was anything other than a very brief takeoff on TBH, especially in comparison to the full-blown funny job done by the cast of Green Acres.

She was indeed a beautiful woman!
