Strange stuff...Floyd the Barber - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Kitt · 01-02-2003, 12:22 AM

Today I was watching the episode with the writer wannabe who got Sheakspear to write scripts for him. Very funny episode. Early on I thought the guy with the mustache and glasses, who played an agent, looked like Floyd the barber from Andy Griffith. Well, later on in the show imagine my surprise that not only was he not Floyd the barber, but the guy who was Floyd the barber was sitting next to him in the writers and producers meeting. Isn't that extremely weird? I thought one guy looked like him and then all of a sudden...there he was!

Whoa, it was kind of weird seeing Burt Reynolds in that episode too.

Yes it was. I really enjoyed the humor of that episode.

Burt Reynolds is an actor. What's so weird about seeing him on TZ? And Howard McNear had a better role in the TZ ep "Hocus,Pocus, and Frisby". That was an ep where a country liar meets a delegation from a planet where untruths are unknown. In the first ep you all described "The Bard", that cute little girl who innocently was hanging around Julius in his apartment. She's Judy Strangis. She later was on Room 222 and Electra Woman and Dyna Girl. She grew up to be a real dish. I think she's Greek in real life.

I know he's an actor. I'm just saying it was weird seeing him so young.

Thank you, Janice. I guess I'll have to be more clear for Nerdta since he/she apparently couldn't understand what I meant. I guess some people are a bit nit picky about the posts and they'll call you on it everytime.

I think "The Bard" was much better.
I thought it was absolutely fascinating the way he conjured Shakespeare who is considered such a wonderful writer; yet these network reps want to tinker with his work. I think it was a great concept and a novel idea.

Hocus, Pocus, and Frisby kind of bored me.

Nedrta · 01-08-2003, 02:27 AM

Oh I am so sorry Jenny. I had no idea seeing Burt Reynolds clean shaven, no cowboy hat and not screaming "Yahoo" into a CB radio was so weird. I didn't realize that unlike most people who get old he was never in fact young. Stupid me! Dog my cats would you believe me Jenny if I tell you I saw him in that ep and I wasn't overcome by a case of the weirds. I saw him be just about that youthful on Alfred Hitchcock Presents too. No shock there either. And then that episode of Flipper. OH!!! What's a matter with me? I am all wrong and blind! YEAH RIGHT!!!!!

Nedrta · 01-08-2003, 02:44 AM

Listen Janice. Howard McNear had the single funniest line ever spoken on TZ in Hocus,Pocus, and Frisbee. Sadly this line is usually edited out. Here's the situation.Liar Frisbee (Andy DEvine) has just met the aliens (disguised as a couple of baldies) and they gave him a $10. Frisbee then goes into his shop and proceeds to tell his buddies (McNear and the priest from Little House on the Prarie) about the two guys who just gave him ten dollars like they didn't know what it even was. McNear then says "Maybe he told them he was Alexander Hamilton. That's gotta be the only one he hasn't tried yet!" McNear and the Priest both begin cracking up at that line. So does almost everyone watching at home. The only way that woud be funnier (but less logical) would be if McNear said "Cyndi Lauper" instead of "Alexander Hamilton".

I've tried my damndest to be nice to you. You aren't worth it. You shove it back in my face and I could care less now. I have one rule on this board and that's to be nice to people. You're acting like a jackass and I'll call you on it. I'm willing to bet people are going to back me up on that fact. It's not just this board. You've showed your attitude problem before. Knock that chip off your shoulder. One day you might meet up with somebody in real life that will knock that chip off for ya.

You can stay if you clean up that attitude problem. If you don't, just stop posting on this board. Case closed

Kitt · 01-08-2003, 08:45 AM

When I posted this fun little post about Floyd, I sure didn't expect that it would be an excuse for a smart aleck poster to jump down peoples' throats Nedrta. You came on like a jerk putting words in Jenny's mouth in an attempt to make her look foolish. You told Janice that she'd agree with you if she only knew the facts. And basically you took all the fun out of this thread for anyone who joined in. You're being a schmuck whether you know or not.

Nedrta · 01-08-2003, 12:04 PM

Kitty, swear to God I could not understand (for a millon dollars) what in the world was so weird about seeing Burt Reynolds on the Twilight Zone. If Jenny had further elaborated from the beginning that it was because Reynolds was young on the TZ I still would not have understood at all. What on Earth is freaky about seeing him young? The TZ ep was obviously made years before any of the movies he became famous for (like Deliverance, The Longest Yard, and Smoky and the Bandit). It just completely stands to reason he'd be much younger on TZ. Yet Jenny wrongly wrote of me to Janice as if I was nitpicky. How I was nitpicky I don't know. BTW how Janice understood Jenny's weird Burt bit with no further explanation I truly don't understand at all. God as my witness I don't.
As for what I said to Janice, a bit more explanation, well it is a true tragedy that when most of the time SciFi Channel runs Hocus, Pocus, and Frisbee they remove MCNear's little Alexanbder Hamilton bit which is also sidesplitting as he and the Priest laugh their heads off at his joke. Without this McNear bit (and though I'm not sure there is a good chance Janice missed it) the HPAF ep could seem duller. I don't care about Devine and the ep is all about his Frisby
character. THat's all I was saying. The "Listen Janice" was only sarcastic.

Kitt · 01-08-2003, 02:03 PM

Haven't you ever looked at an old picture of yourself Nedrta, or your parents, relatives or close friends and caught yourself saying, "Wow, so and so looks so young?" If not then you're the only person I've ever heard of who did not at some time have that reaction. It's just a simple banter type reaction that we all have. Certainly not worth taking someone to the carpet for. And when Janice said that she knew what Jenny meant, and rolled her eyes at you she was thinking along those same lines. She, I and Jenny felt, as you can read from our replies to you, that you went out of your way to make something out of nothing.

If Janice had seen the Hocus Pocus episode uncut (I don't know if she has or not) she might have seen your point. But I suspect she was put off by your reactionary attack on Jenny and was in no mood for going along with whatever you contributed to the discussion thereafter. Nitpicking Nedrta, That's what it all looked like to me. And it was unpleasant.
