The Larry King show was real.y fun! You can see the transcript of it at Larry King Live. It was a refreshing change from all the depressing news.

There was a sad moment during the interview when Larry asked Barbara about her son, who died a few years ago of a drug overdose. Larry asked her how things were, and she sort of shrugged and said, "The same". And Larry said something like, "It's been two years, the pain lessens, doesn't it?" And Barbara replied, "No." I believe that he was Barbara's only child, and I really felt for her during the interview.

Hi all,
This is my first time posting on this particular message board, although I have spent a lot of time on numerous other Sitcoms boards.

I just wanted to say that the interview with Larry King was pretty good. I thought, however, that Bill Daily's comments about Wayne Rogers were not nice, unnecessary and totally un-called-for.

Other than that, I really enjoyed the interview. And, it gave me the answer to something I've wondered about since I was a young fan in the '60s -- why Tony Nelson & Roger Healy's dress uniforms were not the same color.

Later,
Art

I loved seeing the 3 of them together again. Barbara Eden and Larry Hagman both seemed very friendly. In fact, Barbara Eden reminds me a lot of the Jeannie character. I found Bill Daily annoying, he was trying to be too funny I think and it came off rude or annoying, but it was still nice to see the 3 of them

The consistant problem I have with Larry King Live is that whenever he interviews people, he doesn't know a lot about what he's talking about and he always cuts off people in mid-sentence. Sometimes they have good stuff to say but he interrupts

Artfiore1 · 06-05-2003, 07:01 PM

benjamoon,
That seems to be a somewhat common interview method -- faking ignorance, in an effort to get the star to elaborate in greater detail on the subject.

To me, no one is more annoying at that than that "Inside The Actors' Studio" guy on Bravo, James Lipton (or whatever his name is). He makes it much too obvious. I find him incredibly annoying, while Larry King doesn't bother me at all. King seems much more genuine to me.

I didn't see the interview, but I know from what I just read that it was a dumb thing for Larry to say. My parents lost an adult child (my sister), and two years is nothing in the grief process. It's the ultimate loss and the pain stays with a person forever. Years and years must pass for it to get any easier.

Artfiore1 · 06-05-2003, 10:04 PM

Janice,
What did he (Larry King) say -- "It must lessen a little?"?

Probably not the best thing in the world he could've said, but I can sort of see where he was coming from. He obviously didn't mean what he said to be taken to mean, "Do you love him less?" or "Do you miss him less?"

I mean -- two years ago, I'm sure Barbara Eden was crying uncontrollably morning, noon and night -- virtually unable to function. And, there she was, two years later, sitting on a -- what was it, hour-long? -- TV interview and not only *not* crying, but at times smiling and laughing. If it hadn't "lessened" at least a little, I don't think she would've been sitting there in the first place.

Regardless of how people may feel he came across -- or what their feelings may be on the subject -- it was nice of King to ask how she was holding up.

You're right Art. I think I may be too close to this one to be objective. I'm sure Larry only meant well with the question.
Here's a poem that's been circulating for years. I cut it out of Dear Abby years ago and had it professionally printed and framed for my parents.

MY CHILD

PLEASE, don't ask me if I'm over it yet,
I'll never be over it.
PLEASE, don't tell me she is in a better place.
She isn't here with me.
PLEASE, don't say at least she isn't suffering.
I haven't come to terms with why she had to suffer
at all.
PLEASE, don't tell me you know how I feel,
unless you have lost a child.
PLEASE, don't ask me if I feel better.
Bereavement isn't a condition that clears up.
PLEASE, don't tell me at least you had her for
so many years.
What year would you choose for your child to die?
PLEASE, don't tell me God never gives us more
than we can bear.
PLEASE, just say you are sorry.
PLEASE, just remember my child, if you do.
PLEASE, just let me talk about my child.
PLEASE, mention my child's name.
PLEASE, just let me cry.

Janice,
That is a wonderful poem. Thank you so much for posting it.

That was also a very nice thing you did your parents. I'm sure they really appreciated it.
