So last night I was torturing Lisa by making her watch old TV shows when we were lying down before we went to sleep. Now she rejected "The Riflemen" and "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea." We caught an episode of "Adam 12" which I will do a separate post about later. But then I really made her crazy!
A put on an episode of the ancient "Jack Benny Show" from when television first began! It was the one where they had on Bobby Darin who was a young Heartthrob at the time. He was supposed to play Jack in his new bio-pic. It was entertaining but there was one really funny thing about it. It was really gay! I mean Titus quality gay!
First there was a scene in a nightclub where we are introduced to Bobby Darin. Now in the background against the wall visible right over the head of Jack's manager was a statue. A greek statue. A naked greek statue. Whose balls and johnson looked like they were on top of the guys head! It was a Roman helmet from a Greek statue!
Then Jack meets Bobby. Now Jack doesn't want him to play him but Bobby kisses his ass so much that he turns around and agrees to him playing him in a movie. But he suggest that he come stay with him so he could "understand him." Then next scene they are in his house and Darin goes "So am I going to meet your wife?" Jack goes "No she is going to be away for a week. It is just the two of us." Various high jinks ensue which involve not eating dinner and dry cleaning. All very gay. But the topper is when a sailor walks in. Yes that is right a sailor. With the whole sailor suit with the little hat and everything. That was when we shut it off.
It was just too gay!
Seriously who knew?
