I assume The Loud Family would be the PBS tv show, and The Partridge Family=The Partridge Family? Shock Theater=Bauhaus? George Michael=Pee Wee's Playhouse (think about that one) The B-52's=The Flintstones (the B.C.52's) I can't think of any more, and I have to go now and get my tonsils out.

Television scriptwriter Maurice Wiltshire shortened and re-worked 26 original Goon Show scripts to 2 series of 15 minute puppet films." But other than that The Goon Show was a radio show. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2007 13:40:40 -0700 From: Russ Lewis Subject: [loud-fans] Re: Charlotte (and Patti) (and Chuck) Prince = something on the Spice Channel. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2007 15:40:10 -0400 From: Jenny Grover Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Re: Charlotte (and Patti) (and Chuck) Scout82667@aol.com wrote: > > The B-52's=The Flintstones (the B.C.52's) > I love it! I wish I could play this game, but I really don't have enough knowledge or experience with TV shows, particularly in the 80s and 90s, and in the present I don't watch dramas or sit-coms. This one occurred to me last night, though.

Hadn't thought of "Dusty's Trail" in a few years, Andy "We wish that this column, rising towards heaven among the pointed spires of so many temples dedicated to God, may contribute also to produce in all minds a pious feeling of dependence and gratitude. We wish, finally, that the last object to the sight of him who leaves his native shore, and the first to gladden his who revisits it, may be something which shall remind him of the liberty and the glory of his country. Let it rise! let it rise, till it meet the sun in his coming; let the earliest light of the morning gild it, and the parting day linger and play on its summit!" - --Daniel Webster, Address on laying the Corner-Stone of the Bunker Hill Monument, 1825. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2007 15:05:29 -0700 From: Russ Lewis Subject: [loud-fans] Re: Charlotte (and Patti) (and Chuck) Sayeth Andy, > << The Cramps = ???

I thought that was a little risky. Maybe _Do Not Adjust Your Set_ would be closer to the mark for the Bonzo Dog Band. I thought of some more. Fripp and Eno = _Video Visionaries_ (late-'70s PBS series dedicated to "video art" that mostly looked like moving wallpaper) Dionne Warwick = Julia I thought the Mamas and the Papas would have been a better fit for _The Flintstones._ I'm having trouble matching up the Grateful Dead and the Stray Cats.

Well, not a match for all of that, but overall The Thompson Twins had a sort of similar vibe in their publicity photos. And as for the Mothers of Invention, maybe M*A*S*H? And I picture Fripp and Eno, especially on the cover of "No Pussyfooting," as an anal retentive precursor to Wayne's World. I'm probably reacting mostly to numbers and physical types... ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V7 #137 *******************************
