And I was a married grown-up then, not just a young whippersnapper of 10 or 11!<BR/><BR/>One of the names that immediately springs to mind for me from TW3 is Millicent Martin (latterly seen on 'Frasier'), who must have been the British Nancy Ames. 'Frostie' is still going strong here, mainly doing deeply searching political interviews.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697792053955724924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15254331.post-62786401367734671952007-09-26T08:58:00.000-04:002007-09-26T08:58:00.000-04:00chux - sniffin' back at ya'!Cuz - so, um, Mad Maga...chux - sniffin' back at ya'!<BR/><BR/>Cuz - so, um, Mad Magazine's no longer on your "To Be Read" stack?

Nancy Ames was the TW3 blond - who else was on the show besides Frost?

Back then, if ...Ah, yes, I remember MAD quite well. Back then, if you really wanted to know what was what in the order of world affairs, you read MAD (and read below the surface), and watched shows like Laugh In and That Was The Week That Was. Whatever those shows mocked was something to be noted. TW3 starred David Frost - probably first time America had seen him. Wonder what ever happened to him...<BR/><BR/>Isn't it odd that some of the most serious aspects of our lives are best communicated and dealt with through humor and comedy...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15254331.post-20463423829312884352007-09-25T19:17:00.000-04:002007-09-25T19:17:00.000-04:00Thanks Shorty, for mentioning me in the last Blog....Thanks Shorty, for mentioning me in the last Blog. "Memory's Keep" is another book I would recommend to you and your readers. And, if you want a good history of early American politics, "The Age of Federalism" is an excellent beginning. <BR/><BR/>Love, <BR/><BR/>Cuz.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15254331.post-17375845742843809672007-09-25T12:38:00.000-04:002007-09-25T12:38:00.000-04:00just popped by the have a nose again as to what yo...just popped by the have a nose again as to what you've been upto.<BR/><BR/>My mum would say 'i've come to give you a sniff'.<BR/><BR/>Busy again I can see :)chuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13244284869780373051noreply@blogger.com
