I’m sure I talked about it in a few of my blogs, and even on Talking Herrmann. My all-time favorite episode that is hilarious and cleverly written is from 372
Season Three, “Love’s Old Sweet Song” (airdate 12/28/66). This is the introduction to the enchanting Lou-Ann Poovie character. She is a lousy nightclub singer at the Congo Club near base, and love-struck admirers Sergeant Carter and Duke think she is a goddess! Eventually of course she falls for Gomer! The gal who plays Lou-Ann is Elizabeth MacRae. “Actually,” she is quite funny! She previously played Festus’ girlfriend, April, in Gunsmoke for four or more episodes. So she graduated from Festus to Gomer! “Hey, Gomer!” If you don’t to fork over money for the complete series, then make sure you get the Third Season set. Another of my favorites episodes is from the Fifth Season titled “Win A Date.” This is a classic! From the Fourth Season is a terrific episode titled “Change Partners” about Sergeant Carter and his girlfriend, Bunny, having a fight, so Gomer concocts a scheme to get them back together by having Carter dating Lou-Ann while Gomer dates Bunny. There are a lot of great episodes and very few stinkers (episodes when you don’t even get a laugh). Some are lame, including one with Poovie called “Dynamite Diner.” Normally, however, the episodes are consistently good. The casting of Jim Nabors and Frank Sutton together is great comic chemistry, one of the best duos (Laurel & Hardy, Abbott & Costello, Obama & Cantor). Probably the only other series that gave me big laughs consistently was the Abbott & Costello Show, especially Season One. I think Car 54, Where Are You? was a laugh winner as well. I like Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm but it’s not consistently good. Some episodes are masterpieces, however! One from the Third Season is “The Special Section” starring Shelley Berman (“Don’t bother Larry!”). -Perry Mason 50 th Anniversary Edition (1957-1966) **** http://www.amazon.com/Perry-Mason-50th-Anniversary- Raymond/dp/B0012EM5F6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1293763912&sr=1-1 This is an excellent special dvd set. I love the many special features included, including talent tests, his “Person To Person” show, and so on. You can watch 12 episodes from the series (including the final episode I believe). -Perry Mason: Season 1, Volume 1 (1957) **** http://www.amazon.com/Perry-Mason-Season-One- Vol/dp/B000F48D0U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1293763990&sr=1-1 Classic CBS lawyer series starring the great Raymond Burr. You are sequestered to buy this set! “The Case of the Restless Redhead” September 21, 1957 **** B+ This is an excellent and suspenseful introduction to the Perry Mason world. It tended to initially offer a rather romanticized version of Mason with a sort of flair and impatience to his character. The character, as it quickly evolved this season, tended to become far more even natured, although Mason’s craftiness still remained. I always get a laugh in Chapter 3 starting at 2:41 in Mason’s office. He sees Evelyn Bagby (played by Whitney Blake) enter the office distraught and there’s a camera shot of him running to 373
