What is the best program on television these days? Since I don't watch much tv, I don't know much of anything on anymore...But I love and watch almost all Brit comedies and murder mysteries.
ReplyDeleteWhat is your all-time favorite movie? AUNTIE MAME!!!!!!!
When was the last time you saw a live stage play? Moulin Rouge on Broadway before the pandemic.
What was the first "concert" you attended? Shawn Cassidy.
When they make an animated movie of your life, who would you want to play the part of you? Neil Patrick Harris I guess as some think I resemble him. Besides, I'm already a cartoon!!!
Or Smurfette! LOL
DeleteI have several complete series of Brit Coms on DVD, my escape binges.
Delete1: What is the best program on television these days? I gave up TV when it went digital - I wanted to see how long it would take until I missed it. I'm still waiting. I miss Gwen Ifill on Washington Week. However, unless she comes back from the dead, that will never happen again. From YouTube clips I've developed a fondness for Stephen Colbert's show
ReplyDelete2: What is your all time favorite movie? Star Wars. It operates on so many different levels.
3: When was the last time you saw a live stage play? Probably May/June 2011. I was laid off in October 2010 and would have been using up the last of my ACT subscription. Other than that, the Palm Sunday liturgy is a bit of a performance.
4: What was the first "concert" you attended? LA Philharmonic - Zubin Mehta conducting and Vladimir Ashkenazy was the piano soloist. Mother's first subscription series happened to the LA Phil was on my 11th birthday.
5: When they make an animated movie of your life, who would you want to play the part of you? The Roadrunner

BeeBeep!
Delete1. Given I at time watch YouTube on the tv, I'll say Foxes Afloat, even if I don't bother with their live broadcasts.
ReplyDelete2. That's a hard one to narrow down, but I'll say Cabaret.
3. It is too long ago to remember.
4. The band Skyhooks, at a small then local venue.
5. This requires some knowledge of animation, which I don't have.
Foxes are so fun.
Delete1: What is the best program on television these days? Couldn’t say
ReplyDelete2: What is your all time favorite movie? I couldn’t name just one
3: When was the last time you saw a live stage play? A few years ago, Company, with Antonio Banderas in Málaga.
4: What was the first "concert" you attended? I can’t believe I can’t remember. I know I saw plenty of things as a kid. And then loads as a teen and young adult. John Sebastian was one I can think of when I was around 17, I think.
5: When they make an animated movie of your life, who would you want to play the part of you? Wow. I’m finding all these questions challenging. This, too, would take a lot of thought.
You very much escaped American television.
Delete1: What is the best programme on television these days? "University Challenge" - a British quiz show.
ReplyDelete2: What is your all time favourite film? "Schindler's List"
3: When was the last time you saw a live stage play? On Friday night
4: What was the first "concert" you attended? It is so long ago that I cannot remember but a very early one would have been The Nice with Keith Emerson at Burton Constable Hall.
5: When they make an animated movie of your life, who would you want to play the part of you? Animated? You mean that I would be played by an animal? Let's say a Bengal tiger. Besides no human actor could possibly capture my natural charisma and imposing presence.
Roar!
Delete1. Unlike my friends we don't watch much - let alone binge. I'm so far behind that since I'll never catch up, I don't even start. But we did enjoy 'Somebody Somewhere' on HBO
ReplyDelete2. Eeeek. "Auntie Mame". or "What's Up Doc?" or "the Hours". or.........
3. October 2024 - we saw three, but the last was 'the Roommate' with Mia Farrow and Patti LaPone
4. Fleetwood Mac - Rumours tour back in 1977
5. Bullwinkle
And 710 as your Rocky?
Delete1. Best TV show right now? PBS is currently airing the conclusion of "Wolf Hall" with Mark Rylance as Thomas Cromwell and Damian Lewis as Henry VIII. Outstanding!
ReplyDelete2. All-time favourite movie? "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," natch.
3. Live stage play? I'm seeing one this afternoon! I have season's tickets with a friend to a local theatre group.
4. First concert? The farewell concert of The Guess Who in Winnipeg in 1975.
5. Animated version of me? Buttercup the Powerpuff Girl.
PBS is a gem, hopefully it survives the current troubles.
DeleteI heartily agree with Wolf Hall! Best line so far was re Anne Boleyn's accused lovers: "And I found 5 guilty men, though perhaps not as charged."
Delete1: What is the best program on television these days? I will agree about CBS Sunday Morning; the opening music bit is like nirvana.
ReplyDelete2: What is your all time favorite movie? The Red Violin.
3: When was the last time you saw a live stage play? A week ago at our local fine arts center; Hairspray. It was quite good.
4: What was the first "concert" you attended? Rod Stewart and Peter Frampton way way way back in the day.
5: When they make an animated movie of your life, who would you want to play the part of you? Huey, Dewey or Louie.
Rod Stewart, my heart would melt.
Delete1: What is the best program on television these days? Washington Week
ReplyDelete2: What is your all time favorite movie? I don't really have one but I'll say Russia House since I do watch it over and over.
3: When was the last time you saw a live stage play? Just three weeks ago.
4: What was the first "concert" you attended? I honestly can't remember the first but I'll say Fleetwood Mac was a stand out.
5: When they make an animated movie of your life, who would you want to play the part of you? How about Jane Jetson
We are still waiting for flying cars and robot housekeepers.
Delete1. Dr Pol, of course!
ReplyDelete2. "The Lion in Winter" (best you thought I was going to say Tora, Tora, Tora)
3. Same as you, oddly enough
4. Village People in Minneapolis; can you tell I don't go to concerts much?
5. This one's easy: Daffy Duck
Village People would have been more my style.
Delete1. I like the British shows on my PBS station
ReplyDelete2. I don't know.
3. Last year I saw a live play about Marie Curie.
4. The Association at my college in 1970.
5. Maybe Marge Simpson with gray hair.
Marge's hair can be any color she wants.
Delete1: What is the best program on television these days? I don't watch much TV but do enjoy what PBS offers.
ReplyDelete2: What is your all time favorite movie? Dead Poets Society
3: When was the last time you saw a live stage play? About a month ago when we were In Florida..."Come From Away." It's about the diverted 9/11 flights to the US that had to land in Gander, Newfoundland and how the town welcomed all these people who just wanted to get home. What a juxtaposition to the current US/Canadian relations.
4: What was the first "concert" you attended? Elton John in the mid-70s. He opened with "Funeral for a Friend," using dry ice effects. It was a musical and theatrical experience.
5: When they make an animated movie of your life, who would you want to play the part of you? Back in the day, I took all my kids to the Disney movies and the one character that resonates with me is Princess Jasmine. I am no princess, but Jasmine had people all around her trying to decide her future. In her adventure to self-discovery, she broke out of her comfort zone and discovered a whole new world outside of her safe and predictable palace walls.
Sometime in the next few weeks, I have a clip from Dead Poets Society in a post (with some upcoming travel, I have a bunch of posts drafted ahead of time.)
Delete1: What is the best program on television these days? Ted Lasso
ReplyDelete2: What is your all time favorite movie? Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
3: When was the last time you saw a live stage play? "The Play That Goes Wrong" in NYC.
4: What was the first "concert" you attended? the Beach Boys
5: When they make an animated movie of your life, who would you want to play the part of you? I want it to be Jason Statham, but it would probably be Brian Posehn

I can see you played as a superhero.
DeleteOh my.
ReplyDelete1. I have no idea since we don't watch regular t.v.
2. "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" or "Casablanca". It's difficult to choose.
3. Many decades ago and I can't remember. Perhaps just out of college and I ran the lights for the play about the traveling salesman and his sons. Can't even remember the name of it.
4. Bobby Vee and the Shadows in Jamestown, North Dakota.
5. Probably the Road Runner.
Oh I found it. "Death of a Salesman". A classic.
DeleteI'll skip. But you gave me ideal for a blog post.
