#Elmo has remade #Twitter in his own image. Now, rather than a #TownSquare, we have a different square. While #Zuckerberg is playing half-assed checkers, #Musk has chosen center square to block.

Tonight in 1978 — THE PAUL LYNDE COMEDY HOUR aired on ABC.

This was the 5th in a series of variety specials Lynde headlined 1975-79.

#ThePaulLyndeShow s1e8 (1972) - 7/10
#JerryStiller and #AnneMeara are back!

✅ After an insanely good pilot, this show settled into mediocrity very quickly. #PaulLynde is still funny, but the material is lacking.

✅ This one has the same basic Paul-hates-his-son-in-law storyline, but it gives guests Stiller and Meara a lot to do. Them plus Lynde makes this an above-average instalment.

MOVIE QUOTE OF THE DAY:
“As you can see, we suggest the entire family all go out and select the final resting place together. The kids love it. They’ll have a ball.”

#IDreamOfJeannie s2e3 (1966) - 6/10

1️⃣ Surprisingly-average, given that #PaulLynde guests and gets a lot of scenes.

2️⃣ There are funny moments, but the plot is quite linear. A sprint from A to B with no surprises.

3️⃣ The most interesting aspect is seeing Dr. Bellows defend Tony every chance he gets. Despite being the ongoing antagonist of the series, he’s actually a very fair man. And that comes across in this episode. His glee at seeing Huggins’ downfall is very funny.

This week, 50 years ago, on TV Guide…

The star and two cast members of The Paul Lynde Show. ABC kept trying to make a weekly star of Lynde since his TV breakout as Uncle Arthur on Bewitched but they never found a suitable vehicle for his talents.
