Lots of great actors on that show!

Did anyone else use to watch the night-time sitcom called Soap? I think Billy Crystal actually got his start there.
That was a frickin HILARIOUS show! (What the hell was my mom thinking letting a 12 year-old watch it, though?) I've been meaning to see if it's available on Hulu.

Yes, Uncle Charlie was a miserable old salt and Ernie would not have lasted 15 minutes if he had to go to a real school somewhere.

I always thought this passage from MacMurray's bio on Wikipedia was amusing:

He was considered one of the wealthiest and most frugal actors in the business. Studio co-workers noticed that even as a successful actor, MacMurray would usually bring a brown bag lunch to work, often including a hardboiled egg. According to his co-star on My Three Sons, William Demarest, MacMurray continued to bring dyed Easter eggs for lunch several months after Easter so as not to waste them. Friends and business associates jokingly referred to him as "the thrifty multimillionaire".


I have heard that there are some outstanding wines from his old ranch, though.

MacMurray's operation makes a mean pinot noir!

I'm looking for a full version of the jingle. I want it for my cell phone ring.

Cool! (no pun intended).  I couldn't wait for Mr. Softee on those summer nights of my childhood in NY.  I read that they don't let them play that jingle anymore.  Many years ago, I played in a band who did a Ventures-inspired version of The Softee Jingle.

Here he is with his truck back in 1964. on the original photo, you can read the menu on the window. 10¢ for a cone.
