Started off my morning with breakfast and Charlie & Lola. Like my sisters, Lola won't clean up hers and Charlie's room, even though she insists "It Is Absolutely and Completely Not Messy" and it's an organized mess. Charlie's tired of dealing with "organized messes" that spread all over, even to his bed. It's not until he moves his bed out of the room that Lola remembers she's sharing her room, and "organized mess" or not, she has to think of what her brother wants, too.
Worked on writing for a while after that. Gene explains that the story he was given for Debralee's Nutcracker follows the original tale by ETA Hoffman, not the ballet. There's no Sugar Plum Fairy or dancing candies. Brett protests that there's always a Sugar Plum Fairy, which leads to arguing when Charles points out that some versions of the ballet give the Fairy's dances to Marie and the Nutcracker Prince.
Broke for lunch at 12:30. Watched Match Game '75 while I ate and got ready for work. Producer and tough-guy actor Sheldon Leonard and Cuban bombshell Louisa Moritz join in here as Gene explains Zorro to a clueless contestant (with sword moves recalling his days as a fencer in high school). Sheldon gets a rare chance to help a contestant with "__ Shirt" in the Head-to-Head.
Headed out to work shortly after that. Between a decent, if windy, afternoon and it being the end of the month and between holidays, we were dead almost the entire night. It got slightly steady during rush hour, only to die off again by 5. In and out with no problems other than some frustrating customers. One of the late-night cashiers came in for me.
Went straight home after work. Had leftovers while watching Match Game '79. Buzzr jumped to earlier in the year. David "Bosley" Doyle, Loretta Swit, and Scoey Mitchilll give some very funny answers to "I Need a __" in the Audience Match. Brett's more nervous about helping the contestant with "You're Out of __" in the Head to Head. We also have a contestant's hilarious answer to who would be the least-likely person on TV to wear a bikini.
The next episode got even wilder. Scoey turned away from Fannie when he feared she'd give a comic answer on a question one of the contestants really needed. (For the record, she didn't.) Fannie had less luck with "__ Warning" in the Head-to-Head. Meanwhile, Gene's giving Scoey a good smack on the head with his microphone, Charles still wants his own show, and Brett attempts stripping when the appropriate music is played.
Finished the night at the Roku Channel after a shower with a two-part third season Charlie's Angels episode. "Terror On Skis" brings the ladies to a ski resort in Vail. Colorado to protect the President's Special Envoy to the United Nations and his secretary from a kidnapping plot. While Bosley romances the secretary, Kelly falls for the independent, ski-loving politician, and Kris spars with the special agent who hired the girls. Sabrina thinks she's falling for a handsome Italian skier...but she's in over her head when it turns out the man belongs to his father's terrorist organization. She first tries to convince the youth that his father's cause is doing more damage than good, then attempts escape to warn the others.
