Rediscovered Angels

Got a quick start this morning with breakfast and Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood. Daniel growls when his mother cleans up his farm toys while he's still playing with them. "Daniel Uses His Words" when his mother gets him calmed down enough to explain what happened. Likewise, he needs a lot more than growling when he explains to Miss Elaina he doesn't like her throwing Tigey. It's "All Aboard" when Daniel and Katerina play train, but first Dan has to explain to Katerina that he wants to be the conductor, and then Katerina needs more than meowing when she has to tell Dan she wants it to be a monkey train.

Spent the rest of the morning working on writing. Brett complains to Ross that he doesn't keep a better handle on the panel, and he doesn't do voices or get into the comedy the way Gene does. Charles and Ross disagree - they think he's doing just fine, or at least the best he can.

Changed, grabbed an apple to go with lunch, then went straight to work. Work started out boring, until it hit rush hour. Then not only did two people go home, but no one replaced them, and we had long lines. I just kept panicking. The customers are always so darn fussy about their bags and how this and that should be done. And then they pulled me 15 minutes before I went home to go in for the express lane cashier's break...and of course, he was late getting back, and I was nearly late.

Hurried home and had dinner while watching Match Game '77. Though she was no longer on Happy Days by that point, Roz Kelly still gets a kiss from Gene Rayburn! Meanwhile, a broad-shouldered contestant from Detroit is making the panelists nervous. They try to concentrate on helping him with the Audience Match "Loaded __."

Vacuumed the rooms and wiped down screens and windows while watching the second episode. Gene's not the only one eager to kiss Roz Kelly. She gets a smooch from a young man in the audience, prompting Gene to call him "The New Fonz."

Finished out the night online after a shower with the first season finale of Charlie's Angels on Amazon Prime. Sabrina and Kelly find themselves temporarily back on the force when "The Blue Angels" investigate a cop who may be extorting money from massage parlors that are fronts for prostitution rings. Jill and Bosley take charge of one such massage parlor. Sabrina joins the cop who found two men dead and a woman badly battered in one of the massage parlors. Kelly joins the police academy to investigate two of the cadets who are suspected of almost running down Sabrina. 

Oh, and I found something really cool at YouTube. Match Game PM #11 and The Mouse Factory aren't the only previously lost media that reemerged this year. Two lost Betty Boop shorts, "Honest Love and True" and "Buzzy Boop at the Concert," were found in foreign archives in 2019 and posted online in the last few weeks. I saw "Concert." Buzzy Boop is Betty's tomboy country cousin. She's bored at the opera concert Betty takes her to, until she teaches the soprano some really swingin' moves! (And thanks to UCLA for this sterling restoration!)
