Return to Matches

Began the morning with breakfast and Sailor Moon Crystal. Usagi transforms into "Serenity" after Tuxedo Mask's life is in danger. She recalls who she and the other Guardians are now - the original defenders of the Kingdom of the Moon. Serenity loved Endymion, but they were forbidden to see each other after the moon and Earth went to war. Usagi is understandably upset after Tuxedo Mask vanishes, but the other girls are there to encourage her.

Hurried off to work after that. Work was off-and-on busy, though nothing like Labor Day Weekend. It was so nice, a lot of people may have gone down to the Shore for the weekend. It remains sunny, warm, and a tiny bit humid here, though nothing like earlier in the summer. I did have to put away some cold items, but otherwise, I was either sweeping or outside pushing carts and enjoying the weather.

I've been meaning to unload a full plastic container of coins into the Coinstar machine for a while now. Got $16 out of it. Picked up coconut macaroons and pumpkin cake roll off the clearance rack for a treat and bagels for lunch this week.

Hurried straight home after that. Watched Alice In Wonderland (Or What's a Nice Girl Like You Doing In a Place Like This?) while eating dinner. I go further into this Hanna Barbara retelling of the famous fantasy novel at my Musical Dreams Movie Reviews blog.

Took a quick shower, then finished the night with today's Match Game Classics marathon. It was originally supposed to be for Paul Williams, but for some reason, YouTube decided it didn't like that and cut it off after an hour. The owner of the channel switched to a shorter marathon revolving around panelists returning after a long absence. Orson Bean made a final appearance in late 1979 after having been away for several years. Jimmie Walker, Bill Daily, and Elaine Joyce all turned up early in the run of Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour. Avery Schriberer, Mary Wickes, Jo Anne Worley, and Dick and Dolly Martin all made their first appearance in over a decade on Match Game '90.

No one made more of a reappearance after a prolonged absence than Charles Nelson Reilly. He went away for six months in late 1974-early 1975 to direct a Broadway play. He finally returned to the show via wire, a stuffed bird, and feathers falling on Gene Rayburn. Jokes even got tossed around about the bird flying him out there and giving him water so Betty White wouldn't be upset. And of course, he had to throw out one last quip about the guys who hauled him in hauling Brett out.

Return with these panelists to those thrilling days of yesteryear as we see them come back for one last match!
