Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball never had much luck pulling the wool over the What’s My Line? panel when they appeared as the show’s Mystery Guests.
For the handful of souls out there, aside from myself, who would be infuriated by a post revealing the outcomes of each of their trips to the seat next to host John Charles Daly, I hereby present a SPOILER ALERT. It may be the furthest reaching back SPOILER ALERT in the history of the notion, but there you are.
But, if you’ve ever wondered what the Ricardo apartment from I Love Lucy looked like in actual color and you choose not to move on, you’ll miss out on some seriously cool footage secretly shot on the set.

My cat weighs twenty pounds, so you can probably guess what he’s dreaming about.

The plant I rescued from the dumpster finally gave me a thank-you note.

I have not watched more than a single episode of any of the past seasons of The Bachelor or The Bachelorette, so I come to ABC’s new Big Brother-Bachelor hybrid, Bachelor Pad completely free from any bias against anyone in this group of sweaty, horny little squirrel monkeys.
I do feel badly for poor host Chris Harrison though. He may or may not have something more than a “Hollywood plain-face,” but we’ll never know it from this show. Compared to the never-ending parade of tens (and occasional nines admitted in for pure comic relief), Chris comes off looking slightly less appealing than Nanny McPhee. But they’re paying him well, so the guy shows up. Props to the host.
“They’ll be living in the same house!” Chris warns matter-of-factly before adding, “and sleeping in the same room!” with the obvious suggestiveness of a superior mom at her son’s third birthday party. “We have cake… and finger-painting!”

First to arrive at the house is Tenley… over-exuberant, runs-on-her-tippy-toes Tenley who squeals whenever she sees a friend from her season of the show… or a good-looking guy… or host Chris Harrison… or a cameraman wearing a cool belt… or a fresh stick of Doublemint. Designed to be annoying and ready to break into tears at a moment’s notice, she’s sure to be around for quite some time.

To celebrate my three-hour-plus visit to the dentist this past Friday, I present the absolute most sugary dessert I have made in months.
Yes, I said three-hour-plus. Actually it was even more than that because it had been so long since I had been to see the dentist that the hygenist actually had to break my simple, routine cleaning into two separate appointments. So the second appointment began with the resumption of scraping, plying and carving plaque off my teeth. Sadly, from there, it went seriously downhill.

The view from my seat in the production control room. We were giving away a Life Cycle that hour. Explaining the cave people would be too much work. Draw your own story.

Be very careful when you fix yourself a Dark ‘n Stormy. Making it incorrectly could land your ass in the slammer.
The drink is actually protected by a trademark owned by the Gosling family, makers of Gosling’s Black Seal Rum. So technically, if you use any other brand of rum to make this cocktail, you are breaking the law.

Chicken is easy to abuse. It’s so simple to prepare, it’s good for you, it’s filling, it’s abundant, it’s inexpensive, and it takes a real genius to burn it. So, if you’re not careful, you’ll find yourself making that aching sigh at the grocery store that translates into “ugh… again?” as you grab your favorite thighs, drumsticks or boneless breasts and toss them unenthusiastically into your basket, the way Mary Richards did in the opening of The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
