The movie company Warner Brothers threatened to sue Groucho Marx, leader of the famous Marx Brothers comedy team, for giving his newest film the title A Night in Casablanca because it was too similar to their Bogart-Bergman film Casablanca. In response, the ascerbic Groucho growled back, "I'll sue you for using the word 'Brothers'."

According to one source, the late hippie-crooner Tiny Tim took eight baths a day. He was obsessed with germs and cleanliness, and even went so far as to avoid eating off china plates and using standard utensils. He didn't believe that germs could be completely washed away, and so always requested paper plates and plastic forks, spoons, and knives when eating - even when in public.

In the U.S., prime-time Westerns on TV reached their peak in 1958-1959, when there were 31 shows on the air. The public's taste shifted, and by 1964-1965, the number of TV Westerns had plummeted to 7. Westerns have never enjoyed such popularity on U.S. television since.
 
I still remember sitting with my Grandfather watching Gunsmoke. Good times...
 
wow... 31 westerns! Sounds like cable has been around longer than I remember! ;)
 
You can still watch it with Cable or Sattelite! Hubby watches sometimes and they also show Big Valley, and more.

But, without my Grandfather sitting there enforcing the silence with his Iron Will it just isn't the same. He's been gone now 35 years.
