Or at least be sentenced to watch 27 hours of syndie $25K Pyramid without bathroom breaks.

(Though, I'd do that, if issued Depends.

Actually, that was a BBC show from the mid '70s.

And that didn't have everyone's favorite "Insider" host on it, either.  

I would've liked to have seen "Doctor in the House," since it was the first Britcom many of us Americans got to see way back in 1971.  And "No Honestly" was a little charmer with a great theme song if you like lightweight pop sung by wispy-voiced female singers, as I do sometimes (whatever happened to Lynsey de Paul?).  After the first episode, WTTW in Chicago always started it up after the LWT logo.  Bastards.

ObGameShow:  Many "Doctor in the House" eps were written by Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie of the Goodies and "I'm Sorry, I Haven't a Clue."  And I have reason to believe that Score did the theme music for "Doctor in the House," as a stock library piece.

I don't take out my anger publicly.

Jason, I'd like to have a word with you in the "Thousand Dollar Bee" room...

The LWT logo preceding the show follows the norm of almost all ITV companies through 1988, where the producing companies would identify themselves at the start of the show. Thames, of course, being the most popular of the introductory logos.

 Now, why would you get so mad about him dissing Dick Clark?

Aha, a loophole!  All Jason has to say is that he thinks Donny Osmond was a better Pyramid host than Dick Clark and all is forgiven!

(Yeah, right...)

Would you believe I simply forgot about Cullen's version?  I'm only human, you know.  But since I'm not getting out of this mess that easily...well, Osmond adds better than Clark.
