Dad lets me drive slow on the driveway every Saturday. Course the seats were originally brown leather. Now they're a pitiful red. QANTAS. QANTAS never crashed.

He seem so, doesn't he George? Yes. He was a cheerleader. The others were FDR, George W, and Ronald Reagan and another who you wouldn't figure would be a cheerleader but was Dwight D Eisenhower. Presidential trivia is fascinating isn't it, well, this one not so much. But I noticed that average height of U.S. presidents is 5' 11 in.. There hasn't been a president elected below that height since Jimmie Carter at 5' 9.5 inches who still in 1976 was an inch and a half taller than the average male. We like our presidents tall, and in long knickers stockings doing cartwheels. You're up.

17th corps, here!

thank you!

Thank you, Lizzy! It's good to be here.

OK, how about FDR? Seems unlikely, but we've ruled out almost everyone in the first half of the 20th century. George

No, they were taller than him.

Of course. George

Let's try Truman, then. George

Bev Hillbillies?

Yes, he was the one exception I did, but that was a bit of an ambiguous statement. They were U.S presidents in the early to mid-20th century, but were cheerleaders much earlier than that, circa 1903-1930. George will you try not to get to fussy about that, you may make me feel like HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey... such as, " Look George, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over". So the score is George one and Raf one. I'm looking for two, but one more from the others that have not been named yet to win the round. Come on now boys, can we have a sense of humor about this. This is America. Home of the brave and Land of the free. Why so matter of fact? Yes, it matters, but can we just play along and have some fun while doing it? So, George was correct, George. I get the sense that you're proofreading me George. Is that the teacher in you? So, I made an ambiguous statement about the early 20th c. presidents. They would all be way over 100 years old now if they were alive. In fact, the other two were born in the 19th c. Does that help George? "I love this ground rush sheit man".

I could see GW Bush as a cheerleader, but Human said that Reagan was one and [the other] three were in the early 20th Century. George

The original title for this series was "Please Stand By," but because the Cuban Missile Crisis had happened less than a year earlier, executives thought it might make people fearful of an air raid. As a reference to this, when this show would cut to a commercial, the Control Voice said, "Please stand by." When the series finale, The Probe (1965), was originally aired, a live announcer spoke over the Control Voice's closing statement about returning "next week at this same time." The live announcer stated that The King Family Show would be seen "next week in this time period." The regular Control Voice closing for The Probe (1965) was heard only in re-runs. Gene Roddenberry was a big fan of the series, being a regular visitor to the set. He would use many of the crew, cast, costumes, and props on Star Trek. George

"Granny, why are you making soap in the cement pond? We can buy it at the store!" "Store-bought soap? STORE-BOUGHT SOAP?? How long do you think 64 million dollars will last if we use STORE-BOUGHT SOAP??" George

The incredible hulk, but I'll spot you that one

The Hulk? George

Early 20th century would probably limit the selection to Teddy Roosevelt to FDR. I think we can rule out Taft. Having already eliminated TR, Coolidge, and Hoover, let's try Harding and Wilson? George

No idea. George

Gilligan's Island. "Human interest stories do not make the front page." (Not a giveaway quote, but obviously one of my favorite). *** "It's my job to protect her. Don't make me angry!"

You got one. Man, I would pay to see Herbert Hoover in a cheerleading uniform. That would have been something to see. Reagan was a cheerleader.

Is this Billy Joel?

More lines. "97X, bam! The future of rock 'n' roll. 97X, bam! The future of rock 'n' roll. 97X, bam! The future of rock 'n' roll". "Here I am, goin' to Florida, my leg hurts, my butt hurts, my chest hurts, my face hurts, and like that ain't enough, I gotta pee all over myself".

I suppose it should have been obvious that cartoons would be as easy to make in a pandemic as without one, but it didn't really occur to me. And, uh, I hope you had a feliz cumpleanos. George
