"Master-craftsman" A craftsman knows how (H-O-W) to MAKE it fit. Square peg, round whole? No problem. Once the craftsman is done shaving off those angles, that peg will fit perfectly, because it is no longer a square peg. Someone here once said four crucified is just an illustration of how it all fits together. Mathematically. Scientifically. Like a hand in a glove. It is an illustration alright. If you don't like what the text plainly says, because it doesn't conform your presuppositions, you can just change how the text interprets itself and, voila! It now says whatever you need it to say.

You are correct. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. Obviously, the long-running franchises have had many opportunities to make the World Series. Even the Cubs have done it at least three times. Still, even more recent franchises like Florida, Arizona, Toronto, etc., have made it. The Mariners, not yet. George

In recent memory, the Seattle Mariners have been near the top of their division, and now, making the post-season regularly. I'm trying to think back whether they've been to the World Series yet or not? This year, they came close. I don't think they made it to the World Series in their Griffey Jr. or Edgar Martinez period, so, I'm going with the Seattle Mariners.

I consider your heathen opinion! Having finally been released from my twi-brain prison, now it's clear to me that teachings like this are almost folly. All it did was help support unsuspecting sheep falling into the "VPW is a great master-craftsman of the Verd". LOL Seriously, the historical value is only one cross. Walk into any church today especially traditional roman catholic and only one crucifix is displayed for a solemn memorial.

One actor was the star of three shows, The first one had a different title in the US from its title in the UK. The second one had the same title in both the US and UK, and it was the US title of the first show. The third was never officially called a sequel to the second, but it was, for all intents and purposes. All remaining clues pertain to the third show. Throughout the show, the star is menaced by "Rover" (not a dog). The Butler (played by Maltese actor Angelo Muscat) never speaks, and appears in more episodes than anyone else, other than the star. The show was filmed in the North Wales resort village of Portmeirion over the course of a year. The star was inspired to film his series there after filming a couple of the first show episodes in the village. The building in Portmeirion shown as the star's house in the series became a gift shop selling show-related merchandise. Name the third show. For extra credit, name the other two. George

Okay, then... Which is the only current MLB franchise which has not yet been in a World Series? George

Indeed, we do. George

Since "Edith" appears, it can't be a sequel or spinoff series, so we have "ALL IN THE FAMILY."

"Opening dialog" is debatable, but it is the correct title, and the correct artist. So, CORRECT!

Welcome, Edgar. Hope you stick around. My son is PDD-NOS. You're safe here.

The wine vat and the chocolates line are episodes I remember, but was memorable about those episodes was the visuals, not the dialogue. Without "Babalu!" I wouldn't have gotten it. "Awww, Geez, Edith! Stifle!" George

No. Wrong decade, wrong band. I usually try not to post much past 1985.

The first was when the Ricardos wanted to be let out of their lease, and became obnoxious tenants. Ricky did a band rehearsal in the living room. (The Mertzes sold tickets to it.) When the Mertzes got home, Lucy recommended this dance- the Mexican Hat Dance. Between the 12-piece band and the crowd doing the stomps, the Mertzes ended up with part of the ceiling falling on them. One episode had Lucy being superstitious and into numerology. She blew a deal for Ricky because it was a bad day for his number. She contacted the client, and found out he was also into all of that, and was looking to have a seance performed. Lucy arranged for Ethel to conduct a phony seance in their living room. For a moment. Fred pretended Ethel's medium's name was "Rhea." Lucy pretended to have all sorts of problems to get sympathy. When Ricky caught her, he had a "doctor" (actor Hal Marsh) show up and examine her. She had a fatal illness- the gol-bloots, which travels on the hind legs of the booshoo bird. She should be fine as long as she doesn't turn green.... The gang of 4 got a freezer, and bought meat wholesale. They knew how big a side of pork was (half a pig.) So, they ordered 2 sides (that is, one entire cow's worth of meat.) They tried to sell some of the meat to people to make up some of the money. In fairness, they saved a lot by buying the meat wholesale, but it was a LOT of money to drop at once, even if it was an entire year's worth of meat. The boys and the girls traded places to see who had it harder. The boys cooked and cleaned, the women went to work. Ricky planned to make chicken and rice, and have Fred bake a cake for dessert. Fred didn't seem to know much about rice. Meanwhile, the girls went to work at the factory, wrapping chocolates on an assembly line. During a trip to Europe, a director wanted Lucy for a movie he was working on, called "Bitter Grapes." She decided to go work in a wine vineyard to learn about the role, and ended up stained purple after a fight with anoither worker in the wine vat. But the director had wanted her to play a TOURIST. Since she was stained purple and filming starts tomorrow, he asked Ethel to play the tourist. If you know the series, any number of those episodes will ring a bell... The Mertzes with a chandelier around their necks, the phony seance to contact Tilly, Lucy and the fake diagnosis, Lucy and Ethel with a pram in a butcher's shop, selling to the customers, the ill-fated cooking or the girls working on the assembly line, Lucy fighting in the wine vat.

That's it. A lot of those were from famous episodes.
