Name that TV Show

I'm pretty sure Mrs. Howell(Lovey) said that,so I'm going to toss in a new one.

"I gotta kill that boy, I just gotta!"

Bonus clue:"Now cut that out!"

Dobie Gillis

quote one-Dobie's father about 3 times an episode

quote two-Dobie reacting to Zelda 'scrinching' her face at him-which he reflexively does in return

[waysider]

You betcha!

Now if you will excuse me I have to catch the early show over at The Bijou.

(Their playing "The Monster That Devoured Cleveland")

[hiway29]

"Time, time, time. There's time enough at last".

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Sounds like the Twilight Zone episode about the watch that could stop time.

George

[hiway29]

it is the Twilight Zone- but not that episode

think of the Penguin

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Okay. Burgess Meredith loves to read. Some sort of catastrophe happens (nuclear attack?) while he's in a library basement, or something. He comes out, the only one (on earth?) alive, with "all the time in the world" to read his precious books. Then he breaks his glasses.

George

[hiway29]

that's it, George

[GeorgeStGeorge]

There are about five Twilight Zone episodes I remember fairly well, and that was one of them.

"It's colder than a witch's -- uh -- elbow in here, Howard!"

let's see-which Howard are we talking about here ?

Howard Cunningham on Happy Days ? The joke seems a bit 'risque' for that show.

Howard Borden on the Bob Newhart Show ? Could be-that sounds like a Newhart stutter

Howard Stern on the E Show? Nah

I'm guessing Howard Borden-and I'm guessing it's from the episode where Bob and Emily get locked in the basement

[GeorgeStGeorge]

No to all. If it helps, Howard is the person's real name.

George

[WordWolf]

Then it's not Happy Days, either-Tom Bosley is not a Howard.

(Unless he chose the stage name "Tom Bosley",

which would run counter to this being a clue.)

[wasway]

Coach

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Still no

Thsi will make it pretty easy:

"Are you ready to RUMBLE?"

George

[wasway]

oh shoot its howrd Cosell

ABCMNF

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Indeed. The first quote was from Alex Karras during a broadcast from Detroit or Green Bay. He cleverly caught himself in mid-cliche. Of course, it wouldn't raise an eyebrow today.

Go, Wasway!

George

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Uhh.. Wasway?

George

[GeorgeStGeorge]

All right, then. Here's another one (not too hard, I think):

"I ain't gettin' on no plane!"

George

[hiway29]

Granny on Beverly Hillbillies ?

[GeorgeStGeorge]

While I can't rule out that Granny might have said that at one point, that's not the show I have in mind. This line (or a variant of it) was used a number of times on my intended show.

George

[Tom Strange]

Sanford and Son?

[WordWolf]

No,

that's BA Baracus from the "A-Team."

They always had to trick him to get on a plane,

usually by drugging him, occasionally by hypnosis ("Eclipse!") or something else.

[hiway29]

ah-I never watched 'the A team"-not once

was I missing something ?

[Raf]

Good, goofy fun.
