[QUOTE=Shecky] Wasn’t it Laurel and Hardy who, when one had a debilitating stroke leaving him speechless, the other came by to chat. After an hour of silence, the daughter opened the door and saw the two of them communicating with pantomime? [/QUOTE] Or maybe Moe and Curley after Curley had a stroke? (Just a guess) ---

I dunno… Would I feel safer playing with dynamite with Jamie supervising or Adam? BTW Did you see their cameo on CSI? ---

Supposedly Joey and Johnny Ramone didn’t get along for many years during their musical career. Johnny stole and married Joey’s girlfriend, and they were opposed politically. I’ve heard (on the net, so buyer beware) that they didn’t really speak to each other for a good number of years. I guess they just knew that this was the job they could get that would make them good money, and they weren’t willing to give that up to get away from each other, unlike so many other “artistic” types. ---

I too had always just assumed they were boyfriends. Their particular brand of arguing and standoffishness looks a lot more like flirting to me. ---

Adam’s wife was on an episode once - the one where he was trying to climb the outside of a building using suction cups - she kissed him good luck, and she was totally hot. But Jamie’s family has never even been mentioned, though I read in an interview that he’s married. ---

I wasn’t exactly implying “heterosexual marriage means not homosexual” so much as “marriage and no other evidence to the contrary beyond pure invention means there’s no reason to think they are anything other than heterosexual work colleagues.” I thought Doug Henning was just a weird hippy magician. I hadn’t heard anything about him being gay. ---

Doug Henning was gayer than an explosion in a glitter factory. ---

I don’t think Jamie is gay at all. Never got that vibe from him. ---

[QUOTE=Dangerosa] Ebert has really gone out of his way to say he and Siskel actually became good friends - though I don’t think they started that way, and there were always rumors that they didn’t get along. [/QUOTE] 'Struth. [Here](http://www.spike.com/video/siskel-vs-ebert/2685717) is some fantastic candid footage of Siskel and Ebert being bitches. And, since this thread is wandering all over the place anyway, I might mention that the cast of Star Trek: TNG had probably the best relationships of any television show of the time; apart from the occasional Patrick Stewart grumpiness, all of the regulars were good friends on and off set.
