The quote marks for the name are very appropriate. 😃 This for me, because I don’t watch Mad Men. I know have I done this many times but am drawing a complete blank to come up with any examples. ---

The quote marks for the name are very appropriate. 😃 In the episode “Trash”, Mal calls her…um, I’ll think of it…it’s right on the tip of my tongue… oh, yeah. **YoSaffBridge** , combining the three names he’s heard her call herself. He knew her as Saffron, his buddy who was married to her knew her as Bridget, and the husband she tried to steal the gun from knew her as Yolanda. 😃 ---

> [@Cartoonacy](#): > > A few years back, I was watching reruns of _The Magician,_ Bill Bixby’s early 1970s TV series, and was surprised to see a very young Mark Hamill in one episode. You’ve got access to The Magician? Where/How? I remember seeing a Biography special epidose on Bixby. They completely failed to mention that little series that came after Courtship of Eddie’s Father and before The Hulk. For that matter, the kid who played Eddie was in an early episode of Kung Fu around that time, as well. ---

Okay, sorry, but I’ve hogged three sequential posts on a fading thread. Here I’ll one-up myself by posting two non-related offerings… The whacko-comedian Jim Carrey starts out Clint Eastwood’s The Dead Pool in a very non-funy role and provides almost decent acting. I actually thought he was better when not trying to be a funny jerk. * * * David Carradine’s Kung Fu TV series had tons of formerly-famous and to-be-famous-later actors breezing through the episodes: Sondra Locke, Harrison Ford, other Carradines, William Shatner, Jodie Foster, et al. I kinda think that might have been part of its schtick – sorta like The Love Boat or Fantasy Island seemed to draw off the “Hey, you’re not starring in anything lately; want a bit part?” list.
