Anyone else watching Tweety-the-tuba tonight
think that with a blond wig and some makeup, Alan Alda could play Tweety in a fictional television show about a loudmouth putz who has more hangups than Bell Telephone ever did?

It was striking...hard to find a photo of Tweety with that shit-eating-grin on his face but here goes...

2. I seen the ending and I have a lot of respect for Alan Alda
maybe he didn't do anything I don't know but he helped to put a face on the hideousness of war in mash

3. I wasn't disrespecting Alda,
I simply said that he could play Tweety in a fictional TV show.

Who doens't 'like' Alan Alda, except for far RWers?

4. I dunno -- he seemed a bit less committed than I remember him

He seems to be "mellowing" with age, maybe too much for my taste.

6. The whole country has moved to the Right...
Goldwater couldn't be nominated by the Dems these days...he would be considered too outspoken and libertarian/lefty with respect to Reproductive rights among other things.

just kidding of course, but not all that much...

:hi:

7. As Alda mellows, Jane Fonda gets herself back out there ...
Guess aging does different things to different people. I would have thought Alda would have "stayed in the fight" but ... I agree with him about wanting to stick to what he feels he does best.

8. Women get more radical with age.........
Hell, my formerly right wing mother throws slippers and invective at the tube these days. It's kind of amusing....

5. I adore Alan Alda.... I need to buy his book, I think
But, he's a fine actor (minus a few bad movies). I'm sure he could play the tweeter.
