- when you hear their final words, on how they feel about life. I have to say,
- it's lucky for us, that Barbara dipped into the past, in presenting her interview

- footage of her children on a big projection screen in her living room. As they

- blame. Overall, an exceptional interview!

- Ritter" and "Ruth Buzzi." Both of which, raise the level of comedy to a
- new level! Seeing John and Lucy working together is absolutely hilarious!
- Neither one of them means for these little "accidents" to happen, but they
- do! The show is filled with plenty of laughs, pratfalls, and good
-
- for taking the time to read through these rather lengthy descriptions!
- I know it seems rather "incredible" to believe!
- All these moments from the past.
- Moments that you might have missed recording.
- And those that you have only heard about!
Throughout the years, I've shared many of these clips from my collection
- with my friends, and they have always been astounded by all the appearances
- that I was able to record. To ensure the highest quality possible, I use a "dual deck"
- vcr when I'm sharing any of these moments from my collection.
- I look forward to hearing from you!
