A weird mob of celebrities. Imagine Dwight Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces in Europe WW2, President of USA for 8 years and now stuck in with a mob of actors and singers from showbiz except for a man who hits rubber balls about a field and the founder of Communism in China, who could easily link arms with Hitler and Stalin. Is this where the future lies?
"The Hokey Pokey" is a translation of "The Great Leap Forward," originally written to illustrate the principles of dialectical materialism. That is, in fact, what it's all about.
I guessed one of the ones I didn't recognise might well be Lawrence Welk, whose name I only know through Richard Pryor. Unfortunately, I assumed it was spelt Whelk!
Based on their tenures as leaders of their countries, maybe. But Eisenhower led the D-Day invasion and the defeat of the Nazis. European and perhaps even American history would be very different if the Nazis won the war.
He didn't lead either. The rest of the allies had been fighting the Nazis for over two years before the US could be bothered because their own country had come under attack from Japan
Born in the late 70s and got them all (thank you Nick at Nite for Donna Reed!). Does her show come on in syndication any longer? It's sad how few people got her.
Sad to see Jackie Gleason so low. the Honeymooners was a wonderful show that still holds up today. I used to watch reruns in the 1980s and thought it was as good or better that some of the great TV comedies of the 1980s .
