Bonus video! Bette Davis' weird interactions with the All in the Family cast

Hi Matt, It seems like your end credits are starting to overlap. I noticed it also in the bonus video before this one..

Shari Lewis video sounds wholesome af

By all means, please bring on the Shari Lewis content!

This is weirdly obscure, but the first time I heard the "What a dump!" line was in the "101 Dalmatians: Animated Storybook" video game, spoken by Cruella De Vil naturally (2:15 in this playthrough video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj1G0262Oeg&list=PLrI0z8DbAq9vKtcTdwFScczjND1Ww5Sln&index=5). Glad you're giving "Some Like It Hot" it's own video after having it pop up in so many others. My college buddy's cousin is actually in the ensemble for the Broadway show, so I can't wait to see you compare and contrast the two.

Any time you can work in not just one but two Bette Davis scenes, that is a good video! You should have gone for the trifecta of her early career “bad girl” quotable lines by including the “And after ya kissed me, I always used to wipe my mouth! Wipe my mouth!” from Of Human Bondage to go along with those from Cabin in the Cotton and Beyond the Forest.

Matt, on Some Like it Hot, did you see the Broadway show? I saw it on New Year's Day and it was excellent. Also, all those talk of dolls with or without genitalia reminds me of the Barbie movie, which I am sure you saw by now and hopefully you can do a video on down the road.

Great video, Matt. Regarding Joey’s sex, I’m betting they were hoping to avoid a circumcision episode (they had one). I think it was also generally easier to hide a naked girl baby’s genitalia, vs a boy’s, and they didn’t want to get into fights with Norman about that. Because the series was a three camera sitcom, the scenes have a fluidity to them and if little Joey’s little Joey became apparent in the middle of a scene, they’d have a problem editing it out later. All supposition. I think Norman was a little bit of a mystery to the suits and they weren’t sure what he might do next. If the show didn’t make them so much money, I have no doubt they would have canned Norman’s show without hesitation. I don’t think MTM or Carol Burnett gave them nearly as much trouble.

But you didn't answer the question posed in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe?". What movie did Bette Davis say What a Dump in?

On Jean Stapleton and her possibly being typecast--I remember as a child seeing her TV movie Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady of the World, made after she left All in the Family. And a few year's later she turned down Murder She Wrote. In that Archive of AmericanTelevision interview she doesn't say a lot about the pilot script, but said she didn't understand it. (Maybe she found it corny, or not topical?) William Link comments on her as CBS's choice for Jessica Fletcher, and he seemed irritated that she didn't "understand" the script--but he was delighted to be able to get Angela Lansbury. And he says Lansbury had a meeting at CBS about MSW and a meeting at NBC to star in Norman Lear's new sitcom! And thank goodness, she chose MSW. (Meanwhile, about the time MSW began, Jean Stapleton had 2 guest appearances on Scarecrow and Mrs King as a spy, and then in 1986 played another mystery novelist, Ariadne Oliver, in the Peter Ustinov Hercule Poirot movie Halloween Party. CBS had licensed several Agatha Christie novels for Sunday night movies of the week.)
