...show offers up some great lines, like when Mrs. Bumiller tries to offer the usual motherly consolation "wait until next year" to her depressed daughter, and Charlene points out that she's already a senior. The duo earned their three ovations opening night with their flawless ear for the idiosyncrasies of the 20 townsfolk they portray with not only versatility, but amazing speed...
...corner Quebec's French-Canadian market (Joshua was made and expected to flourish in Montreal) by casting Gabrielle Lazure, a French-Canadian starlet, in the lead role of Joshua's whitebread bedmate. This idea backfired, however, because the real Lazure has a strong accent, immediately conspicuous to the Montreal ear.

...woman show Appearing Nitely. Both that comic montage and The Search for Signs were written and directed by Jane Wagner, who also collaborated with Tomlin on three Grammy-nominated record albums, four Emmy-honored TV specials and the film The Incredible Shrinking Woman.

It is because Pete Rose has hit." Rose did not get his milestone hit until the following night, so the President, uninterrupted, went on to tell stories about his ranch, his old friend Jimmy Stewart...
During a practice firing, announced by an ear-shattering klaxon that called the 158-man crew to battle stations, Farmer assumed his post in front of the sub's dual periscopes. As crewmen ticked off information about bearing and depth, the captain verified each reading and repeated in a low but firm voice, "I agree." Then, checking a console screen to his left that showed the status of his 24 weapons, he ordered, "Make missiles ready." In the missile control center one deck below, Weapons Officer Lieut. John Hardenbergh worked at two other consoles that control the silos...
