Podcast appearances and mentions of Barbara Eden

Book Vs Movie: “Harper Valley PTA"The 1968 Song Vs the 1978 Movie (really!)(It's one of our favorite episodes from the past!) The song was written by Tom T. Hall and performed by country singer Jeannie C. Riley in 1968. The story about a “widowed bride” who is slut-shamed by her daughter's junior high school PTA (Parents Teachers Advisory) and gives a takedown at a meeting that is spectacular in its shade and incisiveness was one of the first feminist anthems and managed to become a number one hit in the U.S. on both the pop and country charts. (Past episode, Dolly Parton did the same in 1980 for 9 to 5!)The 1978 movie is an R-rated cuckoo bananas production starring Barbara Eden (a stone-cold fox!) as Stella Johnson, who exacts a Porky's style revenge on the local yokels who dare to take her on. She is also wooed by an equally sexy Ronny Cox and is teamed up with Nanette Fabray in this film that played in drive-in theaters in 1978 and made millions.  It features nudity, wrap dresses, elephants, revenge porn, makeovers, and a helicopter proposal.  So, between the song and the movie--which did we prefer?

This week on It Was a Thing on TV   First, the year is 1989 and the Max Headroom fad, for the most part, has come and gone.  Next up for Matt Frewer is a comedy where laughter is sometimes the best medicine.  Doctor Doctor ran two abbreviated seasons, followed by a full final season.  The show tackled some very sensitive yet timely topics during its run including AIDS and homophobia, but went away quietly after a ratings nosedive.   Then, in 1968, the song Harper Valley PTA was a number one hit for Jeannie C. Riley.  In 1978, the song was the inspiration for a movie with the same title, starring Barbara Eden.  Three years later, this show came into being with Eden at the helm, about the battles Eden's character had with the PTA of a fictional Ohio town called Harper Valley.     Follow us at all our socials via our Linktree page at linktr.ee/itwasathingontv    Timestamps 0:31 - Doctor Doctor (Episode 517) 1:04:21 - Harper Valley PTA (Episode 518)

Seven more movie reviews, let's go! Gee this is simply not the best batch. I said it.
Today we start with (The Feminist and the Fuzz 1971) Barbara Eden stars with the good Morning America guy in this wacky film with some serious ideas that they bring into America's living room, giving us the representation, and radical crumb many were literally dying for, but you just, as always knew they were gonna mainstream a few steps back at the end, the price that you knew you were gonna pay. I remember that made for TV movie, the day my kid went punk, that came out just as me and three other 16 year olds started the first ever punk band in our suburban catholic town, boy was that film a let down. I'd personally say that it's worth a watch. It's on you tube, watch it then pop back and listen hmmmmmmm, maybe.
Next is (Elvis on tour 1972). It looks and sounds cool. There is just a lot of Elvis music here, and I could use more interviews. Also I'm sure that the filmmakers must of felt quite bound and gagged about really reporting what the saw and heard, at least in my head cannon it seems that way. The famous rock story of Elvis getting denied his prescription at a pharmacy on the road because a sympathetic pharmacist saw the massive addiction of Elvis to pills, and Elvis's manager simply buying the pharmacy, is NOT here, how could it be. But I am sure it was all seen. Even with the puff piece attitude of this publicity thing you can see it pretty dang well.
Next today we move on to (Snoopy come home 1972) This is the first of the trilogy of Charlie Brown feature films that were going to be covering for the pod, and the second in the film series after 1969's A boy named Charlie Brown. Look this is great and our discussion is fabulous I'm sure, I've seen this movie several times in my life SO it's more than ok that I fell asleep this time. Those other two lovelies can pick up my slack. There's dog and bird discrimination for Snoopy and Woodstock as they travel to visit a sick friend.
Next is (Charlie Varrick 1973) and Garak from deep space 9 is here. Garak plays Harman Sullivan, a hot head bank robber who like Veruka Salt, wants it all now. We also gots Joe don Baker, Felicia Farr, and the coach of the bad news bears himself Walter Matthau. Lots of great characters here to including the dean from Animal House, in this gritty great stock 70's movie where, uh oh the bank robbers ripped off the mob. Whatever will they do? Let's talk talk talk about it shall we.
Onward to (3 days of the Condor) Nows here's a popular 70's political thriller that your decade under the influence would love to time machine change a bit of. I love Robert Redford, he's cute, thoughtful and chooses rad projects, even now. See (The company you keep 2012) where he plays a former Weather Underground activist. But here in Condor he makes this icky decision to not just hand the amazing force of Faye Dunaway the dang gun after they get to her pad. Just pisses me off ok. Great directing and cinematography here. Would you like to know more.
(The Hindenburg 1975) is up to bat now and let's just say that for me….George C Scott does NOT George C Scott enough, and the super cool Anne Bancroft is very under used, watch Turning point and Garbo speaks to compensate. The dick from Real Genius and Ghostbusters is good here, and I don't hate this, wait, the amazing director Robert Wise is also under represented here. ACK,,,,,,,, moving on finally to wrap this poop up with (Across the great divide 1976) Hey this is the one with the 2 kids, I dig this one. We reviewed the Sea Gypsies with Robert Logan a bit ago, and I was very surprised that he was in about 6 nature movies in the 70's. What is going on world. This one is waaaaay better than what's to come in my opinion.
Ok I'm done, thank you very much for listening, please subscribe and give us some stars, and mayhems a sweet or not sweet review, it super helps, thanks.

It had been about 10 to 15 years since I last listened to what's popular in Christian Music. That changed this week when I typed "Billboard Christian Top Songs" into Google, and there on the first page of the search results was a weblink from the K-LOVE Staff from a year ago. At the top of that list were the following songs: "You Say" by Lauren Daigle "Holy Water" by We The Kingdom "The Blessing" (LIVE) by Kari Jobe, Cody Carnes & Elevation Worship "Follow God" by Kanye West "There Was Jesus" by Zach Williams & Dolly Parton Curious, I listened to all of these top five, and some of several more on the list besides. And I watched the music videos K-LOVE Staff embedded helpfully in the page. And thus I came to some awareness of what topped the Billboard Christian Music Charts for 2020. Besides wondering just a little bit whether a track from Barbara Eden could have landed the top spot on this list, supposing she had recorded an ostensibly Christian single and her heyday had been today rather than 1965, I found listening to and reading the lyrics to these songs to be revealing about where we're at. There is an awful lot of self-talk to do with self-esteem and self-image in these tracks. And while that may not be all bad, the dose makes the poison. Or so the old adage goes. And yet on that point, the dose has a lot to do with what else is in the mix. On some of these tracks, there is exactly one explicit mention of God throughout. Otherwise, you have to take their word for it that they're talking about the Deity, much less the particular God of the Bible and of the Christian faith. Perhaps this makes me sound stodgy. I have been reading a lot of theology as of late, becoming more aware of what I didn't know I didn't know on that subject. It could also be that I've been studying the historic creeds of the faith in recent weeks, and thinking long and hard about how specific and precise our forebearers in Church History were about how and where they chose to derive their comfort and encouragement. But really, now. Suppose we read these straight without any of the chaser of strong emotion. Set aside the light shows and fog machines, or Steven Furtick pacing around the stage like a wild lion defending his territory, or shots of pretty girls at beautiful cabins in the woods. Consider where the focus is in a lot of these tracks, and whether the ratio of doctrinal substance to therapeutic mantras amounts to so much nutrition as magical deliciousness of the Lucky Charms variety. I like marshmallow cereal as much as the next guy. But it's hardly the breakfast of champions when you're planning to go do meaningful work - unless, that is, the meaningful work is appealing to a certain feel-good Zeitgeist, high on emotion and low on objective truth, which demands to be coddled. Again, as I said, I may just be getting cranky as I get older. But I'm not even saying the Christian music was so much better back in my day, when I was the teen or 20-something in the audience at the concert and this would have been Pillar or Newsboys or Relient K we were listening to. Nevertheless, I reckon there must be some sense in which Pop Christianity in the U.S. could have either developed or else devolved in the last 15-years if it's possible I have. So I read the lyrics to these songs, and watched their music videos, and I read the write-ups from the K-LOVE Staff, and I am struck by how much more focused on our feelings we at least seem to be compared with, let's say, the old hymn writers of centuries past. And I don't mean to complain, but I do harbor a growing concern that our focus leaves us very vulnerable to being led astray by sentiment and spectacle, and comforted by half-truths. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/support

Book Vs Movie: “Harper Valley PTA” The 1968 Song Vs the 1978 Movie (really!) Ever since the pandemic began, we decided to create a new show each week (rather than biweekly which has been our habit for over six years now) the sources of adaptations have expanded to magazines, novellas, and songs. You would assume a shorter source would make for shorter episodes but, they can bring on just as much of a discussion as a novel.  This brings us to today's subject of our podcast--Harper Valley PTA. The song was written by Tom. T. Hall and performed by country singer Jeannie C. Riley in 1968. The story about a “widowed bride” who is slut-shamed by her daughter's junior high school PTA (Parents Teachers Advisory) and gives a takedown at a meeting that is spectacular in its shade and incisiveness was one of the first feminist anthems and managed to become a number one hit in the U.S. on both the pop and country charts. (Past episode Dolly Parton did the same in 1980 for 9 to 5!) The 1978 movie is an R-rated cuckoo bananas production starring Barbara Eden (a stone-cold fox!) as Stella Johnson who exacts a Porky's style revenge on the local yokels who dare to take her on. She also is wooed by an equally sexy Ronny Cox and is teamed up with Nanette Fabray in this film that played in drive-in theaters in 1978 and made millions.  It features nudity, wrap dresses, elephants, revenge porn, makeovers, and a helicopter proposal.  So between the song and the movie--which did we prefer? Have a listen and find out!  In this ep the Margos discuss: The origin of the song and famous recordings The unusual release of the movie  1970s feminism   The cast: Barbara Eden (Stella Johnson, ) Ronny Cox (Willis Newton,) Nanette Fabray (Alice Finley,) Louis Nye (Kirby Baker,) Audrey Christie (Flora Simpson Reilly,) John Fielder (Bobby Taylor,) and Susan Swift (Dee Johnson.)  Clips used: Harper Valley PTA (Jeannie C.

Thomas Mann, the winner of the 1929 Nobel Prize in Literature, said, “A writer is somebody for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people.” I agree with Thomas Mann. Having logged more than 39,000 hours of writing during the past 30 years, I can say with confidence that no sane person fights quite so fiercely or so long to find exactly the right word as does the writer. And to hear a word used inappropriately causes the ear to itch like a mosquito bite. My warm heart overflows with hope that you will find the next few paragraphs to be instructive, insightful, and illuminating, but my cold and calculating mind suspects that you will find these paragraphs to be mildly comical, at best. If you were to choose to quit reading right now, I would understand. Oh, my. You're still here. I suppose I should begin. I was contemplating my admiration of 86-year-old Carol Burnett when I realized that she is probably the most active and vibrant of the female television stars of the late 1960's. When I Googled “female television stars of the 1960s” I was surprised to see that virtually every website included not just the female television stars, but the female movie stars, as well. “Is there a difference?” you ask. Yes, there is a difference. Television stars are famous for their television shows. Movie stars are famous for their movies. And sex symbols are famous for their sex appeal. Famous sex symbols of that era include Barbara Eden in “I Dream of Jeannie,” and Donna Douglas as Ellie Mae Clampett in “The Beverly Hillbillies,” who served as the prototype for another hillbilly sex symbol, Daisy Duke, played by Catherine Bach eight years later on “The Dukes of Hazzard.” Television Star, Movie Star, and Sex Symbol are three different designations, although it is possible for one person to be all three. I confess that I am equally distressed by the rampant misuse of the word, “mentor.” People often tell me about their “mentors,” and then proceed to list people whose work influenced and inspired them, even though none of those “mentors” interacted with them directly, or even knew that they were alive. If we want to be accurate, we will say that the work of such a person influenced us and inspired us, but we will not go so far as to call them our “mentor.” If a person is your mentor, you are their apprentice, their protégé. A person is your mentor when they take an interest in you and devote a meaningful amount of time and energy into your future. Lucille Ball did far more than influence and inspire Carol Burnett. She actively mentored Carol until April 26, 1989. On Carol Burnett's 56th birthday, she woke up to hear the news that her longtime friend and mentor, Lucille Ball, had died unexpectedly. Carol was devastated. Several hours later, there was a knock on her door. Carol Burnett opened the door to see a delivery man holding a huge bouquet of flowers with a note that said, “Happy Birthday, Kid. Love, Lucy.” Thirty years later, Carol cannot speak of it without crying. Roy H. Williams
