I just got back from the Museum of Radio and Televison. Bernadette is so cute on Name That Tune! I loved when she kept insisting that the song was Horses. I really liked White Christmas too.

I've heard a little about that show, but never actually seen it. Rose, could you give some further description? I'd love to learn more.

Karen do you mean White Christmas or Name That Tune or both?

I meant Name That Tune with Bernadette as a contestant. Is White Christmas something I should know about, other than an Irving Berlin song and a Bing Crosby movie?

Karen - see the way I see it is that when you come west for the pilgrimage to Bethlehem (watch for the Star), you might as well swing by NYC, visit the Museum of TV and see a show or two!

Wouldn't that be lovely?

I'll see what my budget will accomodate. By the way, I'll be coming east, not west.

Well first the host introduced Bernadette and the other contestant named Guss. Then he asked Bernadette what she wanted to do when she grew up and she said that she wanted to be a baton twirler because she could twirl the baton once but she had to be able to twirl it a lot of times. Then he asked her how many times she could twirlt he baton and she said once and he asked her how many times she wanted to be able to twirl the baton and she said two thousand hundered times. Then he asked her what her father did and she said that he had a bread store. The host wanted to know if her father was a barker and she kind of shrugged. Then he asked her what she would do with all the money she won and she said that her father had a grocery store and then she shook her head no and said that he used to have a grocery store but now he had a bread store and that he would buy food. And the host asked again what she would do with the money and Bernadette said I just told you that. Then the game started. It was really cute. Bernadette got so excited when she knew the song she ran up to the host and shouted the name of it. She missed one song and said it was The Horses and then kept playing and insisted that Pistol Packin' Mama was Horses. She looked really disappointed when she lost that one.


The White Christmas is a show Bernadette did when she was a child. I'd say that she looked around 9 or 10 but I'm really not sure. She played an orphan. She was with a lot of other children and her acting really stood out. She had to be angry in some scenes and she made a face that she used in Gypsy which was really interesting to see. There are some other really great apperances there too. Some Johnny Carson shows that she was a guest on and some other stuff.

Oh, okay, White Christmas was the Hallmark Hall of Fame I've heard about. I didn't know that was the title. Thanks a lot, Rose. Really appreciate that.

I just re-read my post - it is evidend that I'm not up on my geography! Duh - yes, east not west, unless you're taking the really long route a la the 3 kings to Bethlehem. I was too high last night from seeing Dirty Rotten Scoundrels for the 4th time - it just keeps getting better and better everytime I see it.

I believe the Hallmark Hall of Fame program was called The Christmas Tree not White Christmas.
