Casting 9CL - the movie
Bobcat
- e.g., The Flintstones. If 9 Chickweed Lane were ever filmed who
would you get to play the characters? I have one suggestion. For
Thorax, we could cast William Windom as he appeared later in life in
Murder, She Wrote, but substituting bib overalls for a doctor's coat.
Any other thoughts?

Well, if we're allowed to use time travel as a casting option, I'd
cast:
Tuesday Weld in her Dobie Gillis days as Edda
Jerry Lewis in his still-working w/Dean days as Amos
Eve Arden in her line-declaiming prime as Julia
Eddie Bracken in his 30s, the 20th century's 40s, as Mr. Julia (does
that guy have a name?)
Bea Arthur (speaking of line-declaimers) as Sister Stephen, if she
brings along
Estelle Getty as Gram
and Jerry Mathers as the Beaver.

William Windom's good. How's about:
Amos: young Rick Moranis
Edda: very early Cheryl Ladd
Julia: prime Ellen Burstyn
Gram: Elaine Stritch
Thorax: Garrison Keillor

She's got the look and the slim figure that a ballerina should have.

I see John "Napoleon Dymamite" Heder as Amos, and a bleached
blonde Anne Hathaway as Edda . . .

Heder's a nice choice. Hathaway impresses me as being a bit too statuesque
for the lithe Edda, but I could imagine it.
I'm struck by how the choices we've listed for Amos and Edda--Jerry Lewis,
Rick Moranis and Jon Heder vs. Tuesday Weld, Cheryl Ladd and Anne
Hathaway--make very clear how unlikely they'd be to pair up in real life,
and how invested some readers (and creators?) are in the myth of the schlub
with the hot girlfriend/wife (on TV see also Jim Belushi, Kevin James,
George Lopez, or "Bewitched" with either Darrin). If only the most beautiful
girl in school could see the sensitive soul inside my awkward, ugly shell.
Sigh . . .
Yeah, it can happen. And some nerdy/dorky/dweeby/off-beat women just happen
to be breathtakingly gorgeous, which is how I think we're supposed to regard
Emma. But in real life? The odds are long.
Of course, my wife is the exception that proves the rule.

If you're willing to fudge Julliete's age a bit, Haley MIlls would bring
the right mix of beauty, dignity, and snobbery.

See Beefies wriggle.
See Beefies get off the hook. :-)

movie with people who have chins. When Hollywood got all
glammed up, a lot of chinless folks from the Vaudevillean
era were put out of work. Now's their big chance!

If we use that criterion, do we really want to sit through a 9CL movie
starring this young lady as Edda?
