Mrs. Falbo

[Baba Booey]

How come NBC has NEVER shown any of the old episodes of Mrs. Falbo's tiny
town?

[Joel Cairo]

Well, Baba-- I don't know how to break it to you, but they just showed
the "Mrs. Falbo" sketch with G. Gordon Liddy (Dave Thomas) this past
week...

I **do** wish they'd spring a few more out of the vault, though.
Hmmm-- maybe after Carson Daly gets canceled...

They had four Mrs. Falbo's. A regular one, the G. Gordon Liddy one, the Visit
To Prison, and one that was cut in syndication, the "rainy day show".

Awww, I never saw that fourth one! One little thing I always loved
about Mrs. Falbo was the opening credits, which must have been shot in
Edmonton. There she is in her getup, scrambling into her car in front
of some suburban house, and an elderly couple are strolling past. The
way that old guy just stops and glares at the camera cracks me up every
time.

I always thought he had a 'What the hell is going on here?' look...and her driving
a Chrysler muscle-car (and the way she drives) kinda scares me.

That was a '74 Plymouth Roadrunner. Appeared to be a woosy version with the 400 (6.6
litre) engine in it. I'd have to check the scoops to be sure though.

ANYWAY.................

Does anybody remember the Mrs. Falbo episode where the focus is on "Counting to Ten" ?

Too funny with Mr. Messenger running back and forth from one side of the camera to the
other with the numbers 1-10 on Bristol Board.
He's pooped by the end!

Or the time she was a guest on The Sammy Maudlin Show, alongside Happy Marsden and
"The Guy from The CBC" ?

Earlier in this thread JS77 referred to it as "a regular one". It is indeed the first
"Mrs. Falbo's Tiny Town"

I remember howlin' my guts out when this episode was originally aired. Nearly busted a
gut by that point in the episode. Also loved the King and Queen sequence which has been
mercilessly cut from syndication.

MRS. FALBO: ...let's see what the King and Queen are up to.
(She looks through the telescope)
(telescope view shot panning down the side of the castle revealing an open window
exposing two dolls in dressed in bondage gear. The King is holding a whip.)

QUEEN: Oh, my Liege!!!

The syndicators cut it here.

KING: Down on all fours my lady.

QUEEN: (moaning) Oh! Oh! There! Oh!

Was that the one in which she fried a fish under her microscope by mistake
and used a telescope to see what the king and queen were up to (it later
was altered for syndication)?

OMG! My friend and I watching it nearly pissed ourselves watching that!
Unfortunately, the last time I saw it, they only showed the sight of
the telescope going up the tower, almost up to the window, with the Queen
moaning "Oh my Liege!" and a quick cut back to Mrs. Falbo. :-(

Oh dear! Looks like Mrs. Falbo picked a bad time to visit the king and queen,
boys and girls!

I had the radio on to a news segment about school kids grading each others'
tests...a parent objecting to the program was (or the name sounded a lot like) a
Mrs. Falbo. I couldn't concentrate on the rest of the story.

Oh God, we had to do that in grade 6 back in 1974. When I was 9 years old. We had to
grade each other's tests randomly every time.

What really sucked, looking back now, is that as a bonus to the grading thing on the
Final Exam for grade 6, we had to draw a picture of what we would look like in the
year 2000 (I would be 36 then) by using tracing paper and our yearbook pic.

I drew myself as being bald by age 36. Got a C+ grade from Alison Horne (ah, Alison,
my first dance partner at my first school dance back in 1976. The song? Dream
Weaver).
Oh, yeah, ANYWAY,
She thought I was wrong. And dammit, the teacher went with it!!!
Went on to grade 7 and that was that. But it always cheesed me, getting that C+.
You know what though, Alison was right. I wasn't, isn't, am not bald!
Killer eh?

Well, that's it for me, I'm off to listen to "Saturday Night", "Rock and Roll All
Night" and "Sweet Emotion".

bye!
