Rue McClanahan in… The Wickedest Witch!

She's only gonna sit in an inch of water? Got a good one for you tonight. In 1989, Rue McClanahan fulfilled the naughtiest clause in her Golden Girls contract by starring in NBC's The Wickedest Witch, a very rare Halloween special that only aired once, maybe twice. It's thirty minutes of Blanche dressed as a bitch witch hag, fiddling around with little reptilian Muppets as she quests to take over the universe. The silly but inoffensive special is a must for Rue fans, and since you've got no chance of seeing the thing if you haven't already, the review includes several video clips. Enjoy.

There is this meteorologist on WPVI-TV/ABC-6 in Philadelphia named David Murphy that bears an uncanny resemblance to Dana Carvey. Here’s the link:

If you’re questioning it, check around on the website to see if there are any video clips of him, and you could see what I’m talking about!!! ENJOY!

bitchpants – I don’t know, do you know me? I just moved to Edgewood from Point Breeze. . . I had a job as a nanny out in Fox Chapel so I didn’t have much time for socializing until now.

It’s no wonder I didn’t know about the one in Robinson, if it’s hidden all the way out by Best Buy. I don’t go out there much anymore since I’m so much closer to Monroeville.

"There is this meteorologist on WPVI-TV/ABC-6 in Philadelphia named David Murphy that bears an uncanny resemblance to Dana Carvey."

It probably is him. Had to move out of town and change his name after "Master of Disguise" was released.

Allison – I’m sure there is, but I’ll have to check the tape again to see exactly what. Honestly, I skimmed through a lot.

Speaking of "The Hogan Family", anyone know if it is currently being aired anywhere? (Or "Valerie’s Family" the original title), or I can get tapes or DVDs or torrents or whatever?

My mother used to record cartoons so that we had some to watch when our cable was shut off… this was one of them! My sister and I watched this so many times! I can still remember their voices
