The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

Dead Page: Producer of "Laught-In" and "Little House on the Prairie"


The "Dead Page" is so-called because while I was teaching 7th grade, I had the kids write down the names of some people who died who I felt had really been involved in history, had contributed something, or who had led interesting lives. There were so many, that they began to refer to it as "The Dead Page."

ED FRIENDLY 1922-2007

TV Producer behind "Laugh-In" and "Little House"

Ed Friendly died June 17, 2007.

He brokered the deal that brought "Laugh-In" (1968-1973) to network TV and created "Little House on the Prairie" (1974-1983) after seeing his teenage daughter reading the books.

Both were favorite shows of mine. "You can bet your sweet bippy." Many of my friends didn't like "Little House" but I really enjoyed it, along with the "Waltons". Both were great TV.

"Is that a chicken joke?"

"Verry iinteresting."

What would Nellie say?
