Just watched WML again, so funny. The crowd going silly over it and Steve Allen plays up to it. Very seldom the panel gets had but it was fun the way it went. On the movie Tombstone I think you would enjoy it. Most of it takes place in inside Tombstone (movie wise). Not really a cowboy and Indian type of movie. Below I am giving a link and wonderful article about the saying "I'm Your Huckleberry" Though I would wait until you watch the movie afterwards to read it. Up to you. It also helps you understand the Old West and different real life characters from it. Just interesting stuff. Like Judge Roy Bean or Big Nose Kate and dozens of others along with who and what they really did. Just part of history of such.

You actually wouldn't unless you knew the Old West (via the USA) or watched a movie with the phrase. It is really not used often in todays world. I only wanted to know about the world and how it's used and when. Then you will surely understand. It was used in conversation, ads during the 1800's newspapers and such. I would probably call it a kind of fad of the times. Some stay around forever while others go by the wayside. A lot of saying go way back in time and still used today. Some English, Americans and of course Canadians, eh? 😆. Like a stitch in time saves 9. Not sure how many still say that but I remember it. Ones I do not know or heard come from Canada:
Loonie
Toque
Timmies
or Hang a Larry

Though now I do. Maybe I should spend some time in Ole Canada, eh? 😉

When I lived in San Diego was not bad. We were out of the major fault area. We would feel them but no serious ones like L.A. and SF. I get scared when the wind blows here. Not used to 70+ MPH stuff or lightning storms. They had in some counties around me golf ball size hail lots of times. I just seem to miss it.

Another thing The Flintstones and Perry Mason have in common is Harvey Korman. He guest-starred in one episode of Perry Mason, and was the voice of the Great Gazoo on the Flintstones.

4/12 I'm surprised how well I did since I'm younger than both shows & I mostly know Perry Mason from Svengolie

8 out 12!
As a kid I loved The Flintstones. Because I was a “Flintsone kid” Gen X humor there.
Now, as an adult I literally cannot stand Fred!!
I hate everything about Fred. His voice, his laugh. He is as stupid as a stone.

Wake up to Mr. Mason, Go to bed with Mr. Mason. Gee MeTv, Time for a change. Never been able to watch a full episode due to the horrible overacting. I believe every episode ends with a Crazed, Blathering, Curveball, Courtroom confession. Please consider airing something watchable.
Do you go by “PMike” on IMDB? You should check out the reviews for Perry Mason on IMDB.
According to my friend who works at Nielsen Perry Mason gets high ratings day and night.

I wish they would take Perry Mason off the air and replace it with something good. They've been running Perry Mason twice a day 6 days a week for 22 years non stop. Every episode has been on over 200 times.

"The composer who wrote the theme song for the first Rocky and Bullwinkle show (‘Rocky and his Friends’) also wrote the theme song for which show?"

"Rocky and Bullwinkle" did NOT have a theme SONG. If there are no LYRICS, it's NOT a song!

8/12 I was never a fan of the Flintstones. I hated that Betty Rubble snickering.
