@just bee Loved I claudius!  My 2 favourite lines were 1) When Caligula " came back from his deathbed as a 'god" and thanked the Senator who so generously Lamented for Caligula to pull through by asking the gods to take him instead.  to which Caligula pointed out with all seriousness... " Well, we shouldn't BOTH be here now should we." 

and 2) whe Clauidus says in his stuttering voice 'I have always thought that what a man has to say is more important than how Long he takes to say it. 

 

Loved wizeguy too.  Always happy to see Jonathan Banks working.

Such a great script and so many memorable lines.

 

Tiberius: [about Livia] They say a snake bit her once... and died.

 

Herod [to Claudius]: Trust no one, my friend, no one. Not your most grateful freedman. Not your most intimate friend. Not your dearest child. Not the wife of your bosom. Trust no one.

 

I adore Jonathan Banks. Heart  Ah, Mike's I Broke My Boy monologue...

Michael on "Newhart:"  He loved tv and nice clothes, and spoke in alliterations!

I also love Irene Ryan as Granny and Jane the bankers secretary in Beverly Hillbillies .. omg, Jane never broke character.  She was amazing.  And who could not love Granny.  They made the characters so real and lobable, because the show was based on a rather preposterous story line.  I love the show, even today it makes me laugh

My husband was not a TV watcher, but he loved that show.  And especially "Granny".  And the "cee-ment" pond.  🥰
