It's the last GLoP of the summer, but we're not relaxing. The GLoP-sters (one of whom is working injured with a summer cold), cover which sections of the newspapers actually make money, a review of the current Broadway production of Oklahoma!, some Rank Punditry® on the Democratic race, John can't hear us (a feature, not a bug?) and Dave Chapelle conquers the politics of comedy.

Where was "Oklahoma" filmed? In the grass lands of Southern Arizona, as most of Oklahoma had already been cultivated!

It was also filmed TWICE. When Rodgers & Hammerstein began producing their own movies in the early 1950's not all theaters were equipped to carry it in the new Todd-AO 70mm format which ran at 30 fps. So they also shot it in the 24 fps Cinemascope anamorphic 35mm. They are two totally different movies.
They also did this with Carousel and Frank Sinatra, who was signed for the part of Billy Bigelow, bailed on the project because of it.

Hating rehearsals, "The Chairman of the Board" was known as "One-Take Charlie" (he hated both nicknames.)

How can you discuss the cast of McHale's Navy and leave out the great Gavin MacLeod? Before he was Murray Slaughter or Capt. Stubing, he was "Happy".
