Back To The 70's

[sliderule]

Yup, I've been watching this thread too.... bakit nga ba wala?

 

Anyway, Rudy Manlapaz, he's the guy na laging nabubunggo?  And he often played the role of a security guard or a policeman, right?

 

Bong of Baltic is Jimmy Morato?

Hi Liberty! Tayo lang yata ang gising...how's life in the Big Apple (just guessing)?

Yeah, you are right madlas ngang role ni Rudy ay pulis at clumsy guy hehe

But no I don't think Jimmy Morato played Bong...

 

medyo morbid lang...but here's a site where departed local personalities are fondly remembered: http://www.newsflash.org/2003/05/sb/sb003113.htm

Good evening folks bago matulog.

 

EB tayo this week?

[16track]

Bong of Baltic and Company was played by none other than a young and slimmer (then) newscaster Angelo Castro who dabbled in acting long before he went into the newsroom.

 

Baltic and Co. was a good cartoon / tv show as it showed an almost honest portrayal of office characters.

Most specially the character Tom-- married, drinks too much, blows his pay too often. HOw many Toms have you known in your lifetime? Sa akin, madami na. Kahit na characters ni Mr. Golem or Ms. Tapia, madami tayong nakilala.

 

Jimmy Morato actually played the role of Tisoy in a Black and White film--just can't remember now if it was the late 60's or early 70's. Aling Otik was played by Moody Diaz.

 

Regards!

Hi Storm....and to all the 70's nit owls (diba program ito ni Lito Gorospe noong 60's - iba nang thread)..lalo na si Madam Libert :*

 

Game ako diyan sa EB. Sana this Saturday.

 

Bods, my friends and I are scheduled to lunch at OMA this Thurs. Fanatics sila ng Sushi-ya (for their cravings on tight budget) and I told them that your place is better. I am sure we will have a good lunch.

Yes, Madam Augustmoon, i remember Lito Gorospe's Nite Owl Dance Party sa Channel 11, laging malabo ang reception sa TV. (Sorry kung sa 60's thread dapat ito.)

 

Does anyone recall when the VCR craze (aka Betamax) hit Manila, the 70s or 80s? I used to tape the weekly shows of Three's Company, a really cute sitcom then, and its spin-off show, The Ropers.

i am amused on how you can recall all those details. i do remember some of the shows like ariel con tina, baltic and company, iskul bukul, etc. but not the details.

 

what i still clearly recall was the movie "saturday night fever", and our parties where everyone would dance solo like john travolta whenever "you should be dancing" was played.

 

the song, "emotion" was what i danced to... kasi i only knew 2 dance steps then... sweet and very sweet. :boo:

 

mabe this time i will be at liberty to attend the eb.

Emotion by Samantha Sang... It's over and done, but the heartache lives on inside...

 

Yup, count me in too for the EB, .... or my name isn't Liberty.

[bods1000]

wow!

pareng masi, ano ba yung EB - sa Wine ba o sa 70's thread?

Saturday ba?

 

In Baltic & Co. the lady who played Roni's love interest (ano nga ba pangalan nya dun?) was Menchu Genato who became Mrs. Quinito Henson who became Tita Maggi Mr. Baltic I think was Prospero Luna.

 

Tisoy the comic strip morphed into the Ikabod bubwit series - nawala na yung mga tao!

Aling Otik's full name was Dona Narkotika Vda. de Clipeticlap - that's why her son and Tisoy's best friend is named Clip I forgot who played Clip....

Remember how Mr. Roper would refer to Jack as "Tinkerbell" then put on that hilarious smile? Or how Mrs. Roper kept asking for sex from Mr. Roper...which he wouldn't give? Mr. Roper (sorry, I can't remember the actor's name) had a great replacement in the series. That was the Don Knotts, who put on his trademark trembling during a lot of episodes.

 

There was this one episode where they played strip poker, and it was Don Knotts who lost all his clothes. As he left the apartment unit with just two pillows to cover his privates, a policeman came along to arrest him for indecent exposure. The policeman told him to put out his hands (which were occupied with holding the pillows to cover his privates) so he could be handcuffed. Don Knotts looked at the officer in another trademark way and said, "Come on, have a heart!"

 

I once read (in TV Times, I believe), that Suzanne Sommers felt very threatened by Don Knotts because of his great timing and antics. At the time, she was still THE star of the show.

Norman Fell played Mr. Roper while Audra Linley was Mrs. Roper.

 

Jack Tripper, Janet Wood, and Chrissie Snow (her real name daw was "Christmas Snow")

were the 3 flatmates. The 2 girls had opposing personalities, and coupled with Jack's flirting,

riot talaga!! :upside:

There was this one episode during the first season when Jack (the late John Ritter) appeared in his briefs and nothing more. There was also another episode where Janet tripped over Jack and actually brushed his privates. I believe this wasn't intentional, but it was simply kept in, possibly because it was so hilarious.

And for Jack to remain in the apartment with the girls, he had to pretend he's gay. This complicates the entire plot since Mr. Roper knows that Jack is gay. I think Mrs. Roper knows Jack is straight and the other playboy friend of Jack who wants to hit the girls play has to play a role with Jack when Mr. Roper was around.

 

 

This reminds me of the debut of Tom Hanks in Bossom Buddies. A story of 2 guys who pretended to be girls to stay in an all girls dormitory. I forgot the name of the other guy and this tall blonde girl whom Tom was trying to hit.
