SCRIBBLES VIDEO | Timmi Swims - In This Classic Clip Taken a Decade Ago!

Timmi was only 2 years old when this amusing video of him doing the dog paddle was taken. And what a perfect spot to go for a dip! The beachfront at our pal Becky's family cottage located on beautiful Papineau Lake, ON.

Here's my little buddy swimming, ten years ago...

CLASSIC CHRISTMAS | He's Been a Good Boy


This photo of our pal Glyn first appeared on Scribbles in December 2013...

Proving you're never too old to believe, our Nova Scotia friend Glyn Whiteley is seen here sitting on Santa's lap.  Judging by what his wife Angela has been sharing on facebook, Glyn has been a very VERY good boy this year, so Santa better have something special planned for him,

HO, HO, HO!

REVIEW | DCT Gives Us a Tasty Treat with The Red Velvet Cake War


The Dunnville Community Theatre continued to amaze audiences with their production of The Red Velvet Cake War by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope & James Wooten.

The comedy is set in Sweetgum, Texas and revolves around the wacky members of the Verdeen gang as they prepare for a dysfunctional family reunion. Cousins Gaynelle, Peaches and Jimmy Wy wager a bet with mean ol’ Aunt La Merle that Gaynelle will bake a better red velvet than her and what pursues is pure hilarity. Theft, a tornado, an ill-fitting glass eye and an amorous psychologist are but a few of the things that made everyone in the house laugh out loud.

What set this production apart from some of DCT’s other recent shows, was the size of the cast. Past productions have seen 3 or 4 actors portraying multiple roles, while The Red Velvet Cake War featured 9 actors portraying 12 characters (that’s a lot of quick costume changes, wigs and accessories.) It was refreshing to see new faces among our familiar favourites.

DCT President and director of the Red Velvet Cake War, Nancy Erskine, sat with my neighbour Deanna and I, for a front row experience that has us in stitches and wanting more.

The cast of The Red Velvet Cake War included Sheila Scumacher, (Cee Cee), Judy Wenjina, (Gaynelle), Ellen Bloomfield, (La Merle), Michael Maloney, (Aubrey and Purvis). Candace Stern (Peaches), Julie Turner, (Jimmie), Diane Morris, (Bitsy and Mama Doll), Jordan Heron, (Newt and Grover) and Tracey Stirling (Elsa). Behind-the-scenes, the crew included Linda, Everett, Ritchie, Chris and Wendy.

Another 5 star production from the little community theatre that continues to grow and astound us.

ENTERTAINMENT | Carol Burnett Returns

by ME TV Staff

The queen is returning to primetime, in a traditional multi-camera sitcom. Yesterday, it was reported by Deadline that Carol Burnett will star in a new comedy series from executive producer Amy Poehler. Even the concept sounds like a throwback to sort of humor found in '60s, '70s and '80s shows.

On paper, the generation-gap, living-under-one-roof sitcom seems like a mash-up of The Beverly Hillbillies, Silver Spoons, Golden Girls and Mama's Family. Here's the pitch: A family gets the chance of a lifetime to purchase a fabulous house well beyond their income bracket. There's just one catch — they have to share it with the original owner, an old actress, until she dies. Burnett plays the aging star, naturally.
Over a span of half a century, Burnett has earned 22 Emmy nominations and won six trophies. The Carol Burnett Show ran for 11 years, garnering a best variety-comedy series Emmy nomination for each of the 11 seasons, winning three times. Of course, we don't have to tell you that Burnett has the chops. 
Michael Saltzman will serve as writer and producer. The industry veteran has credits such as WingsMurphy BrownMad Men and Halt and Catch Fire on his resume. The untitled series will hopefully kick off in 2017.
