The only news article on his centennial was in The Huffington Post and that was by his daughter Marlo! Of course, I also remember that fellow TV legend Phil Silvers' centennial also passed without note except for blogs as well. I have to admit I missed Phil's--I'd just lost my job and my best friend's health was rapidly failing--although I plan a post for his 101st birthday!<br /><br />Sadly, I think in the case of both Danny and Phil's centennials, it is a case of "out of sight, out of mind." While I Love Lucy is still being rerun, I know of no place that runs Make Room For Daddy or The Phil Silvers Show. A shame really, as they both are sitcoms that were as revolutionary in their own ways as I Love Lucy!Terence Towles Canotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397088843628331615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7210602.post-72136343271318145322012-01-07T16:08:06.339-06:002012-01-07T16:08:06.339-06:00Over the summer there was a big to-do over Lucy...Over the summer there was a big to-do over Lucy's centennial. It is sad that - as far as I know - there were no big blog-a-thon celebrations for Danny. <br /><br />Thanks for being there to remind the web-world......Toby O'Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999037844031101965noreply@blogger.com
