1) I found a black and white photo of Lea Thompson getting pied from an episode of "Caroline in the City" in 1996.....when I checked that episodes (color screen grab) you only see Lea Thompson holding the pies and then the sitcom cuts away without showing any pie hits. What happened -- did they cut the pie scene from that episode ?
2) I found a still photo of actress Dottie Harmony getting pied in 1957 at the Tropicana Hotel while introducing Ernie Kovacs. Dottie was a dancer and actress who was dating Elvis Presley at that time. Apparently it was as dangerous to be around Ernie Kovacs as Soupy Sales, and when you were on stage with him .....look out for flying pies.
The Caroline in the City had no pies being thrown during the show. I think it may have been the schtick, that there these pies were but nothing happens with them. After taping they probably clowning around, which is when Lea Thompson got pied.

I think we've talked (whined, cried) about the Caroline in the City photo a fair bit in the past on the forum. The episode is "Caroline and the Comic" from season 2. Pies are not thrown in the episode, which is the goofball equivalent of watching a cup too close to the edge of the table, or watching the final Sopranos cut to black.
Gettyimages has a nice picture of Lea pelting herself. Apart from that, though, the DVDs have no extras, and it appears that the photographer passed away a few years later. We'll survive somehow.
While we're at this, how about this photo in which Bonnie Franklin has been well pied? Anybody have any clue where this comes from? She's best known for playing the lead character Anne Romano on the 70s/80s sitcom One Day at a Time (original recipe). A few clean pics are included for comparison purposes.
I remember an episode of One Day at a Time where there was a cream pie visible on a table for an entire scene, so I hung on and watched hoping Valerie Bertinelli got it (hey, if she was under 18, so was I), but nothing happened. Maybe that pie ended up hitting Bonnie Franklin?
Bonnie Franklin was one of those actresses that failed to deliver a proper wam scene on camera during her career. The famous mud wrestling episode on "One Day at Time" was also a copout because she only knelt in the mud and muddy knees do nothing for me.

Not only that but they didn't even show the actual match itself, just the muddy wrestlers (including one of the STRIPES / ALL THE MARBLES hotties, Leslie Henderson) climbing out of the pit afterwards. FAIL.
On the other hand, I finally upgraded the T.J. HOOKER mud wrestling scene from the recent DVD release, and it's a pretty good one (and features another STRIPES banger, Sue Bowser, which I don't think I had realized from the crummy cliptape and online copies I'd seen).
Did someone mention Bonnie Franklin, "One Day at a Time," and a tempting-looking cream pie that sat on a lonely counter during an entire scene--a clear case of comedy malfeasance?
Well, check out THIS very obscure 1965 educational short titled "Your'e the Judge" with a 21 year old (brunette) Bonnie--the first three minutes feature Bonnie, very pretty blonde Sherry Alberoni, an almost impossibly gooey white cake, a prolonged precarious balancing act--and possibly THE most frustrating WAM tease (more straight-out taunting, really) I've EVER SEEN!!!
This was made as a sex therapy film for people who wish to find out whether their partner is a wam fan or not.
You play video to your partner and if there is no reaction then you can assume they are not a wam fan. If your partner reacts to this film and then throws something at the pc out of frustration.....then rush to the kitchen and get out a couple of cans of whipped cream !
Speaking of lost films, there's also a long-rumored 1957 Barbasol promotional short titled "Full Coverage, Fulfilling Marriage" that allegedly features a young Yvonne Craig and George "Goober" Lindsey as "Singin' Sam, the Barbasol Man"!
Love you, too
