I'm watching these chronologically and so far Mrs. Sheridan has to be my favourite guest so far. The deadpan delivery and straight face mixed with her accent made her answers somehow very funny.

She was so taciturn and reserved (a product of her deep Southern upbringing, no doubt) you almost couldn't hear her. THIS to me is the definition of "charming." One of the sweetest young women I've ever seen or heard in any venue. If all women in the South had her personality and character, that would be the ONLY thing that would entice me to move to the South.

Candy Sheridan was born Juanita Frech in Paris, Tennessee. She got the name Candy due to her looks. Was originally married to a Mr Lee. Married in Charleston, he worked in Charleston and Memphis until they moved to Galena, Alaska. She started work than as a weatherwoman with a GS-3 rating. Worked there until her husband was killed in a hunting accident, at which point she returned with her son to Tennessee. At the time of the show she was married to a Mr Sheridan, an aircraft communications specialist with the Civil Aeronautics Administration (precursor the FAA), and as stated in the show currently stationed at Nantucket now at a GS-5. Her duties included sending helium air balloons to 100,000 ft where in her words "Boom! They explode.", and drawing weather maps. --- paraphrasing from "The New Yorker" December 19, 1953 pp 21-22.

Thank you for all the hard work and time you put into this channel, Gary. As a mentally ill young woman unable to work and living with my parents, life is so hard some days. But this show just always brightens my days. I get such joy from WML. I'm forever grateful I found this channel. Keep up the fantastic work! :)

I work as a seamstress in the back room of a retail store, but do interact gently with other staff. On the days I feel well, staff is there for interaction. On the days I don't feel well, staff stands back. Could such a job be of benefit to you? I don't ask you for an answer, just want to give you something to think about. Good luck to you!

@@shirleyrombough8173 Being old enough to have been alive to watch the originals and being a language major, I fear that the situation with "man" was a double-edged sword at the time. While it is true that the "nature of man" generally meant mankind because it was a social science, if not hard science construct, the names airman, mailman, fireman, etc., did not really. The armed services were not anticipating women warriors, so had not prepared to call people simply flyers or sailors, etc. Likewise, mail carriers and firefighters had not been considered because few outside of the feminist movement had anticipated women doing such jobs regularly. Paid work of certain types was for men and others for women. So, WML continues to utilize job descriptions such as male nurse or lady barber or lady butcher or lady cop or male secretary, when each of those lines of work was adequately described without the modifier noting the sex of the worker in front of it. The airman and similar designations in the military were retained, at least for a time, because it was too cumbersome and expensive to change all the tons of paperwork before knowing how the experiment with women in such posts would work out. My father was a supply officer in the Navy and an economics professor at a university, so knew of these things. He shared when questioned because they had not occurred to him as odd. I, personally, think the name of the job should describe the tasks being done while never strangulating the language. That became a bit of a problem for a period of time after these had aired with all sorts of lengthy descriptions that tagged either "man" or "woman" onto the end. It got silly. One who fishes is a fisher. Sufficient. It's even in the Bible. I suspect that meteorologists always had trouble with "weathermen" being assumed to be meteorologists when they were merely weather readers. I understood from one in my city that this designation was accidental because at the TV channels and radio stations they were all talking heads, whether hard news, sports, society gossip, weather, and they read the news in their area or predictions that came over the wires from those in the field they handled. So, when even folks at home began calling weather readers (before there were actual meteorologists in those jobs) merely weathermen it stuck because back in my friend's day they were all men. It was before the attractive busty blonde phase and the phases following it. So there's midshipman and there's sailor. One costs a lot of money to fix.

She was a weatherwoman in Nantucket, who has been with the U.S. Weather Bureau since 1947. One night the writer found himself sharing a table with Candy, Tim Costello & Burl Ives. Candy's first husband Mr. Lee was a weatherman & she worked with him in weather bureaus in Charleston, Memphis, and then Alaska. After Mr. Lee was killed in an accident, she married Mr. Sheridan, an air craft-communications specialist. She & her husband are stationed in Nantucket, where Candy's work involves sending up radar-controlled balloons to find out what's cooking at heights like 100,000 feet and drawing weather maps. She said they fill balloons with helium, send them up, and keep in touch with them by radar until they explode. Candy said there were several other women in the Weather Bureau

Sho' 'nuff, I found Mrs. Candi Sheridan absolutely delightful. While she admitted to being very nervous (as I can imagine many of the challengers were), she had an amazing capacity to be very forthright at the same time as being very soft spoken. And yet despite the softness of her voice, the panel seemed to hear all her answers clearly. That wasn't always the case with non-celebrity challengers. Watching her, I would describe her as a woman in the positive sense of the phrase that "butter wouldn't melt in her mouth." Although they spelled her first name "Candy", Mrs. Sheridan was the subject of _The New Yorker_ magazine column "Talk of the Town" by John McCarten in the Dec. 19, 1953 issue. Apparently because Nantucket was a cozy place where the rich and famous often vacationed, she occasionally had the opportunity to hobnob with such folks. I can't link to the entire article because I would have to subscribe to their website for $1 a month to retrieve it, but this excerpt was interesting to me: Talk. Interview with Candy Sheridan, a weatherwoman in Nantucket, who has been with the U.S. Weather Bureau since 1947. One night the writer found himself sharing a table with Candy, Tim Costello & Burl Ives. Candy's first husband Mr. Lee, was a weatherman & she worked with him in weather bureaus in Charleston, Memphis and then Alaska. After Mr. Lee was killed in an accident, she married Mr. Sheridan, an air craft-communications specialist.

Lois, thanks for the additional information about Mrs. Sheridan. I'm originally from the South, and Southerners love to have fun with "Yankees", appearing to be talking "slow as molasses and being rather dumb". One of my aunts was from Ohio, and was derogatory about Southerners. We had so much fun "pulling her leg", and then Wham!! We let her know we were teasing.

For anyone wondering, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes WAS in color. However, Mr. Coburn had done TWO films that year and the other, Trouble Along the Way, was black and white. Since he was not asked for specifics, he was able to choose one and say "no," even though the panel was obviously thinking of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. That's why the whispered conference and why John said it, "suddenly got more interesting."

What an extraordinary challenger she was. Played it perfectly, they would never have guessed her profession even if the prize money went up to $100.. I would've loved to have been on there myself (I'm a piano teacher) and played it slow like she did. Would've loved to see her stay utterly deadpan in response to what Hal Block might have had to say! Ha ha,

Joseph T. In the 50s, the preferred term of reference for women in jobs with the suffix -man was lady followed by the occupation, such as lady fireman or lady policeman. Man for those jobs essentially meant person, and the non-gender alternatives were not commonly used, such as police officer or firefighter.

A new opening debuted with this episode, including some "special effects" with the sponsor's product introducing the name of the program and the panelists blindfolds featured: the ones worn by Miss Francis with the eyelashes drawn on most prominent of all. Can a more sophisticated method of doing the closing credits be far behind?

This is a delightful one! I laughed out loud many times! Footcuff? Funny! Four dimensions? Mr. C being racy? A total surprise! The sweet Southern girl, far sharper than some realized, was a delight in how she deftly handled the panel’s questions. And Miss Arlene’s sharp mind getting the cell! Love the panel, but I worried that some of Dorothy’s laughter may have been condescension toward the weather “Man .”

The first contestant had a very good poker face...except for those occasions she did not. Arlene got credit for guessing the line, even though she indicated the man was involved with 'making or selling' the product - with other contestants, the panelist would have to also guess if the contestant made or sold the product.

You don't see many monocles these days. I never understood why anyone would wear one as it just seems eyeglasses would be easier. Even if you only needed vision help in one of the lens. A monocle just seems like continued effort.
@loissimmons6558
@loissimmons6558 8 жыл бұрын
A monocle was often something of an affectation. And there was some class distinction in monocles. The wealthy could afford to have them custom made and therefore would fit them well enough that under most circumstances they would not fall out. That wouldn't be as true for those who could not afford a custom made monocle. Even so, a common comedy device was to have a snobbish wealthy man be so shocked or surprised that his monocle would fall off and fall someplace interesting (someone's drink perhaps) and fall on the floor and break. Raising one's eyebrows too high is one of the ways a monocle is likely to fall out.
