One the great films with Dennis James and Jim Healy (All-Star Anything Goes) is gonna be on Wednesday night at 8 eastern. "Rocky III," in my view the best of the "Rocky" sequels. Thanks AMC! Dennis and Jim play wrestling commentators in an early scene.

And some of you may remember that James' first notoriety in television was as a wrestling announcer in the pre-historic days of the medium, where he would tear celery into the mike during holds to simulate breaking bones and act as an educator to the female viewers on pro wrestling--"OK Mother, that's a choke hold."

OBGameShows: Dumont used Dennis' catch phrase when it named his early audience participation program Okay, Mother. The episode from 1947 that's available from Shokus Video (http://\"http://www.shokus.com/game.html\") is probably the oldest surviving video of a game show.
