I just want to add that the premise, in age old Hollywood fashion, was that the three kids were the nieces and nephew of the fellow on the left, who had to give up his playboy lifestyle to raise them…
With, of course, the help of his distinguished but lovable English butler, one of which all Hollywood-designed playboy uncles have.
…
I didn’t actually watch the show… But later, selling collectibles, a couple of times i acquired and sold a doll of the young blonde girl, called Buffy on the show (not the vampire slayer one) who carried a doll of her own, called Mrs Beasley, who also was sold in a larger version on her own.
She became quite popular at a young age.
Sadly, she became yet another child star who landed no work after finding fame in one role, and tragically passed away from what was deemed an accidental drug overdose at 18.
Yes, a star fort, built about 1563… but it fell into disuse in the mid 19th century.
At that point it became an ordinary village, though that’s hard to picture, given its layout.
I don’t know how much of the fort was left, but by 1960, the village, too, faded, and the whole thing started to be restored and perhaps rebuilt into its 1750-60 glory.
It’s now an open air museum, with a few hundred residents.
There’s a market square in the center, and there are small hotels and restaurants.
Today’s puzzle is another painting by Grant Wood… I say another, because Nighthawks has posted a couple of others fairly recently.
This is the first one in stereo, though!
Not total stereo… There are… Guess what!… 9 differences between the panels.
And your job is to find them!
I commented a bit on one of the others about how Wood seemed to focus on, or maybe add, heights and levels and shadows to his landscapes… It seems especially so here.
Is the road mysteriously dug out of the hillside, or was this a natural plateau?
At least, unlike Benton and Curry, whose work his gets lumped in with, he doesn’t seem to constantly put his little farm families in danger… unless maybe these children are in danger of falling, with no fence along the low dirt cliffs?
Meanwhile, if you only know him from American Gothic, his most famous painting, it’s fun to see his other work.
That one, BTW, gets misunderstood. It’s a father and daughter, not husband and wife… And the young woman who modeled has been angry for years about people thinking she’d be married to someone twice her age.
Oh…. Yeah .. the solution!
Find all the differences… And compare with what I found…
I’m sorry sir, but to apply the screen schmutz clause to Cleo puzzles, you must request Form 693 D7a from the Cleo and Company Productions customer relations office, and fill it out completely, explaining in section G, on lines 17 and 18, exactly what schmutz was encountered…
And then in section F, line 3, state your virtual acuity, and attach supporting documents.
Then proceed to Section G, to check off anything from the list of 427 items that you might have been doing or eating that would contribute to said schmutz.
Each is assigned a weighted value, ie, knitting doesn’t carry any points, but a peanut butter sandwich , especially if grape jelly is checked under “options”, carries quite a few.
Our pleasant staff will compute your results.
If you are found to have high visual acuity and low points in terms of your own contributions, you will be allowed to claim the full value of the differences you missed.
Otherwise a deduction will be made, and some or all minus differences will be assigned to your own score.
Beautiful! If the lions or hyenas don’t get them, that’s a lot of mouths to feed, especially as they get bigger.
“Hey mom! What’re we looking for?”
Mini,mini,mini,mini me!
what does this group have in common?
They’re all eatin’ popcorn!
I can get a few from their costumes, not may from their faces!
bluriness
They’re all characters in movies.
That’swhat i got.
I want to say
But it’s too blurry to be certain of the identities of a few, and there are a couple l’m not sure I’d recognize anyway.
Still… That’s my best guess.
I’m thinking that your last statement in the spoiler box is right.
movies in the 80’s was the answer I was lookin for
.
I remember the two men. They are
Anissa Jones, Brian Keith, Kathy Carver, Sebastian Cabot and Johnny Whitaker as the cast of “Family Affair.”
Alexi already posted the names and show title….

Pilots didn’t get that one. Hope everyone was in a shelter by the time it hit.
whoever took the picture would appear to be in danger–those things made a big hole in the ground
Hopefully a (big) telephoto lens…
I just noticed the top of the picture indicating it’s a German photo.
Maybe this is one of their own wayward flying bombs

Burlington Iowa-1942
Love the way these grow.
Heavens to Mandelbrot!

I loves me some dinosaurs!

Why, I never miss a Yoko Tani and Oldrick Lukes movie!
I’ve seen every one I’ve ever heard of, except this one
well, I was going to delete the smaller version, but I didn’t have the heart to delete Arf’s like
…
What’s the story on Bourtange? It started life as a star (bastion) fort…
An amazing place.
I’d never heard of it, so I googled it.

thanks for that–you learn something everyday
I read someplace that the Dubai islands are melting back into the sea.
find the jellyfish among the plastic bags
Yup!
The jelly can consider itself found. Now if it can just stay out of the plastic bags.
Where’s the dead sea turtle?
Sad!
Here’s a handyman from PBS.
I’ve always liked that song.
I’m not overly found of opera as a whole, but if you cherrypick points like that i have a tendency of listening.
I’ve replied to you on Ballard Street.

I’ve got eight differmints, and I am invoking the screen schmutz clause in my contract for the ninth.

I found six. It just turned tomorrow. I will try with a better set of eyes after I get some sleep.
I found one more, but I gave up after that. Of the two I missed, one was obvious but the other wasn’t.
For some reason the puzzle isn’t posting for me.
The first thing i see is the music videos.
they’re on to you
