Greetings to those of you in the Netherlands, Australia, and Israel.......even though we aren't fans of Benjamin Netanyahu here........domestically, we want to send greetings to those of you in Hartford, Baltimore and Dallas.

What do The Three Bears, King Midas and the late Rodney Dangerfield (all pictured above) have in common you might ask?

3) Doonesbury

4) Funky Winkerbean

5) Pearls Before Swine

Quote of the Week- Rodney Dangerfield

I am hoping to throw a house party that will include a triple-header of Rodney Dangerfield films this weekend..........if everything goes according to plan!

In honor of the occasion, we are quoting the late comic who apparently failed to get respect here with this quip:

"I have good-looking kids. Thank goodness my wife cheated on me."

Six Degrees of Separation_ Rodney Dangerfield (Entry 5 of 11)

Since we featured Chevy Chase for our last entry, we will turn to his "Caddyshack" golf partner the late Rodney Dangerfield (1921-2004) for today's entry which shows the degrees of separation a given star has from Kevin Bacon.

We are, of course (don't tell anyone), borrowing this from the oracleofbacon.org

The man who got 'no respect' was in "Back to School" (1986) with Burt Young who was in "New York, I Love You" (2008) with Bacon.

Upcoming entries in this series will include Turhan Bey and Rin Tin Tin........!

"Caddyshack" airs at 8 p.m. on January 8 (Thursday) on AMC.
