A favorite skit of mine I haven't seen in years...

I haven't seen it in years and don't know why I loved it so much, but...

...Harvey and Carol play actors in a small stage production. The layout of the furniture and props is very involved in the performance of their scenes. The flow of their performance is next to perfect.

Later, the play goes to a much, much grander stage. As a result, the furniture is spread apart much more than the original. The two actors are not used to the new layout and hilarity ensues.

Anyone else remember this one?

Yes I have that one, It's from season 10 I think.

Thanks. Like most of Carol's skits, I'm sure it's as funny as I remembered.

Yes it was, it was on a huge outdoor stage, and Carol and Harvey were worn out about midway through from having to walk so much lol

That one AND the one where they play the same characters but the prop builders were on strike and they had to work with faulty props lol I like it too.

Tonight they had the episode with the huge stage. So funny. They had to walk long distances to go to chair or sofa or coat rack. Plus they had to shout their lines to be heard.

I SO WISH I could get the ME network!! Please keep me posted if they show show the 30 min. versions of season 11! If you could record those episodes and send them to me, I'd pay you lol
I'm especially looking for that one, if they show it PLEASE tell me.

I'm guessing though when they get to the end of season 10 they will go back to the Lyle Wagnor episodes.

That is what they did when the show aired on Family CHannel years ago, they started with season 10.
