There was a sitcom on for a short time in the 70s titled
Lotsa Luck. It starred Dom Deluise as a single guy who lived with his overbearing mother. I remember it being the funniest thing in the world, but I was around 8 or 9 years old at the time so if I were to see it today I'm sure I'd realize that I was wrong. But I do know that I went around saying "lotsa luck!" to people for several months after the show premiered.
Deluise died last night in Los Angeles. He was 75.

Sarah Palin and Tina Fey aren't the only celebrities that people sometimes
mix up. These two look a lot alike (more so when Fey has her hair a certain way, less so when she doesn't), but I often confuse two celebrities that don't even look alike in the slightest. Sometimes it's because they have similar names or have similar roles or a combination of both. Sometimes it's just because I don't see them that often and when one pops up I say to myself, "hey wait, is that _____ or _____?" Here's my list of eight people I often mix up. This must happen to you too, right?
1. Dan Butler and Paul McCrane. Both bald, both on hit NBC shows. Butler was horndog Bull on
Frasier and McCrane was jerky, killed-by-copter Dr. Romano on
ER. They really do look alike.

First of all, they released a
Lotsa Luck DVD set?! Why didn't I know this? The complete series was released last November.
Now, I'm not sure if I'll go out and buy the set (I can't even remember if the show was any good or not), but I do remember enjoying the show when I was a kid. In fact, there was an entire half year where my catch phrase was "lotsa luck," which I said in any ocassion that might have warranted the phrase (and probably a bunch that didn't). When S'More Entertainment released the set, there was a problem with the pilot episode, so they are now going to give
free replacement discs to everyone who bought the set and wants one.
