My name is Robin and I am the new Sitcoms editor at BellaOnline. It may have been a while since you received your last newsletter, but they will be coming weekly now. My aim is to send out my article and newsletter early in the week.

QUESTION: Right now, I want to test your knowledge of trivia. The answer will be down at the bottom. What sitcom star was originally slated to play the tin man in The Wizard of Oz? He couldn't fulfill his contract because he was allergic to the silver paint.

Basic Overview of Sitcoms
The basics of situation comedy got their start in radio. Since their beginning, they have explored people and their situations into almost every walk of life. Sitcoms have covered home life, the office, the classroom, and even gone into the future, as well back to the Stone Age.

ANSWER: The answer to the trivia question is Buddy Ebsen. He was Jed Clampett in The Beverly Hillbillies. Of course, he also went on to play a private detective named Barnaby Jones. Did you know he was also a hoofer (dancer)?
