Ahead on the show: If you have a child anxious about attending a new school in a few days, we have three things that can help you ease a child into a new school year. Lynne Webb, a professor of communications at the University of Arkansas explains how skills that help reduce anxiety about school can be used the rest of your life. Plus the desire for a new fish hatchery in northwest Arkansas and Zeek Taylor explains why painting a simple black cat is harder than you might think. He’s the featured artist at the Norberta Philbrook Gallery in Bentonville for a new show opening tomorrow.
Here are the ten clips (and eleven threes) included in our montage this week: 1. Bob Dorough sings Three is a Magic Number. 2. Larry, Curly and Moe in trouble in A Plumbing We Will Go. 3. Al Pacino utters the most memorable line from Godfather III. 4. The Three Degrees’ biggest hit, When Will I See You Again. 5. Kendall Trainor gives Arkansas a win with his field goal (worth 3 points) in the 1985 Holiday Bowl. 6. An early 1980s jingle for Three Musketeers candy bar. 7. Steve Martin, Martin Short and Chevy Chase as the likeable, but slow-witted, Three Amigos. 8. The Oscar-winning song It’s Hard to Be a Pimp by Three Six Mafia. 9. Speaking of Oscar, the opening comments from Three Faces of Eve, an Oscar-winner for Joanne Woodward. 10. DOUBLE THREE ALERT! The Three Tenors sing We Three Kings. Apologies to the little pigs, the bears and Goldilocks, Jan Stenerud, Babe Ruth and that band that sang that song in the 90s.
