When Midge ridicules Sophie's corny act during a Gaslight set, a vindictive Sophie has her blacklisted from most clubs. Midge rejects Sophie's advice to develop a similar gimmicky persona to compete in the male-dominated field. Midge later runs afoul of Sophie Lennon, a famous female comedian who performs as an uncouth housewife from Queens. Touring is harder than expected and female comics are discriminated against by their male counterparts.
Susie and Midge hit the road for a short comedy tour. As Susie works to book paying gigs, Midge hides her new career from family. In the second season, Midge hones her comic skills at the Gaslight. Recognizing Midge's raw talent, Susie coaches her to be a stand-up comic. Gaslight manager Susie Meyerson bails Midge out of jail, and Midge later bails out Lenny. In the police car, Midge meets comic Lenny Bruce, also arrested for using obscenity. In a bawdy impromptu set, Midge vents her predicament to the audience, then is arrested for obscenity. Midge, upset and drunk, returns to the Gaslight in her nightgown and stumbles onstage. After a particularly dismal performance, a dejected Joel leaves Midge for his secretary.

Either way, take this 7-minute journey through the old Lake George.The Marvelous Mrs. Either I was too young to remember that or somehow after watching Blackfish I decided to mentally suppress any and all feelings about intelligent aquatic life held in captivity for our amusement. Storytown USA used to have trained dolphins in the old high-dive pool. Something else I seem to have missed from childhood: Dolphins! Gaslight Village is no longer in existence, and Storytown USA became the Great Escape in 1983. I really didn't have too many memories of Gaslight Village or Storytown USA before it became the Great Escape but after watching this video, many things came back to life for me and some things really stood out. I was born in 1973, believed to be around the time this video was taken. We played video games in the arcades, watched the Minne Ha Ha out on the lake, and took in an ice cream cone (with sprinkles) while we window shopped the souvenir stores near Frankenstein's Wax Museum. Sometimes we did the theme parks, but most times we skipped the parks entirely and just strolled leisurely around Lake George Village. I remember my sister and me hoping in the back of dad's old Buick Regal and heading up to Lake George on a warm, sunny Saturday morning to have a little family fun. With that being said, it was nice to check out this rare home video of some pretty cool Lake George attractions that no longer exist and some that still do, all captured with vintage 70s charm. I'm all for whatever the public demands (and business owners decide to build) so I personally have zero problems with what has transformed over the last 40 years or so in Lake George. These were the days of bumper stickers, Jungleland, Ferris wheels, and tilt-a-whirls.
