This is my day to post items to the MethoBlog, and one of my posts referenced the old Isaac Air Freight skit “Prodigal Joe,” which used the characters from “Bonanza” to tell the story of the Prodigal Son. (At one point, when Little Joe asks for his inheritance, Ben asks if he wouldn’t rather settle for a little house on the prairie.)

Anyway, I got to thinking about Isaac Air Freight, and — courtesy of Google — discovered that they have a web site which sells “Best of” CDs. Money is tight this week, but I’m going to have to bookmark this site and pick up one of these babies, probably #2, which has the full, uncut version of “Prodigal Joe” (as opposed to the edited-down version which appeared on their “best of” vinyl, which is the basis of CD #1.)

It turns out that the son of original IAF member Dan Rupple now has his own sketch comedy group, known simply as “Air Freight,” and is carrying on the family tradition.
