Topic: The Life of Riley


  
  The Life of Riley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Life of Riley was an American situation comedy, co-developed by the non-performing Marx Brother, Gummo, that appeared on both radio and television in the 1940s and 1950s and helped introduce the so-called "nuclear family" to American broadcasting.
Riley in some ways was a prototype for such later blue-collar sitcom protagonists as blustery get-rich-quick schemer Ralph Kramden and his animated Stone Age counterpart Fred Flintstone, blustery bigot Archie Bunker, benign but bighearted Dan Connor, and King of Queens Doug Heffernan.
Life of Riley is also the name of a single released by British pop band the Lightning Seeds.

 The Life of Riley
Riley built a two-seater sportscar in 1932 called the Gamecock, powered by its immortal Nine engine, a 1.1-liter, four-cylinder engine that uses twin camshafts set high in the block to actuate inclined valves in a hemi head via short pushrods and rockers.
We are pretty certain that Riley never actually built new cars for the '34 event, for a couple of reasons: the chassis number on my dad's car has been overstamped; and although the two different transmissions entailed unique chassis crossmembers, the mounting holes for the manual transmission's have simply been filled.
In the Riley, the experience is total, from the airflow whipping past the upright windshield, to the engine noise, to the smells of burning oil and freshly cut grass.

 "The Life of Riley"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Anyway, the ideal life of carefree, bountiful and yet humble lifestyle and life of "homey dream-come-true" spawned a comic song by Pat Rooney of the name "The Life of Riley" in the 1880s.
The popularity of the song and the continued popularity of Riley's poems of the nature depicted reinforced each other and led to the entry of the phrase into the American vernacular.
In fact many (such as this one- where we found it) were framed and hung in front rooms at the turn of the 20th century.
