i did watch the last episode on april 2nd, 1971 but i stopped watching years earlier except for a few sparactic episodes because i got a paper route after school sometime in late 1969. never would have known it was ending if a friend didnt tell me. i picked up my papers and brought them home that day instead of delivering them immediately like i should have. i was wrapping the papers with rubber bands while watching the final episode. i remember being totally confused wondering why barnabas wasnt being called barnabas and angelique wasnt angelique and why were they kissing! then the last few minutes, melanie who i thought was still carolyn was brought in with bites on her neck. finally, i thought to myself, the ds i remember, only to realize that in a few minutes it would all be over and how are they going to wrap all this up in 1 minute? then the narration explaining it all and then it was over. then the phone started ringing. customers calling wondering where their newspapers were. thats what i remember about that day. then a few years later in fall 1975 to discover its return(at least in the philadelphia area) in reruns for a year at least. 

wasnt the movie TOMMY released in quadrophonic sound? how does it differ from surround sound of today. i never had the pleasure of experiencing any movie in quad.

wasnt grayson hall topless in that movie with stacy keach? i think it was called "the road". maybe i was just hoping for a topless scene cause shes so hot. lol You also left out terry crawford topless shot in the movie with deniro that i also cant remember the name of.

yes. karlen also anounced that his show cagney and lacy was cancelled. he was unaware of the huge writing campaign underway that saved the show! too bad a writing campaign couldnt save his 1st tv series!

happy birthday dennis. it was a pleasure and a joy to give him a ride home that night.

i only edited a few minutes out. mostly the barnabas look alike contest. the winner looked nothing like barnabas but he had the cane and the ring and the cape. back in those days i had a super 8 sound movie camera and a roll of sound film lasted only 4minutes and cost like 10 bucks. so i only had 2 rolls of film. i didnt take any shots of the crowd cause it was too dark in the crowd. as far as i know david jay may have been anounced as a guest at a festival in later years but didnt show up. i could be wrong about that. i will post again when i upload more footage. zacherley was conversing with frid in the press room and i believe he introduced frid onstage but i missed filming his intro.

how exciting to have a cast member visit here. hope u will post/visit often. i met u way back in the early 80s at a now defunct event called manhattan shadows. i have attended many festivals on both coasts.
