Happy Birthday!

cheers, Go theeeek!

Videos of the Q & A sessions at Lyndhurst have been posted on youtube, as dom reported, by veteran fan Guy Haines.

The guests who attended were KLS, Sharon Smyth Lentz, Marie Wallace, Donna McKechnie, and Matt Hall.

David Henesy couldn't attend due to an emergency situation with his business. Nancy Barrett, who like David had been announced as a possible attendee, also didn't make it.

cheers, Gothick

Folks who are interested in the behind the scenes drama of the original series will enjoy this intriguing 1983 appearance by Ron Sproat, videotaped by the legendary Guy Haines at the 1983 DS Festival in Newark. Topics include the early 1966 storyline, the Phoenix Laura Collins, Vicki's parentage, the 1795 storyline, the introduction of Julia, and lots more.

Favorite moments include the expression on Ron Sproat's face when one fan is explaining to another about Julia's astral body in 1897, and Ron's very brief response to the question 'Was Dan Curtis a slave-driver?' A poker-faced 'Yes' is the reply.

Somebody is selling one of those "Barnabas TV's cool ghoul" boxes that the bubble gum cards would be displayed in back in 1968 for around $450 on ebay. It's probably already been sold. Even with the economy in its current state, there are wealthy collectors snapping this stuff up. Don't ask me to explain it.

The conversation about the Gold Key comics was so lively and a lot of fun! I'm not a fan of the comics, but this morning I rummaged through my shelves and brought the one book I still possess along to peruse on my commute--issue 3. I'm surprised at how well done I found the story, and unlike a lot of the later numbers (from what I have read--memory has failed and I stopped buying the book sometime in 1972, I think), the story actually feels like something that might have been done on DS. You do have to smile at Professor Stokes being addressed as "Dr. Stokes." I think I could hear an astral snort of derision from Dr. Hoffman when I read that, lol.

Last week I enjoyed watching the episode featuring handsome James Storm and his lovely bride, Valerie Pronio. It was interesting to hear Jim mention towards the end that he appeared in an episode of the recent here! TV series, The Lair: Onlyfangs. It looks as if his role isn't documented on IMDB, not surprising given that this series seems kind of ephemeral. I watched a five minute preview of the first episode online and it seemed like a parody of What we do in the shadows, which was already a parody to begin with. As Miss Brodie once commented, "For those who like that sort of thing, that is the sort of thing that they like." But the cast is attractive and the sets are beautifully dressed.

Hi MB,

Yes, Rocky & Bullwinkle was a very good show. Some months ago I started watching this very long (11 hours plus!) youtube upload of the first season. It was fascinating because back in the 1960s, by which time I think I was watching old reruns, I never got to see any of these in order. I was able to watch the arc of the Rocky & Bullwinkle segments here. The idea of an explosive recipe for chocolate pan dowdy is so hilarious, and it just gets more bizarre and surreal as it goes on. All the other segments are fun, too.
