Thanks, Midnite, for that link. THE WORLD OF HENRY ORIENT is a lot of fun and features Angela Lansbury in an offbeat monster-mother role.

Interesting that she reportedly wrote for Gold Key's Boris Karloff book, as well.

According to this review, Joe mentions that in the 1950s, an apartment could be rented in NYC for $24 a month. That seems much more fantastical than any of the storylines on DS.

Thinking of folks living now in NYC and praying for your safety, health and sanity.

I checked Spectrum TV and got a screen stating that my browser is too outdated to run the channel.

I hope you enjoy the series if you do watch.

Also, to note that ornate grandfather clocks show up in all the grand manor houses in all the Gothic films of Hollywood yesteryear... so, it was certainly one of the significant elements that Sy would have sought out when working on the sets. I've wondered just where he bought the furniture and some other props... and what happened to them afterwards.

There's actually a list of a bunch of furniture and props from the Canadian soap Strange Paradise that were sold at an auction sometime around June or July 1970, if I recall aright... I can look for it and post it in this thread, if people are curious. Inventory lists of this kind are often curiously fascinating to peruse.

A friend just wrote to me that every episode of DS is available on Tubi now, for free. They run commercials, which can be a little difficult on streaming because usually the ads are inserted randomly rather than during the actual commercial breaks.

That is very cool. It was great seeing Thayer and Clarice in this, and I think that actress who played Hallie/Carrie Stokes was one of the children in it.

"Sarah" (if it really is Sarah) has dialogue today that makes her sound like a New Age guru.

Again, I'm glad this "book" is coming to an end soon.
