Another YouTube gem.  Thayer's performance as Nero Wolfe is one of my all-time favorites.

Ron Sproat only did a few weeks of SP, I believe.  But once Bob Costello arrived, around week 8, they added daily opening voiceovers that really gave the show a DS feel.  (For the last couple of months, the daily voiceovers were dropped.)

After week 13, the action shifted away from Maljardin ("Island of Evil") to Desmond Hall in Desmondton (which was supposed to be in the US, somewhere).  One of the characters even made a pilgrimage to Harvard University!

Thanks for that tip!

I actually can just imagine Angelique serving a salad of bay leaves and cider vinegar to Ma'mzelle and gloating, "You shall HAVE your precious salad, Josette... but not as you would have wished it!" and then, as the bespelled Missy weepily crunches the harsh jagged leaves against her soft cheeks, cackle:  "You shall vinaigrette the night, my dear ... FOR ALL ETERNITY!"

Cue commercial break...

Sandor DAHling,

May your Birthday be the Divine Glamour-fest that your life has been!

cheers, Gothick

The new vampire series *I'd* like to see is The Lair, airing on the obscure gay TV channel, here!  All of here!'s products always come out on DVD.  Supposedly the same folks behind the here! cheese-a-thon, Dante's Cove, are producing The Lair.

The dialogue sounds like an old AIP film from the Sixties, chockful of references to "megalithic remains" and "a coven of gay vampire witches."  The blurb states that the show is meant to be a "gay version" of Buffy the Vampire Slayer but I seriously doubt whether it will prove as compelling or long-lived.  And, as was the case with Dante's Cove, there will be an abundance of soft core man-on-man sex on view.

Maybe one of the vamps will "do the Tom Jennings" with the tongue rolling around between the fangs?

That capture is AWESOME, darling!  LUV IT! and luv you for making it to share with all of us.

The other evening I had a rare "I simply MUST watch Grayson NOW or I WILL DIE" evening and I screened the episode with Julia's first "showdown" with Nicholas Blair.  There were some delicious moments where the sly minx with the black bag taunted Mr. Knowitall Warlock.  I just love those sidelong smiles and soubrette glances.

I'm saving for another evening the follow-up scene to this where she visits Blair House with stake in hand and just stops short of ripping Our Favorite Warlock a new one...

xo, G.

What a coincidence--the episode I mentioned with Quentinwolfy's attack on Judith is featured in today's slide show!

Great shot of Cassandra from the '68 show, too.

Thanks again to MB for making these available to us.  I'll feel true regret if the shows come to an end upon the completion of our year cycle on June 27 this year.  Any chance we might continue for another year?

Looking at the slides is always one of the bright spots of my day, particularly since I seldom get the chance to watch the show these days.
