sounds good

Comment by Ed Nelson on June 24, 2012 at 10:15am

I thought I throw this one out there and see what everything thinks. I have another book I am thinking about posting it's Bart Andrews The Story of I Love Lucy from 1976. Like the Little Rascals book I just posted today the book goes on in great detail of what went on behind the scenes, which is as interesting as what went on in front of the camera. For example Desi wanted to expand I Love Lucy 2 years before they actually did it and goes on to explain why. I haven't scanned the book yet. But if you like me to post it here let me know.

Btw I also have the Growing Up Brady book

Finally got the scanning finished, now it's when I get it all loaded up to Dropbox. As soon as I get it all uploaded I will be posting it.

Sounds good Ed, look forward to looking at.

Comment by Ed Nelson on May 29, 2012 at 11:31am

Since I am about half way done, I figure it's a good time to tell everyone. I have this Leonard Maltin book called Our Gang The Life and Times of The Little Rascals 1977. It is about the most complete collection of everything Little Rascals you will find anywhere. It contains every single detail on every Little Rascals short ever made, including photos even going back to the silent days. It even includes what happened to them after....at least up until 1977 that is. 

I got permission to post the book which will include links to download these hi-res scans. Which I will do hopefully quite soon.

This is awesome gang! Anyone remember Seahunt where Lloyd Bridges would do the narration himself? Really great stories for a half-hour TV series. I remember Walt Disney had Zorro;Swamp Fox,(Canadas Leslie Nielson!);Elfego Baca;Texas John Slaughter to name a few! Great 50s-60s TV. Thanks for this. Great idea - Ron L.

Gotta agree, GREAT idea! Thanks for starting this!
Comment by Robert Grindlinger on February 16, 2009 at 9:06pm
Thanks for the invite...my first recollection of TV was Howdy Doody in 1954, and I remember sitting in my highchair for a solid hour watching Zorro with Guy Williams...I guess that makes me an old pro on classic TV. It was my best babysitter!
