I agree, DR elmore3003 - that doesn't seem fair at all.

Thanks for the YouTube link to the Reich, DR Dan M!

Interesting, DR Jrand64. I wonder if that was the result of having to perform the school "abridged" version. Did any of the rest of the cast experience the same problem?

TOD:

I loved the miniseries form when it first began. So many adaptations of novels.....I think the first two I remember seeing still remain my favorites:

QB VII based on the Leon Uris novel

RICH MAN, POOR MAN which later became a television series.....I liked them both!!

TOD:
Talk about bleak, "Harper's Island" was truly horrific, but kind of good. But my favorite mini-series is "Fargo". I'd heard they're going to bring it back.

Slept only about five or six hours.

Did I miss DR Mike's announcement?

FJL · « **Reply #41 on:** April 18, 2015, 08:41:49 AM »

Do the PBS multi-episode series count as mini-series? I recall really liking "Tom Brown's Schooldays" and "Rock Follies."

FJL · « **Reply #42 on:** April 18, 2015, 08:44:03 AM »

But I guess since the TOD includes multi-episode series, the PBS series count for the TOD.

Is this movie on DVD? I would love to see it again.

Last night in Scottsdale was "4 Girls 4" [no, not the one with Rosemary Clooney, Margaret Whiting, Helen O'Connell and Rose Marie- (and later Martha Raye and Kay Starr taking over two of the spots)although I'd give anything to see that again] but the new one. Andrea McArdle, Faith Prince, Christine Andreas and Randy Graff.. It's an ever changing group. It started out with Donna McKechnie instead of Randy Graff. And then Andre McArdle is off to the East Coast for "Hello, Dolly!" so someone will take her place if the tour continues.

It was fabulous.

DR ELMORE I don't think it has been officially released, I bought a home grown DVD that wasn't very good quality. If you want a copy, I can find it a make you one.

I have the soundtrack which is so good.....I think it includes "Our House"......

That was a nice bit of news. Some of this day so far has been hell.

I did locate all of the printouts for Act Two of Gentlemen, Be Seated! so I can begin the edit. I like Dan's new template for Act One.

OMG DR ELMORE.......I just ordered the movie. I hadn't looked for a long time....and there it is....although it is MOD....hopefully it will be okay.

Happy to be here. Thanks FJL!

Let's hope!

I am on an Alan Bates obsession today because of a wonderful book I'm reading about him, Michael Caine, Richard Harrison, Sean Connery, Albert Finney, and the change in British theatre and censorship in the 1950s.

I've just returned from this year's lovely fundraising luncheon for the local presence of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. It's a wonderful program that delivers, by mail, a free book each month to children from birth to 5 years. AAUW Middletown is a major sponsor - we look it as our preschool "scholarship" initiative.

Yes, he's written some funny stuff. P.D.Q. Bach's "The Abduction of Figaro" is a spot-on spoof: https://youtu.be/ZD8jP52Mwck

Schickele's birthday celebration was just held in Minnesota. Wonder if anyone attended?:
http://www.vocalessence.org/event/p-d-q-bach-peter-schickele-birthday-bash/

My brush with fame: I encountered Prof. Schickele as we were both searching the record bins at J&R Records in NYC when their old store had a separate Classical building. He was very personable and not in any way dismissive of a nobody like me. He was avuncular and chatty. I had his autograph but that was lost in my move from NY to AZ. Alas, many things were lost. I'm sure we've all tried to recapture an (or many) elusive "Rosebud"(s) at one time or another (or ongoing).

DR elmore you've evoked fond memories of the BBC series by Tony Hart called "Vision On" which I had seen in the early 1970s rebroadcast on the local NY WABC. What a great example of the 1960s Mod style. Somewhat of a cross between Lester's Beatles films and the later Monty Python ethos:

Here's a full, early in the series, episode:

Aside from the visuals (Mr. Hart had the hearing impaired in mind), the music is great and introduced me at a young age to a variety of styles.

I contacted KQED, but have so far received no response. My enquiry was regarding another great old PBS show with Jean Marsh at the height of her "Upstairs, Downstairs" fame: "The International Animation Festival":

[terrible video copy unfortunately of her sign off]:
https://youtu.be/25Yncg8HVhU

For any who have watched this series, it was a great introduction to the National Film Board of Canada animation, the Bruno Bozzetto animations just before "Allegro non Troppo" and the Yugoslav animators. For a kid like me who grew up on Looney Tunes (never was that much into Disney kiddie cartoons, not the true classics), it was a lot of fun. But, then again, I think I was the only one in my neighborhood who got into Ernie Kovacs at that early an age.
