I used to have a 1969 ABC Daytime 16mm print of "Three Wishes" (from season three) and it had the season one opening theme and cartoon (with the cabinets), probably because it was a B&W version of that episode. I also had a similar era Daytime print of "Business, Italian Style" in color, which I...
The Bewitched pilot has been uploaded to YouTube by Sony, with the correct B&W opening credits animation and music (from a Chevrolet sponsored episode, I think), and the Screen Gems "dancing sticks" logo at the end of the episode. It's in 16:9 and in less than SD resolution, but hopefully this...
Has anyone seen the 1989 East German film Coming Out? I've wanted to see it for a long time, but the original US DVD of it was out of print by the time I found out about the film and the German DVDs didn't have English subtitles. It's coming out on a new US disc soon, according to the DEFA Film...
Hi Tony, I finally had a chance to check the lyrics of the phonograph song in "Far Out Munsters." Here they are (as best as I can tell from listening):
"Come on and do the [turn?]
just a little bit
I really wanna see you [work?]
just a little bit
I wanna do the swim
just a little bit
oh...
$40 per episode seems incredibly cheap for a 30 minute episode to be digitized, especially film prints that are deteriorating. It sounds like maybe the films have severe "vinegar syndrome," which means they could be extremely warped, shrunken, brittle and/or sticking to themselves. I'm assuming...
For anyone wanting digital versions of the three Munsters episodes that had music replaced on the Universal DVDs, they're available on Amazon with the original music now intact. I bought them on the Amazon website and downloaded them via the Unbox player. On the season 1 DVD release, the three...
On the season one set, Mill Creek did digitally change the copyright date to 1964 in the opening credits, so I think they may be doing a little more than using Sony's edited masters. A few years ago, when Bewitched was on crackle.com I checked the Ben Franklin episodes and they were uncut. I...
According to IMDb, she wasn't on Peyton Place after 1966 (although, that could obviously be wrong...its older TV listings are often a bit unreliable). Peyton Place didn't go past 1969, though, so I don't know why she only had three appearances in each of the last three seasons of Bewitched. In...
Funnily, Dick York actually appears in "Samantha's Power Failure," although just barely. The opening shot of Sam and Darrin lying in bed is from season three's "Witches and Warlocks Are My Favorite Things," which was also used in "The Trial and Error of Aunt Clara." You can't really tell it's...
If I actually had the connections to be working for free on the DVD releases of these Lucille Ball shows, I would. Where do I sign up? I don't think there should be too much worry about the PD Lucy Show releases. There are only about three episodes with Vivian Vance available, and I feel like...
I agree that it's worth it to see all the promos and things used in the Biography's uncut and without any voiceovers. My favorite additions (that weren't mentioned when the set was going to come out two years ago) are the extended interviews used in the A&E Biography's, especially Beverley Owen...
I would definitely buy Rhoda, and Phyllis, too. I regret only taping one or two episodes of each when they were on Nick at Nite around '95-97 (or so?).
JasonLa: >>I really hope that this music stuff stops. Although Munsters is down near the bottom of my list its disappointing to hear about this. How well did they replace the music?
Re: Music in the Munsters Season 1 "The Sleeping Cutie" (12) - all "fairy tale" music (based on the Snow White "Some Day My Prince Will Come") has been replaced [I had originally written Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty music, but realized it was actually (Disney's?) Snow White] "Dance with...
