Rob, all of the characters you mentioned (except Donald Duck and Huey, Dewey and Louie) were created by the great Carl Barks (but I guess you know that) and I have been a lifelong fan and collector of his work. In fact, I own four complete editions of his stories; two hardcover editions in...

Another attempt... That's the best I could come up with. Just dropping by, been pretty busy lately with my own vintage photos for a photo book project.

Unfortunately, not every episode. S5 in particular is a tough case for anyone without access to MeTV, some of those eps are simply not there, not anywhere on the net. With the generous help of a good friend I finally managed to collect all but one, and that one is 5-30 The Heartbeat Caper. Don't...

Jeff, you can watch Alimony League here: That's where I got my copy. Better than nothing, and at least it's uncut. Still hoping for WB to see the light some day while we're still alive...

While I am in no way an expert on Bourbon Street Beat, I have always had a soft spot for this show, because 77SS and BSB were the only two of the WB detective shows that I had opportunity to see in my younger days. (Surfside 6 and Hawaiian Eye sadly never made it to our shores.) BSB got a very...

:lol: I had never looked at it that way, but you're absolutely right!

I found this full-page magazine shot last year when my sister and I had to clean out the attic of our parents' house where it had been laying around for decades. Too bad there is no publication date anywhere to be found, but from the style of it I would guess very early 60s. It's obviously a...

During our early visits in the 80s, wifey and I always stayed at some motel in Hollywood, mainly because it was easy to get almost anywhere fast from there. Later on, when the rates in Hollywood began to increase dramatically, we discovered Pasadena as a real nice base of operations, and a very...

Oh yes, those memories... Driving north on Hollywood Blvd... getting off on Barham Blvd, crossing the L.A. River to W. Olive, and then the Smoke House coming up to the left and WB studios straight ahead. Don't know how many times I took that ride, and each time I thought, "gotta visit that Smoke...

Funny how some things seem to be the same all over the world. It was exactly as you describe it at my school.

Don, thanks for reviving my 2017 B&S Xmas and New Year’s card - glad you liked it! And a happy New Year for you and everybody else in this forum, too! The new year started over here a little over half an hour ago and we’ve been under heavy artillery attack for most of the time since then... Just...

Merry Xmas Everybody!

Happy 69th, Russ! Have a great day.

Thanks Russ, and I'd like to add my own thanks and good wishes to everyone here. I received this nice little greeting from WB today and since they produced our favorite show way back when, I thought I'd just pass it on to all of you.

I wish I still was in such good shape! Oh well... As you can see, besides looking more and more like my grandpa, I also got a serious problem storing my media collection. The rest of the room looks just as bad... and there's more of that downstairs... and still more in the basement... good luck...

You're so right... It's a great comfort.

Good Lawd, I never thought anybody would actually miss li’l ol’ me! Russ, I do declare, I’m really moved by this. Don’t worry, I’m alright, but I did catch a bad case of those blasted end-of-summer blues, when the weather starts to get worse and the leaves turn yellow and brown and the days get...

LOL! I only recently added the name of our small town (village, actually) since I felt that the name of a country is not really a location. You could have mistaken me for a Bavarian, a Berliner, a Hamburger or a Frankfurter (not the edible kind, of course:D), but I'm neither. You're right, it is...

The When in Roma Affair (S3E26), according to IMDB. Directed by george waGGner!

I couldn't say it any better than Russ did... Pure genius, Rob!

Russ, I am speechless. I guess Hollywood will never realize what an enormous loss they have suffered by not having you as a screenwriter all these years. The tragedy!

A strong resemblance, yes, but it's not Kim Novak.

Thanks, I think you are referring to my recent post where I wasn‘t sure why Robert Reed was so popular in Germany in 1965. I must admit that was a temporary blackout on my part, because yes, The Defenders really made a brief but quite popular appearance on our screens in 1964/65. Unfortunately I...

I'm glad you liked the video, Rob. And I see what you mean, I just googled the Scandia. Beautiful place, I wonder how many times I saw it without really taking note of it. 1993 was already my seventh visit to Hollywood.

No, that's my pretty and charming wife!:) I'm exclusively behind the camera...:cool:

For quite a while I've had this vague feeling that once upon a time I must have taken some pictures of the former 77SS location on the Strip, but after going through all of our photo albums I found zip. Well, today I came up with the brilliant idea to also check my old videos, and Bingo, there...

Amen to that! Farmer‘s Daughter was my first encounter with William Windom, too. My parents, big sister and I never missed an episode. It was such a bummer that the show was never ever rerun over here, not once. But I guess you guys weren‘t much luckier, either. I never found anything on YT.

I researched the subject of the "Ottos" a little further, and it turns out that good ol' Eddie won four of them: GOLD in 1963, SILVER in 1964 and 1965, and finally BRONZE in 1966, the year 77SS said farewell over here. It's also quite interesting to see who else was in that "Hit Parade of the TV...

Fantastic! And absolutely hilarious, one of the best MAD parodies I've ever seen. Thanks so much Rob, I've always wanted to read this!

I hope this is of some interest to you guys. I found this 1964 article in the online archives of DER SPIEGEL, roughly Germany's equivalent of TIME magazine. To put this into historical perspective: At the time of this article in late 1964, 77SS had been on German TV sporadically since 1960 and...
