"BELL BOTTOM BLUES YOU MADE ME CRY, I DON'T WANT TO LOOSE THIS FEELING..."
GROWING UP IN THE 60's&70'S SO SPOILED ME!! ALL THE TV SHOWS FROM THE 50'S,60'S,70'S WERE EITHER ON IN OR IN CONSTANT REPEATS... FROM CORNY FAMILY FAIR; THE REAL MCCOYS, DENNIS THE MENACE, HAZEL, THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW, BACHELOR FATHER, PLEASE DON'T EAT THE DAISIES, LOVE ON A ROOFTOP, LOVE AMERICAN STYLE, THE COURTSHIP OF EDDIE'S FATHER, THE DONNA REED SHOW, THE PATTY DUKE SHOW, LEAVE IT TO BEAVER, LASSIE, GIDGET, THE LUCY SHOW, FAMILY AFFAIR, IT'S ABOUT TIME IT'S ABOUT SPACE, THE UGLIEST GIRL IN TOWN... TO OUR NEW FAVORITES; LAUGH-IN, ALIAS SMITH & JONES, THE YOUNG LAWYERS, THE YOUNG REBELS, FANTASY ISLAND, LOVEBOAT etc.... TO THOSE GEMS OF SCI FI, HORROR, & FANTASY; LOST IN SPACE, LAND OF THE GIANTS, BATMAN & ROBIN, THE TIME TUNNEL, VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA, STAR TREK, THE MUNSTERS, THE ADDAMS FAMILY, BEWITCHED, I DREAM OF JEANNIE, MY FAVORITE MARTIAN, THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR... AND BEST OF ALL WAS ANYTHING SCARY!! ALTHOUGH ONLY ACTUALLY BEING ON A FEW YEARS I SWEAR WE RAN HOME TO WATCH "DARK SHADOWS" DURING OUR LUNCH HOUR OR STRAIGHT AFTER SCHOOL THE ENTIRE TIME WE WERE IN GRADE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL!! ME AND MY 2 YOUNGER SISTERS LOVED THE SCARY STUFF!! FROM THE SUPERNATURAL, TO SPACE ALIENS AND MONSTERS... EVEN MORE THAN TWILIGHT ZONE WE LOVED NIGHT GALLERY WHEN IT STARTED COMING ON! AND BETTER YET WERE THOSE SATURDAY AFTERNOONS OUR PARENTS WOULD LEAVE US HOME (DON'T ANSWER THE DOOR!!) WHILE WE PROMISED WE'D BE OKAY, SO THEY COULD GO GROCERY SHOPPING AND RUN ERRANDS IN PEACE. WE WOULD CLOSE ALL THE CURTAINS AND SIT CUDDLED TOGETHER ON THE LIVING ROOM COUCH, ALL FEET AND LEGS SAFELY UP, SHARING A BLANKET, MESMERIZED BY THAT SATURDAY AFTERNOONS "WORLD BEYOND" MOVIE OR OUR NEXT TRIP INTO "THE OUTER LIMITS" !! AS MUCH AS WE LOVED THOSE SCARY 60'S REPEATS WE WERE JUST AS EXCITED WHEN THOSE NEW "MADE FOR TV MOVIES" STARTED MAKING THEIR APPEARANCES....ALWAYS STARS WE'D ONLY SEEN IN REGULAR TV SHOWS, BUT NOW FACING SOME TERRIBLY SUSPENSEFUL DILEMMA ... OR SOME CREEPY SUPERNATURAL EXPERIENCE!! TV JUST ISN'T GOOD LIKE THAT ANYMORE AND IT'S SUCH A BUMMER!! NOW TV NIGHTS ALL YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM IS ONE OF A ZILLION SOAPY, VIOLENT, LAWYER/COP/DOC DRAMAS OR ONE OF A GAZILLION "MY HUSBAND'S STUPID AND I'M NOT EVEN THOUGH I'M THE ONE WHO MARRIED HIM" FAMILY COMEDIES!! I MISS MY CHILDHOOD & TEENAGE TV SHOWS... AND SO DO MANY OF US... THAT'S WHY I SO ENJOY SHARING ALL MY OLD MOVIE SAVES. I'VE BEEN COLLECTING LOST GEMS FOR YEARS AND OFFER THE BEST POSSIBLE QUALITY FOUND ON DVD-R. NOT BOOTLEGS!! IF A MOVIE HAS BEEN RELEASED AND SOMEONE OWNS THE RIGHTS TO DISTRIBUTE & PROFIT FROM I DROP IT FROM MY LIST AND BUY MYSELF THE REAL DEAL TOO :) BUT WHAT OF ALL THE MOVIES LOST IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN THAT MAYBE NO ONE WILL EVER GET AROUND TO RELEASING... SO MANY MOVIES WE REMEMBER & LOVE. I THANK GOD FOR OTHER FOLKS LIKE MYSELF I'VE FOUND OVER THE YEARS TO TRADE SAVES WITH. THERE'S NOTHING FUNNER THAN FINALLY GETTING TO SEE A MOVIE YOU'VE REMEMBERED BUT NOT SEEN IN FOREVER! SO IF THERE IS A TITLE YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR, ASK ME, AND IF I CAN FIND I'LL BE HAPPY TO LIST. AND IF ANYONE COMES ACROSS THE TVM I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR FOR YEARS "LISA, BRIGHT AND DARK" (1973) STARRING KAY LENZ (BASED ON THE JOHN NEUFELD BOOK) PLEASE LIST AND LET ME KNOW!! THANX FOR STOPPING BY!! M.T.
