This is by far the most bizarre obscurity you've come up with yet. Had no idea these things existed. Superficially, the look of the marionettes suggests Bil Baird had a hand in this show, but apparently puppeteer Mary Chase had no connection with Baird. Watching a half hour of puppets is hard going (though I love the more sophisticated (bigger budget) Thunderbirds & other G&S Anderson shows). I've downloaded these and we'll see if I can get through them. Art Scott
Thanks for this, Davy. We didn't have a TV back then.

That was rough sledding. Maybe if I was 64 years younger...
ReplyDeleteThese are genuinely very strange.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite line is from the third film when Fosdick's sidekick tells Fearless why he doesn't want to go into a house he thinks is haunted:
It's full of spooks and goblins and basketball players.
