Fall

Super weather day in Oak Lawn, IL

Peanuts

I prefer this Peanuts...not fond of shadowed, CGI animation

My write-in man for 2016!

Absurdity is an every day word today...integrity is seldom used.

Another gorgous Fall day!

Lots of sun and Vitamin D in cool temps :)

Superboy

Just dusted off one of my Aurora display models...really great paint jobs on these!

If you go to the New York Comic Con....



Visit our friend at SPACE LAB 9 at booth # 842 and pick up your black pumpkin splatter edition of THE ADDAMS FAMILY LP and tell them I sent you!


Rankin/Bass' Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town was on CBS MORNING NEWS today...


 I saw Rankin/Bass' Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town on the CBS MORNING NEWS (national) today. The story was about the actual song. It seems the original rights owners of the songs sued Sony and got the rights back. C. 2012 MISER BROS PRESS/RICK GOLDSCHMIDT ARCHIVES

Campbell Soundstage: Something for an empty briefcase

Dean's first meaty television roll, that you could tell he was on to something.  A well written episode that develops quickly in a short time span.

James Dean, the lost television legacy

This 3 disc set has all of the surviving television material, introduced by my pal Marcus Winslow (Jimmy's cousin) and there was some restoration done to the material.  His television work was diverse and great fun to watch!

A LIFE WITH FATHER episode from 1951 featuring Martin Milner and a very young Sheila James (The many loves of Dobie Gillis).  This was Jimmy's 2nd TV appearance and it was filmed, just before he left the West Coast for New York.

GHOSTS x 3



I bought this Glow-In-The-Dark set years ago at Riley's Trick Shop to hang in our picture window at 11730 Rosemary Lane for several years :)

Home sweet home!

Favorite time of year has begun with wonderful weather#

Disney Golden book re-issues are great!

Golden books are great for kids when they have great art and stories!  A far cry from today's shlock!

50 years ago today, Uncle Boris Karloff began work on Rankin/Bass' Mad Monster Party?

Boris Karloff recorded his work 10-06 and 10-07, 1965, when the film was known as "Monster Convention" in London, England.
