The Honeymooners

My friend Bob went to a Honeymooners event today and met Art's son, who brought some of his awards along.   Art was a big fan of my first two books and he loved working with Rankin/Bass Productions on The Leprechaun's Christmas Gold.  We would talk often and his wife said I sounded just like another relative of theirs.  I connected a few friends with Art, who sent him TV Shows he guested on, that he was looking for.

 

 

And away we go!

I have been putting together my Honeymooners things! Glad I got a great shot signed by Joyce Randolph!

The Great One! My pal Art was great too!

Promoting The Hollywood Show Chicago last year! Much of what I said still applies to this year and I am returning to all of the venues I mentioned in 2019! The Hollywood Show Chicago is this Saturday!

Now that PARAMOUNT has postponed the BLU RAY release until March 18, 2014,,,,maybe they can come up with a better cover too!  This looks like a bad airbrushed/drawn over photograph of Jackie.  I am sure there are many much better images they could use.   In fact, the cover of the original DVD release was much better than this!

Also, the DVD set was lacking in original material taken out of the series, when it went to syndication.  My friend Gary Matheson had some original transfers done with segments that were not included in the original DVD set (Seeing the inside of a bus during the opening comes to mind).
This is the anniversary of the series original premiere :)  Hopefully, this delay means a better product for fans!
