Many think that Sean Connery was the first actor to impersonate the role of the sophisticated British agent; when in fact he wasn't. Sean was the first actor to play bond in a "theatrical" movie. But in 1954, 8 years before Dr. No hit the screens, 007 was introduced for the first time on Television broadcast.

The movie was called Casino Royale, based on the first novel by Ian Fleming. The movie was adapted from this novel for a CBS broadcast, with the hopes of adapting more of Ian Fleming's novels on TV...but the broadcast was pretty much bashed by critics and ignored by viewers. The movie was broadcasted only once and lost. It was later found and re-broadcasted in the 1990's for TBS, part of a James Bond movie marathon. Thought the problem with that version that was re-aired ... Read More

VHS : I Love Lucy Christmas Special
"I Love Lucy" was such a wonderful series and a landmark in television history which has been in a constant state of rerun since it first premiered in the early 1950's. It was such a success because of the superb talents of the four main leads, brilliant writing, and a great care shown for how the stories of the trials and tribulations of the Ricardo's and the Mertz's were presented.

In this video we have a unique installment from the classic series in the one and only Christmas special produced during the shows run and it has been rarely seen since its first and only screening in the 1950's as it wasn't included in the original rerun deal because of its specific Christmas theme. The episode is a warm and funny one with the cast of Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, William Frawley and Vivian ... Read More

VHS : The Carol Burnett Show - A Reunion
I have had this video for a while, and love watching it again and again...I just wish that this particular Reunion was available on DVD. I have searched relentlessly, to no avail. Does anyone know who to contact? My home library is almost exclusively DVD, and now with the newer DVD technology, HD and the like, VHS is so dreary, such a retro format. I know it's just a minor gripe, but if anyone knows where to get this on DVD, please post here!!! An Absolutely Wonderful Show!!!

VHS : The Twilight Zone Christmas: Night of the Meek
Youtube is a really good thing. I was watching some old Honeymooners skits and remembered how powerful Art Carney's performance in this episode was. I watched it a couple of times today and it really touches me today as it did almost twenty years ago, simply wonderful. Christmas is really more than barging up and down dept store aisles. I wonder how many Christmas specials made today would include the dialogue "and we will thank God for miracles".

VHS : Star Trek - The Original Series, Episode 76: Requiem For Methuselah
From the storyline and props, one can easily see that this episode is one of the last ones in the series. Flint is a man who was somehow born as an immortal on Earth. Growing weary of watching loved ones age and die and forced to move on before people recognized his true condition, he has traveled to Holberg 917-G.
A deadly epidemic of Rigellian fever is sweeping through the crew of the Enterprise and the antidote, a substance called ryetalyn is found on Holberg 917-G. Kirk leads a landing party to the surface and they are attacked by a floating robot called M4. Flint is accompanied by the beautiful and brilliant Rayna and Flint claims her as his ward. As you can surmise 20 seconds after Kirk meets her, he falls for her and she falls for him.
This leads to Kirk engaging in a battle with Flint over her loyalties ... Read More
