ROCKY KING DETECTIVE with Roscoe Karns

Here's another rare Dumont show that starred Roscoe Karns that lasted for a good chunk of Dumonts run. Karns apparently wrote a number of these shows as well.

Re: Examiner Review of SMILEAGE GUARANTEED

Even better, now Neibaur has rewritten his review to downgrade the book further, dropping it from four stars to three, removing the part where he feels the typos are not the Authors fault, and now questioning whether the book is worth $59, among other changes. And as he said the review was not about...

Re: Richard M.Roberts Banned from Nitrateville

I posted the Marcel Perez death certificate info to nitrateville, silent comedians.com and silentcomedymafia.com one right after the other on June 1, and to date there have been well over 500 views on nitrateville and 25 comments; 160 views on silentcomedymafia.com and 3 comments; and 137 views and...

Re: Richard M.Roberts Banned from Nitrateville

Boy, you know, I keep looking back at ol Nutrateville to see what's going on, but the incredible dullness of the place is getting just amazing. I do notice the all-important "civility" seems to be going down the toilet on just as regular a basis since my departure, and the funny thing is t...

My Lunches With Orson by Peter Biskind

The great pleasure I experienced while in Washington DC/Culpeper last week was to get the chance to read a review/pre-release copy of MY LUNCHES WITH ORSON, Peter Biskind’s compilation of Henry Jaglom’s recorded luncheon conversations with Orson Welles at the Mai Maison in Hollywood. Though I will n...

Excerpt from early GARRY MOORE SHOW 12/7/1951

How do explain a performer like Garry Moore to somebody today? He was one of the biggest things in Television in the 50's and 60's, and if you can find any footage of him, showing it to someone just makes people scratch their heads now. Who can really understand that in the early of Days of Televisi...

Re: Examiner Review of SMILEAGE GUARANTEED

Well, I see that over on Nutrateville that Neibaur’s trying to defend his review in a sort of practiced but “protesteth too much” sort of way that I'll bet he rehearsed as he wrote the review in fear I would call him on it, which means, dammit, I’m going to have to waste my time with Slapsticon two ...

Hello Pasquale, and welcome to the Group!

Nope, don't do Cinecon anymore, but if you're in the Los Angeles area, we may be doing a Larry Edmunds Bookstore signing some time this Summer.

Re: Examiner Review of SMILEAGE GUARANTEED

So, I see over at Nutrateville that ol’ AzJazzman has joined in with Neibaur to try to take some swipes at the book. No surprise again there, as said before Az Jazzman has been stalking me on various newsgroups since I cut off all personal contact with him in 1998, and for someone who claims he actu...
