Special Delivery – Midnight Lace

With fall now upon us and the days getting cooler it’s nice to be able to settle in with a classic film and a hot cup of tea and this 1960’s thriller starring Doris Day and Rex Harrison certainly lives up to that scenario.

Picture yourself living on Grosvenor Square in London and returning home in a dense fog. Then from out of the fog you hear an eerie, electronic-like voice calling you by name threatening to kill you within the month, tormenting you as you run to escape!

That’s exactly what happens to newlywed Kit Preston (Doris Day) one evening on her way home. Terrified she confides in her husband Tony (Rex Harrison) who tries to convince her that she has been the victim of a practical joker and suggests they travel to Venice for the honeymoon they never had.

Do they make it Venice for their honeymoon or has Kit been murdered by the person with the mysterious voice? Find out in Midnight Lace!

In Search of Saturday

Welcome to “In Search of Saturdays" an advertising space I’ve designed to help our members find those long lost movies, cartoons, TV shows, toys, games and anything else that we’ve all been looking for, for a very long time.

The instructions are simple. Post your personal “looking for” list in the comments and we’ll all see if we can help you find what you’re looking for. - This will be a group effort please.

If you can’t remember the name of a show or toy that’s alright, post what you can remember and maybe someone here will be able to tell you what it is. Also please remember that if you are listing television shows or movies please let us know if you are looking to purchase these shows or if you just want to watch them online. Then we, the members of the group, will help try to help each other and go “in search of” those items for our fellow members.

A good places to start our searches is iOffer (http://www.ioffer.com/) which, in my opinion, is better than eBay b/c you can find lots of shows there that you can’t find anywhere else.

An Autographed Pic From MARC SUMMERS!!!

Check out what FINALLY came on Saturday!!! Now before anyone goes bonkers asking me how I got this I emailed Mr. Summers the night of the live Double Dare event that was hosted by The Splat back in July. He gave me his assistant’s email and had me get in touch with him. The gentlemen has been very busy and was only now able to send it to me. That being said, I asked him if I was allowed to give out his email address know that all of you would want an autographed photo of your own. His response was:

“They will need to send a self-addressed large envelope to me at:

Ryan Coyne

601 Walnut St

STE 1150w Box 38

Philadelphia, PA 19106”

Keep in mind that this is an standard 8 ½ by 11 photo so the postage on your envelop must accommodate for this. Also, mine was slightly bent b/c the mailman has to put it in my mailbox, if you do not want yours bend you will have to provide cardboard or something to keep it from bending and allow for that in your SASE.

***DISCLAIMER***

IF your photo is damaged or bent no one with the Classic Nickelodeon Fan Blog, the Bring Back Double Dare F/B page, the A New Beginning For Classic Nickelodeon yahoo email group, Mr. Summers or Mr. Coyne is responsible.

Special Delivery – Escape to Grizzly Mountain

In this charming story a boy is moved by the plight of an abused cub kept by an unscrupulous circus owner. As he attempts a rescue of the cub he befriends a Native American trainer troubled by his own collaboration with the cruel circus owner. He tells the boy of a mystical cave where "the pure of heart" can travel back to a simpler past. Realizing that may be the only way to recuse the bear cub the boy sets out to find the cave but when the cub escapes his leash and the boy travels back into the 1841 wilderness and meets Haggerty's mountain man alone. Together they devise a plan to rescue the bear cub which involves Haggerty traveling to the future to help out. As the disclaimer states, this movie may feature Grizzly Adams himself, Dan Haggerty, but it's not about Grizzly Adams. Instead, it's
