FANTASTIC ADDITION TO THE SITE !


(5 stars)

Congrats ! Many thanks for this addition to the Site...and for all of your hard work ! I've been a Broadcaster & Producer myself since 1967...so I know the work that goes into such a structured, seamless, production as this one. (Here's a GREAT hour-long Christmas "cross-over" presentation for you: "The Great Gildersleeve" 12-21-1941 & "Fibber McGee & Molly" 12-23-1941. "McGee's Christmas Present"/"Gildersleeve's Christmas Present". A very funny, very early cross-over between the two shows, after Gildersleeve had left Wistful Vista and comes back to visit, and give McGee a present.) Again, thanks for sharing this superb production !

Thank you, Jonnie King. Yes, I am quite enjoying putting the show together. Your suggestions sound like they would be a great complement to the show. I will definitely check them out. I love Gildersleeve when he was a spinoff-- and the great Kraft commercials. The crossover could be in an upcoming Christmas edition! BTW, just getting the finishing touches on Production 1-02 and should be up on the archive this weekend. Thanks again for the great feedback! -JGO

Thanks so much for your time and effort! This is such a great way to break out of my comfort zone and expose myself to new genres that I generally wouldn't try!
