Bonus Video– From 1973 — Nimoy hosts A.M. New York, interviews Philippe Halsman

Posted on November 9, 2012 | 2 comments

A little shout-out to Scrapper (that’s my nickname for all who follow this blog) Winston, who referred me to this delicious tidbit of Mr. Nimoy hosting a New York City morning talk show in 1973 called “A.M. New York”. I have never seen this and in all my years of watching Nimoy, I never knew about this! However, Win, take note that this was filmed in ’73, which was four years before Nimoy’s Broadway work in Equus.   So this was sometime after Mission Impossible and sometime around The Alpha Caper, (hence the scruffiness).   You can see here how budding photographer Nimoy is totally enamored of legendary photographer Halsman, and probably (accidentally) ignores the legendary, funny Kaye Ballard!  (Maybe her segment was earlier? Kaye, if you’re reading this, let us know!)

Wideo Wednesday — 9/12-16/ 1977, Leonard and Bill on the $20,000 Pyramid!

Posted on November 7, 2012 | 1 comment

Here’s some videos of the famous week of appearances by William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy on Dick Clark’s $20,000 Pyramid in 1977!  (I’m guessing the Pyramid amount doubled for inflation!)

As I mentioned in today’s Daily Scrapbook, Nimoy was a great player and had played this several times, Bill was…well, Bill, and he famously throws a chair at one point! I’m very grateful to the videographer  Hondo, who resuscitated these. The quality isn’t great, but they’re still enjoyable!

Warning, Shatner wears some eye-scarring 70’s qiana shirts!  Nimoy is ever cool, of course 😉 The first clip begins with a flashback of Nimoy hugging an ecstatic contestant 🙂

Wideo Wednesday – Stuff of Dreams, Happy Halloween!

Posted on October 31, 2012 | Leave a comment

Not Star Trek, but  Gilligan’s Island — A wonderful compilation of the dream sequences and to me, the best feature of GI!  Always great to see the GI actors out of character an in costume! (And it does begin and end with a vampire!)

Wideo Wednesday -10/24/12 What’s in Spock’s Scanner? Parts I,II,III

Posted on October 24, 2012 | 1 comment

VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED  (For written profanity and some gross-out humor, porn reference)

As requested by a member — “What’s in Spock’s Scanner, Parts I,II, and III.    These are very clever mash-ups with lots of side glances and double takes.  It appears that Spock spends a lot of work hours looking at ‘Spacebook’!   Love the Kirk gag in part one, giving the illusion of a hand-held camera view of his antics on Platonius.  Not too thrilled with the written profanity, gross-out humor, and reference to tacky porn.  But on the whole, it has some very funny moments.

Congrats to Blackmoon Productions for all it’s hard work. Enjoy.

New Feature — Wideo Wednesdays

Posted on October 17, 2012 | 3 comments

Here’s another new feature for your Trek TOS enjoyment!  Everyone love original videos, and there have been tons these on YouTube, dedicated to Trek in all it’s forms.  Every Wednesday this feature will be showcasing either a clever fan video, tribute or parody, and anything else interesting for your enjoyment.

To start things off, here’s a great mash-up video by Spockboy on You Tube — Gag reel, ‘Shore Leave’  It is BRILLIANT!

I wanted to start this series with Spockboy’s Gag Reel of “A Piece of the Action” but the jerks at YouTube removed it!  If I can find it anywhere else, I will post it – it is divine!
