Similiar to The Crazy World?

Have you see Laura Leff's books about The Jack Benny Show?

Look through one of her books.

Very similar to what was done at the Crazy World.

Here's the other volume.

Here you go:

I have tons of new Idelson photos as a child- but am saving those for January 1st (not really, you can find them under "Bill Idelson" on the left-hand side of The Crazy World.)

"New" article

Added a "new" article (it was on the OTRr Buffet) called "It Might Be Your Family."

This is a very large article and I moved things around to make it easier to read. FIND IT HERE.

Last post for the Crazy World?

Well, today I uploaded what "seems" to be the last post for The Crazy World of Vic and Sade.  I suppose I'll come across more stuff in my lifetime - maybe a few wayward scripts or maybe someone else will make a trek to the library in Wisconsin (I sure hope they do) or magazine articles or audio clips where people tell about a story we don't have (I actually have 2 more of those but I'm waiting on an email that will help determine a date for each.)

I hope we are able to find oodles and oceans of more stuff... but I'm not counting on it.  I never thought we'd have anything close to what we have now!

There is still work to be done though, and I'm busy doing it.  I hope to have about 20 new very cool items for you by the first of January and perhaps a few more after that.  It's never-ending!

I ask again, if you are a fan of the show, I'd like to "interview" you via email and ask you 10-15 questions.  I'd love for you to be a part of what we have going on here.  Feel free to leave a comment of email me at jim.at.the.library@gmail.com.

The Inter-Ocean Parabolic blog reminds us that this is the year Rush was to die

I've already posted the script, Rush Plots His Future to the Year 2000, earlier this year and I reminded you once that Rush predicted 2012 to be the year of his death - but it's worth mentioning again, since my blog with also "end" (well...) after 2012. Ironic, no?

The Inter-Ocean Parabolic Blog reminds us too.

RUSH: [Reads] Twenty-hundred an' twelve - die, an' have a great big monument with electric lights on it.

Addition to episode 39-12-25

I found a newspaper note that gives some details about some dates of Art Van Harvey's first illness.

Therefore, I added a note to the end of episode 39-12-25 Sorting Christmas Cards (it's the episode where Vic says only one line; I speculate this wasn't Vic at all or at the very least may have been from a transcription disc.)

"Other Stuff" page

On the Crazy World of Vic and Sade website, I've added a page called "OTHER STUFF"; (left hand side, almost at the bottom of the long list of links) - a better name for it might be "The Best of Vic and Sade Notebook" because it contains the tangible materials I find and report here.

I still hope you will frequent this blog, despite "the best of" approach.  It's only provided because so few frequent this blog.

Known nicknames of Russell (from episodes without audio)

These notes were probably taken and distributed by Richard E. Hunton.

WAIT - just THREE episodes left

Earlier today I wrote, "Although one never knows what one will find" when I was telling you I only had two episodes left.

Well, I just found another full script, one I do not ever remember seeing before - and it's from 1932, making it the earliest script I have seen, period!  I will post sometime before January 1st.

And you never know what you will find!

Just two episodes left

The long journey of posting episodes is drawing to a close.  There are just two more known episodes to post (although one never knows what one will find.)

I first envisioned this day in July of this year.  I was about 10 episodes from being finished before I was given the notes from The Friends of Vic and Sade.

The amount of episodes is staggering - the 2 episodes remaining will make a grand total of 606 episodes.  Find another website that extensively looks at over 600 episodes!

When the episodes are finished - and after January 1st (the 'Spectacular') I will slowly begin touching things up and making The Crazy World of Vic and Sade an even better web site.

Thanks to everyone who helped make it all possible.

Just don't forget about the last 2 episodes and January 1st!

Thanks,
Jimbo

Catnip: Egress to Oblivion? in the Sundance Film Festival

I mentioned sometime back about the superb video about catnip done by Jason Willis.

The video is superb, plus, Mr. Willis is a Vic and Sade fan and added little Vic and Sade references in the video (below are a couple of stills I grabbed from the video showing at least 2 things.)

He claims there are about five... help me find the rest.

Not only is it a superb video - it's been chosen to be in the Sundance film festival.  That's a HUGE deal.  He reads my site - I am so honored!

Here again (worth another mention) is his SUPERB video on catnip:

What's the point of this?

Did Sade secretly hate the Brainfeebles?

Photo evidence says she might have...
