It's baseball season

Vic and Rush and Russell (not to mention Mr. Sludge [White Sox] and Fred Stembottom [Dizzy Dean]) all loved baseball - and I do too.  Sunday evening is "Opening Day" and Monday is "Opening Day" as well.  My favorite team plays on the West coast Monday night, beginning at 10 pm, Eastern time.  I have to stay up all hours.  That's the price one must pay.

That gives me all day Monday to work on Vic and Sade.  The thing is, the next thing in line is a script, one of those so-called "dirty scripts"... that is, a script that's been written on (I do believe it was from the hand of Clarance Hartzell.)  I do hate to 'clean' these scripts up but it's for the better,  It makes them much easier to read.  Here's an example of the clean up:


It won't be a one day job.  It might take two or three.  And it's baseball season. And it's Opening Week.  I might disappear for a bit, but it won't be for long.

Play ball!

"I wouldn't dirty my shoe kicking him downstairs"

Sade doesn't like Hank Gutstop. Or his Christmas Scheme. Now with partial script and a more-detailed synopsis. And some other junk.

Vic, Sade and Rush have breakfast

It's not the focal point of 33-09-15 Thimble Club Inspection Trip, but the episode shows the Gook family did eat breakfast every once in a while.

New commentary, trivia and a partial script and synopsis.

Lots of new info on the original audition for 'Vic and Sade'

If you are a fan of the show, please take the time to see the new info, the new synopsis and new dialog and my new commentary and trivia for the original auiditon.

I found out a lot of things I didn't know this morning as I put this episode together for the website.  Vic and Sade were highly different creatures back then, but there are hints to things... well, I'll leave it at that.  I hope you will take the time to thoroughly review this, it definitely will not be a waste of your time.

Rush's invention

This 1933 episode hints at slapstick comedy.  The ending was probably fun to hear.  But all we have is a printed synopsis and a few lines of dialog.  And it still works.

Check out 33-07-07 Rush the Inventor, and read my commentary and brief trivia, which speak about the early years of the show.

Consolidated Kitchenware used skulls on their certificates!

Vic is involved in who-knows-what down there.  Perhaps he sacrifices the 'kids in the office' to the Pickle and Olive Shoe goddess...

Actually, the Gooks all want their pictures displayed on the wall.  THE HORROR.  It all works out and no one gets killed.  I've added all new commentary.

Cecil passes on

We never got to hear the exploits of Cecil, but I imagine him to be a lot like Howard.  He dies in this episode and a further look at the new material we have, shows us this might be a 'hidden gem'.  At the very least, a nice episode.

I've got some fun notes and trivia for you, plus some dandy dialog and a first class synopsis.

Cliche' Rhymer?

A pre-Rush dud isn't out of the question. Check out 32-07-01 Vic's Lunch Delays Sade, a script that seems a bit tired.  However, my notes and commentary are all new and there's some dialog and a synopsis that are also new.

Mushy Sade wants action!

Let's boil it down... Mushy Sade wants action!  Will she get action or will Vic fall asleep on the davenport?  Pre-Hays' Code radio may surprise you.  See a brand new commentary and some new dialog and synopsis for 32-07-04 Sade Wants to Communicate.
