- Here's the complete broadcast of a first-run episode of the short-lived adventure series Tales of the Gold Monkey, "Cooked Goose" (S01E17), as broadcast over the ABC Network via its Chicago outlet, WLS Channel 7.
This program (from the producers of Magnum, P.I.), set in the 1930's - and no doubt "inspired" by "Raiders of the Lost Ark" - starred Stephen Collins as Jake Cutter, ex-fighter pilot turned operator of an air cargo service on the island of "Bora Gora" in the South Pacific; his companions are mechanic Corky (Jeff MacKay), a government spy contact named Sarah Stickney White (Caitlin O'Heaney, later to star in another short-lived series, The Charmings, in 1987-88), and - no doubt the most popular character in the show - a one-eyed Jack Russell terrier named Jack.
Also features Marta DuBois as Princess Koji; John Calvin as "Rev." Willie Tenboom, a Nazi spy; John Fujioka as the Princess' bodyguard, Todo; and Roddy McDowall (of everything fame) as Bon Chance Louie.
In this episode, a clipper pilot honeymooning on the island (and old acquaintance of Jake's) is brutally beaten and his new wife is abducted by mercenaries, and Jake's attempt to find her is complicated by a fire on the Cutter's Goose after Corky passes out while working on it.

The MCCTv (FuzzyMemoriesTV) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s to early 80s, mostly) recorded off of TV (in Chicago or other cities now too); things which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. If you have any old 1970s videotapes recorded off of TV please email: tapes@fuzzy.tv Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical preservation. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to digital, please e-mail tapes@fuzzy.tv Thank you for your help!
I loved this show so much!! Thank you very much for this!! It is greatly appreciated!!
aaagghhh I LOOOOVE THIS SHOOW i have not seen this since 1982 in Manchester Washington state on channel 4 i miss this so much thank ya m8's for posting this i could never find any of these anymore bonzaroo this is soo cool.
Love this show! I have the DVD boxset but it's cool to see with the original commercials.
Gold Monkey may not last long, but Collins did enjoy an 11-year success with 7th Heaven.
I don't remember this show at all, but I've heard that the Disney Afternoon cartoon Tail Spin was loosely based on it.
A pity that Starfleet didn't find out what Decker did with those little girls. They would have busted him back to Ensign and assigned waste extraction unit cleaning duties to him for the rest of his career.
53:18 is actually an Alka-Seltzer spot, not Rolaids (which shows why it’s not a good idea to start your commercial by mentioning a competitor).
The ad is voiced by Joe Sirola.
Duly corrected. Now, can you say which of the two voice actors mentioned in the 9 Lives commercial voiced Morris here?
@@wmbrown6 I don't know for sure. I haven't heard a lot of either man's work except for He-Man. But I think it's most likely to be Erwin since Cait would have been only about 21 years old at the time this ad was recorded, and Erwin was still active in voice work.
One of the girls said he just walked back in the room completely nude. He admitted what he did.
I.I.N.M., in New York on sister station WABC Channel 7, the 11pm "Eyewitness News" at that time was anchored by Tom Snyder - yes, THAT Tom Snyder - and Kaity Tong. While he would later speak fondly of Roger Grimsby - and memoralize him after his death on a 1995 edition of his "Late Late Show" - Snyder largely characterized his time at WABC as a waste.
Those Procter & Gamble sponsor tags from back in the day were so cleverly staged!
Len Beardsley - who handled that tag - is perhaps most famous for his announcing duties on the weeknight editions (both early and late evening) of "Eyewitness News" on KABC Channel 7 in Los Angeles, especially on the samples elsewhere on this site when Jerry Dunphy and Christine Lund were the main anchors and Dr. George Fischbeck handled weather.
@@wmbrown6is he still around
@@kascnef - Nope. Died in 2010, aged 92.
Is it just the VHS, or did the network film chain really look and sound that crappy to live viewers compared to that alternate-source footage at 56:14?
Probably mostly the fact that this was recorded in VHS EP (6-hour) mode. I kind of feel like the color in the alternate source ending looks too fake though.
@@FuzzyMemoriesTV I actually have the Shout! Factory set of "Tales of the Golden Monkey" on DVD, which I think was used at the end of the clip. If I recall correctly, Shout! actually had to used the PAL print of this show, since there a higher pitch in the music (PAL speedup) of said clip. Those PAL prints were used earlier by Fabulous Films for their DVD's in Europe and Australia.
@@seancaruana4209 - Hmmm. Though here I heard the Universal end bumper in normal pitch.
@@FuzzyMemoriesTV - I've noticed that type of color on a lot of home video releases of old film-based TV shows compared to when they were originally aired.
Aside from the low VHS quality, apparently RCA film chains (probably TK-28 at this stage) were used to process the video signal of the 35mm film that, in turn, was transferred to videotape for airing. Now if you want to see really cr*ppy video from this period, watch something from CBS. Their once-vaunted GE PE-24 and PE-240 chains (purchased and installed between 1965 and 1966), in terms of their performance, really went to seed in this decade, to the point where production companies went to other sources to transfer filmed shows to video rather than take a chance with CBS's film chains at either Television City in Hollywood or the Broadcast Center in New York. I saw a 1980 promo for a John Wayne film they were to air (I think it was "The Shootist") where it looked like the entire picture was filmed with bad fluorescent lighting. (I actually worked as an associate editor on a video where several scenes were shot in rooms with fluorescent lighting, and believe me, skin tones look really you-know-what through said lighting - and Wayne's and the other actors' skin tones looked really unreal on that promo.)
I have a hard time watching anything with Stephen Collins anymore…

@@richarddeckard6527 😂 What on earth are you on about, brother? Give me more insights into my character, Nostradamus.
For crying out loud, let's just drop it and enjoy the old show.
@@FuzzyMemoriesTV That’s fair, brother.
@@FuzzyMemoriesTV THANK YOU.
Awesome
Disney's Tailspin is a total copy of this show.
The creators of that were inspired by this.
@@wmbrown6 many argue against. Even after showing the similarities. I just shrug.
@@wmbrown6 there was even a reviewer that never mentioned it.
@@wmbrown6 Oliver Harper's retrospective claims are different.
@@TheMoneypresident - A certain 'pedia made this claim. Unless it was how I read it.

young thin John Goodman for York Peppermint patty
Weird! I always thought this show was like a _Twilight Zone_ or _Ray Bradbury Theatre_ sort of thing! Had no idea it was an Indiana Jones knockoff!
TV has never really been known for originality.
That’s funny. I guess if you never saw the show and just read the title I could see that. Sort of like Tales of the Unexpected.
@@FuzzyMemoriesTV - Which one? ;-) Quinn Martin's, or Roald Dahl's?
I remember watching that movie Deadly Lessons when it came on that Monday night.
