    That guy who was scared of The Mole Men was probably the sorta kid who was afraid of clowns and hand puppets too. Gotta wonder how he reacted to all those old Universal horror films released to tv back then that were airing on those Shock Theaters and Creature Features all across the country at that time.
    Beverly who played the sweet little girl on so many of those great old shows has obviously grown into a poised, classy and equally sweet lady. Her sharing those great stories from her acting career was a real treat.
    Loved the one about Ward Bond's on set cussing, and the scolding he got from The Welfare lady.
    Guessing those ladies don't exist anymore. I mean, imagine having that job of protecting sensitive ears today on the sets of shows like The Sopranos or Ray Donovan.

    I guess I'm to young, and still old. I only remember Beverly from Disney's Old Yeller. Didn't realize she was that little girl in the Superman And The Molemen episode which became the pilot for the tv show, she just had a brief appearance. By the way, I'd never even heard of Spider Baby til I saw another interview of her's on this same channel a while back, which you can watch on youtube. Very freaky movie, probably inspired a lot of 70's horror movies including The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
    As I grew older, not a big fan of horror movies but I did get curious and watched Spider Baby.

    • @AWordonWesterns
      @AWordonWesterns  3 года назад +5

      Thanks, Spockboy, glad you enjoy our programs. Here's an explanation regarding the episode lengths: When we began broadcasting the series in January 2014, most viewers watched on their phones, so we were advised to keep the segments at the then acceptable length of 3-4 minutes, discussing a single topic, excerpted from the original 15 minute live interviews. It took about 15 hours per week to edit these short episodes and produce the series. Times and viewing habits (and viewing screen size) have changed. So, viewer acceptance for longer segments is now possible and we have been extending the running times of new episodes, trying to make them a minimum 10 minutes in length. That means production time for me is now 30 hours a week, 52 weeks out of the year. I'm attempting to produce and launch a new episode every Sunday and always feel the pressure of (my self imposed) schedule. No reruns, no vacation.
      As new western fans discover our channel and subscribe, I’ve even begun to re-edit some of our earliest shows together, combining them into one longer interview, like the compilation of “Lonesome Dove” segments with producer Suzanne de Passe and "The Wild Bunch" anniversary tribute with Bo Hopkins and L.Q. Jones. With the recent back-to-back passing of Fred Willard and Richard Herd, both early guests, I re-edited their segments into long episodes to pay tribute to them. I plan to continue compiling and lengthening our older interviews, enhanced with new graphics and illustrations, to showcase previous guests. In fact, for our May 2020 A WORD ON WAYNE celebration, I re-edited and posted both the Patrick Wayne and Gregg Palmer interviews. For me, it was worth the extra effort.
      We know that a regular weekly posting is better for viewers, so, rather than post a 30-minute episode once a month, we strive to deliver weekly episodes. With nearly 7 years of uninterrupted delivery, it is relentless, especially now that I’m producing episodes at the longer 10-15 minute length. This series is not a podcast and each episode usually has 70-100 graphics and illustrations, which, with researching, selecting, copying and sizing graphics, color correction, sound mixing and booking guests, all adds to my overall weekly workload. The individual finished episodes are launched on Sunday mornings. The episodes with common themes are placed together in the RUclips Playlist section and can be viewed back-to-back, a la Netflix style binging.
      Before the Coronavirus shut us down, we had been taping a live interview show every other month with 3 or 4 guests at The Autry Museum in Los Angeles, packing their theater with filmmakers, historians and western hungry film and TV fans. The length of the live interviews depends a lot on how many scheduled guests can make the taping; some now have run as long as 25 minutes. We don’t know when we will be able to resume taping new programs, but I miss the fun and comradery with our guests and audience.
      Because of the pandemic, I’m stuck at home anyway, and decided that I may as well add to my already full weekly editing schedule by starting a new Wednesday nostalgia series, WAYBACK ON WEDNESDAYS. It has been fun to see the response and all of the new film and TV buffs who have discovered both our series. They are “stuck at home,” too, so we’re all experiencing some fun nostalgic viewing adventures together.
      Hope a lot of you out there are enjoying both series and are able to join us for A WORD ON WESTERNS live taping of interviews for that series in person sometime soon. It's a blast! You viewers out there know a lot about film and TV history! Thanks for watching, sharing, subscribing and commenting. That’s what helps keep us going. Until they cart me off to Boot Hill, there are newer, longer, episodes coming every week! Adios, til the next new episode.
