Conference noted::sf

rumor has it that there will be one episode of the Mary Tyler Moore
show braodcast at about 04:00, just to see if anyone is awake.

I sat through it all. (And there was no Mary Tyler Moore...)

I only wish they would have a marathon of the 1-hour episodes.
There are a large number of them that haven't been shown in
many years.

I think a local channel here in Atlanta is going to show more (either a repeat
of the marathon or more 'new' ones).  This might just be rumor, though.

    Did anyone catch the 13 hour Twilight Zone marathon on WPIX channel 11
    here in New York?  I was able to see only two episodes.  Both of which
    I'd never seen before.  The first one starring a very young Robert
    Duvall who falls in love with a miniature in a dollhouse.  The second
    starred James Whitmore who plays a megalomaniac in charge of a failed
    colony on another planet whose people are eventually rescued by a ship
    from EArth.

    Oh, I LOVED "The Dollhouse"!  I only saw it once (when there was a
    local TZ marathon in the Nashua NH area) and even tho "they" decided to
    colorize part of it, it was STILL a wonderful episode...one of my
    favorites (right up there with "The Invaders" and "Occurrance at Owl
    Creek Bridge").

    Re .5: The dollhouse story is "Miniature" (see also .0) - a very nice
    episode. The other episode you mention was called something like "We're
    Leaving on Thursday," or "Next Thursday We Go Home" (the mind is a
    terrible thing to lose); that one I remember seeing on its first run,
    back in <mumblety-mumble>...

    Close, Beth. It's "On Thursday We Leave for Home".

    I recall hearing that _The Dollhouse_ was the only 1/2 hour 
    TZ that was (even partially) shot in color. (And remember the one 
    with Agnes Moorehead and the little flying saucer? Half hour with 
    no dialogue at all! Great acting!)

    re:.9
    
    First, as Beth mentioned, the title is "Miniature". Second, it was
    shot completely in black & white. When it was pulled out of limbo
    almost 10 years ago, the dollhouse segments were colorized.

    I noticed the colorized segments in "Miniature."  Does anyone know why
    they colorized just those segments and not the whole show?  Have they
    colorized any other TZ episodes?

    Angela Moorehead?  little flying saucer?  Ohhhh, that goes WAY back!
    
    Is the plot something like "little flying saucer, flown by aliens 4"
    tall, crash lands in attic of shack.  Shack is defended by grumpy old
    woman.   Alien weapons are of marginal use against grumpy old woman
    (they can burn her skin like a candle flame, but not do much more). 
    She gets mad and wastes the aliens with common household appliances"
    
    What was the _name_ of that episode???  And you're right, it's great
    writing AND great acting.

    	� Does anyone know why they colorizes just those segments
    	and not the whole show? �
    
    For the same reasons that the Oz scenes in THE WIZARD OF OZ are in
    color while the Kansas scenes are in black-&-white. In fact, if memory
    serves, they went one step further with "Miniature". It seems to me
    that there was at least one shot of the dollhouse interior inset
    against a background shot of the "real world" and only the dollhouse
    part of the frame was colorized.
    
    re:.12
    
    It's titled "The Invaders", and it's one of the episodes currently
    available on tape and disc. The next time you drop by to see Eir�kur,
    remind me, and I'll spin up the disc.

    Re .11: Presumably, to highlight the enchanted unreality of the
    dollhouse scenes, and/or make "real life" drab by contrast. I found
    that it was distracting, but then I'm not a fan of the
    paint-by-number-on-film contingent...
    
    Re .12: Yes, what an episode that was! Funny thing is that, before the
    spacemen showed up, it was doing a bang-up job of depicting squalor,
    dejection, and ignorance, to a degree that I hadn't seen done on
    television before (and very seldom since)...

    The local cable channel here in Maynard, Mass. runs WPIX, so we managed
    to see a good portion of the marathon.
    
    I walked into work yesterday, and changed the personal name for my mail
    to...
    
    	"From dust to dessert..."
    
    ... in honor of one episode, which I had heard of many times, but not seen.

    Is this the same Angela Moorehead who use to appear on "Bewitched" as
    the mother-in-law?

    Re: .12 - "Invaders"
    
    It's AGNES Moorehead...isn't it?
    
    K.C.

    Yes, it's Agnes Moorhead, and yes, she was the mother on BEWITCHED.
    She was also a member of Orson Welles' Mercury Theater group, and
    played in a number of classic films. For example, she plays Charles
    Foster Kane's mother in CITIZEN KANE.
