Bosom Buddies and Ronald Reagan
This evening, digitized the next two episodes from "season four" of the Tape and Record Show Enterprises flagship series "The Tape and Record Show" from the original cheap "broadcast" version cassettes...
"The Tape & Record Show: Episode 358, Broadcast Friday, September 24, 1982 at 10:00pm central. Theme Music: NBC News Theme(Henry Mancini). "Bosom Buddies: The Grandfather" - Henry saves the life of a little girl who turns out to be the granddaughter of a mob boss. / "Bosom Buddies: Hildy's Dirt Nap" - A middle-aged man falls in love with Hildy, so Henry fakes Hildy's death. / "The Elvis Presley Story, Part 12: Ed Sullivan Show".
The Tape & Record Show: Episode 359, Broadcast Friday, October 1, 1982 at 10:00pm central. Theme Music: NBC News Theme(Henry Mancini). "The First Family Rides Again" - Rich Little pokes fun at the Presidency. Reagan: Rich Little, Nancy: Melanie Chartoff, Little Boy: Herve Villechaize, Mr. Bill: Walter Williams, Jimmy Carter: Richard Paul, Psychiatrist: Michael Richards. Produced by Earle Dowd. / "The Elvis Presley Story, Part 13: Treat Me Nice" / "Mr. Night"(Kenny Loggins)."
Episode 358 is an obvious "before and after" example. The first "Bosom Buddies" audio from an episode was recorded back when I was using a microphone held up to a TV speaker (I can tell from the audio quality). Second "Bosom Buddies" in the episode, the sound quality was noticeably better, because it was recorded from a TV I had at the time with a headphone jack, so I patched it directly into the cassette recording deck. Tape and Record Show Enterprises "technology" was slowly improving. Also, around the middle of that first "Bosom Buddies" episode, because of my sloppy editing out commercial breaks at the time, you briefly hear an announcement from the TV station, "KLAA TV-14". This was local KARD before the call letters were changed. I had left the closing promos for other ABC shows during the closing theme of the second "Bosom Buddies" episode, so you hear mentions of "Best of the West", "Making A Living"(aka "It's A Living"), "Barney Miller", and "Taxi".
Episode 359 contains the LP release "The First Family Rides Again", an attempt to re-create the concept of "The First Family" album from 1962 by Vaughn Meader which spoofed John F. Kennedy, this album spoofing Ronald Reagan.
Didn't attempt converting a third hour tonight, because storms are moving into the area, and I didn't want to risk a power outage midway through a conversion. I'd have to start one all over again if that happened.
