Last Of Latenight
Today, I digitized the remaining four existing episodes of the short-lived "TRS Latenight" series produced by Tape and Record Show Enterprises in the 1980's...
"TRS Latenight: Episode 12, Broadcast Friday, October 31, 1986 at 11:00pm central. Theme Music: Star Wars(John Williams). Host Albert Sims and this week's co-host Paul Morrison discuss the following topics: the Downsville woman who was putting down "The Far Side" comic strip by Gary Larson, attempts to relocate the "Skatetown" crew from the live special from 1982, James and Michelle Stricklin's possible separation, the Ruston,Louisiana "Monkee's" concert, and a review of "The Ellen Bursten Show" on ABC-TV.
TRS Latenight: Episode 13, Broadcast Friday, November 21, 1986 at 11:00pm central. Theme Music: Star Wars(John Williams). Albert Sims and co-anchor Paul Morrison present part one of a series looking at pornography, including excerpts from a recent "Phil Donahue Show" episode.
TRS Latenight: Episode 14, Broadcast Friday, December 5, 1986 at 11:00pm central. Theme Music: Star Wars(John Williams). Profiles of three show business personalities who passed away in the past two weeks. Featured are tributes to Scatman Crothers (1914-1986), Cary Grant (1904-1986), and Desi Arnaz (1917-1986). Albert Sims and Paul Morrison host.
TRS Latenight: Episode 15, Broadcast Friday, March 6, 1987 at 11:00pm central. Theme Music: Star Wars(John Williams). Host Albert Sims with guests James Stricklin and Jerry Sanders discuss the following topics: celebrity deaths, Oral Roberts, Jerry's belief of the Bruce Willis special "The Return of Bruno", James and Michelle's parting ways, Randy Haney as an intelligence agent, the "Clyde" mystery, and James' secret feelings toward Randy's cousin Darla.
**CURRENTLY MISSING** TRS Latenight: Episode 16, Broadcast Friday, March 13, 1987 at 11:00pm central. Theme Music: Star Wars(John Williams). Albert Sims and Paul Morrison discuss Paul's new girlfriend, and the sudden rash of radio stations dropping the nationally syndicated "Dr. Demento Show". [Last Show of the Series]"
As discussed in episode 12, we apparently finally got in touch with the "Fern Land" we tried calling the previous episode. She didn't want to be heard "on air", but that didn't really matter anyway, since due to technical issues, the recording didn't pick up on tape.
In episode 15, I discussed getting a vasectomy with my tax refund. I wasn't able to get one at the time, since doctors, at least in this state, wouldn't perform one unless you already had one child, or was at least 30 years old.
Random Observation: A "TRS Latenight" episode co-hosted by James Stricklin and Jerry Sanders is a VAST contrast from episodes co-hosted by Paul Morrison.
Frankly, since this series was VERY "topical" every week, thus having no "rerun" value, I'm amazed I was able to locate 15 out of the 16 produced episodes in the archives.
