Inspect The Time Tunnel: A History Of The Television Series Drafted By Martin Grams Jr. Formatted As Kindle
recently started watching a complete DVD set of TT, which I had bought years ago, It brought back fond memories of grade school years, and the fun of these semihistorical adventures, I was able to track down a copy of this book on Amazon, and it is full of fun info for fans.
There are loads of photos and production drawings, details on cast, crew, budget, and music cues, and behind the scenes stories for each episode.
You'll also learn where the stock footage came from for the big battle scenes and overseas locations, The author has brought together previouslypublished interviews with the cast and crew, as well as reviews from magazines and newspapers of the period.
At overpages, it's a hefty volume,
I wish there had been more details about the music, How many musicians played on the sessions Did the composers use different combinations of instruments for their assigned episodes Where did the stock music come from The latter question is answered for some of the scores but not all.
The budget information is interesting, but generally repetitive, Question: each episode hasK for "fringe benefits, " What in the world are those
All in all, Mr, Grams has done a fine job for TT fans, I would recommend this book to anyone with fond TV memories from thes, The Time Tunnel was by no means a superb product of Friday night entertainment, If the plot holes were not as large as the tunnel itself, viewers noticed the same props from Allen's other television programs popping up on the show.
Fan boys to this day still debate whether the futuristic episodes involving space aliens were better than the historic adventures, but few would deny that Lee Meriwether made a lab coat look sexy.
Meriwether herself recalled how the cast received letters from school teachers who used The Time Tunnel to stimulate interest in history in the classroom.
Thispage book documents the entire history of the program, the origin and conception of the series, why it never ran a second season, almostneverbeforepublished behindthescenes photographs, and a detailed episode guide including dates of production, music cues, episode budgets, salary costs, deleted scenes that were filmed, memories from cast and crew, bloopers, trivia and much more! Martin Grams is an author and old time radio enthusiast whose than twenty books on the subject have qualified him as an expert.
He is generous and helpful to his fans and colleagues and his name can often be found in the credits of books dedicated to radio and early television.
While he is one of the younger fans of old time radio, Martin does not like to talk
about his youth, as it proved a hindrance to him when he tried to get his first book published.
Determined, Grams decided to self publish his book about Suspense and has done so several times subsequently, In addition to writing and researching, Martin and his wife Michelle run the Mid Atlantic Nostalgia Convention in Hunt Valley, Maryland.
