AUDIO: DANGEROUS ASSIGNMENT: “Flying Saucers”!

There are all kinds of dangers an adventurer might face.  But nothing more intriguing than …

“Flying Saucers” originally aired on “Dangerous Assignment” on April 17, 1950.    This is one of the shows from the early fifties that had both radio and television versions airing at the same time, and featuring the same cast.  The TV series was somewhat obscure, and hard to find.  But now, thanks to Hulu, the series can be watched for free.  The television series only had a single 39 episode season.  Hulu has made all the episodes available.  The radio series ran for three years.  About 90 episodes have survived.  But series star the always reliable Brian Donlevy.

VIDEO: Twin UFOs Over Atlanta!

Intriguing video.  The consistent luminous density of the objects, and lack of atmospheric distortion, suggests trickery.   However,  there’s a subtle separation and concretion in the pairing that seems too clever hoaxer.   Or are they just planes?  Judge for yourself.

Video: DOCTOR WHO Mini-episode Written by Kids!

Here’s the “Doctor Who” mini-episode that appeared on the legendary British children’s program “Blue Peter”.    The script was written by children who won a competition to write a short “Doctor Who” episode which somehow involved the 2012 London Olympic.  We think they did a great job.  And, with no “Doctor Who” until fall, this mini-episode makes a nice little bonus to tide fans over.

“Touch” Has Strong Premiere Ratings!

 

Fox’s new drama from “Heroes” creator Tim Kring, premiered strongly, landing a 3.2/9 rating/share with the 18-49 demo.  However, this is down seven tenths from the special airing of its first episode last month.  Still,  it easily won its time slot, beating even the NCAA Basketball game.  In fact, the only show which out-performed on the night was its lead-in “American Idol”.
