TVC 644.6a: Greg Ehrbar discusses the Kino Lorber Blu-ray release of The Daydreamer (1966), a feature-length live-action and Animagic-animated adaptation of some of the most famous fairytales of Hans Christian Andersen that was produced by Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass, and which featured the talents of Hayley Mills, Tallulah Bankhead, Jack Guilford, Margaret Hamilton, Ray Bolger, Boris Karloff, Burl Ives, Victor Borge, Terry-Thomas, Ed Wynn, Patty Duke, and Robert Goulet. Though unsuccessful at the box office at the time it was originally released, The Daydreamer, in many respects, served as a precursor to the many television specials that Rankin-Bass produced throughout the 1970s.

TVC 642.3: Ed welcomes Julie Rogers Pomilia, the youngest daughter of Tom Fox (the only biological son of Dale Evans by her first marriage), and the granddaughter of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, the Royal Western Couple of American pop culture, and the "Brad and Angelina" of their era.

Topics this segment include some of the many ways in Roy and Dale were both ahead of their time, including Roy's business savvy (and, particularly, his understanding of "branding" into marketing and advertising, long before branding as we know it today came to be), his love of gemstones, and the value he put on loyalty. Your Heroes, My Grandparents: A Granddaughter's Love is available through Briton Publishing and Amazon.com.
