BB37 03-16-2009, 09:28 PM That's right! And it was a disaster. Back in the "Day" actors thought nothing of live TV. It was a normal thing. Yeah, there were goofs, just like a play, but they'd make the best of it with improvisation or simply ignoring the back drop that was on fire. I doubt that most of today's TV actors have what it takes. Today's live theater is a different story. Dark Shadows aired on ABC in the mid-to-late 60's, and although it was taped, the daily episodes were taped pretty much nonstop, and they rarely stopped to reshoot; if an actor blew a line, a prop malfunctioned, or a camera or crewman blundered into a scene, they just went on. Some funny stuff happened. BB37 03-16-2009, 09:36 PM What was the plane he flew? What was it's nickname? The aircraft was a Cessna 310.
