Jim,

Just saw a post of yours. I'm trying to follow up on people I was
trading with a few months back. I lost touch after I got married and
lost my job. But would still love to get the Search episodes I need as
well as a few other shows on goodlife. Please let me know if your still
interested in trading. I have a new computer now. My old computer
finally crashed and most of my data was lost. So you may have to help me
as to what you're looking for. But I will resend my list again. Thanks.
Jeff

new shows I'm currently taping, trading or buying to add to collection:

s.w.a.t., new adventures of batman(1970's), follow the sun, vegas, rat
patrol, green hornet,
hardy boys and nancy drew mysteries(uncut off a movie channel in
canada), shannon,
ripcord, hong kong, captain power, unaired pilots, gavalin,
checkmate(pre-records),
fall guy, fantasy island(1970's), battle of the planets, the
champions(pre-records),
six million dollar man-(pre-records and dvds), bionic woman-(pre-records
and dvds)
rifleman, my three sons, time slip(dvd pre-records), dungeons and
dragons(dvd pre-records)
Zorro and Son.
my codes are as follows:
E 1 M1=excellent, first generation, dvd burned(I can only burn on +R/RW)
1 hour speed
E 1 M2X=excellent, first generation at the 2 hour dvd speed
E 1 M4=excellent, first generation at the 4 hour dvd speed
E 1 M6=excellent, first generation at the 6 hour dvd speed
E 1 DVD=excellent, first generation, pre-recorded dvd
E P SP=excellent, pre-recorded tape, recorded at the 2 hour speed
E 1 SP=excellent, first generation, recorded at the 2 hour speed
VG+ 1 SP=very good(not quite excellent),first generation, recorded at 2
hour speed
VG 1 SP=very good, first generation, recorded at 2 hour speed
G+ 1 SP=good(not quite very good), first generation, recorded at 2 hour
speed
G 1 SP=good, first generation,recorded at 2 hour speed
P 1 SP=poor, first generation, recorded at 2 hour speed

these codes would mean the same thing if they were 2nd or 3rd
generation, recorded at
the four or six hour speeds. Poor, good, are usually multi-generation
and are for trade,
but are for collectors who really need that item.
ie. E 2 LP=excellent, second gen, recorded at the four hour speed
ie. G+ 3 EP=good plus, third gen, recorded at the six hour speed.
most of my shows are first generation. I don't have many series in less
than good plus
condition. I usually grade pretty fairly. But keep in mind, tapes
deteriorate over time. I
try to keep up with any chages in quality, and will stand behind any
trade or sale.
if unsatisfied with tapes, we'll work it out.

Subject: [probe_control] John C. Strong Interview--Part Five


BEGINNING OF PART FIVE

A: Were there any Production people you'd like to mention who made a
substantial contribution to the series that seem to have gone
uncredited?

S: (pauses) Everybody on that show.

A: You worked together as a team.

S: Yeah. Absolutely. That goes through an Assistant Director named
Russell Llewellyn...

========================

NOTE: Among other very notable productions, Llewellyn worked as an
Assistant Director on George Cukor's A STAR IS BORN in 1954, Paul
Newman's first film--THE SILVER CHALICE that same year, the all-time
classic GIANT in 1956, Spencer Tracy's THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA in 1958,
and ten years before SEARCH , he was A.D. on another great movie
musical--THE MUSIC MAN (in 1962). His only foray into science-fiction
listed in his imdb credits is Robert Altman's COUNTDOWN in 1968. See
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0515755/ for more details.

=========================

S: ... who would've given ANYTHING for that show, God rest his soul. Lee
Phillips, our Gaffer...

=========================

NOTE: A gaffer is another name for the Chief Lighting Technician. He is
the head of the electrical department, and responsible for the design
and execution of the lighting plan for a production. Early films used
mostly natural light, which stagehands controlled with large tent cloths
using long poles called gaffs (stagehands were often beached sailors or
longshoremen, and a gaff is a type of boom on a sailing ship).

This may be an incorrect guess on my part, but the only gaffer listing
that I could find for a 'Lee Phillips' was at
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0680578/ and his man appears to be a Head
Wrangler and Actor, as well.

=========================

S: ... was a guy who would be there long after everybody else was gone,
and just as early, to make sure everything was right and ready-to-shoot
within the timeframe. They were some really good folks.

A: Any other stand-outs? I know that Russ Mayberry came back from the
(PROBE) pilot and did episodes (of the SEARCH TV series)...

S: Well, you know Russ Mayberry... how he got his job with our
company... I was the Kellogg's Sugar Pops Cowboy...

=======================

NOTE: Type in 'Kelloggs Sugar Pops cowboy' (or cut and paste
http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&lr=&q=kelloggs+sugar+pops+cowboy&b
tnG=Search) into Google's IMAGES search field, and you'll see an image
of a vintage Sugar Pop cereal box featuring a cowboy which is apparently
John Strong.

==============

A: Okay! (laughs)


S: ... and Russ Mayberry directed me as the Sugar Pops Cowboy. And I
brought him in to do an episode of McCLOUD, with Leslie (Stevens). And
then we hired him, because of our relationship with him, to do (SEARCH).
And he's a wonderful man.

A: Any other stand-outs? Nicholas Colasanto?

==============

NOTE: Nicholas Colasanto will always be best known for playing the
sweet-but-befuddled character of 'Coach' on CHEERS, but he appears to
have been a rather extraordinary individual in 'real life.' Colasanto
served in the United States Navy from 1943 to 1945, and was a veteran of
the Second World War who was awarded a World War II Victory Medal, a
European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal, and an Honorable Service
Lapel Button. He spoke fluent Italian. His imdb credits list him as
concurrently acting and directing in television throughout the late 50's
to the late 70's. He can be seen in such TV series as I SPY, VOYAGE TO
THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA, THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E., and MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE.
He was in a variety of films, including Alfred Hitchcock's last film,
FAMILY PLOT, and Martin Scorcese's RAGING BULL. Colasanto likely knew
Stevens and Strong as he played a Reporter in the FAME IS THE NAME OF
THE GAME pilot, as well as directed episodes of THE NAME OF THE GAME
series. Colasanto directed the episode of SEARCH that John Strong wrote,
entitled IN SEARCH OF MIDAS.

===============

S: Nicky was a wonderful, sweet man. A great guy. Funny guy...

A: HAD to be, doing comedy (referring to his character on CHEERS).

S: He drove Tony (Franciosa) crazy, but he was great.

A: (laughs) How so?

S: Well, you know... 'Tony' is 'Tony' is 'Tony.' Nicky was not a movie
director, you know? Tony wanted a big movie look. I mean...
(unintelligible) They ALL wanted to take a 'step above.' (SEARCH) was
like a 'Movie of the Week.'

A: Absolutely. You had high standards on the show.

S: Yeah. And in their own way, they wanted to make sure that everything
was perfect. Two guys that worked for me tirelessly were David
Hardberger...

=======================

NOTE: If I have the correct individual (David R. Hardberger--imdb link:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0362046/), then he has added quite an
impressive series of credits since performing opticals for SEARCH. A
variety of credits too numerous to mention here links him to various
contributions to films such as STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE, STAR TREK
II: THE WRATH OF KHAN, BLADE RUNNER, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND,
RETURN OF THE JEDI, THE ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI, LORD OF THE
RINGS: FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING and LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN.

=======================

S: ... and George Silano (?) of (unintelligible)...

=======================

NOTE: Again, not wishing to overly interrupt the flow of the interview,
I did not request that Strong supply me with spelling and references for
all the individuals he talked about. This is another case where I should
have double-checked. Not sure if I have the right individual here, I'm
guessing that it might be George Silano, who has credits similar to
those of Hardberger (Camera Operator and Cinematographer), around the
time of SEARCH. His imdb listing is http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0797800/

If anyone has corrections to the assumptions I've made, please contact
me, and I will make modifications.

=======================

S: ... We had worked at Universal on something that George Roy Hill did.
(pauses) SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE. And I brought them to Universal with me,
and they were my little Optical team. Right?

A: Hand-trained.

S: Hand-trained! They were the BEST in the world! Warner Bros. always
used Pacific Title.

========================

NOTE: Pacific Title (full name: Pacific Title & Art Studio) has played a
major role in the film titling and post production industry for almost
85 years. In the 1970's (when SEARCH was being produced), Pacific Title
handled many titles and opticals duties for film and television
production. See http://www.pactitle.com/pages/home/index.html for more
information, as well as a brief company history.

=========================

S: ... and I said (Pacific Title) can't DO the work because they'll
never be able to complete it on time. So I got a guy named Dan Genis who
owned a company called Modern Film Effects...

=========================

NOTE: Modern Film Effects and Pacific Title have been competitors for
decades. A business-oriented article can be found at:
http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/stories/1999/07/12/story8.html

There is a small Variety trade article mentioning Genis at
http://print.google.com/print/doc?articleid=0l1vuizJzKJ

==========================

S: ... and Dan said, "You know what? I'll do it better, cheaper, and
never miss a date!" Okay?

A: (laughs)

S: And he knew how I did things, and he went to bat for us, and Warner
Bros. didn't want to 'walk quietly into that good night,' and they
finally let me do it, and it was a big success!

A: They were pleased with the results, and couldn't argue, huh?

S: Not only were they were pleased with the results, but they were
pleased that it cost one-fifth of what everybody else cost.

A: Ah-HAH! The transitional effect between scenes (in SEARCH)... the
'dot pattern.' Your idea?

S: Yep! I shot'em over in a doctor's office with a guy who had set up a
computer.

A: No kidding!

S: Yep!

A: Incredible. (Effects such as that one) really hold up. A lot of very
inventive techniques, I think, were thought up for SEARCH.

S: Well, y'know... I electronically-edited the first motion picture...
ever. It was called GARBAGE PAIL KIDS... on a system called Arriflex,
invented by a man named Herb Dow.

=======================

NOTE: If I have the correct individual, editor Herbert H. Dow happens to
be the father of actor Tony Dow, who played "Wally Cleaver"--Beaver's
older brother on LEAVE IT TO BEAVER. Dow's imdb credits can be found
here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0235606/

=======================

S: Ron (unintelligible) talked me into it. He was head of
(unintelligible) Video at the time... and no one had ever done it
without going to a Work Print or a Final Print or... anything else. We
transferred it onto half-inch tape.

A: Half-inch?!?!

=======================

NOTE: Home VHS machines use half-inch (wide) tape. Industrial television
recording and playback machines use a half-inch tape as well, in a Beta
format. In the pre-digital days, use of half-inch videotape in relation
to motion picture editing was unheard of, and considered quite
revolutionary.

=======================

S: Half inch! Twenty machines. It gave you six cuts.

A: Amazing!

S: You transferred those over to three-quarter-inch...

=======================

NOTE: Three-Quarter inch tape was an industry standard when GARBAGE PAIL
KIDS: THE MOVIE was made, and was considered to have a better image
quality than half-inch tape--mainly because that extra quarter-inch of
videotape could hold much more audio/video information.

========================

S: ... and that was supposed to be your cut. But it didn't work. So
Ronny (unintelligible) got me a guy named Telly (unintelligible), and we
invented a machine with an output (unintelligible) generator that gave
you every edge number of the film, and we edited the movie in two weeks,
and got it in the theatres four weeks later.


A: Amazing! You were quite a trendsetter and trailblazer! And NOW look
what they're doing (in film)! They (use the techniques you created), and
don't look back!

S: And now guys like me are OBSOLETE!!!

A: (laughs) Let's not go THERE! (laughs) (In a previous conversation)
You said, "We had a helluva time making SEARCH and we worked like dogs
seven days a week--but had a GREAT time." Do you care to elaborate on
that?

S: It was, um... making three movies... and delivering them two weeks
later. You had a week to shoot, a week to edit. Three days to dub...
ship an air print.

=====================

NOTE: Simply put, Strong is relating that the limited amount of time
that the crew had to make an episode of SEARCH (which, because of the
quality involved, he refers to as a 'movie'), and ship the finished film
canister to the network for airing.

=====================

S: That was it!

A: Right. Any other SEARCH fans like us crawl out of the woodwork since
its cancellation? Do you talk to many people who remember it fondly?

S: Oh yeah!

A: Yeah!?!

S: Yeah, absolutely!

A: Excellent!!!

S: Absolutely. People talk to me all the time about it... and every now
and then I whip out the Scanner...

A: (laughs)

S: (laughs)

A: Well that's GREAT to know!

S: Yeah!

A: Sometime, we think we're (such a small group) who remember the
series. But when a couple of gentlemen started the
(www.probecontrol.com) webpage, and people write in from literally all
around the world saying how fondly they remember the series, we know
there's a deep affection for the show.

S: Well, listen. It's like your first girlfriend. When you've got
something you like, you NEVER forget it. And, uh... SEARCH and PROBE
were like a first girlfriend. You know? It was new, and it was fresh,
and it was pretty, and it was sexy, and it was romantic. I mean, when
Lockwood's necking with Elke Sommer, and you hear Burgess Meredith's,
"We have LIFT-OFF!"

A: (laughs)

S: You know? You KNOW what you're talking about!

A: Oh, sure. A little sly.

S: A little sly...

A: ...slide it past the censors.

S: That's right. We tried to break (new) ground in that show, and did it
successfully. Unfortunately, times and ratings dictate things that you
don't expect. And I think that because we'd had a lot of major talent
wanting to come aboard as guest stars... and I think that if Leslie had
gone a little further... if Leslie had stayed with the show, it would
have maintained its integrity.

A: One could only guess what it might have been like. You likened
(SEARCH) to a 'first girlfriend', but you'd been a trendsetter
before--you'd broken new ground before...

S: Yep! Yep!

A: THE OUTER LIMITS was TERRIBLY trendsetting, and you were breaking new
ground with that. You had GREAT guest stars...

S: THIRTY-THOUSAND DOLLARS an episode!!!

A: Great guest stars wanted to do OUTER LIMITS too, so it's interesting
to ME that you would call SEARCH 'your first girlfriend'...

S: Well, you know... there're a lot of PERSONAL reasons for it, as well.
There's relationships with people within in the cast and the show,
and... OUTER LIMITS was an anthology. You just had people come in for
their three days, and go away.

A: Same crew, but different people in FRONT of the camera.

S: We started on OUTER LIMITS with talents like Conrad Hall, William
Fraker, Haskell Wexler... the greatest cinematographers of all time.

========================

NOTE: In addition to THE OUTER LIMITS, cinematographer Conrad Hall
worked on other Leslie Stevens projects like STONEY BURKE (1962) and
INCUBUS (1965). He won Academy Awards for his work on BUTCH CASSIDY AND
THE SUNDANCE KID (1969), AMERICAN BEAUTY (1999), and ROAD TO PERDITION
(2002). His imdb credits are at: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005734/

Among other films, William A. Fraker worked on ROSEMARY'S BABY (1968),
BULLITT (1968), and CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND (1977). More on
Fraker at: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005710/

Haskell Wexler contributed to such classic films as IN THE HEAT OF THE
NIGHT (1967), the original THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR (1968), and ONE FLEW
OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST (1975). More on Wexler at:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005549/

Conrad Hall and Haskell Wexler are two of only six cinematographers to
achieve stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

===========================

S: ... some of the great cinematographers of all time!

A: The VERY best.

S: So, you look at things, and you say well, "I consider SEARCH a first
girlfriend" because it was a pretty, pretty show.
