Could You Do Me a Favor?

This is going to sound strange, and I won't be holding my breath, but I would like to ask all of you who read my blog to put some effort into actually doing something for me. "What is it?" you may ask? I would like you to follow this link, and help me to get Turner Classic Movies to make the made for TV movie "The Day the Bubble Burst" available for viewing or even purchase.

This was a movie chronicling various personal stories surrounding the 1929 stock market crash. This adaptation of the best-seller by Gordon Thomas and Max Morgan-Witts had a curious TV history. Originally announced in 1978 as a four-hour movie to be called "The Day America Died", with a stellar cast of TV personalities, it ultimately went into production in mid-1980 in a less ambitious three-hour form and was scheduled to premiere on February 1, 1981, but was withdrawn without notice on the eve of its showing. It subsequently aired one year later, and I thought, given the world's current economic mood, it would be a good movie to see again.

I've been looking high and low for it but, so far, no luck. I know it's asking a lot for any of you to take the time to do this for me, but I would be very grateful if you did.

Now, onto other things.

My last survey/poll didn't go over so well. Only 5 people (4 if you don't count me) even bothered to vote. I thought long and hard about it and I think the reason is, it wasn't edgy or controversial enough. So, as you can see, I've come up with a new poll. You can vote in it more than once if you like, and it'll be interesting to see how this one goes.

Till later, don't worry. I'll keep you informed.
