Update: I suppose with the death of Dick Van Patten on June 23, 2015, that hope is dashed. Dagmar wants to win the spelling bee contest, while her father places a bet.
#I remember mama tv show series
Perhaps some UCLA film student could take this on as an oral history project. ''I Remember Mama'' - Queen of the Bee (1950) Publication date 1950 Topics Classic TV, 1950s, 50s, Television, Drama, Dramedy, Old, Episode 'Queen of the Bee' of the popular early television series 'Mama'. If anybody still alive who was associated with the series were to write an "I remember" memoir, I'm sure there would be many who would appreciate their documenting an almost forgotten piece of TV history.
This well-received series was a comedy-drama about an immigrant family living in 1910s. Drama film directed by George Stevens from a screenplay by DeWitt Bodeen, whose work was adapted from John Van Drutens stage play. Despite ridicule from the family, old Hedvig trudges through the snow to the barn to talk to the animals.
According to Mama's great-grandmother Hedvig, midnight on Christmas Eve is a magical time when barnyard animals gain the power of speech. I'm heartsick that the bulk of these episodes, like some other favorite pioneering TV series, were never recorded, and therefore - unless somebody finds a way to recapture ancient transmissions still rattling around in outer space - will never find their way to DVD. Mama: With Peggy Wood, Judson Laire, Dick Van Patten, Rosemary Rice. This annual 'Mama' Christmas show retells a Norwegian folk tale. Featuring a fine cast, led by Irene Dunne, Oscar Homolka, Barbara Bel Geddes, Sir Cedric Hardwicke and Edgar Bergen (without Charlie McCarthy), it was probably the top production for its studio, RKO Radio Pictures, that year. What I remember most vividly, however, is Peggy Wood as Mama. THE SERIES, WHICH had originated as a stage-play, had also been filmed for the big screen in its original title of I REMEMBER MAMA (1948). And although the images are vague in my mind, I remember the warm feelings of a close-knit family facing various situations. What I do remember, due no doubt to repetition, is the "I remember" voice-over sequence that opened each episode. But my being so young at the time, and that being so long ago, I recall scant details.
