Hi Ed

When you say you have found the DVDs....and want to know which DVD has the

Brockelman material......what DVD series are you referrring to....cos the

Brockelman series (1 tv movie in 1976 and 5 episodes in 1978) has never been

officially released on DVD. If you are talking about the main Rockford Files

series on DVD.....thats not the right series, cos while Brockelman did make a

guest appearance in 3 episodes of The Rockford Files....the scene you are

looking for did NOT happen on those 3 episodes of main Rockford File

series.....it happened on the separate Richie Brockelman series....which has

never been officially released on dvd.

So....forget the main Rockford Files series dvds....cos it is not on those

episodes.

You need to order the Richie Brockelman series (1 tv movie and 5 episodes)

that are not officially out on dvd....but some private collectors have tv

recordings of those shows and they offer them for sale on DVDr disk on the

website www.ioffer.com or some collectors used to advertise it on Ebay. So....

....I do not recall what episode that wet scene happened...and whether it was

on the tv pilot in 1976 or the later 5 episodes made in 1978.....but you can't

order them separately anyway...you need to order the complete set cos the

private sellers will only sell you the complete set....not individual disks or

episodes. The seller I saw selling this series on www.ioffer.com was a user

called "elvispresley3000" and he was offering the complete set of 1 tv movie

and 5 episodes (on DVDr disks....probably 2-3 disks) for $34.99

Anyway....don't order the main Rockford File DVD sets....cos it is not on

those. You need to order the unofficial dvds of Richie Brockelman tvmovie + 5

episodes...and you can't order those disks separately...you will need to order

the set of dvds (probably 2-3 of them) for $34.99

If you manage to get that scene.....you can upload it to our www.thewambank.com

site and get credit for your upload.

regards

MK

ps....the biggest frustration for me in that Rockford File series....was that

there were never any wet scenes involving "Beth" (Gretchen Corbett)....cos she

was cute....and Gretchen is one of those actresses who has never done a

wetlook scene in her entire career....not in any film or tv series.....and I

would have loved to have seen her do a wet scene some day.....but she got

fired off that show (after a contract dispute) ...and then she retired from TV

and has only done stage plays since then.

my memory is hazy regarding that Brockelmen wet scene.....but as I recall it

was similar to a wet scene that happened in another tv series called "Riptide"

(which was also a Stephen J Cannell production).

Yes....anything about sports.....cos my brain has automatic switch off button and it has no interest in remembering sports teams or games, unless some wetlook happened....so I would only remember NFL football games if it happened to rain and the cheerleaders got a good soaking.

I was probably the only guy NOT watching The Superbowl game this weekend. I have a warped mind that is filled with useless trivia information regarding things that happened on tv or movies where there was a wetlook scene. But my head is no different to a sports fanatic who's head is filled with useless sports trivia and can tell you who won the F.A. Cup or Wimbledon or Baseball stats etc.

I have a friend who studies horse racing statistics, and his knowledge of horse racing has made him a wealthy man cos he loves to bet on the horses....so at least the knowledge he has is quite useful....

....but horses don't turn me on !!!

The bad news is, I do not have that scene, but I remember seeing it.

The good news is, the show is not "lost"....and can be ordered on DVD from www.ioffer.com

FYI this show was not technically a "spinoff" from The Rockford Files....cos Richie Brockelman was a totally separate 2hr tv mystery  movie in 1976, and then in 1978 they merged that character into 3 episodes of The Rockford Files, and then when Jim Garner took a summer break from filming (he was plagued with back injuries during that series and often out of action) they replaced the Rockford Files summer shows with 5 separate episodes of Richie Brockelman Private Eye instead. So...it is really what they call a "crossover series" as opposed to a spinoff". As I mentioned,you can order the 1976 pilot movie and the 5 episodes of Richie Brockelman on DVD from Ebay or ioffer.com. If you are getting the main Rockford Files series aired in your region, you can probably see those 5 separate Richie Brockelman episodes too, cos when Stephen Cannell syndicated the Rockford Files he also sold the 5 episodes together in the same package to tv stations so they often get aired as part of the Rockford Files series.

But I have heard of children of the dog star, but I have never seen it, or know what its about..

• Spellbinder (~1995) – firstly when Riana falls off a bridge and is rescued by Paul in one of the first episodes (awesome wet ponytail, and the only /good/ scene that I can recall), then later (towards the end of Riana's World) when Riana and Paul are making their way down a river

• Eye of the Storm (1993) – various damp scenes involving diving, and one semi-wet scene when the baddie woman has her hand caught in some sort of contraption as some sort of chamber floods

• The Tomorrow People (1990s series) – the kids would teleport in their sleep or on bodily impact, and wake up in the sea off some island by a spaceship (just seemed an excuse for wetlook to me – waking up wet in bed seemed to be there to give the characters a frightening clue that their dreams were in fact reality, before they realised what was going on …)

Most of what I saw on TV, I am not sure I ever understood, or I forgot so fast that it's as if I never saw anything but the most tenuous fragments. I never figured out Children of the Dog Star, though it creeped me the hell out. I can only assume that the creepy show "The Queen's Beast" was C.A.B series 3 – though all I can remember apart from the titles is frequent scenes at a narrowboat on a canal in an industrial wasteland, and that doesn't match up. Basically a lot of stuff creeped me out :-P

I was enjoying The Magic Crown until that got axed (no idea what it was about now, some sort of sci-fi animation), and CITV also axed Spellbinder at the end of Riana's World (exactly half-way through the show). Useless TV channel.

That's all I can remember off the top of my head now. I also remember one of the Peter and Jane books, one of my sister's, where Jane was depicted with a very accurate portrayal of soaked hair. That was really cool too.

Does anyone remember any kids tv dramas from yesteryear??  I can't remember much about them, but there are a couple I have been trying to think of, and track down, but without the titles, its pointless.

1) All I can remember is there was a dark skinned girl stood in a witches cave, by a rock pool, she falls in the rock pool, and the next thing you know is she is in a centre parks swimming pool.

2) All I remember from this one is that it was an autralian drama, and two girls where trapped in some kind of water tank, in a river, and in order to get out one had to swim down and through some kind of a passage, in order to let the other one out.

3) Is a lot more recent, and all I can tell you about it is, it is about a group of youths working some kind of circus (Very SiFi).

So if anyone has any ideas I would be glad to hear them.  Or if you can think of any of your own, lets see if we can help..
