Members FrenchFan Posted December 30, 2023 Members Share Posted December 30, 2023 Yes ! Very frustrating that Funt / Lesan only have these 15 episodes in their archives while they wrote for SFT for a few years... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dc11786 Posted December 30, 2023 Members Share Posted December 30, 2023 @Paul Raven I think the source of the Allens appearing in 1966 is actual episodes. I believe they are part of the set of episodes from the summer of 1966 that have been circulating. If not, I think it's a summary of episode available at the Paley Center. Prior to that episode appearing, I don't think any of the Allens had been mentioned or if they had been no time period had been assigned to them. So Kitty Allen appeared in 1966 and 1967. @FrenchFan Thank you for sharing these. I appreciate seeing how the pacing works in individual episodes. It seems like these episodes are lots of repetition of exposition even though they are so short. What are your thoughts on the episodes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchFan Posted December 30, 2023 Members Share Posted December 30, 2023 Oh I would love to find this Summer 1966 episodes ! i think there is a very psychological work done on Len. His relationship with Sam seems very complex. Eunice is also a fascinating character I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dc11786 Posted December 30, 2023 Members Share Posted December 30, 2023 There are about 40 something episodes from summer 1966 in the trading circles. I'm not sure if they are online. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted December 30, 2023 Author Members Share Posted December 30, 2023 Yes there was site that offered those DVDs several years ago and that is where I first saw mention of the Allens in 1966. I had it bookmarked but must have deleted it unfortunately. Not sure there was as many as 40, at least on this site. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted December 31, 2023 Members Share Posted December 31, 2023 Way back when, a trader friend sent me three, 2-hour VHS tape of SFT from the summer of 1966. I'm trying to remember the total number of episodes I received. I believe she recorded nine on each tape, so a total of 27. I thought that was a huge amount. I don't recall any trader or fan referencing a whopping 40 episodes from that year (great as that would have been). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dc11786 Posted December 31, 2023 Members Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) I've seen it listed as 2 DVDS with 21 episodes on each DVD for a total of 42. However, it's entirely possible it is 21 episodes on 2 DVDs and the person wrote it wrong. I imagine that the source would probably be the same source for the "Guiding Light" episodes from the same period so it may be more likely that it is only 21 and the other DVD is actually the GL episodes.

Members Matt Posted January 9 Members Share Posted January 9 Chiming in to say that I had these Summer '66 SFT episodes at one point, purchased years and years ago on Ebay on VHS. Unfortunately, at some point they somehow got accidentally recorded over. Being as it's been so long since I watched the episodes, I can't remember anything in any extensive detail, but the episodes were very heavy on Len, Patti, Nick, & Emily. I actually found the episodes more engaging than the GL episodes from the same time period and I really enjoyed Melissa Murphy's Patti. 40+ episodes seems excessive and, from my recollection, it's more like around 20 because they were all on one long playing VHS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
