Description: STOCK PHOTOS ONLY KUKLA, FRAN AND OLLIE: THE FIRST EPISODES: 1949-54 Here they are, back with you ogee The Kuklapolitan Players and their creator, Burr Tillstrom, in the first DVD of their black-and-white kinescopes. Burr personally selected these episodes for preservation, including two of his favorites: 'The Mikado' and 'Lemonade.' KFO is unique in television history: a live, ad-libbed, daily puppet show watched by more adults than children. Filled with references to the theater, opera, and current events, it counted Orson Welles, John Steinbeck, Tallulah Bankhead, and Adlai Stevenson among its fans. But as an RCA brochure of the time noted: 'It is a show you must watch a few times before you catch the full flavor of its whimsy. When you get acquainted with KFO, they are habit-forming!' So it may be best to view them as they were aired: one episode a day. Step back in time to the earliest days of television, and you'll see why James Thurber once wrote that Burr and Fran Allison were 'helping to save the sanity of the nation improve, if not even to invent, the quality of Television.' Produced by Mark Milano. For DVD Player (North American NTSC) ITEM IS: NEW, SEALED - DVD IN BOX WHAT YOU GET: This auction is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, DVD ...)
