This stuff looks amazing-haven't been this excited since I saw Mary Martin's 1960 "Peter Pan" shown with great ceremony on NBC in 1989. I was 27 then, so of course never saw it when new. I was stunned at the quality of that 1960 color videotape. And I commiteed the program to a high grade TDK VHS tape that night. Never got around to buying the Laserdisc, which I regret now. I'd read about the Shirley Temple Storybook show, but never saw anything of it until tonight. Great story choices, the production design resembles the original books in the ones that I recognized-especially "Madelleine". The credits omitted Cathleen Nesbitt, whom I instantly recognized. Was that Bea Lillie in the "Pippi Longstocking" clip? What a great-looking series! Definitely on the want list now.
