Back here, I told you about Stu's Show — not the twice-a-month online TV show in which my buddy Stu Shostak interviews folks involved in the history of television but rather, a new documentary by filmmaker C.J. Wallis. It's about Stu and his show but it's also about his friendship/employment with Lucille Ball…and it's about how classic television brought him together with the love of his life…and it's especially about how he and his friends helped save the life of the love of his life.
These storylines all weave together into a fascinating tale involving a lot of folks who appeared in the TV shows that Stu's program celebrates. The list includes (in alphabetical order) Ed Asner, Michael Cole, Tony Dow, me, Jimmy Garrett, Robert Illes, Geri Jewell, Ken Levine, Stanley Livingstone, Randal Malone, Wink Martindale, Margaret O'Brien, Butch Patrick, Jon Provost, Jeannie Russell, Beverly Washburn and Randy West.
I told you that the film would be available for online viewing on all major streaming services and pay-per-view points next week and that's true. But it turns out it's available for pre-order right now on iTunes. Here's the link for those of you who can't wait. Despite my presence in it, I think you'll enjoy it.
