Unknown film about Shep? Date: 03-15-2010 By: spiderman	I posted this under another topic awhile ago; I'm hoping it might catch a few more eyes here: in an undated show from 1967 titled "Hobbies, Potatoes, etc.", Shep mentions that it's a Monday. Later, he says that on Wednesday (or two days later), there will be a premiere of a student film at the Annenberg School in Philadelphia called "Channel 10 - In the Middle Distance" that he says "is about my show". Not only would finding that premiere date allow an accurate dating of this show, it would be very interesting to uncover that film!!! My search of the Internet for anything to do with this has thus far proved feckless. Has anyone out there ever even heard of this? Keep your knees loose and your glove oiled...	3

Here's a cleaned up show clip. Student Film Promo - 1.70 MB http://ultrashare.net/hosting/fl/4a4964dd90/Student_Film The name appears to come from a book published in 1960. One of the chapters in it was contributed by Shep and uses the same title. Explorations in Communication: An Anthology http://www.questia.com/library/book/explorations-in-communication-an-anthology-by-edmund-carpenter-marshall-mcluhan.jsp Finding a video of the film though is probably a long shot. It might still be archived at the university but never transferred to digital. Someone living near the campus should check it out. You never know what might turn up.

If you have any other detailed info for any of those undated shows, I for one would appreciate it. Perhaps Mr. Clavin can also use this for the Database...
