Thank-you for uploading these!!
I don't want to create controversy, but that's my dad landing the plane at the start of each episode, not Gad. They needed the plane to land in just the right spot for the camera to catch it properly and Gad couldn't do it, so he asked his good friend, my dad (a crack pilot who had trained fighter pilots in WWII) to do it. One of the more obscure meaningless facts of television history. Our family stayed with Gad once in Maine. I still remember as we landed in his field. I was a little freaked out because I'd never landed on grass before. We passed over Gad himself who was down below driving his tractor. He was a very friendly and relaxed guy and had a great house, kind of log cabin-esque but huge with giant windows looking out to a wide river, though this is a memory over 50 years old, so who knows how my brain has embellished it. I remember that he loved lobster and made a point to eat lobster in front of me that summer because for some reason lobsters grossed me out when I was young and he enjoyed the look on my face. What a different world. Good times!
Thank you for sharing that bit of "behind the scenes" TV magic with us! Your memory of your family's experience with Gad - from dad being a pinch pilot for the intro, to experiencing "the way life should be" here in Maine - is a wonderful treat to read, and we are glad you took the time to comment. I'm glad these memories have gotten better with age!

Thanks for uploading these, my Dad and I used to watch all these episodes every Sunday, it brings back good memories of fishing with my Dad. Where did you find these episodes? Did you purchase them as a VHS or a DVD?
I found a VHS copy of his VHS video movie on Ebay and cut it up with my mac. I have not yet found the tv series. Please check out www.alsgoldfish.com (my business) for which Gad promoted so many years ago. We are working to rebuild this great American Made brand that one of the greatest ever loved to use.
