      Do you have Tubi? If you do, look for the Shirley Temple Show. It's a TV series she made in the 50's'-60's. Each episode is a live action play based on different stories or books. The Princess and the Goblin is one. Shirley played Princess Irene. The stories always had good casts, such as Agnes Morehead (Endora from Bewitched), Jonathan Winters, Robert Culp, Jonathan Harris (Dr. Smith from Lost in Space), and Mary Wickes. Not all episodes are available on Tubi, but I think I've seen about 10.

    These 'Fractured' versions have been so precious to me all my life! And that's a long time, too. Edward Everett Horton is one of my favorite actors, and voice people, too. He was the best example of 'deadpan' that I can think of. In 'talkies', there were greats in silent films. I think he actually starred in a comedy, 1930's. Can't remember for sure, but it's in the tubes of the Whirled Wide Web somewhere...

    These were always so brilliant and made childhood more interesting. As an adult, one can see the sardonicism. It’s still fun and totally original.💛
    In retrospect, it puts things that we as children didn’t conceptualize. We understood it on the surface, but we didn’t understand, the deeper and more specific meaning. The reason I say this is because when I was a child I learned from my aunt in words I could understand; Why we brought the Tea Party in the first place. These vignettes gave us, as children, a conceptual understanding of what the adults might not have been able to give us.
    Sorry about that. I will go now.

    I remember these things, can't remember from which show but I do remember seeing these. I think it was in Rocky and Bullwinkle.

    Like 5th Dimension, I watched those shorts in the Detroit area.
    They were shown with the Mr. Peabody cartoons!
    I, also, believe that it was shown with Bullwinkle.

    is it any wonder gen X turned out how it did. We were watching these on Saturday mornings in between episodes of Rocky & Bullwinkle.
