movie title

My cousins and i are trying to remember the name of a movie that aIrred on the kukla and Ollie show in the 70s about a poor kid who works in a motorcycle shop and the owner allows him to build his own motorcycle to race out of scrap parts at the shop. Any help is appreciated

Re: movie title

Hi Matt,

I believe the film you are remembering is called "Scramble", a Children's Film Foundation production that was broadcast as part of the Festival in the early '70s. You can see a clip here:

It currently isn't on DVD, but the Children's Film & Television Foundation began issuing titles from their catalog in 2012, so hopefully they may get around to this one at some point.

Re: movie title

Thanks for the info, Phil.

What happened to your page with all the airdates? It's gone:

Re: movie title

Hey Mark,

I was going to let it lapse, but made a last minute decision to renew it again for another year. It should be up again within the next 24 hours. Since I did renew it, I should probably add all of the updates I've collected over the last year. ;)

Re: movie title

Please keep it up - it's a great resource and all your work should not be lost!

Is there still a public email address you want to share? If not, one for me to use privately?

>Please keep it up - it's a great resource and all your work should not be lost!

Heh, I wasn't thinking about getting rid of it, just changing providers. Trust me, I spent too much time squinting at microfiche to let it disappear. :)

>Is there still a public email address you want to share? If not, one for me to use privately?

Yeah, I see that the att.net address no longer works. I set up a similar address on gmail, I basically just added two numbers:

**********19**@gmail.com

(apologies for not typing it all out, just trying to avoid the spam).

Re: movie title

Great - let me know when the page is back up.

Can I still link to your full email from my main CBS page?

Re: movie title

Sure, feel free to use the email address---I set it up just for that purpose.:) I'll make sure to post any updates as soon as I have them.

Re: movie title

Okay - will the address of your webpage remain the same?

Re: movie title

The address will remain the same, but the page itself will be different. You will see. :)
