The Crazy World of Vic and Sade: 37-04-28 Dreams

37-04-28 Dreams

STARRING: ART VAN HARVEY, BERNARDINE FLYNN AND BILL IDELSON

Rush wants to stay up all night because Rooster Davis has had dreams three nights in a row that there would be a lunar eclipse; the dream having happened three times in a row is a superstition that it will come true.

Sade won't let him stay up though, because it's a school night. And Rush is not happy.

Meanwhile, Vic tells about his recent dream and Sade tells him about the dreams her lady friends have been having.

SCRIPT (part 1) (part 2)

__________________________________________________ This isn't the only time Rush falls asleep on the couch while threatening to stay up late. The same thing happened happened in 41-02-24 Uncle Fletcher To Meet 1 AM Train.

TRIVIA:

+ Holly J. Hugbelch is the Superintendent of Kitchenware Dealer's Plant number 9 in Lima, Ohio. [There are apparently two Plant #9's... the other is in Dubuque, Iowa.]

+ There was a penumbral lunar eclipse about a month after this show aired.

+ He may have been "joking", but Vic mentioned a mental patient he knew from Pittsfield, Ilinois who resided at the Crazy View Insane Asylum. He also mentioned sending him fudge. This may be the first (of at least three times) fudge was mentioned as a gift for someone locked away with mental problems (the other two are mentioned in this episode).

The kids loiterin' 'round the switchboard

Hi-de-hi-Ho-de-ho! My name is Jimbo. Shortly after finding Vic and Sade in 2010, I realized that finding the information I wanted about the show was pretty much non-existent. That's when I set out to solve that situation and do it myself.

Little did I know that in a parallel universe, Barbara Schwarz and The Friends of Vic and Sade were doing/had done the same exact thing I was doing - except very little of the info they had collected was on the internet.

Thanks to member Louie Johnson, the two materials were married and I went about adding everything they had to what I already had done. (Louie went way beyond the point of being generous in terms of sharing material)! Others have donated V&S material and I thank you.

Along the way, I was wise enough to get oceans of contributions from as many fans as possible, but especially from Lydia Crowe, (who is in the process of painstakingly taking the audio episodes and turning them into scripts -- plus she's adding commentary to go along with mine), Sarah Cole (whose Vic and Sade insight remains unparalleled) and Keith Heltsley (he frequently podcasts the show and makes his own comments). Dave (from Wisconsin) has shared his insight and expertise with us in a series of articles and his love for the show shines through them all.

The book by John Hetherington, Vic and Sade on the Radio: A Cultural History of Paul Rhymer's Daytime Series 1932-1944, is full of new material and it has opened up a whole new avenue and spectrum of previously unknown information for the Vic and Sade fan. Mr. Hetherington has provided me with lots of information and has patiently answered at least a zillion questions and for this I am very grateful.

The Vic and Sadecast (a podcast about the surviving episodes) is in full tilt. Jimbo, Dave Duckert, PQ Ribber and Shambles Constant handle that chore. There are other guests along the way - yell at Jimbo if you would like to be a part of this project.

And to those many others who have contributed with interviews, or have written pieces, provided original art or have provided info -- thanks to all; without you, this would not be the wonderful site it is.
