The Crazy World of Vic and Sade: 32-07-07 Sade Brings Up the Subject Of Adoption

32-07-07 Sade Brings Up the Subject Of Adoption

STARRING: ART VAN HARVEY AND BERNARDINE FLYNN

Vic and Sade enjoy a perfect summer evening on the porch. She asks if Vic really intends to buy a car.
He knows he can get a good buy on a "used Titan – 6 cylinder job – for less'n you'd have to pay for this year's Thompson."
Sade says they don't really need a car, besides she thinks Vic's afraid of automobiles.
Sade announces she'd rather use the car money to adopt a child – a little girl about 3, 4, or 5. Vic says no.
(Vic greets Pete Donahue -aka Mr. Donahue- who's passing by)
Sade: "I mean I love you so much that I… I just choke up inside. I'm so crammed full of love for you that I need… I need someone else to …. to help me love you. Vic is adamantly opposed to her proposal.
Sade says they need something to share, be interested in, and work for, and a little girl… Vic: "Little girl, nothin'! Little boy!"
Sade's pleased. Tells Vic to think of a little boy. they could call him "Vic."
Sade goes in to get him a cigar. He chuckles to himself as he lectures an imaginary son on the topic of dealing with bullies. Sade returns. Vic denies that he was saying anything. - compiled by Barbara Schwarz, edited by Jimbo Mason

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.
