OR, DR. FRANK BAXTER, C'EST MOI! We discourse on that lengthy molecule, DNA. Y'know, we're still reverberating over here from the colossal disaster of our last week's show. That was when I forgot to press the Red Button, a portion of technological obfuscation inflicted upon our helpless, innocent show. Only the latter half was salvageable. Our show, The Thread of Life, is about heredity, DNA and how it works. The inspiration comes from early mental molding as a viewer in elementary school (Flossie Wiley in Urbana, Illinois) when shown the Bell (Telephone) Science Series, wherein the affable Dr. Frank Baxter gave me an overview of Genetics for the first time. The screenplay was by Rowland Barber, a writer perhaps best known for the 1960 novel The Night They Raided Minsky's. Owen Crump directed; Robert McKimson, Warner Bros. cartoon animator and close associate of Bob Clampett, directed the animation. Want to see a truly kool kartoon? WATCH the next episode of The Ask Dr. Hal! Show, The Home Edition on October 19th, 6 PM-- we're showing UPA's The Telltale Heart.
