Faerie Tale Theatre On Youtube

[calliopes_pen]

Does anyone on my friends list remember a show called Faerie Tale Theatre--a series that was hosted by Shelley Duvall? I just found quite a few episodes uploaded to Youtube if anyone wants to see. You can see them--divided into chunks--here.

There are five pages worth of uploads of the show. The only episode I can actually remember (I watched these when I was 2 or 3) is Rapunzel. According to the IMDB message boards, there was a whole lot of innuendo that kids probably never picked up on.

For anyone who hasn’t heard of the show, the IMDB page for it is here.

ETA: I also just found the preview shown at the beginning of every tape of Faerie Tale Theatre--uploaded by a different person. You can watch it here. Apparently, Christopher Lee was in one episode. In another (Sleeping Beauty) Christopher Reeve was the Prince and Sleeping Beauty was Bernadette Peters.

I remember! I have the Beauty and the Beast ep (heavy on the Cocteau!)

I don't think I ever watched that one. I'll watch it tomorrow.

I vaguely remembered the prince in Rapunzel getting his eyes gouged out--I was right, but the blood was a pitiful special effect.

I also just found the preview aired at the beginning of the Faerie Tale tapes, and edited my post with that.

OMG! I remember that show. I was, unfortunately, much older than 2.

::coughs:: Oy. I was definitely older than 2 as well. I feel old now, how 'bout you? I loved that show!

Old? Me? No way. Just ignore the sagging... hair and wrinkles and creaking joints. What about this whole Transformers renaissance? Weird, man!

Fairy tales retold are always a good thing.

Um... unless they're a stupid modernized remake movie.
