About Marcia Studley Expertise I`m a true member of the tv generation! I grew up doing my homework while watching the classics of the 60`s and 70`s and today, they are still my favorites. I have a big library of tv and film reference books at my disposal, as well as a large video library. My memory is pretty darn good too, and when that fails, I can hit the books and/or videos, not to mention a few friends who are as devout tv gen members as I am. Please note that my expertise is with American tv only.
Question My sister was born in 1984 and I was born in 1988. My mom and I were talking
about shows we used to watch when we were little, like shining time station,
ducktales, tail spin, etc. She remembers watching a show with us about a woman
who owned a bookstore. She would open the book and begin reading and her
characters would come to life. I cannot remember it, but I was hoping to find
out what it was. My mom said it was live action/animated. Any help would be
great! Thanks!!
Answer Hi Amelia,
Is there a chance you're referring to Shelly Duvall's Fairie Tale Theater? It was live action, but I'm not sure if there was any animation. It aired from '82 to '87 so it's in the time range, and Duvall introduced the stories, though I'm not sure if she did it by reading books or not. This showed featured a lot of top stars of the day in well known fairy tales. I couldn't really find anything else but this, and it's the first show I thought of without searching.
If this isn't it, let me know, and maybe I can research it further.
