Smurfs Question
|
|
|
I have a question about how NBC had originally ran the Smurfs' first season: Did they air the 30-min episodes in the first half-hour and then the two 15-min segments in the next, or, did they air one 15-min segment, a 30-min, and then another 15-min; or, was it two 15-min episodes first and the 30-min last?
The season's segments, listed in order of production:
1. The Astrosmurf/Jokey's Medicine/Vanity Fare (8101, 8102A, 8102B)
2. St. Smurf and the Dragon/The Magical Meanie/Sorcerer Smurf (8103, 8104A, 8104B)
3. Bewitched, Bothered and Be-Smurfed/King Smurf/The Smurfs and the Howlibird (8105, 8106A, 8106B)
4. Soup A La Smurf/All That Glitters Isn't Smurf/Dreamy's Nightmare (8107, 8108A, 8108B)
5. Romeo and Smurfette/The Magic Egg/Smurphony in 'C' (8109, 8110A, 8110B)
6. Sideshow Smurf/Supersmurf/Paradise Smurfed (8111, 8112A, 8112B)
7. Sir Hefty/The Baby Smurf/The Fake Smurf (8113, 8114A, 8114B)
8. Painter and Poet/Haunted Smurfs/The Purple Smurf (8115, 8116A, 8116B)
9. The Fountain of Smurf/The Magnifying Mixture/Foul Weather Smurf (8117, 8118A, 8118B)
10. The Hundredth Smurf/The Adominable Snow Beast/Gargamel the Generous (8119, 8120A, 8120B)
11. The Smurfette/Now You Smurf 'em, Now You Don't/Spelunking Smurfs (8121, 8122A, 8122B)
12. The Smurfs' Apprentice/Smurfed Colored Glasses/The Clockwork Smurf (8123A, 8123B, 8124)
13. Fuzzle Trouble/Smurfette's Dancing Shoes/The Smurfs and the Money Tree (8125A, 8125B, 8126)
SPECIAL: The Smurfs' Springtime Special (aired 4/8/82) (is a bonus feature in the DVD set)
The listing of episodes on the season 1, volume 1 DVD is:
1. The Smurf's Apprentice (15 min)/The Smurfette (30 min)/Vanity Fare (15 min) - 9/12/81 (8123A, 8121, 8102B)
2. King Smurf (15 min)/The Astrosmurf (30 min)/Jokey's Medicine (15 min) - 9/19/81 (8106A, 8101, 8102A)
3. St. Smurf and the Dragon (30 min)/Sorcerer Smurf (15 min) - 9/26/81 (8103, 8104B) (a repeat episode took up the first 15 minutes of the show)
4. The Smurfs and the Howlibird (15 min) - 10/3/81 (8106B) (two repeat episodes this week)
5. The Magical Meanie (15 min) - 10/10/81 (8104A) (two more repeat episodes this week)
6. Bewitched, Bothered and Be-Smurfed (30 min) - 10/17/81 (8105) (again, two more repeat episodes this week, sandwiched between this week's new segment)

IIRC, When Smurfs originally ran on NBC, it was 1 half-hour episode sandwiched between two 10 minute shorts, at least until NBC expanded the series to 90 minutes.

There are no bad ideas, just badly written ones.
