New Exhibit: Irwin Allen Promotional Spots
The title of this exhibit, Irwin Allen Promotional Spots, is a bit of a misnomer, I admit. The thirteen promotional spots you can watch aren’t publicizing Irwin Allen but instead five of his six television shows. The only show I don’t have any promotional spots for is Code Red, which ran from 1981 to 1982 and starred Lorne Greene. I’ve pulled a few of these spots from other parts of the site but the bulk of them are new. I believe some of them are included as bonus features on various DVD releases (one of the Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea releases has a whole slew of spots, I think) and those versions may be of better quality. But it’s neat to see them all together in their colorful glory (aside from the few that are black and white). So take some time to watch a few promotional spots for your favorite Irwin Allen shows; please leave any comments at the exhibit page.
