I remember I used to never miss this show when it would come on TV on Sunday evenings back around 1967 and 68. I see where Lu Ann Haslam became a schoolteacher out in California. Does anybody know whatever became of Michael Shea and Kevin Schultz?

I always took the ending as a sign they finally did make it home safely.

Aww... I love this show. Especially, when it was on the Banana Splits. All 3 of them were such good looking kids. The kid who played Tom Sawyer kinda looks like Ralph Macchio... a lil. lol

Lu Ann Haslam is my film and math teacher, she's a great person. I came accross this video and thought it was awsome to know my teacher was a childhood star.

Great to see Lu-Anne (Becky Thatcher) after all these years, I think this was one of the best children's programmes of it's time.

I remember this theme song. So great to hear it after all these years.

This show came on right before "The Wonderful World Of Disney," and was very similar to the Disney style of combing live action with animation like they did with "Mary Poppins" and "Bedknobs And Broomsticks."

*Whew* I had the biggest crush on Kevin Schultz back in those days--he was just my type! Of course, I was only about 7 when I watched this show lol

i Totally agree, however the material does fall under fair use of provisions due to its age and provided nobody tries to sell it to make a profit..

I wish somebody would make copies of it on DVD and give it away.

@kiwimike1 It's not old enough to be public domain (1922 is the last year anything is old enough to be public domain, unless it fell into the public domain due to nonrenewal under older laws). I'm not sure posting on YouTube is considered "fair use."

i've been in contact with Lu Ann Haslam who played Becky Tatcher in the series and she let me know who now owns the 35mm film now. however upon sending a few emails regarding the series asking about a dvd release. i was told the 35mm film will never be released on dvd as it is over 40 years old and it would be to expensive to convert to dvd.

Then the people who own the copyright should have NO objection to people posting the series on YouTube. They won't release it on DVD, and they're not airing it on TV anymore, so to refuse to let it remain on YouTube is to be a dog in the manger.
