Bring 'em Back Alive!

Just searching through the old boxes, saw the below and realised we don't have a direct thread for this Indy inspired TV Series. The Boxleitner pose is awfully familiar...

Ah, Frank Buck of Jungle Menace!

I love his porno 'stash. He's a man's man!

Oh, Boxleitner. I still can't believe my dad acted on stage with him in high school.

It has been briefly mentioned in the Tales of the Gold Monkey thread but it's nice to have one dedicated to this forgotten series.

Thanks, Junior, for posting the clips! This was the 1st episode after the pilot show premiere. The theme song brings me back and the production quality is better than I remembered. For some reason, I rarely watched "Bring 'Em Back Alive". I *thought* it was because the show was on at the same time as "Tales of the Gold Monkey" but, checking the airdates, they were on different nights.

Frank Buck was also in Abbott & Costello's, "Africa Screams", along with Clyde Beatty. Both adventurers play themselves.

Haven't see that one, but it's just as well they play themselves, since Clyde Beatty would struggle playing anyone else! Frank Buck looked the more accomplished actor.

This is a show I quite enjoyed since it was indylike. Years later they were shooting something in the park near me (in Toronto Canada) so I decided to stop in and see what was going on. It took me a while to figure things out but I suddenly recognized Bruce Boxleitner who was part of the scene. It was late at night so no many were around but I went hom and get a Bring em back alive book I own. I worked my way close to where he was sitting and at the right time I went up to him and he was kind enough to sign the book for me. The book was from the 40s and was an original paperback and he seemed intrigued by it. He said he had a similar book somewhere. He was sitting and mentioned his bad knee because of shows like that one. The PA came up to shoo me away but because he was ok with me there she backed off. Nice guy. The book is actually one of my favorite items because it was such an unexpected random meeting.
