Strange little short from Warner Bros. that has an early appearance of Ray Collins, 27 years before he was on Perry Mason. His voice gives him away.

Nice to see Armstrong acting again, but am I the only one to notice the major wardrobe malfunction within the first few minutes of the show?? On the version currently being aired on MeTV, when Lockwood is knocked down in front of Armstrong, there's an obvious digital blurring of Lockwood's widely spread legs. On the DVD of this episode you can see why, as one of his "boys" makes an uncredited entrance for a second or two. Freeze framed, It's quite the exposure! Of course when the show originally aired it's likely to have gone unnoticed in the low resolution 60s on smaller screens.

Have seen numerous episodes on trips to Canada, and have found it a fun watch. No two shows exactly alike, and it's filled with various characters the host has to deal with. Search as I may, I cannot find it on any of the US networks. Wish HGTV, Discovery, or some US channel would carry the show. What are they waiting for? Jeff, the host, says he'll buy anything, and from the shows I've seen, that's pretty much true. I've seen him buy everything from bongs to what's left in an Asian food store after being closed for weeks, and somehow he makes money on the stuff he deals for. He manages to fill a huge warehouse store that he fills with the stuff he accumulates. The store looks like one of those places you could spends hours in, seeing what he's found. I think the show would do well in the US because there's nothing else out there like it. Bring it on!
