This past week was super rough emotionally-wise for a lot of people for many reasons.
I almost didn’t write anything today because when I started to write, I felt a lot of anger and absolute rage at the callousness of people when it comes to the death of others.
I wrote an entire post full of anger and ranting. Then I deleted it all because I remembered a verse my mom has recited to me time and time again when I am angry or down about events in the world.
Paul, writing to the church of Phillipi said, “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.”
Whew. Yeah. I needed that reminder this week.
I have not been focusing on things that are just or pure or lovely at all this week.
I am going to try to change that this weekend and next week, though.
I almost wrote an entire post about the many sad events of last week, but I think today I’ll leave this space as somewhere that we can connect on the lighter, happier things. Bettie Gilbert from BettieG’s RA Seasons helped change my mind when she wrote on the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot post yesterday: “Thank you for this resting space to connect, Lisa. It really has been such an intense week full of so many prayers.”
Don’t we all need a bit of a resting space right now? Or an escape if you will?
So, just as I was sinking more into depression yesterday, I saw a post about how The Monkees aired for the first time yesterday (September 12) in 1966 and thought, “I’m going to share that on my blog instead.”
Now, I am not old enough to remember this but I did watch reruns of The Monkees on Nikelodeon on my friends’ TV in the 1980s.
I was obsessed with the show and absolutely over the moon when my brother (I believe it was him) found one of their records. Like a real record. For a record player.
I played that thing all the time.
I was probably about 8 or 9 at the time and even though my brother tried to explain they were old now, I just ignored him and skipped around the house singing their songs.
I had the biggest crush on Davy — or the young Davy. Of course, by the time I was watching him, the dude was like in his 40s or 50s. I must say that when I got much older, I realized he had aged very well.
The show was ridiculous but actually quite funny. Last night I watched one of the episodes which I found on YouTube, and it really did hold up well!
I am considering writing a full blog post on the band after I do some more research, but I can say already that I know that the band was formed for the show and their popularity and touring continued after the show ended. I also know only one band member is still alive — Micky Dolenz.
Many of their songs are still heard on the radio today — or at least the oldies station with the most popular probably being “I’m A Believer”, written by Neil Diamond. The song was covered in 2001 by Smash Mouth and featured in the movie Shrek.
Personally, I really liked Daydream Believer and even found myself singing along to it last night. After a week from hell that left me reeling and sleeping very little, it was a healing balm to my soul.
I’ve linked it here for your enjoyment:
I found it interesting that at the end of the one full episode I found, there was an interview with the band about some “demonstrations” going on in L.A. about curfews that had been put in place for teenagers, or those under the age of 21 at least. I clipped that for you and thought I’d share it here too.
Bettie told me that when she likes to read and watch garden journals when her heart is overwhelmed.
She also wrote, “God’s nature soothes my soul.”
For Bettie and all of us, I thought I’d share the photos I took on a drive to take my husband’s truck to a mechanic in the middle of nowhere. They aren’t the best quality but I was struck with the insane beauty of the area.
And Paul said to mediate on what is lovely, so I did that.
I hope you can focus on lovely, just, and noble things this week as you work on healing from whatever might have been hard for you this past week.
Hello! Welcome to my blog. I am a blogger, homeschool mom, and I write cozy mysteries.
You can find my Gladwynn Grant Mystery series HERE.
For the past several months, I have been writing about or recapping episodes from the 1977-1979 TV Show The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries. For the first season, the episodes would flip-flop back and forth between featuring The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, and eventually the two would join forces before they began to phase Nancy out all together.
This time around, I’m writing about the episode entitled The Secret of the Jade Kwan Yin which features The Hardy Boys.
This one will take the boys into a crime underworld stemming from smuggling originating in Hong Kong. The episode starts with Fenton Hardy watching a news broadcast talking about items being smuggled into “ports all over the world” from the small Asian country.
I don’t know if I remember the Hard Boys hometown being on the ocean before this episode, but maybe it was, because they find themselves scuba diving in the ocean when a package drops under the water in front of them. They’re confused but haul it out. They don’t know that two “Asian” men (I think the one man may actually be Hispanic but they are supposed to be of Chinese decent) are watching from the shore in scuba gear. They are upset that the two boys have picked up the package.
“If I had known anyone was going to be here, I wouldn’t have chosen this cove,” the one man says.
This man, by the way, is Richard Lee-Syeung who I recognize as the con-man trinket seller on M.A.S.H.
According to IMdb, Lee -Syeung, “has been seen and heard on numerous commercials and voice-overs. His roles include some of the most popular characters on TV shows such as M*A*S*H, Happy Days, What’s Happening, Hardy Boys, The Incredible Hulk and played an Asian version of Ed McMahon on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.”
And, no, he is not Chinese. He’s an American with Chinese and Mexican heritage. There is your bit of trivia and now back to the show.
The other man tells Lee-Syeung that they will get the package back. No big deal. It’s just two teenage kids.
Well, these two teenagers have taken the package home with Frank’s girlfriend (and Fenton’s secretary) Callie.
The boys open the package and find what looks like an ancient statue inside an adorned green box. They find some Chinese writing on the bottom and Callie says she’s seen a statue like in Chinatown.
So, the three go to Chinatown to find the shop. They find the shop and a couple of statues that look just like the one they found. The Chinese-American shop worker says that the statues in her shop are $14 but there is an original statue that his priceless because of what it means to her people.
It is a depiction of Kwan Yin who was a Chinese Buddhist deity, a goddess of mercy, she says.
In the old days she was thought to be the guardian of fishermen and there was a little Kwan Yin temple in every fishing village.
Now the boys are worried. Could they have found the real statue after it was smuggled out of Hong Kong?
They show the young woman the inscription on the bottom of the statue, which they had gotten a rub of earlier, and she says the inscription is a Chinese poem that reads: “A branch without leaves, a raven perched on it, this autumn eve.”
She suggests they go see her uncle across the street. He’s at the Kung Fu studio, where he teaches.
She walks them over and tells them what Kung Fu is actually called, which I thought was very interesting. I won’t write what she said here because I don’t know the spelling and don’t want to share any misinformation.
After watching a Kung Fu match and finding out that the uncle is an expert in it, the boys are a little nervous when he says he wants to talk to them alone over tea.
(I will say one annoying thing about this episode is every time they are in a Chinese house or shop there is Chinese-styled music playing in the background and it almost drowns out the dialogue.)
The uncle says he paid for the Kwan Yin statue to be sent to his shop, but it was stolen by a Chinese-American criminal who demanded a ransom for the statue.
The uncle, Mr. Chen, asks the boys to bring the statue back to him so he can see if it is the same one and if it is then he can tell the police the statue has come back to the rightful owner. The statue will be shown at the parade the following night.
Unfortunately, when the boys get home, they find out the statue has been stolen. Of course, we know it is the two men who were supposed to retrieve it from the boat in the first place. We watch them do it. The boys catch the men in the act and then have to chase them on their motorcycles.
When they lose the men, they have to tell both their dad and Mr. Chen that the statue was stolen from them. Oh, and the police because, as usual, calling the police is an afterthought for the Hardy Boys
The police chief is not happy at all because he was working with the FBI to get the statue back to its rightful owner.
“If you had called us when you had fished it out, then Chin Lee would have had his precious kwan yin and I’d have no problem,” the chief snaps. He tells the boys he called them in to tell them he wants them to stay out of it.
“This is our job, not yours!”
The boys say they understand and hang their heads like scolded puppies. They’re not going to stay out of it. We all know that.
They go back to the shop to talk to the girl at the shop — Lily. They want to apologize to her. She tells them a legend about the statue when they arrive. She says the statue is over 200 years old and was put in a temple in a fishing village after a tidal wave destroyed the village but everyone survived. The people credited Kwan Yin for saving them and had the statue installed in the temple.
She says her uncle promised people in the community to have the statue brought there to bring back prosperity. If it doesn’t show up her uncle will look like a fool.
Soon we learn that one of Uncle Chin’s students from the Kung Fu studio is actually behind the theft and has left a boat at a marina with his fingerprints on it that will prove he is the one who stole the statue in the first place.
He wants the men who stole the statue from the boys to destroy the boat. They set a bomb on the boat.
Of course, you know what will happen later — that’s right, when the boys find the boat through various ways and while they are exploring it, it explodes, which leaves Callie shocked and screaming because she thinks they’ve been killed in the explosion.
They haven’t been killed, obviously, and we switch back to the men who set the bomb. They are calling Mr. Chen and telling him that they want $100,000 for the statue now. Mr. Chen is upset and says he can’t pay that, and asks who is on the phone. The student says, “You should have memorized my voice more, old man.”
Meanwhile, Joe has been able to pull fingerprints off some items on the boat and somehow the tape he used to lift the fingerprint survived despite all that swimming they had to do in the water to get back to the pier.
Their aunt bursts in as they start to try to study the fingerprint and tells them that eight hours of sleep is important. I had to laugh a little when Joe tells her that “actually recent research shows that not everyone needs eight —”
She interrupts him and tells him to go to bed. I didn’t realize that research about sleep was out back then too.
The boys go to Mr. Chen’s store to talk to him, but he tells them he has given up and is going to pay the ransom to get his statue back. He leaves and the boys stay back to lament with Lily that her uncle is doing the wrong thing.
The boys then try to find Mr. Chen at his Kung Fu studio to try to talk him out of it, but when they get there, he’s already left to get the money to pay for the statue.
They then try to lift fingerprints from the sparring sticks to see if any of the men there could be involved with the theft of the statue. Once they confirm the fingerprints match, they are attacked by two men. They are able to escape into the street where the parade is going on. They run to find Mr. Chen and stop him from paying the ransom and hide on the edge of the alley while the student reveals himself to Mr. Chen and says he stole the statue. Mr. Chen is sad but says they can keep the money, he just wants the statue. The boys jump in and tackle the men and take the statue and tell Mr. Chen to run.
He does and then everyone is running as the men try to catch up to the boys to get the statue. What follows is a game of keep away while the boys toss it back and forth to each other across the street as the men get closer to one or the other.
Then — PLOT TWIST!!! — during a pretty cool slow motion scene, Joe’s foot catches on the curb and he trips and falls, shattering the statue into a million pieces. What the boys see, though, isn’t ancient glass, but a sidewalk full of tiny, gems of all colors. About this time Mr. Chen and the other men who betrayed him catch up to them.
“This wasn’t the real Kwan Yin, it was a fake to transport jewels,” Frank cries.
“Yes,” Mr. Chen confirms, and then tells them he was the one who ordered the statue with the jewels in it, but his men went rogue and tried to steal it for themselves.
Fenton Hardy and some undercover members of the FBI, as well as the police, show up next and arrest Mr. Chen and his men. The real statue is in Hong Kong, according to Fenton. This was just a way to smuggle in jewels. The chief is now happy because they were able to break up a smuggling ring that has been operation for five years. He says the Hong Kong police will be thrilled with what they’ve done.
Lily says she had no idea what her uncle was doing (ha, yeah right!) and the police say they believe her because Interpol had been watching her uncle for “quite some time.” I guess we are supposed to gather from that the authorities knew she wasn’t involved? I have no idea but the boys say they were help her stay out of trouble however they can.
There is some cheesy joke at the end of the show about Chinese breakfast cereal and everyone laughs like they always do in the last scene of an episode.
This was an educational and interesting episode with a lot of tidbits dropped in about Chinese culture. Unlike some shows made around the same era (1979) the depictions of the Chinese and Chinese-Americans was fairly espectful. There were some stereotypes presented but it didn’t go over the top to me.
This one had a lot of suspense and the reveal of Mr. Chen being the guilty in the end was a good surprise.
The next episode I will be watching will be a Nancy Drew centered one called The Mystery of the Solid Gold Kicker. It will feature a surprise guest star who became a big star in the 1990s and 2000s. Most of my readers will definitely know the actor when I talk about this episode next time around.
Here I am with another recap of an episode from The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries show from 1977.
As I’ve mentioned before, in the first season of this series the episodes switched back and forth from Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew episodes and in the next season they started to join together. Eventually they began to phase out the Nancy episodes and focus more on The Hardy Boys. A new actress also started as Nancy when Pamela Sue Martin became disenchanted with the parts that were being written for her character.
This time around I am writing about a Nancy Drew centered episode called A Haunting We Will Go.
As far as episodes go, this one wasn’t the worst. It had a lot of humor mixed in and kept the mystery going for quite a long time. It also had some absolutely ridiculous elements, but that’s totally okay. That’s what makes these episodes fun.
Nancy, George, and Ned are producing a play to raise money to demolish the old town theater so they can build a children’s home. What exactly is the children’s house? I have no idea, but it is supposed to be a good cause, from what I can tell.
They’ve already recruited a former well-known local actress to perform in the play. Then Ned starts receiving notifications from other people who used to act in the community theater and are now famous.
They want to come and help out too.
The young people are confused, but excited for them all to come, even though a prop chandelier fell and almost killed Nancy the scene before.
Here are our characters who used to be actors at the theater: Alex Richmond, Seth Taylor, Danny Day, Thelma March, and Janet Musant.
Janet remained living in the town but everyone else moved away. Janet isn’t too happy about having been left behind and everyone returning either. She’s pretty unpleasant all around but she seems to have reason to be. Life hasn’t been easy to her. Her hotel, located across the street from the theater, is old and run down and she uses a cane. We aren’t sure why she has the cane and limp but it’s clear some kind of illness or injury has befallen her.
Janet.
Nancy is trying to figure out what happened with the light fixture that almost fell on her when the other people start to arrive.
We feel the tension among the group fairly fast, especially between the others and Thelma, who is now a movie actress and is very condescending to everyone. She tells the one man she wonders how he is able to spend all his time sharing bad news as a newscaster and then says, “Oh well, I always turn way from you to channel 3. It’s a much better quality of news.”
This is how things will go for a good portion of the first half of the show — the actors shooting verbal barbs at each other.
The actors all claim they came back to the theater to act on the stage one more time before the theater is destroyed, but Nancy recognizes right away there isn’t a ton of truth in these statements.
Something else is definitely up.
Arguments are breaking out, snide remarks are being made, and when Nancy suggests they came for a reason other than raising money for the children’s house, they all get funny looks on their faces.
Nancy was only referring to the fact they were all in the same play together years ago, but they certainly looked panicked. Nancy doesn’t miss these expressions either.
Later that night, after an argument between Seth and Thelma that is witnessed by Nancy and George, the five actors begin searching the theater.
We aren’t sure what they are searching for, but it seems like some kind of treasure from the comments they are making. “It should be back here!” “This is where we put up the wall!”
During the search they insult and accuse each other of vague offenses, keeping us from knowing what is really going on.
At one point Seth and Janet end up in an argument at the top of the stairs in the theater. The actors have been put up at Janet’s hotel. Janet snottily asks Seth if he is happy with his room.
He sneers back that he expected it to be lined with mink.
“Someone has been making a very good living out of this nightmare,” he snaps.
Janet is incredulous. “You think it’s me? Would I stay on in this town, in this run down mausoleum?”
“Where else would you fit in so well?” Seth asks.
Ouch.
Seth snaps out some more accusing remarks and Janet swings at him with her cane. He grabs her at the moment Nancy shows up at the bottom of the stairs and it looks like Seth is about to throw the woman down the stairs. Yikes. He clearly has anger issues, if not homicidal tendencies
The pair of actors claim they were simply practicing a scene to attempt to cover up their fight, but Nancy’s way too smart for that. She knows something is going on.
She tells Ned something is going on and Ned sort of groans and says, “Why are you always playing detective when there’s no crime?”
Burn.
Nancy isn’t letting Ned deter her though. She knows these people are hiding things and she’s going to find out what they are.
I have to say that Nancy is really, really rude to Ned in this episode. She mocks him incessantly because he is proud of bringing all the actors in and organizing the play. Nancy is often very mean to him, and I don’t know why he keeps pursuing her.
Look! She’s even giving him the “duh, Ned!” expression!
I’m sure the writers were trying to add humor, but it’s not funny when Nancy compliments him only to bait and switch and tell him he needs to see a psychiatrist because he worked so hard on a project that she talked him into working on.
*pulling out soapbox*
I think he’s a pretty weak man for putting up with her belittling him all the time, but I think that’s what 70s shows were like at times. They were trying to give women independence and much like today there is an attitude that to make women appear stronger they have to tear men down. I don’t like that idea or to see it pushed here.
*putting soapbox away*
Anyhow, Ned does start to wonder if Nancy is right about something weird going on when he stops by the theater at night to check the props and lights again and finds Thelma and Alex carrying bricks out the back door of the theater.
See, right before Ned shows up, the viewer is shown that all four of the actors are digging with pickaxes into a wall in the basement of the theater. They’re saying something about them not remembering it being so thick and they thought it was more hollow.
When Ned catches them, they toss out a lame excuse that Alex has a bad back and needs to sleep on the bricks to help his back. I think that was a thing people did back in the day but ouch!
They talk Ned into leaving to get some rest by suggesting he’s offended Thelma by calling her old, so they can go back to digging.
In the morning, Ned and Nancy find the actors all asleep in the dressing room and they claim they were running their lines.
Nancy again knows they are lying, and Ned admits he saw them sneaking bricks out of the theater the night before.
“I knew it!” Nancy declares.
When Ned and Nancy leave, the actors start talking about how they’ve been bled dry financially by someone in the room and that someone has their money and they’re going to find out who. All four (Janet isn’t there) deny being the blackmailer.
The actors agree to stumble out onto the stage for a rehearsal but after a few runs they are ready to go back to their rooms and crash. Nancy argues that they need to stay to help her learn her part (which seems to consist entirely of her carrying drinks out to the stage and asking if they want one … so not too challenging to me.)
While arguing about going or staying, an entire light fixture falls and would have killed Alex if Nancy hadn’t pushed him out of the way.
Nancy is certain it was done on purpose, but, as usual, her father (Carson Drew) and Ned disagree and offer up excuses like: “The theater is old. Maybe we shouldn’t even have people there for a play,” and “These are fine, upstanding members of society. Why would they have anything to do with people almost getting killed in the theater, Nancy? It’s preposterous!” (Not actual dialogue but imagine all that said in a very posh British accent. I did and it made me giggle.)
Nancy pushes out her lower lip and stomps her foot and says, “Well, I am going to find out what is going on! I am! I am!”
She doesn’t actually say this but it’s very close.
She stomps out the door like a toddler after that. Very mature for an “18-year-old” sleuth.
Things get worse after she leaves when her dad’s sexism rears it’s ugly head when he suggests she’s just being emotional because she’s working with so many stars. The he leans back with his pipe and grins.
Ick. The way Carson Drew is portrayed in this show is so icky to me. In the books he was fairly clueless — letting Nancy run all over the place without really checking on her, but in the show he’s downright dismissive of her and practically calls her an emotional woman on her period. He is a lot more misogynistic in the show in other words.
Nancy decides she’s going to put some ultra-violet paint on things around the studio, like the door, to see if any of the actors are the person who has been sneaking around and sabotaging things in the theater.
During the episode we have little snippets of someone walking around spying on Nancy and George or some of the actors. It’s always just someone in black boots and pants so we are never sure if it is one of the actors or who.
The next day during rehearsals, Nancy shuts off the lights and shines ultra-violet light onto the stage to see who is guilty and discovers that all of the actors have the paint on their hands. We won’t get into how she found an ultra-violet light that big to shine on them because I have no idea.
This leads the actors to discuss in private how Nancy knows too much and that “we know what we have to do.”
“No, oh no,” says Seth. “I can’t do that again.”
“You can’t do what again?” asks Thelma (who has a fake theater voice…it’s weird).
“I can’t do away with that sweet, innocent girl.”
Thelma says she didn’t want to do away with her anyhow.
“She’s talking about him,” Danny says. “We’ve got to get rid of him.”
“In the cellar,” Alex says. “Before he does away with us.”
I’m sorry? Blink. Blink.
Before who does away with you?
Oh my!
So, next, Nancy and George go to the library to find newspapers that will tell them what happened when the first play was held some 20 plus years ago. They find out that the original play was promoted by a producer named Jason Hall. Hall took in several donations from the community businesses to promote the play and promised that New York critics would come in to see it. The play flopped , no critics came, and Jason Hall disappeared the first night of the performance with all the money.
A humorous moment comes in the next scene comes when the actors pull a sarcophagus out of the basement of the theater. The entire time they are saying things like, “Jason has gotten heavier,” or “Good grief, where did you think Jason was going to go after all these years.”
Yikes. So, we have already figured out what happened to Jason.
Ned stumbles onto them while coming back to check something at the theater and Seth, while holding one end of the sarcophagus says, “Oh..” nervous laugh. “Beautiful night, isn’t it?”
“That looks like a sarcophagus,” Ned says.
Seth, barely able to hold on to his end of the thing says breathlessly, “Well, yes, it is a sarcophagus.”
Like this is something that happens every day. Two grown men carrying a sarcophagus.
Seth says that the item was a souvenir he wanted to keep and that he collects them
“I have nine of them. I have just the spot for this one in my Hollywood apartment.”
“Do you think he’s suspicious of anything?” Alex asks when Ned leaves.
“What’s suspicious about two men carrying a sarcophagus down a dark alleyway at midnight?” Seth asks while rolling his eyes.
Har. Har. Cue the cymbal tap.
Nancy hears about the sarcophagus and tells her dad that she just knows that Jason Hall’s body is in the sarcophagus.
Carson isn’t very sure about this, because, you know, it would be a travesty for him to believe his daughter, but he calls the police anyhow.
Before the police get there, the actors talk about how they can’t believe Jason is still in there. Janet says how she’s the one who has had to live across the street from where his body has been buried while they all went to live their lives somewhere else.
When the police get there, bursting through the doors, they make the actors open the sarcophagus and — Oh. It doesn’t have a body inside. Instead, it is full of bricks.
Even the actors are shocked but try to play it off.
“Of course there isn’t a body in there!” they declare. “We knew there wouldn’t be!”
But they all look a bit panicked and when everyone else leaves, Danny says that the body was removed by the blackmailer who has been demanding money from them to keep the secret a secret.
The show must go on and the next night they are all on the stage, while the local TV station broadcasts it live.
Nancy, though, standing in the wings, knows what really has happened.
Jason Hall never died. He’s been alive this whole time and he’s the one who has been blackmailing all the actors and creating all the havoc at the theater. When George asks why, Nancy says it is because he’s been trying to end the performance. Once the theater was torn down and the sarcophagus uncovered, it would be clear he wasn’t really dead and had been blackmailing them all along.
When it is Nancy’s time to go out and they are all supposed to take a drink of champagne, Nancy smells something odd in the bottle and yells for them all not to drink it. She then demands Ned shut off all the lights and use the ultra-violet light on the audience. They see a man with glowing hands in the front row. He takes off up onto the stage and runs across it, but the actors and the police (where did they even come from?) catch the man. He is revealed to be none other than Jason Hall! Alive and well! Gasp!
Later the actors all share what really happened with Nancy, Carson, Ned and George. They say Jason tricked them all those years ago and took all the money from the investors for the play and the ticket sales. They found out before he could leave town. A violent argument ensued and Jason fell and hit his head, they say. They all thought they had killed him, but instead of calling the police (hello!!) they tossed him in the sarcophagus to pretend it never happened.
“At sometime, he must have recovered consciousness and gotten out of the sarcophagus, weighted it down with bricks, and then not realizing it we all came back to the theater after the performance and bricked it up,” Alex theorizes.
Everyone agrees that must have been what happened but no one expresses guilt at having shoved Jason’s body in the sarcophagus in the same place. Seth does express guilt at how they have all acted and how they went all cray cray about finding the body before anyone else.
The actors agree they will do the performance again, with no pretenses this time, and raise the money to have the theater torn down so the children’s house can be built.
By the way, when Jason was caught, the dude didn’t even get a line. Not one line. He just scowled at Nancy. I guess that was one way to cut down on how much he had to be paid. Another cost saving measure in this episode is how much was shot with a dark background since they were on a theater stage for much of it. Less lighting expense I suppose.
Everyone agrees at the end that Nancy is an amazing sleuth. She, however, is not an amazing actress, Thelma tells her.
The episode ends with everyone laughing at Nancy, which I thought was a bit called for since she’d been so mean to Ned the entire episode.
If you want to read some of the other episodes I’ve written about, there is a search bar to the right and you can just type in Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew.
Up next will be The Hardy Boys: The Mystery of the Flying Courier!
