That's Ray Owens as S.I.R. (Helena Van Koert played Gizmo, Season 1; Billie Lou Watt, Season 2) For whatever reason, writing and voice acting credits no longer exist. In fact, FLYING HOUSE no longer has any credits. I have one episode of FLYING HOUSE with voice/writing credits as well as several episode of SUPERBOOK with writing/voice credits. (I have FLYING HOUSE episode THE PRIZE THAT WAS WON AND LOST on tape from 1988-ish.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-35011998841208034982011-12-31T09:50:48.774-05:002011-12-31T09:50:48.774-05:00When FamilyNet presented "The Flying House&qu...When FamilyNet presented "The Flying House", the episodes had credits. When the Trinity Broadcasting Network presented the series, there were no credits. <br /><br />I had never seen the name George Gladir before and I had never seen the name in any list of credits for "The Flying House". Could the author of the article explain George Gladir and where he learned about the person?Mario500https://www.blogger.com/profile/18251171060938775260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-69288129984036536422011-12-23T13:34:09.309-05:002011-12-23T13:34:09.309-05:00Jeremy,

Regarding the use of stock music, I think the main thing that precipitated my comment was a stretch of episodes in which the same, exact music was used to open each and every episode. That bespoke a certain lack of imagination in whoever set up the musical accompaniment.<br /><br />I am thinking of doing a similar posting once Easter comes around again, so watch out for it.<br /><br />ChrisChris Barathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845538037091279990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-82611551023591935512011-12-22T17:56:28.279-05:002011-12-22T17:56:28.279-05:00"I'm also sorry to say that the annoying ..."I'm also sorry to say that the annoying Corky doesn't improve that much upon further acquaintance."<br /><br />Hmmm...honestly, I didn't think Corkey was that annoying at all. Sure, his voice may sound a wee bit irritating at times, but nothing really annoying as heck.<br /><br />"You hear many of the same basic musical themes over and over and over again in episode after episode, which gets real old real fast. Yeah, I know that the earliest Disney TV series used stock music as well, but nowhere near as unimaginatively as The Flying House tends to."<br /><br />I actually thought a lot of the background music was not bad at all; the timing and the pacing really gave the show a sense of atmosphere. <br /><br />"But the characterization of the robot SIR (George Gladir) is a distinct improvement upon that of Superbook's Gizmo"<br /><br />I could almost agree with you, but I still thought Gizmo had some charm, especially to his character design; certainly more charm and appeal than *sighs* that other Gizmo on that other Superbook.<br /><br />"Professor Bumble provides a humorous adult presence that Superbook did not have. Professor Peeper's prickly relationship with his son Christopher in Superbook may have given the adult-child relationships there an extra layer of realism, but Peeper could not be classified as endearing by any stretch of the imagination."<br /><br />Yeah, Professor Bumble is a pretty likeable character. As for Professor Peeper, I agree he wasn't quite as endearing as Bumble. There are some charming qualities with the character that I admire, but doesn't hold up to same likeability level as Humphrey Bumble.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041999205091833171noreply@blogger.com
