Info 22: The Overalls Forum - closes today

I've just read that this forum will be closed today.
New address is at the right side at links. I don't know if old postings are transferred. Board owner tries to. Old link is still open. There are many links to pics, vids, stories, polls etc.

Edit. One day later the old site (http://girlinoveralls.phpbb-host.com) was offline. The new forum now requires registration to read the main posts.

Some post of the old and new board (http://overalls.freeforums.org) can be watched via a Google search.

Edit 2011/06: The old forum seems to be online again.  I linked it again on the right side at my links (Overalls Forum (old)).

Info 21: Waltons season 8 complete

Finally I have watched all episodes. I'm disappointed of the few bib scenes and also the plots. Rating stays at 3, I even considered 2.

For full review see main entry of season 8.

Neues vom Süderhof

German kids' series about a farm, 52 ep. in 4 seasons
-Year: 1991-1995
-Year in film: 1990s
-Country: Germany
-Who in bibs: girls, boys ~6-14, men
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no, partly TV recordings
-Bib occurrence: medium
-Rating:  8/10
-Rating: ********
-Comment: Several boys and girls, children, teens and men in different bibs and shortalls. At least 3 boys, also 2 in shortalls and at least 3 girls. I don't know all names and I don't remember all episodes. Similar to "Die Kinder vom Alstertal" (see that entry), but even better, partly same actors. Books by Brigitte Blobel. Also some cycling scenes (both boys and girls), perhaps even riding? Also a girl in red shortalls (or bibs) and another teen girl not pictured. Family friendly series and also some other interesting scenes like swimming or in the hay. I have to watch all episodes again.

Images: Ep 28 top left, ep 29 top right, ep 2 bottom left, ep 6 bottom right (or intro)
Tim Küchler as Ben (image top left on right with his older friend Patrick, played by Jonas Reinsch), and image right in shortalls (wearing dental braces), image bottom left is Molle (Pamela Großer ?). I have to investigate other episodes and names. I think top images are from season 2. In season one are different actors like young boy Dany also in different bibs. One episode with junior firefighters, but I think bibs are covered with jackets.

Pamela Großer also appeared in series "Kartoffeln mit Stippe" see my sailor suit and Lederhosen blog.

Update: Also some more actors, older teen girls and Niki von der Burg. Adding tag baggy (Tim Küchler as Ben) and riding (teen girl).
Probablyalso sitting scenes (others than riding and cycling). Maybe
women?At least in aprons like granny. Also some book entries. I think I bought the book #38 Ben macht Karriere (about s4e11).

The Baby-Sitters Club (1995)

Teen film
-Year: 1995
-Year in film: 1990s?
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: girls ~15 ys.
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no, partly TV recordings
-Bib occurence: medium?
-Rating:  6/10 ?
-Rating: ******
-Comment: At least 2 or 3 teen girls in different bibs/shortalls (pictured). Also girls in yellow rain bibs. I don't know all their names. I also don't remember this complete movie. But this is a typical film for/with girls of the 90s and surely good family entertainment. I usually don't like these girls' films (except some few ones) but shortalls look good. Book series by Ann M. Martin. On the left image is main character Schuyler Fisk as tomboy Krysty, I think. I found this movie by coincidence at a link from Asher Metchik (also with Schuyler Fisk in Trading Mom, see that entry here). I have to see this movie the next broadcasting and will update this entry. Also a scene with a bike, but I don't know if cycling it. There is also a (I think) related TV series of the same name. I have to check this also for bibs. Rated PG.

The Green Promise

Farm film starring Natalie Wood, now PD
-Year: 1949
-Year in film: 1940s?
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Phineas ~16, men
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurence: very low
-Rating:  3/10
-Rating: ***
-Comment: A teen boy in bibs (Ted Donaldson, thanks for the help!). I searched at IMDb for keyword 4-H club (junior farmers' organization). In total only 3 films and this is one of it. As this is an old film I searched on archive.org and saw that this is in Public Domain. I didn't had the time to watch the entire movie, but I assume few bib scenes. There are 3 mostly younger girls in the 4-H. No farm or 4-H keyword at archive.org. No bibs in thumbnails. Bibs are not perfect, but I think realistic and also showing some farm work and some funny scenes. Film is freely available for streaming or download at

http://www.archive.org/details/The_Green_Promise

Previously rated 4 now 3. 2 very brief scenes. In mid 2024 I found a colorized version (which is also much sharper)

Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang (1978)

Fantasy film about a small shy kid
-Year: 1978
-Year in film: 1975?
-Country: Canada
-Who in bibs:  Jacob "Two-Two" 6
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: low+
-Rating:  4/10
-Rating: *****
-Comment: Stephen Rosenberg (pictured) in hickory striped bibs. I think this is a weird film and I don't know this complete movie. However I assume few bib scenes (at the beginning only? in non fantasy scenes). There was also a remake in 1999 and an animated TV series of Jacob Two-Two. Famous novel series by Mordecai Richler. I don't think that I would like this film of the 70s. And a small kid in even smaller bibs. Perhaps the book or the remake are better (?) I have to check this.

Update: I think some more scenes than first assumed. But the boy is very young. I haven't found any bibs scenes in the modern remake. More pics later. Post exists

O. Henry's Full House

5 short stories of O. Henry in one film
-Year: 1952
-Year in film: 1910s?
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: boy J.B. (Red Chief) 9 ys, men
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurence: often
-Rating:  5/10
-Rating: *****
-Comment: Lee Aaker (pictured) in bibs. This is the short story "The Ransom of Red Chief" about the kidnapping of a boy. Short film about 20 minutes. Directed by Henry Hathaway. Not to be confused with other films of the same story title (one starring Haley Joel Osment) but I don't know of other films with bibs, but have to verify that. This complete film aka Full House (also other films with this title, even 2 films in 1952). I kinda like this film, actor and bibs, although short. Bibs are not perfect (probably not jeans fabric) but back is also OK, I think small bib piece, not only suspenders. He also climed on a back of one of his hijackers. Child actor Lee Aaker is also known for acting in other films and series like Rin-Tin-Tin (also good series, but I think without bibs). I think the other of the 4 stories in this film are mostly funny (and without bibs), but this is more excited. I watched most parts of this film and remember also 2 men in bibs (short scenes), if I don't mixed up.

Water Damage (1999)

Thriller starring Daniel Baldwin
-Year: 1999
-Year in film: 1990s?
-Country: Canada
-Who in bibs: boy ~7 ys
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurence: low?
-Rating:  4/10
-Rating: ****
-Comment: A young boy in blue bibs (pictured). I don't know his name (perhaps Colin Jefferson).  I also don't remember seeing this movie. Perhaps one of many thriller movies and I don't think anything special. I understand that this the youngest son of Paul Preedy (Baldwin) who drowned. Then I assume very few bib scenes. I hope that I can watch or record this film on TV. Film aka Lost Memory - Water Damage. B movie. However bibs don't look like they are too small and good color. I can't rate more than 4 for now. No trailer at YouTube that I could embed.

Story 10: Bibs for $ 1,79 - City man in bibs

The Waltons season 8 ep. 15

Bib overalls for sale at Ike Godsey's for $ 1,79 (in 1943), right sign. I'm not sure if this is realistic. A book (see story 9) was offered for $ 2,50. A book as expensive as overalls? Also I'm not sure if in WWII everything was available (and people buying a book for such a price).
Another funny story: Corporal Ted Lapinsky (pic, middle) who is at the army together with Jason (right) came from a city and never was on a farm. So Jason gave him light blue bibs and a straw hat (left hand). Jason shows him farm work (miking, feeding pigs and chickens). Ted is afraid of the chickens. Also some touching scenes, but  don't want to tell this plot. On the left is Elizabeth. More and more bib scenes in season 8, but mostly grown ups. Almost all kids don't wear bibs. I wonder why and why Ike selling bibs. The whole fashion in this season looks more like the 70s. But I still have some episodes to watch.

Edit: In ep. 20 there is a different sign at another place with price 79 ct.! The other sign is still there. Either it's a special offer or it's a different bib quality (non jeans?) Thats 3 bibs for the book. Suspenders are 25 ct.

Treasure of Pirate's Point

 Kids' pirate film
-Year: 1999
-Year in film: 1990s?
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: girl ~ 13
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: medium?
-Rating:  5/10
-Rating: *****
-Comment: A girl in red and dark blue bibs (pictured, I think this must be Britanny Alyse Smith as Flame). I'm not sure if I have already seen this complete movie. If so, I can't remember. But this could be a funny and entertaining family film. Kids as pirates also wear (different) bibs, the girl red bibs, and I think also at least one boy and one girl in green bibs. I have to watch this film. There are not many pirates kids' films in the 90s. One is Metusalem starring Maxime Collin (there also a girl in light blue shortalls in film Tirelire Combines & Cie). I found this film coincidentally at a link by actor Asher Metchik (film Trading Mom, see that entry). Film aka The Legend of Pirate's Point. No trailer at YouTube to embedd.
