Info 181: Webfinds THW teens

Something different today. Some German teens of the THW (Technisches Hilfswerk, emergency services) boys/girls. Some in blue bibs, most in older grey cotton bibs and black boots. Nowadays they wear blue synthetic bibs or regular pants like firefighters. Grey bibs are mostly worn in the 90s, 80s and earlier (often with belts), but depends on the region. Occasionally some still wearing grey color.

There are websites of each region and youth division and some have vintage pics (also showing holiday pics like in swimwear, youth camps or competition pics.)

I just did a brief search today. I don't have the time for more research today, but have some more which I found some time ago. I like the grey heavy cotton bibs and boots. Sadly they changed color and fabric. Probably most have/had fun together.

Info 180: Update: Bloody Birthday (1981)

Thanks for this info/suggestion. I already had an entry, but "only" noticed few and short scenes of girls in there (rating 4).

Now there's also one of the main characters and killer kids ~ 11 or 12 yo Billy Jayne aka Billy Jacoby (pictured) in white bibs. I think near the end of the movie only. The white bibs seem to be of quite thin fabric and you can see the shirt line on his back through it. Maybe rather working/painting bibs. Could be better. I don't like white bibs nor dark haired boys wearing glasses, though he fits to this movie.

This is a perfect horror movie and I also like the 80s very much (though set in 1970). I think I would even buy this DVD but I think I will wait for the next broadcasting. It's also completely on the web on different sites but I don't like to watch movies online and now you have to sign in on YouTube as it's rated R.

For more infos and one more pic of a girl (no more new infos yet) see the main entry at

/2012/05/22/bloody-birthday-1981/

Now rating 5. Maybe there are some more supporting actors/actresses?

Info 179: Update: Die Landärztin (2005)

This pic showing the 2008 ep. 5 "Ein neues Leben" of this German/Austrian TV film series about a rural female doctor (unpictured, see my other blog) .

Showing ~30 yo Judith Richter (sitting) and an older woman, maybe ~48 yo Saskia Vester (behind her) in a barn. Quite good farm scenes. The bibs of the younger woman are rare at the backside with simple suspenders (pictured in the main entry, also a headshot and also showing her rubber boots). Maybe someone likes this.

/2012/01/19/die-landarztin-2005/

Also different boys in Lederhosen in different episodes (see my updated entry on other blog, this episode a blond freckled boy in short Lederhosen, rating 6).

I only have recently seen just this 2 episodes, but Richter obviously ofter wearing these bibs. Not sure about other actors/actresses.

For more infos, also about a rebroadcasting date, see the main entry.

For bib scenes rating 3-4. I prefer younger and US actors.

-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, partly TV recordings
-Bib occurrence: low+ *
-Rating: 5/10 ?
-Rating: *****
-Comment: A young blond woman in dark green/khaki bibs and dark rubber boots (pictured) it's not the main character. Is this Jenny Elvers-Elbertzhagen? I think so. Pics showing 2008 ep. s2e7 "Der große Knall". There is also at least one young man in bibs in a different episode(s). Also some handsome boy actors (but I don't know of any in bibs nor Lederhosen). Blue bibs in ep "Mutterliebe" maybe a different younger blond woman. Maybe more episodes/actors/actresses in bibs? A fourth season will come in 2013.

Quite good series about a dark haired female vet (Elisabeth Lanz, probably not in bibs?) and her daughter, I think on the left. I only have seen some few episodes and can't remember them. English title "Zoo Doctor: My Mom the Vet". Also starring Sven Martinek, Michael Lesch, Ursela Monn, Hans-Peter Korff. A similar series is "Die Landärztin (2005)" (rating 4, updating soon, on both my blogs).

Rating 4 for now for bibs scenes. Series is a bit better but depends on the episode. Broadcasted on Sundays on SWR. 

Season 8 has a younger lady (Lilly Wiedemann ~20 yo) in tight beige bibs. Adding tag sitting F. Rating 5

Day-O

TV family film starring Elijah Wood
-Year: 1992
-Year in film: 1990s ?
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Dayo ~ 11 yo
-Available on DVD: no
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: low
-Rating: 6/10 ?
-Rating: ******
-Comment: 11 or 12 yo Elijah Wood in light blue bibs (pictured). A bit baggy, hands in the pockets and a baseball cap.

Thanks very much for this suggestion. It's a very rare movie and maybe I have even seen it (many years ago).

Elijah Wood is a very good actor and the bibs are also very good. But I have to watch the entire movie and hope for a soon broadcasting. Also starring Delta Burke, Carlin Glynn and Charles Shaughnessy. Aka Dayo. I wonder why movies with famous actors aren't available on DVD. I'm not sure if I would buy it. I prefer darker bibs and a bit older actors. But thanks again dbase1!

Rating 6-7 for now. No clips.

I also have seen most parts of Nanny McPhee again (rating 5, but I think I will give 3-4) Some good other clothing scenes (soon on my sailor suit blog).

/2011/07/02/nanny-mcphee/

The latest 2 episodes of 7th Heaven had Ruthy and Mary in bibs, but nothing different than in previous episodes, so no need for a separate entry.

The Secret Agent Club

Family /action film starring Hulk Hogan
-Year: 1996
-Year in film: 1990s ?
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Rosalie ~ 11 yo ?
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: often
-Rating: 5/10 ?
-Rating: *****
-Comment: At least one girl in light blue bibs, probably Ashley Power (pictured). Maybe more (supporting) actors as well?

Maybe I have seen this movie long time ago, but I can't remember it, so I have to check this again completely. Looks like a quite good family movie, although I don't like Hulk Hogan and those action movies. Cycling scenes, not sure if in bibs as well. Also some good other kids actors (none in bibs known).

Also starring Matthew McCurley ("Little Giants"), Maurice Woods and Lesley-Anne Down. Rated PG and a very low IMDb rating. of 2.9.

I can't say much more yet. Bibs are OK.

Rating 5-6 for now.
I choose a different longer clip to embed, also showing her back. (deleted on YouTube).

Update: Even more scenes than assumed. Pics at 59 minutes. Pic 1 also appearing in the trailer. Also a nice scene of a boy sitting in jeans at 14 minutes (not bibs).

Pets (1999)

Family film, written by Christopher Atkins
-Year: 1999 / 2002
-Year in film: 1990s ?
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Peter ~ 11 yo ?
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: medium+
-Rating: 6/10 ?
-Rating: ******
-Comment: At least Josh Grolman about 10 or 11 yo in light blue bibs throughout the complete movie (pictured).

From my rare movie list; pic taken from the dungareemovies blog. Thanks again Felix! (He rated 8.) Film aka "Pets to the Rescue", IMDb says (then) Pets (2002) probably the wide release. I think I even have seen this movie, but can't remember. Probably a good children's movie. Directed by David Lister "The Last Leprechaun" (girl in bibs, boy not in bibs, rating 3), written by famous Christopher Atkins ("The Blue Lagoon"). Looks like farm content. But maybe a typical animal movie.

I can't rate any higher than 5-6 for now unless I have seen and checked it completey. I prefer darker bibs. But could be worse. I think I wouldn't buy it.

Damn, I recently missed Disney's "Safety Patrol" (rating 7+), boys and girl in bibs and at least boys in thin orange coveralls.  I think I would buy this but I will wait for the next broadcasting (Not available on DVD anyway). No clips for both movies.

Update with 3 more pics

Dance Flick

Comedy / musical film starring Shoshana Bush
-Year: 2009
-Year in film: 2000s ?
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Megan ~ 20 yo ?
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: low ??
-Rating:  5/10 ?

-Comment: At least a young woman,  looks like Shoshana Bush in dark blue bibs (pictured). Probably Carhartt brand (thanks Anonymous for the comment). One other pic

http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2110687232/tt1153706

Looks good. Bibs appear lighter outside (so not raw denim). They are also rather tight and she is quite thin.

Yet another one from the "chicks list". I don't know this complete movie and don't like musicals and dancing in movies. (Very low IMDb rating 3.3). Also starring Damon Wayans, Kim Wayans, Christina Murphy and Essence Atkins. Rating PG-13.

For bib scenes rating 5-6 for now. Don't know the amount and quality of bibs scenes.

Info 179: Update Gunsmoke

~14 yo Lance Kerwin in medium brown bibs as Tommy. Not sure about the episode pictured, but must be the 1975 ep. s20e17 "The Fires of Ignorance". Is there any other episode with him?  I already have an entry about Gunsmoke (starring Clay O'Brien in light blue bibs in season 18, rating 9) and I also have an entry starring Lance Kerwin (The Family Holvak (rating 10, jeans bibs)).

More and more seasons had been released (season 7 coming soon.) I'm waiting for the later seasons which I will probably buy.

I prefer jeans bibs but Lance Kerwin is a very handsome child actor (and blue jeans bibs are very rare in 1900s Western movies and series). He also appeared in LHOTP and some late 70s/early 80s ABC Afterschool Specials and similar series which more episodes in bibs (I think not Kerwin, see also my rare list and Robbers, Rooftops and Witches (CBS Library) , rating 10).

The clip "Spanking in Gunsmoke" where this pic is from had already been deleted on YouTube. No real spanking was shown. There is also a boy in brown bibs in ep s20e16.

At least rating 8-9 for s20e17, rating 6-7 for s20e16. But I have to check more episodes of this series. (No more new infos/pics at the main entry yet).

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman

TV series, 87 episodes in 4 seasons
-Year: 1993-1997
-Year in film: 1993
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Amy ~12 yo
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurence: very low ?
-Rating:  3/10 ?
-Rating: ***
-Comment: At least an 11 or 12 yo girl, I think it's Courtney Peldon (pictured, must be the blond girl) in light blue bibs in ep s1e8 "Smart Kids". Sorry no better pics yet. (IMdb says s1e7).

First I thought that's the other girl with darker hair  (must be Emily Ann Lloyd). And I also saw a pic of Scoot McAfee in a Superman wiki which first looks to me if also wearing bibs, but probably he didn't. It's just a blue patch in his jacket. The fourth kid is Jonathan Hernandez. Starring Dean Cain as Superman and Teri Hatcher as Lois.

I don't know/don't remember this series. Usally I don't like those actions series/movies and prefer the classic ones.

Rating 3-4 for now. And I have to check this and the other episodes completely. No bibs scenes in this clip but at least showing this episode and all of the 4 smart kids.

Update: Amy wore skirtalls. Brief scene at 13 min. I first had a different pic buit that were straps of a backpack.
