One other pic on IMDb (b&w). As announced one of the last posts from the chicks list.

As usual I can't say much more about it.

Rating 3-4 for now.

Family Ties (1982)

Sitcom starring Michael J. Fox
–Year: 1982-1989
–Year in film: 1980s
–Country: USA
–Who in bibs: Jennifer ~11-14, Andy 6-8, Ellen ~24
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: no
–Bib occurrence: low+ ?
–Rating: 6/10 ?
–Rating: ******
–Comment: Tina Yothers in blue and beige bibs(pic below from s1e16), also as older teen girl, at least in dark blue bibs (like in s4e13, see pic on IMDb), and Brian Bonsall (introduced in season 5, here pictured in s7e3 (1988) in blue bibs).

How could I miss that? I found it by coincidence. I never used to watch sitcoms, except for some very few like Growing Pains and of course Home Improvement. If there are no interesting boys in the early season it's possible that I miss them.

I like Brian Bonsall but he's still very young here. I haven't checked all episodes.

Jennifer's straps for the beige bibs are rainbow colored (long straps till the bottom).

Rating 5-6 for now. I assume few (good) bibs scenes.

Update: Also found a lady Tracy Pollan. Brian Bonsall also in red bibs

–Comment: Sarah Rose Karr in hickory striped bibs (confirmed full length) and obviously non-hickory striped shortalls as well (but she appears younger there, maybe this is a publicity pic from film #1).

How could I miss it. I previously have part 3 and part4.

Also a very handsome boy in a green shirt (not film brother Ted) but not in bibs.

Quite good movie but the girl is very young.

Rating 3.

Thanks again very much db1 for this suggestion.

This episode is a "flashback" set in 1962 or should appear as such. So obviously very few scenes with him. Funny Dennis (or Alfalfa) spiked hair.

I have to check for episodes of the teen girl. And also of the boy. Unfortunately the clips on YouTube are in bad quality.

Rating 6-7 for now. I like blond hair (but not slicked) and raw denim bibs. He's handsome. But I think rating 6 only.

Please also note my previous entry.

Update: Natalie in s5e6, hickory striped with dark blue legs, also in turqouise bibs. And 11 yo black girl Kim Fields in bibs in s2e7/8

Gülcan und Collien ziehen aufs Land

Both city chicks Gülcan Kamps and Collien Fernandes in dark blue non-jeans farm bibs and different rubber boots (yellow and dark) doing farm work. I don't have screenshots of that but there are pics and maybe clips on the web.

I recently made an entry on my Lederhosen blog (boys rating 5).

I don't like at all these ladies. I also assume few bibs scenes maybe in one episode only.

Va voir maman, papa travaille

Comedy film
–Year: 1978
–Year in film: 1977
–Country: France
–Who in bibs: Jerome 7
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: no
–Bib occurrence: often ?
–Rating: 5/10 ?
–Rating: *****
–Comment: Vladimir Andres as 7 yo, but older looking here, Jerome in dark blue and hickory stripes bibs. Some good scenes, like being tied to a tree, but personally I don't like him.

Thanks again Felix for this suggestion and pics. Some more pics at the comment of Le fils du requin (maybe someone haven't read that comment on a girl's entry).

I still haven't found any clips. The DVD has recently been released. So we have to wait. There are other new, similar DVD releases of classics (Gaument à la demande, red DVD cover) like Trodadéro bleu citron (rating 4, boy 10 yo) and maybe more of interest.

French movies are often good, but I don't like curly hair and don't like hickory stripes.

I can't say much more yet until I have seen at least some clips.

Novel by Francoise Dorin. English title: "Your Turn, My Turn".

Rating 5 for now only.

Story 103: Webfinds historical farm boys and girl

I don't have time for that but I found some new vintage pics. I wonder how I could miss them by searching all 10.000s pics on loc.gov. 15 new pics (last ones on my FSA-OWI album on Picasa). Even one girl in bibs (or is this a boy on pic 4?). Mainly sharecroppers or sons from sharecroppers or similar. Some barefoot. Pic 1 is a segment from a 74 MB image (I also have the regular lower resolution).

Picasa links are now defunct. Please use the PD album (loc.gov) links on my blogroll.

Update 7/2023 pic 1 re-uploaded. The top pics on wordpress, I had uploaded there and not embedded.

Papa Poule

Comedy series. 12 episodes
–Year: 1980-1982
–Year in film: 1980s
–Country: France
–Who in bibs: girl~ 9 ?
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: no
–Bib occurence: low ?
–Rating: 4/10
–Rating: ****
–Comment: At least a longhaired kid, I think a girl (probably Suzanne Legrand) in tight dark blue bibs with long overlapping straps. Pic from s1e4 at 45 minutes.

During research for "Va voir maman, papa travaille" (I couldn't find any clips but will soon make a post) I found this series on YouTube. 2 seasons, each episode 55 minutes. Aka "Les Aventures de Papa Poule". Directed by Roger Kahane ("L'Instit").

I haven't checked all episodes. But I assume few bibs scenes. Some other scenes of interest. There's also a brother. 2 sisters also sharing a bathtub.

Rating 3-4 for now.

Update 2: My Dog Shep (2015 better quality release)

 

I bought my 2nd DVD of this 1946 Public Domain movie starring 12 yo Lanny Rees (rating 7). I wasn't sure if it really has the much better image quality as seen on the trailer. But luckily it has. Although it's not perfect like remastered 60s movies like To Kill A Mockingbird.

The newer RC0 DVD is pressed and not a DVDr and even has optional subtitles. The new 2015 release from VCI Entertainment is a double feature and has the sequel "Shep Comes Home" (which is not PD). I haven't seen that yet. Same dog but different boy. Probably no bibs.

The 2012 DVD from Alpha Video (oldies.com) has a poor image quality with many scatches and abrasion stripes. It has a different resolution 720x540 px but obviously upscaled and parts on the left and right are missing. The new VCI version  has a smaller resolution but showing more (pics 1+2 are complete frames) and obviously derives from a different or even several sources. 660x480 px (the black borders removed).

I made some more comparison pics. Left one, new DVD, right old DVD. 3rd one is the streaming archive.org film which is even much worse However there are still limitations especially in backlight or shadow, so some parts are quite dark. Others are lighter like the white shirt and faces but still has a better contrast. Note that there are also other single and compilation DVD releases (with probably poor quality).

The 1st pic below is a 200 % magnified section, both from their lowest left position (click for higher resolution). One more new pic on the main entry.

Hider in the House (1989)

Thriller starring Gary Busey
–Year: 1989
–Year in film: 1980s
–Country: USA
–Who in bibs: Holly ~7, girl ~13
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: yes, partly TV recording
–Bib occurence: low ?
–Rating: 3/10 *
–Rating: ***
–Comment: A very young girl, probably 7-8 yo Candace Hutson (but looking even younger) in light blue patterned and dark blue bibs. Also a blond girl (supporting actress ?) around 12 or 13 in dark blue, tight bibs with white bleaching parts (front + rear view). Also boys in very good tight 80s jeans; good fighting scene while the girl in pic 1 is walking away (rear view).

Film #3 I found on my PVR.

The young girl is too young and I think only few scenes of the older girl, so rating 3-4 for bibs scenes only. I don't remember the complete film and only have a 20 minutes clip on my HDD.

I like the movie and the boys in tight jeans and 80s haircut. Rating 6-7 for that.
