    Description

    2 vintage scripts from the classic television series,
    ALL IN THE FAMILY
    .  These come from the estate of one of the producers Michael Ross (AKA Mickey Ross) Here are 2 scripts that were saved, from the same episode :The First Draft and Final Draft.
    Michael Ross worked on the series with Don Nicholl and Bernie West, during the first five seasons. (
    They
    won an Emmy for the episode
    The
    Bunkers and the Swingers"). Nicholl, Ross & West went on to produce
    THE JEFFERSONS
    for the first 3 seasons, then on to
    THREE'S COMPANY
    for its entire 8 season run.  Mr. Ross passed away in 2009. This is one set of several episodes of scripts I have/will have for auction on Ebay. Shown are a few of the pages from both versions of the 2 scripts. The First Draft has a blue cover and the Final has a yellow cover. That was the way most of the Norman Lear shows were done in the 1970s.   On the rare occasion there was a revised first draft, it (usually) had a pink cover with white pages. Revised pages were (usually) yellow, pink, blue and green, in that order.  These early scripts were a bit different. And these particular scripts have some various revised pages in the Final Draft scripts. Some pages are "mimeographed".  This episode "The Insurance is Canceled", was in Season 2, episode 10, and aired November 27,1971. Synopsis: At the same time Archie is told to lay off part of his crew at work, he gets a notice informing him that his homeowner's insurance has been canceled.
    Scripts are complete- no missing pages - and even include their rusted paper clips, which were used until the more common brad "buttons" took over. Pages that were replaced are included.  (You can see the rust marks on the script covers and back pages)There are various write-in changes from Mr. Ross.  Nice to have both of the versions to see how the dialogue changed over the week. Scripts are in remarkably nice shape, especially considering they're over 48 years old!  Some handling, as
    you can see. No rights are given or implied with this auction. It is being sold from collector to collector. A nice authentic/vintage piece of television history.   Buyer pays to ship by Priority Mail with Tracking or FedEx Ground or FedEx Home, domestically.  Thanks!
