All in the Family 2 Vintage 1971 Scripts "The Man in the Street" 1st & Final

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 revised pages are "mimeographed" in blue and pink.  This episode "The Man in the Street ", was in Season 2, episode 12, and aired December 4,1971. (However it aired as episode 11 of the season). Synopsis: Archie is eager to return home to watch his "Man on the Street" interview on the Evening News with Walter
Cronkite - but can't find a working television set .
Scripts are complete- no missing pages - and even include their rusted paper clips, which were used until the more common brad "buttons" took over.   (You can see the rust marks)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 49 years old!  Some handling and yellowing on some pages, 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 domestically, with insurance.  Thanks!
