ALL SCI-FI

Robert (Butch) Day · Posted: Fri Jul 13, 2018 6:58 am Post subject: The Reused M-G-M Props

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. had access to everything stored at their parent studio, M-G-M Television, Inc.:

The mono logo lion, George"

The color logo lion, Tanner:

The Mad, Mad Tea Party Affair:

Bill Malone must have remembered wrong. He stated that he almost acquired the plastic educator. It looks as if it wasn't as complete as he was told!

The Cherry Blossom Affair:

The Maze Affair:

The Neptune Affair:

A Leading THRUSH Scientist, episode unknown:

A Leading THRUSH henchman, episode unknown:

The Bridge Of Lions Affair:

Sometimes one cannot get the correct screen capture! The eyes if the statue were blinking to rapidly! Can anyone identify which episode(s) the scientist and the henchman are from?

Thanks so much for posting this topic.

I always get a kick out of recognizing any prop on a TV show that I saw previously in a movie or other TV series.

Producer Irwin Allen would recycle props from one of his sci-fi TV series for another of his shows.

Gene Roddenberry did the same on ST:TOS.

As did Ivan Tors, recycling props between his 3 SF movies and SF Theatre, his TV series.

The gallery of images which Butch posted above is very impressive. And spotting the familiar props from movies and TV series is fun!

The prop below includes portions of two rifles from Forbidden Planet, along with other components I don't recognize.
