All in the Family 2 Vintage 1971 Scripts "The Blockbuster" First & Final Drafts

Description

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.
These are from the estate from one of the executive producers, Michael Ross worked on the series with Don Nicholl and Bernie West, during the first five seasons. 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.  This episode "The Blockbuster", was in Season 2, episode 8, and aired November 13,1971.Synopsis:A corrupt real estate agent encourages Archie to sell his home for more than its market value.
Scripts are complete- no missing pages - and even with their rusted paper clips, which were used until the more common brad "buttons" took over. There is no Tag in the First Draft. Often, tags weren't written until the Final Draft.  The Final Draft doesn't have its original large clip, and was replaced by a smaller one. (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!
