Steve Beverly interview with Tom Kennedy

I was just taking a look at the fourth and final part of Steve Beverly's interview with Tom Kennedy. If you scroll down to Tom talking about the 1975 revival of YDS! you'll find some interesting screengrabs. Gee, I wonder where he got them...

Steve's interview site

My You Don't Say site

Now I know there are a lot of Steve supporters who might defend him when members of this board criticize his writing, but even the Beverly backers have to agree that taking somebody else's work and using it on your site, without giving proper credit, and more importantly, without asking that person, is pretty damn inexcusable...

ESPECIALLY when you're a former broadcast journalist who currently teachers journalism to the next generation.

Now watch this..... Steve B will look at this post, and then immediately give you the proper credit for the photos, without acknowleding he made an error.

Chelsea Thrasher:
That's why I've both saved a copy of the Tom Interview webpage, as is right now, to my hard drive, down to every last graphic and typo, as well as taken a series of screengrabs of the IE window of the whole page.

And what REALLY gets my goat about all this, is that not only did he not give credit, he tried to cover his tracks by tinkering with the brightness on them, resizing one, and cropping the other (And, for the record, in 2 of the 3, you can tell they're the same, because everyone and everything are in the exact same spot.  The EXACT same spot.  As for the B&W one..what are the odds that 2 people would resize the same photograph to the EXACT same size.   Not that good huh.   And, not to mention that, as I recall, when I was converting that image for the game show utopia site (For those who didn't know, I do a lot of the grpahical and HTML work on it), the original looked a little green, until I used a filter in PSP7 to turn it to a true B&W.  And the photo on tvgs.net has no green to be found, yet is the same photo....hmm)

Not to change the subject, but... aw, screw it.  I'm gonna change the subject.

I was born about halfway through the run of \"You Don't Say\".  I have watched more than my fair share of game shows.  I've looked at tons of web sites and so forth.  That said, I never heard of \"YDS\".  Never heard it mentioned, never seen a clip of it (I know, all the tapes were probably destroyed), etc.

Was this show really as big a deal as Mr. Beverly suggests?

[Zinkin] Steve Beverly is Ken Van Hoosier!! [/Zinkin]

(Just kidding Dave, I don't want to be on Moroniaire, if it's still running)

Seriously, I knew those pics looked familiar. As I was reading that, I thought \"My God....has Beverly gone assclown?\" I think he has.
