I'm the #2 Benson fan just behind "Bensonfan"..:lol:
Anyone have any Benson collectibles? I have a best that says "Benson" on the back that would have been used by crew or cast members, a leather bound notebook that says "Benson" a vote for Benson 1984 button, numerous pics, a large Benson banner used in a TV station and an un-used admission ticket to the show, a slide and a card used for the station ID advertising "Benson channel 7.

Aaagh!! I'm jealous!! :p

I have a few nice photos--b&w and color, a couple of scripts. One is autographed by James Noble. I'd love to have something personal of the show, like something that was used on-camera. I started a thread about how I'd love to get one of those "Gatling For Governor" signs/posters. Let me know if you ever come across one of those! :D

And a very warm welcome to the boards! Hope you post here often because we try to have a lot of fun and the more the merrier! :wave:

I don't have any collectibles myself, but I am eagerly waiting and hoping for the Season 2 DVDs so we can discuss again!

HI Blink, yes i have a 1971 Plymouth Duster 340:wave:

Here is the address to the masion you can find it on google earth.

The exterior shots of the governor's mansion are actually of a private home located at 1365 South Oakland Ave. in Pasadena, California. The same house was used briefly in the 1993 movie The Beverly Hillbillies, and was more recently used 2006 in a U.S. television commercial for the RE/MAX real estate company.

I knew someone who had a 340 Demon onetime it was light and really fast, great little cars. ...Anyway back to Benson, I've got some promotional shots and autographs I'd like to share. I'll work on trying to figure out how to post them. :whistle:

If you figure it out before I do can you start a new thread with your photos? I wanted to start a "Benson Photo Thread" but not until I have something to post. :D
