I wasn't buying any DC at all at that point, I don't think, but I remember that cover. Most likely I saw it at a friend's house, but probably also at the store or at a convention. Not surprising that the Deadliest Man Alive would be Type A. You go, Comrades. :beer: Super groovy! They didn't...

Yeah, like I said, straightforward adventure, but fun-- I mean, it was the Planet of the Apes! :rommie: Makes me wonder why they keep sending them. Were there so many flights that a few detours to a post-Apocalyptic future were considered acceptable losses? :rommie: :angel: And yet he's in...

Alas, POTA, we hardly knew ye. Both POTA and Night Stalker, which premiered on the same night, died premature deaths. I'm much more invested in Night Stalker, but it would have been nice to see this show continue for a while. That's a very specific location. It would have been better if he...

Nice. Whodunit? There are far better reasons than that to be cynical. :rommie: Come on, boys, open up those wallets. Ah, the long-awaited Adam-12/Twilight Zone crossover! This was worth getting into a firefight with the cops? Sell your gun, that'll get you a few bucks. :rommie: You'd...

Now there's an idea. I saw it originally at the dollar theater in Columbian Square, and then on TV, and a few times since then on tape or DVD. They were probably trying to have it both ways, like the original movie did-- the novel dates back to the early 1800s, but the Universal adaptation has...

I'm a baaaad boy. Okay, that rings a bell. DEVO sure did. I never saw it, but I have a vague recollection of both it and Dragnet being revived briefly. They may have been syndicated as a package, but I'm not sure.

It's a trap! I remember this one. I don't think I even noticed that Archie was MIA. I definitely remember that part. :rommie: I don't think 70s television was ready for that. :rommie: One of the strengths of this show was that it didn't really spare anybody-- everybody had their flaws and...

Needs more whips! Just kidding, this is a good instrumental. Yeah, reality outpaced those charges. In an alternate reality, they tried to kidnap her and the chimps rose up and rescued her, killing all the rebels in the process. This led to a very different Planet of the Apes. Paving the way...

How'd the other team get uniforms? Is the Happy Days Gang supposed to be from the wrong side of the tracks or something? The Cunninghams seem fairly affluent. Don't these local teams usually get funds by hooking up with a local business? Doesn't Howard Cunningham own a local business...

Maybe they were already assuming the cancellation was a given, so they had already mentally checked out, like that last week of school before Summer vacation. They would have needed to change the title sequence every week, like Mission: Impossible. Both that episode and this one seemed...

I think it's amazing that they went through the trouble and expense of filming two extra episodes after the season had concluded. I wonder if those episodes are considered part of season 7 or if they're a 21st-century-style season 8. :rommie: Different partners would have been interesting, but...

Definitely not their best, but just their popularity would propel it up the chart to a degree. This was such a great book, and consistently for at least a couple of years. It was Roy Thomas and Frank Robbins both doing what they do best and at the top of their game.

Interesting. It actually says Trademarked, rather than Copyrighted, and Project Gutenberg considers the original stories in the Public Domain. Maybe that means whoever published them first forgot to Copyright them or somehow let the Copyright lapse. In those days, you had to actually register...

Well, the character is certainly completely different but the name is exactly the same. Could I create a character called King Conan if he was very different? What about Solomon Kane? I don't know, but it seems weird. Which was fine, because it meant the end of sending American kids off to die...

Not really a happy ending, though.... One of those professional athletes who was so famous that even I knew him. :rommie: Ah, the good old days of detente. "By doze!" :wah: A true American hero. And they think Cancel Culture is something new. But it went nowhere. Pun intended. Wait, was...

Plus it's weird that she believed him. True. Although it was research, so some Apes may want to develop human medicine. Probably. And they probably do it just to screw with the gorillas. :rommie: Oh, right. I was mixing up their names for a while. There was a standalone issue, which was a...

One thing about the Planet of the Apes, AirBNBs thrive. He's an illegal time immigrant. I'm with Galen. TMI. "I'm a married man," would have sufficed. :rommie: Not unreasonable. People from different time periods would have different immunities. Plus, Virdon and Burke are urbanites and the...

Yikes. Even Chachi was better than that. :rommie: I wonder when those MAD Mini-Posters started appearing. Probably not for a while. Sigh. Cool things that exist in an alternate universe. He's a complex dude under that leather jacket. :rommie: True. I wonder if he actually has his own car...

Nice. :rommie: No recollection whatsoever. When I think of Spike, I think of Snoopy's brother or the guy on Buffy. Cousin or nephew? Have we or will we ever meet a married sibling of Fonzie's? Kids grow up so fast these days. Was MAD even a magazine yet in the Happy Days time frame? It...

So many "Ladd" jokes back in the day. Ah, the irony. :rommie: It's Cheryl Ladd. She should give him a hall pass. :rommie: :D He's fading in and out.... Oh, I figured you'd know that one. Sigh. It even gave us the phrase "jump the shark." I did not. That's... actually appropriate...
