I've been working down a list of such things and the Invaders is on there. Lots of ground to cover since most of these things are so old that most readers here have never even heard of them. My next was going to be The Travels of Jamie McPheeters (Kurt Russell!) but perchance I will look at The Invaders (which I used to watch religiously).
In the 1982 film _Poltergeist_, it is revealed that the character portrayed by JoBeth Williams is 32 years old, and she has a 16 year old daughter therein. I have personally known two people who were grandparents by age 30 so Jane Jetson will have to do better than that to impress me.
Great Heavens, Miss C., that wasn't even one of the scarier episodes. I was 11 when I saw The Zanti Misfits episode, and it was terrifying but not so much that I ran away from home. But I still think It Crawled Out of the Woodwork was the scariest of the bunch. That I recall anyway.
Sorry to hear of your childhood trauma but I knew there had to be some reason you took up blogging.
I think this episode was The Invisible Enemy, starring Adam West. It was scary at the time but today one sees that the creature was obviously a dummy and that the martian sand under which it lived was sawdust floating on water. See if this clip isn't it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIWCY3CvBio
Sounds familiar but if I have seen it before, it has been a long while. I haven't done Christmas specials since they canceled Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol (and the bastards still won't release it to YouTube). I'll have to check into it, thanks,.
J.R.R. Tolkien made revisions to The Lord of the Rings practically up to the end of his life and still didn't finish the job after nearly 20 years of continuous endeavor. The Hobbit, written by him over 80 years ago, is still an editorial mess.
I'm old enough to have watched these as a child and now the grandkids are getting introduced to what they would never otherwise know about. More coming!
Wow - has this game ever passed me by. Only ONE comics distributor now!?!?! Amazing, simply amazing. With returns no longer accepted, no wonder drug and dime stores quit carrying comics. What is this country coming to? Thanks for the comics clinic.
Well, retailers used to just tear off the tops of the front covers and return them to the distributors for credit. They would then just give away the rest of the comic. I used to have quite a few of those myself; has this practice since been discontinued?
We do have comic shops in this area, and so I guess that is where one has to go to buy comic books at retail. I don't know when drug and dine stores quit selling them.
No, I have seen the retail prices of current Marvel comics although I have long since quit buying them. Heh - and I was buying comics in my youth when they were still a dime. I have bought a few 'graphic novels' (such as Batman vs. Alien) over the last 10 years and they are Not Cheap.
