Today's Links
My father has been going through a nostalgia binge for the serials he watched as a kid - Dick Tracy, Captain Marvel, Buck Rogers, etc... Which got me thinking about the 'serials' I watched as a kid on Saturday Morning teevee. A number of them were quite similar (even in relative production quality!) to dad's shows - Wonder Woman, The Six Million Dollar Man, The Bionic Woman, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century ... but two of my real favourites were Shazam! and Isis. Featuring live action and morals spoken to the camera at the end of each episode, both shows were filled with the kind of whiz-bang goodness seemingly telegraphed directly from the pages of a comic book. With the power of the Internet, I was able to find some linky goodness to Shazam and Isis online: Isis, Isis, Shazam!, Shazam!, -- and here's a key to the television schedules of the 70's and 80's. - and another.
Awesome photo essay of the Spaceship graveyard in Baikonur, Kazakhstan - and an article to go with it.
