Re: Jameson Brewer.
Awesome recollection, The Other Jason. I'm so glad you and so many in the fandom had the opportunity to meet with him and that he had such a wonderful time doing so. I agree with BobKat - that image of Mr. Brewer and Mr. Ladd together is one for the (fandon and animation) history books! Their entire...

Re: Eagle Riders in the US
I don't think I ever watched it when it was originally on. I remember stumbling across an adaptation on one of the Turner stations at some point, got excited because I thought BotP was being re-broadcast, then realized it was most definitely not BotP (I vividly remember thinking to myself "thes...

Re: Jameson Brewer.
Yeah, Jameson Brewer's pretty significant for me, too. I was actually younger than BotP's target audience when it came out, but when Voltron came around, it hit me right in the demographic. It wasn't until The Other Jason pointed out to me that Brewer worked on both series that the lightbulb went of...

Re: WNEW The Affiliate that made a difference!
To tie in with your affiliates discussion - the Metromedia Square building, where Battle's first major sale apparently took place (and a supposed "protected" LA landmark), was torn down a few years ago. That's so disheartening - another piece of history gone. Interesting installation on t...

Re: WNEW The Affiliate that made a difference!
Wow! I just went back more years than I want to admit to! I don't remember the visual of the promo, but the jingle was in the deep recesses of my mind. WNEW was a great independent station. They had such a variety of programs and programming. And the cartoons they showed...some of my favorite ones (...

Oh goodness! I think I may have to get these...
I like that they included the weapons - and that Joe has both his cable gun and feather shuriken! That was a nice touch.

Re: Gatchaman and more no longer on HiDive
Well, yeah... there was that. "Happy Boy" sure didn't leave many fans feeling that way. :-) I think there actually was some audible coughing when that name was revealed at the Comic-Con! Be thankful Saban didn't use some of their earlier options. The only one I remember off-hand was "...

Re: First Impressions
Hi Psycada! Have you gotten farther in the series? I'd love to jump in about some of the observations you've made so far, but don't want to spoil the second half/end of the series for you! I will say that you have some pretty interesting ideas that would lend to fanfic creation. Let us know how you'...
