Center Neptune Control -

I was very young when Battle of the Planets captured my imagination - about 3 or 4 years old, maybe 5? I have vivid memories of (role) playing the characters with the boys at kindy (pre-school) - they never let me be Jason because I was a girl, so I had to be Princess! This would have been around 1...

I wanna discuss something. I want to get a clearer picture of the era BOTP was made from its fans. People nowadays have a very clear idea of what happened in the past. Hindsight is 20/20 and the history has been documented extensively. But I want to know of the personal memories of people who lived ...

I came here just to share this but I knew the Other Jason would beat me to it and I was right! God I wish Casey Kasem was here! This is epic!

I really want Me TV to air Gatchaman in some form.

OMG I THOUGHT HE DIED! I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE HIM WELL!

And I really missed you Other Jason. Talking to you is always fun so I felt sad that I didnt have news to comment on.

I wonder if its AMC Networks who I must adress in my "Lets get Gatchaman on TV Again" Campaign! I want to get either Battle Of The Planets or Gatchaman itself.

He's in heaven meeting his beloved brother Tatsuo and meeting up with Toru Ohira, Casey Casem and Janet Waldo.

Legends Never Die. RIP.

As of 1979, the show was running on 100 network affiliates during after-school hours. “For many American teens and young adults, this would be their first taste of Japanese pop,” wrote aut...

I was a cliche and boring cable kid, Nick, CN the usual. But what does make things interesting is that we South American kids had this unique to Argentina channel that also broadcast in Paraguay: Magic Kids, no G Force but it had most of the anime that put Toonami on the map. Also massive thank you,...

I love hearing the Other Jason talk so much I did this special thread just for him. How was life when CABLE was in its infancy, no Nickelodeon, No Cartoon Network AND MOST CERTAINLY no Disney Channel. How was tv for kids back then?

Hi Cure DragonEagle, I'm not sure I quite understand what you're asking. But, if it's strictly about over-the-air television, I don't think I can really add much. I grew up in an area of the US that adopted cable very early. The only times I can remember not having it was in my family's first house...
