Did You Watch

 'Samurai Girl'

This Weekend?

She Was On The  ABC Family Channel!

We have blogged about several new TV Shows and Films that are upcoming the rest of this year.

We were able to see either previews or actual premieres of several of these, including the Season Premier of 'Heroes' at the 2008 SDCC San Diego Comic Con International.

One that neither Tina or I were able to see was the program on 'Samurai Girl'...

Tina was watching another set of programs, while I stood in line for the Samurai Girl program... to no avail!

You see, there were hundreds of others in line before me for that program, as con goers have learned to go to an earlier program to sit and be able to see the following program that they really want to see!

Thus it was for 'Samurai Girl' which had too small of a room for all that wanted to get in to see it.  Add to that fact, that the next program following had even more fans waiting to get in, and they were there early too!

So all I was able to do was to pick up a few of the 'Samurai Girl' temporary tatoos as my reminder of not being able to get in to see that program!

We have listed a few of them in our eBay Featured Store, now that the 'Samurai Girl' mini series debuted this past Friday Night and has run for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights!

If you didn't get to see all 6 episodes, you can still catch them on the ABC Family dot com web site.

But you can't pick up any tatoos there, LOL!

BTW, we don't have a TV Station here, but we do have an ongoing Comic Con  and Pop Culture convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale!

 She Was

 Seven Of Nine!

That's Jeri Ryan 

On Star Trek: Voyager!

This past weekend we went comic book store shopping to pick up more recent backstock.

One of the issues I kept coming across in various condition grades at one store was the Battlestar Galactica Issue #0 with a Tricia Helfer photo cover that was suitable for framing for collectors!

(Click here to see that blog post with photo.)

At the same time I admitted I hadn't kept up with Battlestar Galactica, although there have been several panels or programs at comic cons we have been to!

However, one other sci-fi show that I did keep up with was Star Trek Voyager, which in my mind had a great addition to the series with 'Seven of Nine' played by Jeri Ryan!

Matter of fact, it was because she was prominent in the early episodes of 'Shark' that I watched that show the first season it was on!

The new TV Season is upon us, but once again we are getting it in bits and drabs... some shows start this week, and others like 'Pushing Daisies' premeieres on October 1st!

Oh well, we have enough to blog about right now, that we won't be doing episodes reviews here this year!

So Why Didn't They Go To 'Nam?

From The 'Nam Comic Book Series

That is something that I always wondered about...

During WWII Captain America punched Adolph Hitler right in the nose, (Captain America #1).

The origin of Tony Stark was really started in Vietnam in 1963, (Iron Man #1 from 1963). Iron Man blasted his way out of there back to the USA. 

(FYI: The 2008 Iron Man film was retro'd to an Arab country to update him in the 2000's.)

"The 'Nam" comic book series was published by Marvel Comics from December 1986 to September 1993, lasting 84 issues.

The series was very realistic and drew a lot of attention during its' early print run, but then changes came in.

The creative staff was changed, and it was discussed about bringing in superheroes to increase sales on the then flagging sales in the early 1990's.

It was issue #41 that the special imaginary story of Captain America, Iron Man and the Mighty Thor was printed.

Later in issues #52 & 53 the "Punisher" appeared.

The "Punisher" later returned for a three issue arc from #67 - 69.

There were other Vietnam war comics published during this time, the 'Vietnam Journal' from another comics company is a highly sought after series that ended early.

The 'Nam was also published as a magazine series in a comic book graphic format but didn't last long.

Publishers will move on to the next genre if they find that one to be booming, i.e. monsters comics, Bad Girls Comics, HoRRoR comics, etc. have all seen their ups and downs since the 1930's when comics were first introduced.

So this war comics series and others, like "Semper 'Fi" from Marvel, although good reads, just didn't last...

BTW, we don't have a battlefield going on here, but we do have an ongoing Comic Con  and Pop Culture convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale!

Why Do Certain Archived Blog Posts Continue...

To See Daily Visits?

For a while I was blogging about our Top 10 Archived Blog Posts of the Day...

Tina suggested that I stop blogging about that, so I have knocked it off for a while.

But, there are a few archived blog posts of ours that see daily visits in steady numbers of visitors.

And they seem to go in cycles during the week, the month, and the quarter.

The archived blog post featuring Carolyn Jones as Wonder Woman's mother on the TV Show is one that is always being viewed each day in some number of views.

Currently that is the most viewed archived blog post this morning with 15% of our viewership!

Yet, as far as I can tell... there isn't any news on a Wonder Woman film update, nothing going on about Lynda Carter, and Carolyn has passed on years ago in 1983... So why the continual views?
