Knight Rider Premieres September 24th!
Mood:  caffeinated
Topic: TV Shows

 

Knight Rider

Premieres September 24th On The NBC Channel!

 

We have already blogged about several new TV Shows and Films that are upcoming the rest of this year, that we either saw programs or premieres of at the San Diego Comic Con International in July 2008.

One of these is the upcoming 'Knight Rider' TV Show on NBC.

The reason for this blog post is because I take exception to the number given on the 'Expect-O-Meter Rating'  seen in the USA Today Weekend Edition.

The author of that article ranked this show very low with a '1' out of a possible '10' for expectations because NBC has only shown the earlier TV Movie, and teaser ads during the Olympics.

However, I saw the program and the trailer and the audience's great reaction to it at the Comic Con. The enthusiasm from the cast and from the new producer that was brought in was also very high and 'real'.

Actor Justin Bruening is the new Knight Rider, and his former girlfriend and new love interest is played by Deanna Russo.

What got me excited about the new TV Show is that the trailer that was shown is  much more promising than the origin story of the TV movie. There is a 'team' now backing up Knight Rider and KITT, not just a duo act!

Gary Scott Thompson, one of the new producers, was brought in after the TV Film was made, and I like his new vision for where the series is going.

However, the show is up against another show that we watch, 'Pushing Daisies' Wednesday nights at 8 PM, so one of these two shows will have to be taped to be viewed later!

So, with a new vision for the TV Show versus what was aired in the TV Movie, I am giving it an '7.75' on my expectation meter!

So, time will tell how the show fares... the show is up against 'Pushing Daisies', 'Bones', and 'New Adventures of Old Christine' among others.

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!

Did You Watch Samurai Girl This Weekend?
Mood:  quizzical
Topic: TV Shows

 

 

 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...
Mood:  a-ok
Topic: TV Shows

 

 

 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!

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!

I did enjoy watching Star Trek Voyager with Jeri Ryan as 'Seven of Nine' from 1997 - 2001... And enjoyed the Sci-Fi series even before she joined the crew of Star Trek Voyager!

So Why Didn't They Go To 'Nam?
Mood:  quizzical
Topic: Comic Book History

 

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!

TV Western Comics With Photo Covers
Mood:  a-ok
Topic: Comic Book History

 

TV Western Comics With Photo Covers...

 

I have just finished listing more Western Comics that we picked up last weekend.

Which reminded me that I had posted previously about a few TV Shows that also had a one-shot comic book, or a comic book series...several of those comics were from the publisher, Dell Comics.

For example: 'Roy Rogers Comics' series ran for 145 issues from January 1948 to September 1961.

Additionally Roy Roger's horse Trigger received his own title running for 17 issues from September 1951 to June 1955.

Other TV Western Shows were as follows:

Bonanza was published by Gold Key Comics.

Maverick had a short run from Dell.

The Lone Ranger lasted for many issues, and his horse Silver had a short series.

Wagon Train was popular!

Johnny Yuma, the Rebel had an issue.

Have Gun Will Travel had several issues.

Buffalo Bill Jr was printed by Dell Comics.

Adventures of Jim Bowie was published.

Cheyenne had a few issues.

Bat Masterson had an issue or two.

Colt.45 had a few issues.

The Cisco Kid had several issues. We recently visited Pancho's Ranch (Leo Carrillo Ranch in Carlsbad, CA). (Note: Click Here For 08-22-08 Update!)

Dale Evans was featured in her own comic, Queen of the West!

Davy Crockett, tho technically not a true 'western' had a few comics based on the Walt Disney TV show.

Gunsmoke, the longest running western on TV lasted several years on the comic books stands.

Even the dog, Rin Tin Tin, had its' own series!!

Sugarfoot, (anyone remember that show?) had its' own comic.

Tales of Wells Fargo had a few issues.

Tombstone Territory had a one-shot issue!

Texas Rangers had a few issues also.

Surprisingly this list could go on and on, it seems that whenever comic book publisher found a good seller, others in the industry would copy that genre and print some of their own!

Sounds like the TV industry today, with new shows copying 'Lost' and 'Heroes'!

If I missed listing your favorite TV Western and you believe it had at least one comic book issue devoted to it, feel free to list it below in your comments!

BTW, we don't have an OK Corral these parts, 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!
