This show really is something special.  I tried watching newer ones, but none have quite captured my attention like this series.

Marvel's Man from Atlantis (1978)

I quite enjoyed this series.  I watched the entire run (I think), all four movies and 13 episodes.  I haven't seen them since 1978, though I watched bits and pieces of the show when it aired on Sci-Fi (I am pretty sure) back in the 90s.  They sure were desperate for content back then, weren't they?  A few of the episodes got a bit silly toward the end, but we were still desperate for any genre content in the 70s.  This is probably the show that made me a fan of Victor Buono as well. 

823. Famous Japanese Monsters of Filmland zine review!

There isn't a lot to add to the vast amount of reviews for this magazine, but I did it anyway!

Villain of the Week- Killer Kane

 

From Wiki- In the comic strip, Kane was a dark-haired, mustachioed soldier. Kane first appeared in the January 30, 1929 comic strip.[3] He was romantically involved with Wilma Deering; however, after Wilma left him for Buck Rogers, Kane became a criminal and Buck's mortal enemy.[3] Kane carried out numerous criminal schemes and attempted to kill Buck on numerous occasions. Kane was often assisted by his girlfriend, Ardala Valmar.[2][3] Movie serial Kane is a "super-racketeer" who became the supreme dictator of Earth with the help of his criminal army. Although the events of the serial transpire in the year 2440, Kane has apparently ruled the world for some time before that. He was portrayed by actor Anthony Warde. On the 1979 television series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Kane is reimagined as a defector from Earth to the Draconian Realm, a powerful empire said to have conquered three quarters of the known universe. Known simply as "Kane" in this version, he is the supreme commander of the Draconian forces under Emperor Draco. While the original Killer Kane was the absolute leader, on the television series, Kane answers to Draco and (grudgingly) his daughter Princess Ardala, who acts as Draco's emissary (although Princess Ardala did not appear in the 1939 serial). In this version, Ardala is a Princess (which she was not in the original comic strips) who also commands Kane (in the comics, it was Ardala who was Kane's subordinate).[3]  Back to me:

Garden Party by Ricky Nelson 1972

This song was a huge hit for Ricky Nelson, but at the time it came out I had no idea who he was.  It was overplayed, and I didn't have a clue what he was singing about at the time.
