King Kong promo!
One of the cool things (and useful things) about the internet is finding promotional material for various movies and shows. It really helps with the published Xenorama- I can find all kinds of cool illustrations. The King Kong Show was premiered on night time television- back when the networks could air any show any time. This was pretty bold, but a great idea. It was two parts as well, which is also very unique for the time frame. My father may very well have watched it, which may be the reason my sainted mother knows the theme song. I do wish the entire series had been released on DVD, instead of just two volumes. I could live without Tom of T.H.U.M.B. though. More dinosaurs, giant apes, monsters and robots!

Batman: Caped Crusader 08 (and 4,6,7)
Just finished this 8th episode. And the series has kept my attention, even if I don't like everything they do with the various characters (Jim Corrigan of all policemen, really?) I do enjoy this version. This last episode had Batman going to a carnival looking for missing kids, at least three of whom were Robin variations. Dickie, Jace, Carrie and maybe this Steph. I dunno. I didn't know the "villain" in this episode, aside from Rupert Thorne. I still feel bad for Harvey, though.

HOTW- Golden Girl
From Wiki- Betsy Ross is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in Captain America Comics #1 (March 1941).[1] Betsy Ross is Captain America's early love interest and supporting character in American comic books published by Marvel Comics during the 1930-1940s period known to historians and collectors as the Golden Age of Comic Books. She then debuted as the superheroine Golden Girl in Captain America Comics #66 (April 1948). Immediately before and during most of World War II, Elizabeth (then known as Betty) Ross was a member of the U.S. Army's Women's Auxiliary Army Corps,
and had previously worked as a waitress and later an FBI agent. She
became a friend and eventual girlfriend of Army Private Steve Rogers,
unaware of his dual identity as Captain America, whom she admired and
who had saved her on more than one occasion. She was kind and
resourceful, but not especially strong at first. Betsy investigated
fortune tellers Sando and Omar and exposed them as spies. In issue #6
(Sept. 1941), she was captured by the Imperial Japanese spy known as Fang along with Bucky, but was rescued by Captain America. After the attack on Pearl Harbor and the United States' official entry into the war, she soon became involved in more missions that had her opposing Nazi
and Imperial Japanese forces. Over the course of the comics, Ross grows
into a tough and capable ally of Captain America and Bucky. Back to me:
