The original was my favorite…. the new ones just don’t have the same thought that the original had. Victoria Winters is not the same, and don’t get me stated about Barnabas (is that how it’s spelled?)
Yeah, Johnathan Frid (God bless his soul) was truly one-of-a-kind… and yes, that is
the correct spelling of Barnabas.
I miss such shows like The NBC Mystery Movie, which openings that bring on the nostalgia.
Columbo, Herc Ramesy, McMillian & Wife, Banachek, McCloud, and, (takes off his hat) The Rockford Files.
Man… no wonder DVDs of those shows are so special to those who love them.
I really wasn’t into Dark Shadows, I’d get home from school in time to watch the last 10 mins or so.
The one thing I do notice is that the current crop of writers & directors just don’t “get it”, they don’t get the tone or feeling of the early TV shows.
Very few current shows have quality writing. It’s not the actor’s fault that the show sucks!
Put the blame on the producers & network.
That is why I watch little current network TV. Mostly, whatever my mom has on when I walk into the front room.
My sisters brought over all their old VHS tapes when they went DVD, plus I have a large number of tapes & disks myself.
And all the copys my brother made of rental DVDs.
So mom has a lot to choose from when she wants to watch something.

For those of us who grew up in the late 1950s and early 1960s, there was only one Superman, George Reeves. For that generation, he simply was Superman and all those who followed weren’t. That is not to imply that Christopher Reeve (of three theatrical films), Dean Cain (of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman), Tom Welling (of Smallville), Brandon Routh (of Superman Returns) or even Henry Cavill in Man of Steel aren’t Superman. Each are good in their own particular way and define The Man of Tomorrow for their own particular generation. But for me, no matter who may play the part, George Reeves will be forever etched in my mind as the ultimate superhero.
As always, figure and prop set-up in Studio 2.3 with final render in Bryce 5.5. Full color render desaturated to black and white (just like I saw them in the early 1960s!) in Photoshop. Inclusion of signature and copyright notice is the only postwork. The color of the Captain’s Hair was darkened in Photoshop to more match the character. And, yes, I know that the head morph doesn’t look anything like George Reeves, but since we weren’t doing look-a-likes and I needed something sort of heroic, this seemed to fit the bill.

Ah cool .. I grew up in 80’s and I remember this one
And yes we do not have to do look alikes
All freebies are checked, all nicely visable, and there is a PhilC required item.. thou I am not sure about desaturating ... I will wait for musics input in that ( please do not yell at me )

being of that era (damn I feel old now) I remember watching it, not in reruns, George Reeves is still superman to me, the others did a good job, but like Dark Shadows, the remakes are just never as good. I did like Chris Reeves though.
Krissy, I would like to donate a few of my models to the winners. To the three top winners, I will donate my 60’s camper. All the doors and windows open and close, also the cabnets and drawers. To the two HMs I will donate my tomb. The doors open and the sarcophagus inside is a seperate object. The lid comes off it too. Perfect to use for the annual “Monster Mash Halloween Bash” , the October challenge.
here are some peeks.
Well, that’s a none too subtle plug…Hey, speaking of the October Challenge (probably my most favorite of the year) who’s free stuff are we using? I’m drawing a blank on what to do this month so I though maybe if I got a head start on next month it might clear me up a little to do this month. Sorry, but it’s the way I work…a real lack of focus…
After many PMs on who I should pick, I have decided to go with Francemi, in her honor. She deserves a big month. Robkelk wants to honor me in November (I had nothing to do with that). So Oct-Francemi, Nov- Music2u4u. I have reserved Dec. for our own Chohole. Her stuff suits the Christmas spirit quite well. That is the schedule.
I will be taking requests for next year. If you have someone, let me know. They must be a well known giver, and they must be a Daz mamber to qualify.

Many TV shows of the 50s were in B/W. So that is fine with me.
Speaking of TV shows, do you remember the show “The Dukes of Hazzard”? In the early 90s, I played bass for Tom Wopat (Luke Duke). At first I was very excited, but he turned out to be one of the biggest A-holes I have ever met. He was just mean spirited and very conceited. Who would have known!

Ah now you have upset me, that was one TV show we did used to watch, back in the day when we still had one of them funny TV sets. Love the theme song from the show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU6mPYFtF8E
