Don't think of it as Pants not knowing how to use a Mac think of it as CGS vintage 2005. Hmm...reminds me of the tinny sound quality of the show in the 20's.

Exactly old school CGS w/o the dogs barking or "We are Sexy Bitches Yeah!"

Smallville is a shadow of its former self but it is my Superman drama and I will watch to its series finale. I like the trio of women on the show; smart blondes (Chloe), willing to dressup in almost anything to get a story (Lois) & bitchy redheads (Tess) in Smallvile (aka Metropolis at this point).

Oh wow. I loved playing with LOGO Turtle in grade school. Sure, there wasn't much you could make it do but it was fun seeing how long you could get it to loop the screen.

Anybody remember the old Apple 2E game Picadilli?

Dave Stevens earned his seat at the desk in the bullpen in the sky with The Rocketeer.
Looking at those pages again in the new HC made me feel equally happy and sad.
I guess I'll always feel that way about Dave's art from here on out.

When I was in grade school, OUR computers were in science fiction books!
I never touched a computer until I got out of college! True!
You've never learned until you got your lessons delivered by film strips and the vinyl records with the "beep".
Oh, I do miss the smell of a freshly dittoed or mimeographed page.

i believe you guys talked about American Born Chinese once...

If you guys want... I can send you my copy of Secret Identities (The first-ever graphic novel anthology of Asian American superhero stories is here!)

http://www.secretidentities.org/Site/Secre...s_Homepage.html

i m not usually a big fan of anthologies... but it's not bad

what ever happened to the asian Atom?

[luckymustard]

just started listening... hilarious intro!

but it's really not bad. half and half of the podcasts i listen to are very professional and rather amateurish, and the sound quality on this is actually in the middle.

great podcast guys!

[Marty Devine]

Best episode ending ever . . . what?

I fully expected to hear Bryan giving Pants the treatment Moe Howard style.
Now that would have been awesome.

On Jubillie and Cassandra Cain:

Jub is appearing in Nation X, apparently with her powers back, and Cass has kinda disappeared since Batgirl #1.

Very funny episode. I loved it just ended with no warning.Thanks for reading my e mail on the show. I really appreciate you taking the time to read and comment on it. Here's the the link to my blog that was mentioned. The Popular Culture Ph.D..

2nd missing the sound of the dogs!

[Devyn Rodriguez]

All you guys needed are "We are sexy bitches" and barking dogs and you guys have a totally retro episode.

Cass has kinda disappeared since Batgirl #1.

Isn't Dick, Cassandras adopted brother?

I liked her character. I think she could be used in an interesting way.

What's a cassette tape?

Adam, the "turtle" was a programming language called LOGO. It still exists, and is still a great way to learn programming.

LOGO Foundation

With StarLogo TNG you can do some super fancy 3d stuffs.

Please stop making me feel so old...I am gonna have to put you in a time out

[The Scream Man]

Thanx for playing the VM again guys Glad to hear u are still reading Legacy; Now try Knights of the Old republic

i dunno about cassie as Batgirl, i never read much of her. I did think turning her evil was stupid, and fixing her again in titans was a good move. That said i have been really enjoying the new Batigrl. It started slow, but by issue 4 really picked up, and i now find myself excited for issue 6 to hit.

Also: The New Atom made an appearance in Justice League: cry for Justice...Number 1 i think. but it was pretty brief. i think it'll be a shame if the character is tossed aside; His title was a lot of fun.

Another fine episode. Give Pants a break. I couldn't figure out how to use a Mac either.

Thanks you, Jamie, for giving me a reference point. These kids talking about computers in grade school in 1989 just make me shake my head. Good to hear you throw out a "flow chart" reference. Now excuse me, I'm going to go play some Astroids on my Atari and listen to some Go-Gos on my Walkman.

Regarding TV shows on DVD:
Agreed, we MUST get the 60s Batman on DVD. I disagree with the voice mail. HOLY BATMANIA is a great DVD for fans of the show. Essentially, this and Adam West's DVDs are your special features if the show ever makes it to DVD.

Jamie, I had the same experience with the Classic STAR TREK that you had with M*A*S*H with the cut bits. After seeing the cut reruns for years in the 1970s, it was a trip to see the extra scenes.

Adam, I too am glad TAXI Season 4 and 5 are out on DVD but those had some changes from the original shows. It isn't as bad as WKRP IN CINCINNATI with the music changes but there are some. Season 4: The episode were Alex and Elaine go to Europe, Billy Joel's song "Vienna" was removed. In another episode where Louie catches a mouse and sets it free at the end of the episode, they clipped it early to remove him from singing "Born Free". I haven't watched my Season 5 DVD yet but I'm curious about the episode with Jim and his father's funeral and their usage of Stevie Wonder's "You are the Sunshine of my Life".

Other changed shows: THE YOUNG INDIANA JONES CHRONICLES. Old Indy with the eye patch has been completely eradicated and many of the movies have different beginnings (Lucas tinkering again!). So I've decided to digitize my old tapes after all since there probably isn't a demand to have the original versions released. Gotta preserve the history!!

Regarding the guy with the comics manifesto, if it is good does NOT mean it will sell. NOVA and GUARDIANS are not selling like gangbusters for Marvel but they are some of its top books. And what you might think it great, others don't. It can be subjective. What is popular sells. Sometimes, if we are lucky, it is good too.
