Ive lost track of the time. My children have actually popped in and asked : "How many episodes are in this crazy show. dad?" My younger son thinks Barnabas is like Dr. Who because of all the time travel. Show is loads of fun,lol.

Watching Season One of The Beverly Hillbillies.  Forgot how funny this show was.

When the jokes were fresh (into Season 4? 5?) it was funny.  I was watching the "trips to England" episodes and the first two are splendid (with Alan Napier 'giving Granny' sonnets) but some of the jokes became tiresome in the Season 5 and 6 opening episodes. 

It's disheartening that the copyright owners haven't followed up and released the entire series.  This makes me wonder if the rightsholders didn't get fragmented by season-groupings and thus an entire-series release is more difficult. 

The series original fanbase is pushing 70 now, and if they delay this another decade, the 'natural consumers' of this and many other series will be going or gone.

We tried to tolerate this new X-Files miniseries but the Alien Pincushion Girl's mindreading simply wasn't provocative enough.

The Flash Gordon serials. At least one every night before bed. Almost finished with Flash Gordon's Trip To Mars.

Ford Beebe had a monstrous career - writing and directing hundreds of films from 1915 on.  And so many of his directorial efforts were serials and serial-types - westerns with calvary charge rescues, spy thrillers, pirates & swashbucklers, cliffhangers and then some of the first sci-fi/rocketship/raygun portrayals. 

And Charles Middleton as one of the first super-villains, although he was basically doing the Rival King role with whatever minions the costumers could muster.

We've made it thru Flash and Buck Rogers, into Secret Agent X-9 but haven't quite made it into his Westerns yet. 

I've wondered where the cliffhanger concept started.  I've assumed "books" with one chapter ending and the next chapter starting but, somewhere in the early days of big-city newspapers, the comic-strip adventures started and then effectively storyboarded these tales into every other medium, ever after.  Buck Rogers showed up in 1928.  Flash, in 1934.  In between, there was 1931's Dick Tracy and who knows how many others. 

But the F/X of doing rocketship blast-off's, sliding those models on wires, with exhaust flames, and shaking cameras to mimic crashes and weapons-blasts, and the powder-exploding effects of ray-guns - they must have been adventures for technicians to create.

I've always wondered who the first folks were that offered up some of those techniques, and how their studio bosses reacted - "Shaking the camera and having the actors lean to the left, then jumpt to the right?  I dunno - sounds pretty simplistic - you think it'll work?"   And all these decades later, those ideas were having Kirk & Crew fall over sets and beyond.
