Oh...."Battle Of The Planets" was the best thing ever...I remember being
about 8, and this girl, Kelly Mulkey, getting a BOTP lunchbox...I was soooo
jealous I plotted her death....(never did it tho...my mother promised me a
Monkees lunch box if I spared her life...) Anyway...I found a lunchbox way
cooler than hers (about a month ago here in LA)....It just has Mark on the
front...the people at the store didn't even know what it was..they thought
it was Speed Racer. Score!

I've got some original Gatchaman videos as well as the tamed down American
translation that became Battle of The Planets. The new series makes me
ashamed to breathe air. They're all hip hopped out and 90's-fied. Yuk. OH
...speaking of the 70's...not sure if Brits ever had any of this....but
over the weekend I met the creators of HR Pufinstuf, The Land Of the Lost,
The Bugaloos, The Banana Splits....etc.....they complimented me on my Tinky
Winky backpack, and said they wish they would have done something like
that....*sigh* It was cool to meet and converse with the men who made the
monster...


grrrrrrrrr
