36517	Space Camp	I was always interested in going to camp like that. I remember seeing advertisements for TV all the time. Unfortunately I never did go, most likely because my parents couldn't afford it.<div><br></div><div>Most of my summer camp experience was built around going to the local town run summer camp when it was being run during the summer. I only went for a few summers, and it wasn't really all that fun to be honest. It would probably make for a funny article to write one day.</div><div><br></div><div>You want to talk about sudden realizations too? As I was writing out this exact forum post, I just realized that it's been ten years since I was last at that summer camp.</div>	Rick Ace Rhodes	Jul 15, 2017
36516	RetroCon	Not an easy choice. I've known quite a few people who have gone the route of removing them all. Just a matter of overcoming the idea of it mentally.<br>	Vaporman87	Jul 15, 2017

36511	Underrated TV series	<span style="font-style: normal;"><blockquote rel="eddstarr"><b>eddstarr wrote :</b><br><i> <blockquote rel="Superman"><b>Superman wrote :</b><br><i><br> <span style="font-style: normal;">How about </span><i>Superman: The Animated Series</i>? It's not as short-lived as anything mentioned before in this thread, but the fact that it doesn't seem to get as much recognition or praise as <i>Batman: The Animated Series</i> makes it a bit underrated if you ask me. </i><b>-end quote</b></blockquote><br><div>Yep, I'm guilty as charged. </div><div><br></div><div>What a fascinating question. The only answer I can come up with is "Batman" was so good it rewrote the book on animated action series. Plus the TV landscape shifted when you account for the difference in release dates. </div><div><br></div><div>Think about 1992 versus 1996. </div><div><br></div><div>"Batman" cleared the decks in 1992 with wild acclaim from kids and adults alike. "Superman" arrived in 1996 after the animation tsunami was at its deepest and the audience had already "matured". Batman had already set the bar high and Superman didn't leap tall enough. </div><div><br></div><br> <div style="position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:75.0%"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hzqHDrBnrfk?ecver=2" width="480" height="360" frameborder="0" style="position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div> </i><b>-end quote</b></blockquote>That makes sense. While I'd say that both series were about equal in quality, </span><i>Batman: The Animated Series</i> was more groundbreaking.<div><br></div><blockquote rel="echidna64"><b>echidna64 wrote :</b><br><i style="font-size: 10pt;"><div style="display: inline !important;"><i style="font-size: 10pt;"><div style="display: inline !important;"><i style="font-size: 10pt;"><div style="display: inline !important;">I wish that they would do a period piece 1940's live action Superman movie</div></i></div></i></div></i><i><br></i><b>-end quote</b></blockquote><div><br></div>I would totally go for a movie like that, too.

I hope you take care of your dental health properly, I've known people who just decided to get a quick fix done and have had nothing but health problems since.	Rick Ace Rhodes	Jul 14, 2017

36508	Underrated TV series	It occurs to me as I look through this thread that "The Prisoner" and "Doctor Who" share something in common.<div><br></div><div>The Doctor's first episode was in 1963, but most Doctor Who fans know that the first Doctor really goes back ten years earlier, to 1953 and his name is "Quatermass".</div><div><br></div><div>In a similar fashion, "The Prisoner" didn't just appear out of thin air. Number 6 is the direct result of Patrick McGoohan's earlier series that made him an international star, "Danger Man".</div><div><br></div><div>Since the turn of the century, "Danger Man" fans have worked hard to make the show available online for future fans. </div><div><br></div><div>If you can stomach the black & white filming, lol, you might discover the origins of The Prisoner in the Danger Man episode called, "Colony Three"</div> <div style="position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:75.0%"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fuyKibyEydM?ecver=2" width="480" height="360" frameborder="0" style="position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>	eddstarr	Jul 14, 2017
