Australia seems like a frontier-style country with a Western flavor. When I think of the 1930's-1940's, I think of Europe and World War II along with the gangster era of Chicago during that time.
Didn't mean to short change the Australian members on the board, Miss Swing.
I live right here in Fayetteville, NC.
Swinggal commented there are 20 Australians on the board. I'm a bit surprise that so many Australians have a interest in the time period of the 1930's and 1940's.
I like Basil Rathbone myself. While the plots of some of the Sherlock Holmes movies of the 1940's were a bit to be desired, he was able to carry the movie with his performance as Holmes. Plus, he had great chemistry with Nigel Bruce who played Dr. Watson.
I'm building up a collection of James Bond and Tarzan books. Most are in paperback, but I do have a few in hardcover. Have all of the Ian Fleming novels except for Goldfinger, Dr. No, and Thunderball. Almost halfway done on my Tarzan collection.
Most newspaper comic strips are rather lame nowadays. Most of the jokes are stale like a five-day piece of bread and the plots are rather dull. Man, I missed Calvin and Hobbes.
Here's my list...
I Love Lucy
The Andy Griffith Show
Bonanza
Star Trek
The Six Million Dollar Man
Happy Days
Knight Rider
Wonder Woman
Battlestar Galatica (the original)
The Cosby Show
If you look past the campiness of the show, "Batman" was more faithful to the comics at the time than the movies ever made by WB in the past twenty years or so.
