The Letter People (Videos, 1974-1976)

You can watch it all here. A documentary about the show is soon to be released.

(Tip: each item is a different upload of the whole thing; the third has one of the videos out of order below the rest, and the fourth is missing the first twenty episodes.)

Mister X always gets things all wrong, as you can see - and under him, those are Card People, not Letter People. Mister X's pictured design is his original 60's design, also pictured here (and also, here, which also has all the main songs - including the untelevised Q, R and X songs). As for the Card People, I'll get to their Letter People connection in a couple of days...

...If there is one rule in British TV series of the late 1960s to early 1980s, it is that if your series contains a character by the illustrious appellation of "Prince George", that character must

be of noble stock, and foreign(-ish) parentage.

be distinguishable from the rest of the cast by his fashionable attire of pastel colours garnished with the star of the Garter.

wear a blond wig of essentially period-appropriate, yet somehow irritating proportions and (suspected) powers; it is left for the viewer to decide whether the wig long ago devoured the Prince's brains, being a sentient creature in its own right, or whether it insulates the Prince's brain so well against matters beyond the tip of his own nose that he speaks ineloquently to the point of being perceived as being not quite the brightest candle on the royal wedding cake by all around him.

for the above reason be somewhat annoying at all times when he opens his mouth.

...And for every Prince George, there is a somewhat less tall, soberly-attired dark-haired man in a black coat who, though inferior by birth, manages to obtain a certain standing in the world by way of a ruthless personality and razor-sharp wit, whom Prince George can turn to and accept as the actual brains of the operation.

The First Churchills aired in 1969, the third season of Blackadder in 1983. If this is a coincidence, I will tell you for the affordable price of one of Baldrick's turnips. ;-)

The Many, MANY Intros Of Spider-Man> Still The Most Famous

BW Media Spotlight begins The Many, MANY Intros Of Spider-Man with the one that is Still The Most Famous

At first I was wondering “did I do the Disney Junior Spider-Man intro like I did for Batwheels and the Batman intros?” followed by “wait, did I ever cover the many Spider-Man intros?”. A quick check told me I didn’t. Guess what the next intro series is featuring. I didn’t catch the airing of the original Spider-Man cartoon in 1967 because I wasn’t born until 1973. However, there were reruns of…

The crazy part about AMC’s Daniel Molloy and Devil’s Minion is they can do just about anything with it. They’ve turned Daniel’s character from someone referred to as “The Boy” in IWTV to a fully fleshed out character. They did this with Louis, who many didn’t care for until AMC’s IWTV. They transformed Louis into one of the greatest characters on TV!

So Daniel Molloy isn’t a “boy” anymore per se, he’s lived a long life in between the first and second interviews. He’s had two marriages, kids, written several books, and seen so much success in his career. So what does this mean for Devil’s Minion?

Anne Rice all but wrote Daniel out of TVC after Queen of the Damned. Armand’s first and only fledgling just… gone. But Daniel is so essential to AMC’s IWTV now. I think most viewers would be sad if we didn’t see much of Daniel after Louis’ current story wraps up.

So from what we know about AMC’s Daniel, I’m hoping this changes the “after” drastically. Daniel doesn’t take well to being turned and is taken away to be cared for by Marius. Could you see our Daniel doing that? He’s gone through every bullshit life can throw at you at this point. Two divorces, kids that don’t talk to him, drug abuse, etc. I don’t think he’s that boy Anne Rice wrote about, at least not anymore. Maybe he was in 1970s San Francisco, but that’s not him anymore!

Old Man Daniel deserves better than to be stuck with Marius and frankly, so does Armand. I’m not saying the companionship has to be a perfect, happy ending but I’d like to see it more than what Anne ended up writing. And I gotta say, I do trust the team at AMC’s IWTV to do something great.

genuinely bonkers watching movies from the 1970s and 80s and like. all the kids have different hair and hair textures, people have freckles and moles

no one has been put through the kardashian factory and sprayed with paint and had their hair straightened and their faces fucked

like god, watching carrie (1976) and seeing all the different curly hair makes me want to fucking weep, bc it's so rare to see like. people's nice curls and curly hair styles unless it's Black chars on a Black directed/produced show

like do you ever just forget how evil capitalism is in terms of stuff like. people's hair and skin that you see on tv and even that you see IRL until you watch smth from the 70s or 80s and you're like. fucking HELL bc the contrast is so extreme
