This is definitely one of those things that when you see it, you just go "Huh. Alright then." I never even heard of Man from Atlantis until like a year or two ago from a post on here. I just wonder if there's even a market for a book about an obscure TV show from the 70s?
ReplyDeleteOn the flip side, if this thing manages to become a seller, maybe it'll pave the way for similar books for other cancelled TV shows.
I see a pastiche, ala league of extraordinary gentlemen, of all cancelled tv show main characters uniting to . . . what? Seek revenge? Confront their creators? Just live, maybe. Let's cast it. Was "captain nice" 60s or 70s?
ReplyDeleteI was born in '73 and have fond memories of this show - although not its original run, but when it ran on a local channel as a Saturday afternoon show. I even had the original novelization of the first movie. I'll buy this book out of nostalgia, but I doubt it will sell well. (When i was a little kid I would tell anyone willing to listen that the people in Dallas just didn't know that Bobby Ewing was really the man from Atlantis.)
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to see a crossover of the all the 1970s semi-superheroes. Imagine a massive threat to the entire world, one that can only be overcome by the combined talents of the Six Million Dollar Man, the Man from Atlantis, the Gemini Man...
ReplyDeletevery good television series of my favorite when I was a kid! He viewed here in Greece around 1978 if I remember well with great success. Perfect in the role of Mark Harris, Patrick Duffy
