Did he just punch Jhiaxus’ top half from his bottom half?

For some reason Sid and Marty Krofft’s adventure shows were hit hard by their limited budgets. However, while Land Of The Lost made it work well enough to be well-received today and even spawned a excellent return in the 90s (we’ll just ignore the Will Ferrel movie), the adventures of the lady crimefighters were definitely hurt by what it had to work with. While I won’t be as harsh to it as my fellow Reviewers Unknown refugee, Rowdy C, was, it’s not exactly on my must-watch list of superhero shows either.
(Speaking of Rowdy, I’m waiting for him to take a look at that horrible unsold pilot. If you haven’t seen it I envy you. Actually, I didn’t make it through the whole thing, and I can put up with a lot.)
Legendary Pictures has a digital arm and they’ve decided to bring Electra Woman and Dyna Girl back to the world. I’m not sure they understand the source material. Kind of like that pilot.
Preparing for the fashion show.

We always think the BBC’s plot to destroy Doctor Who (which was stupid given it was their longest-running show and an international hit) happened in the last few years of the show, with people in charge who hated science fiction. But the TARDIS and her crew were in trouble from day one…at least according to formers Who director Waris Hussein. In a 2012 interview with IO9‘s Charlie Jane Anders, Hussein talks about the BBC’s attempts to limit the show, the forced pilot rework (which Hussein was upset by but I think was actually a good move) and horrible gossip about producer Verity Lambert while the Executive Producer thought the creative team was too young to be working on it. If all this is true it’s a wonder the show survived long enough to be cancelled.
But is he a ninja?

The Fine Brothers’ “Kids React” series has kids looking at tech from when I was a kid and sometimes even younger. In this installment, the kids are trying to figure out how to put a VHS tape in a VCR. You will either laugh at their failings, feel old, or both.
Second cover and I’m stuck for a (bad) joke.
