Feb 3 11 4:21 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Ahhhh... my set just arrived today. Think I'll make the show part of my regular late-Sunday-morning routine, just before a Charlie Chan/Sherlock Holmes/Abbott & Costello flick. "I say ALL you scientists are CRACKPOTS! Nothing is going to happen..." My current damage at DVD Aficionado See some of my artwork at My ComicSpace page I'm a sometimes-contributor to the "Limerwrecks" blog (I post there as "Backthrow")

I'll have to re-visit that episode. Do you remember what scene they're in or what type of characters they are playing (where you can get a good look at them)? I can't recall the premise of that one.

But now anybody watching -- and perhaps putting the credits info in a book or on IMDb or wherever -- will now have the wrong director, the wrong writer, pretty much the wrong everything behind-the-scenes. Tsk-tsk! I'd much rather see NO end credits on the end of an episode, than a different episode's.

Feb 14 11 12:38 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I watched the SOLDIERS in no particular order, and crossed the finish line tonight with the voodoo story "Drums of Far Island" -- written by Lawrence (ZOMBIES ON BROADWAY) Kimble, and SPOILERS featuring a plot twist that makes me think that, during Kimble's early '40s stint at RKO, he must have seen I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE. Two thumbs up for this great series.

Feb 14 11 2:25 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	One that I recall, because I just saw it, is "Aloha Means Goodbye." A copy I got from you years ago, in order to send it to Joyce Holden who's IN it, had the correct credits. The #1 culprit when it comes to this situation is Warners' JONNY QUEST DVDs: To save time or money or SOMEthing, they put one episode's end credits at the end of EVERY episode.

Feb 14 11 2:56 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	That's insane. Can you imagine if you worked on the show and they stripped your credits away? Joyce Holden is in STATE TROOPER and possibly in one more SOLDIERS. What a doll. Should I post the "Aloha" credits here or are they on IMDb correctly?

Feb 14 11 5:54 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	They're on IMDb correctly now -- I added them a couple years ago, when that Joyce Holden episode passed through my hands. But soon, I'm sure, some well-meaning soul will delete them and add all the incorrect names because of Timeless' antics.

Someone waaaaaay back asked for caps--better late than never. From three random episodes. The CU of Toubo is from one of the better quality prints. But, hell, like I said--all watchable.

EVERY time I've tried to do an 'organized viewing schedule' of any kind, somehow it all gets blown to hell fairly quickly. No discipline, I guess.

I only just heard of this show yesterday on a pulp forum where someone described it as being a bit like Doc Savage. So looking up this thread reassured me this will probably be a pretty darn cool show. I'm totally looking forward to it! -Shonokin The Pulp Reader

Apr 6 11 8:55 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I was reading a Tim Holt biography and it is mentioned that, Holt and Charles Bronson appeared in a pilot, that eventually turned into the SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE series. The pilot was shown as a 1954 episode of THE SCHLITZ PLAYHOUSE OF THE STARS and was called "Adventure In Java". Tim Holt was 'Tim Kelly' and Charles Bronson was 'Toubo Smith'.

Wow, that's pretty cool info. The mind boggles at how that would have turned out! Cheers! Links To All The Classic Monster Stills I've Posted: http://monsterkidclassichorrorforum.yuku.com/topic/30758
