Return of the Saint
Looks like Simon Templar's coming back to television. The Saint was one of my dad's favorite book series as a kid and I sort of fell in love with him too thanks to George Sanders and Val Kilmer. (Via.)

Happy Frankenstein Day
Today was the anniversary of the day Frankenstein was first published in 1818. It was published anonymously, but Mary Shelley revised the book and republished it under her own name in 1823. It was first staged as a play in London that same year.

The Saint? Cool!
I loved the Saint as a kid. I was raised on French dubs of shows like this and Time Tunnel and Mission Impossible and Space 1999 (or in French: Cosmos 1999), and of course the two Bionic shows...
But can new versions capture their former glory?
Wow, I haven't thought about Space 1999 in ages. I wonder how it would hold up today.
Apparently, it holds up badly.
Apparently.
But dontcha love that rockin' music?
And I know Maya the shape-shifter was a case of jumping the shark, but she was my favorite thing about the show as a kid. That and the fact the same married couple operated on Mission Impossible.
