THE AVENGERS
Not horror, but certainly an amazing blend of the sly, spy and sci-fi. In addition to future Bond gals Honor Blackman and Diana Rigg, we had Hammer favorites like Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing,...

Looks like COZI TV's 11pm weeknight showing is now into the Tara King season. It may be time to finally buy a digital converter box for my old SD TV that has a built-in VCR so I can record some of...

COZI's ep tonight was the one where Steed is hypnotized and keeps reliving the same day. Not a bad ep.On the Tara costume front: she ends the episode in a tight sweater and a short plaid kilt. Lots of...

Last night's COZI episode was "Fog". with Steed and Tara chasing a copycat Victorian-era murderer. Nice and creepy atmosphere, and Thorson wore a gorgeous red and black coat much of the episode....

Also, last night watched a HONEY WEST and part of an Honor Blackman ep ("Mandrake", I think it was). As I understand it, HW was created as an American answer to THE AVENGERS. Of course, the American...

Just heard that Patrick MacNee had died. Steed's umbrella has finally been stilled.

When people think of The Avengers, they usually think of Emma Peel or Cathy Gale. But what would've it been without Patrick Macnee? He was the only constant in an otherwise fluctuating show--something...

It was with great sadness I learned we lost Paddy Mac (as he was called...or was it Patty Mac?) yesterday. He was 93, so it was a good run. Everyone who posted that they met him at one time or another...

Yeah strange that, they were both at school together apparently and then to die so close to each other must be more than chance surely? RIP Patrick! JVH

From what I read, I can see why the play didn't last long. Macnee was right, The Avengers belongs exclusively to the small screen. That horrible '98 movie is more proof of that.

Just got the R2 Cathy Gale set this week. Waited 2 years for a decent price. Finally ordered it. Noticed it was 2 weeks past the last delivery estimate date. Queried the shipper. They immediately said...

Nice, Mac. How many Gale eps exist? I'd like to see the Thorson titles re-released in the USA. Last I saw, being OOP, they are too pricey. They pale to Mrs. Peel, but I wouldn't mind seeing those...

Looks like 26 episodes on my Gale set. I started with the Peel megaset and can say that the R2 Thorson set looks WAY better for clarity and colour. I'm not expecting the Gale episodes to look as good,...
