It Was The Early Edition!
This was more than just a 'cute' TV series that appealed to several million viewers while it ran from September 1996 to May of 2000.
It was an hour long TV Drama Series with a 'Sci-Fi' element about a Chicago native named 'Gary Hobson' who became a reluctant hero when his morning newspaper starting showing up with 'tomorrow’s headlines' today!
Gary was a commodities trader who was on a losing streak... losing his job, his home and his brilliant attorney wife!
He even thought that he was losing his mind when tomorrow’s newspaper mysteriously arrived today, giving him a disconcerting look into the future.
What would he do with tomorrow’s news? That was the big question at first!
While his best friend Chuck, (played by Fisher Stevens), saw the newspaper as a ticket to personal gain, Marissa (played by Shanesia Davis) convinced Gary that the “early edition” should be used to better peoples’ lives.
So each episode would go through what Gary should do or could do, due to receiving the 'early edition'.
It wasn't as 'corny' or as 'cutesy' as it the above sounds. It did however start to wear off for me near the end of the series, which was before all 90 episodes of the series aired.
For fans of this show or for those that never saw it, the First Season DVD was just released June 24th 2008!
We have an ongoing Comic Con and Pop Culture convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale!

(08-08-08 For update on Rose McGowan at SD Comic Con 2008 Click Here!)
Finally.... Red Sonja Is Coming!
Well it will be a wait... as it isn't scheduled to be released until 2010, but at least it is on track finally!
The big news this weekend was that Rose McGowan has finally found a script that she like enough to bring to director Robert Rodriguez!
Robert was a co-director of 'Grindhouse' and also of 'Planet Terror'.
Rose was the Planet Terror zombie slayer and is Robert's real-life leading lady.
Red Sonja (Sonya) was a creation of REH, (Robert E Howard), and was brought to Marvel Comics in the Bronze Age of Comic Books!
Red Sonja was brought to the Big Screen back in 1985 by Brigitte Nielsen.
Since then there have been a few false starts, but it looks like 2010 will see the debut of the new Red Sonja!
We have noticed a resurgence of Conan the Barbarian Comics from Marvel Comics that featured Red Sonja, so there have been several speculators out there already grabbing copies of her appearances while they are less expensive!
Additionally Red Sonja had three series of her own from Marvel and has had a recent Dynamite Comics series.
I for one will be looking forward to this upcoming film!

No, that's NOT Red Sonja... yet! Red Sonja would be normally suited in a metal mesh bikini. However that is Rose McGowan who will be portraying Red Sonja in the now scheduled 2010 Film!

What We Are Watching Now...
The West Wing!
When the Big Networks' TV Season is over, (or on hiatus like this past Season!), we usually rent DVD Sets to catch up on new series that we have found after they have been on, or sets that have compiled some of our favorite series recently.
Right now we are waiting for Season 3 of 'The West Wing' to come in, after viewing Seasons 1 & 2 this past week.
This great TV Series was one of Tina's 'TV Shows' that she watched before we married a few years ago.
I hadn't watched it before, and found myself very interested in the final seasons, starting midway in Season 4. I usually don't like getting 'involved' with a series that has been on for a while, but found the actors to be well casted and after a while tended to ignore the sometime 'preachy' aspects from the producers and just let myself be entertained by the storyline.
Recently with the 'presumptive' nominee Obama winning the Democratic nomination, I've missed watching the fun of actual campaign races being fought everyday on the cable networks.
When I saw Season One of this TV Show for rental, I queried Tina if she wouldn't mind if I rented the DVD for us to view.
Turns out she had only see most of the episodes of Season 1 & 2 herself, and thus we have been enjoying watching this 'timely' show the past couple of weeks.
Now we are watching another DVD set while waiting for Season 3 of 'West Wing' to come in.
BTW, if you have not seen all the episodes of this series, it has a high recommendation from Tina and myself!
We do watch more than just Sci-Fi and Comic Book Movies!

(NOTE: UPDATE As of 08-14-08 of Engineer Bill's passing. Click here to read.)
It's A
Red Light... Green Light...
Glass!
(Engineer Bill Collectibles!)
Back on April 27th 2008 I blogged about Engineer Bill and what fun I had watching his show.
Early this morning I received an email from a reader of that archived blog post, who has one of the rare 'Red Light - Green Light Glasses' on auction right now till July 3rd 2008!
Andy aka eBayer android007 has listed a glass on item listing number 230265881971 that is scheduled to end July 3rd 2008 18:42:33 PDT unless he takes a BIN offer before that!
Below is a repost of the blog that Andy found us at:
"One of the earliest things I can remember from my childhood was when my dad, who was in the Navy, was stationed in Long Beach.
It was during that time that Engineer Bill (Stulla) hosted a kid's TV show on KHJ Channel 9 in Los Angeles.
He was a favorite TV show host during the 1950's and 1960's.
His show was broadcast on every week day about when school had been out for a while, with enough time to get home to watch his show.
What really stuck out in my memory was his 'Red Light - Green Light' portion of the show, where my brother and I would drink, stop, drink, and so on when he would say 'green light' for us kids to drink the milk out of the glass, and 'red light' to stop drinking!
Some of the things that stick in your mind don't always make sense years later, but it was here that I found that drinking and eating what's good for you was fun!
By the way, other local televised kid's shows of Los Angeles during that time were Sheriff John, Chucko the Clown, and Bozo the Clown.
I don't remember many 'National' shows that I watched during that time but one for sure was Captain Kangaroo seen in black and white format.
I was recently emailed asking if we had any more Engineer Bill collectibles for sale, from a reader who saw my previous blog post on Engineer Bill. We don't, and I noticed there is a dearth of them on eBay! So anyone out there with some to possible list, let us know and we'll blog about for you!"
The above offer still stands, and we'll do the same for you that we are doing here today for Andy and his listing 230265881971 that is scheduled to end July 3rd 2008 18:42:33 PDT!

The above is a picture of Engineer Bill taken during the 1960's while holding his "RED LIGHT-GREEN LIGHT" Glass used during the portion of the show that my brother and I used to follow and imitate while watching his show!
Below are a few photos of the rare glass that is currently on auction 230265881971 that is scheduled to end July 3rd 2008 18:42:33 PDT! Just click on any of the photos of the glass to view the auction listing!

Jericho TV Show Renewal Campaign Still Going...!
Yesterday I blogged about the new Season 2 DVD set of the Jericho TV Show, both here and in our non-eBay Blog.
We had a comment added on last night on the other non-eBay blog post, from Gwen at Jericho-Kansas.com that I wanted to share here for more publicity on the effort that is still going to save this show.
Here is Gwen's comment:
"The fight to save Jericho is not over!
The fans have already put ads in The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, a billboard in Los Angeles, and are now airing TV ads in the Los Angeles area.
CBS Paramount is in talks with other parties to continue Jericho and they want to hear from the Jericho fans.
Please write to: Ms. Nancy Tellem, President, CBS Paramount Network Television Entertainment Group, 4024 Radford Avenue, Studio City, CA 91604-2190."
For more information on how to help Save Jericho you can go to her website, and check out the community page. With eBay's upcoming new rules about 'hot links', we can't publish the actual web page here...

Jericho TV Show
Season 2 Now On DVD!
I am pleased that this DVD set was rushed to publication so quickly!
Especially after the messed up TV Season we had this past year!
'Jericho' was one of the TV Shows that we watched religiously and also blogged about the first season it was on.
Perhaps it was because my own personal family started out in Kansas... perhaps it was because of the theme of the show.
Tina and I watched both special programs at the San Diego Comic Con International (SDCC) each year of the show and came away with a good feeling each time.
If you were a casual viewer of the show, than the DVD set(s) is the way to go to fully understand what was going on.
It wasn't as complicated as 'Heroes' or 'Lost', but with what happened when it was cancelled, then brought back, and then shortened due to the WGA Strike, made watching this series a little tougher than most.
I would say that the TV Show will be missed.... but with the two DVD Sets it will live on in our memories....

Did You Get ALL of the Newspaper Insert Comics?
Talking About The
Spider-Man
Collectible Series!
During August 20th 2006 thru February 25th 2007, there were 24 issues of this popular newspaper comic book insert published.
Several months ago I was emailed about where could an 'Americana' collector pick up the rest of the Spider-Man Newspaper Comics that they had missed?
At that time we didn't have ours up for sale, so I referred them to the publisher of the comics for any back issues for sale they might have had left.
Even though the emailer wasn't a comic book collector, there was interest in the series because this short lived promo series was truly 'Americana'.
For those that weren't there at the beginning of this 'collectible series', it started by reprinting the Amazing Fantasy #15 comic book which introduced Spider-Man and was cover dated August of 1962. The series then reprinted Amazing Spider-Man #1 which was cover dated March 1963 and ended with issue #11 which was cover dated April of 1964! There are 24 volumes in this set.
We have now placed several of our own personal back issues for listing in our eBay Featured Store.
These promotional comics are included in our 'unlimited' shipping special (for raw unslabbed comics only) to buyers with USA addresses. Please see this Blog Post by clicking here for further details.

What better way to start out the series than by reprinting the first appearance of the Amazing Spider-Man from Amazing Fantasy #15! The 24 volume set includes his early adventures versus the Vulture, Electro, Doctor Octopus, Sandman and the Chamelon!

The Not-So-Happening!
M. Night Shyamalan's new movie, The Happening, is getting blasted by the critics. No surprise there. I don't think they ever forgave him for the 'don't spoil the ending' Sixth Sense.
Myself - I'm too scared to see it - I got chills just watching the trailer before Iron Man.
The word of mouth I've heard has been pretty good. Perhaps the disconnect is that the movie is not as downright scary or gory as some people, and certainly, some critics expected. From what I've heard, it's more tense and builds to a scary scene or two.
So if you're looking to get the crap scared out of you - forget The Happening and check out these classic Horror comics. When Michael and I are on buying outings, I'm in charge of quality control. So, I have to study the covers looking for any defects. Let me tell you, I always get a little freaked out staring at these covers. I just know I'm going to have nightmares!
If you're looking for a nightmare, we've got the makings right here! (Click Here For HoRRoR Comics!)
Remember, we'll ship as many of these (raw, unslabbed) comic books to you (U.S. addresses only) for only $4.99.

Jon Voight
Joins "Jack Bauer" /On The Cast Of The “24” TV Show!
We're stoked to learn that Jon Voight will play Jack Bauer's nemesis in Day 7 of 24. The Oscar-winning Actor (Coming Home, 1978) hasn't appeared in a television series since Gunsmoke in the 1960's.
We're eager to see what the writers will be doing with such a big name star. His character is said to be the mastermind behind the lastest terrorist attack that consumes Jack on Day 7. If you remember Voight's role in the first Mission Impossible movie, you know he can be a surprising villian.
Voight's character will be introduced in a two-hour Season 7 prequel being filmed now in South Africa and scheduled to air November 23. We're marking our calendars now! Season 7 begins January 2009.
If you can't wait until then, make up your own 24 storyline with the 24 Trading Card Game. Check it out by clicking the photo of the game at the top right!
