Mike and Jon harassed me thus:
I'm pretty sure Dave was being facitious when he wrote that. He's probably got a birthday coming up and is refusing to acknowledge it by attempting to erase 60's shows from his memory. I bet he remembers 'leave it to beaver'You may have a point, there. We'll assume he remembers the 60s as clearly as do I, and wants to leave it behind.
Dude, seriously. I'm 35. I was born 5 months before Neil Armstrong set his first foot on the moon. I didn't grow up watching Batman and Star Trek -- I grew up watching re-runs of them. I have seen a few episodes of _Voyage..._ when they were showing it on Sci-Fi in the morning, a year or so ago. Sorry. Yes, I remember 'Leave it to Beaver' -- but from wasted afternoons after school in the 80's. Again, sorry.
Oops -- I guess I've been exposed.
(I was an annoying little kid. I found all the markings errors and factual mistakes and stuff like that. By the time I was about 12, Dad didn't like to watch TV with me in the room.)
Maybe have more in common than simple chronology would have dictated, after all. Um, excuse me -- what does GOD need with a STARSHIP??
I did hear, when I was on the Seaview mailing list, that someone had bought the 16-foot version of the sub. It was never made clear, but my impression from the photos was that a diver was supposed to be in it, making it do everything (like letting bubbles out of the MBT inlet valves). Does anyone know the truth?
See? That's why I mentioned it. I knew how fond you ancient fellows were of that sub. Incidentally, in my looking for tiny r/c subs on the web in the last few days, I found somebody's customer review in which they attached a Seaview model to the top of one so they could drive it around in the pool...
Don't worry, though. We're having a child soon. And she'll grow up watching the same 60's re-runs I did. That, and Buffy. And Rockford Files. And target practicing.
