The result: the gloriously wonky Roy del espacio.

When I was a little kid, the Flash Gordon serials played on TV late night or early morning, on weekends, and they were part of a lot of sleepovers. We knew they were old, even as children, but they still 'got through' to us once we settled into them.

The only reality show my mom watched religiously was American Pickers. I inherited her Antique Archeology kitchen apron. Other than it was procedurals, cozy mysteries, and old movie serials like Sherlock Holmes and Charlie Chan.

It also doesnt help that on the history side of things he & his usual writers continued using Indigenous & “island/cannibal natives” as overused trope stocks in his serials. Realizing that the remake of “An Education for Thursday”, quite possibly the single most racist MM story ever made was—

In a personal sense, her weaknesses are cats, fancy pastries, saucy mystery serials, and sincere compliments.
Her character flaw weaknesses include a habit of "dealing with" (avoiding) unpleasant feelings by making bad sexual choices and a lack of self-esteem so buried she's not really aware of it.

We were an old movie family. Pat o’Brien and Jimmy Cagney, Shirley. Temple, John Wayne. I didn’t know they weren’t my era. Couple that with serials and movies in Armed Forces theatres #hatm

Some of the popular film series were basically filling the role TV played later it seems like to me. Or radio shows, which they often overlapped with. Serials etc. (Bowey Boys, Batman, Flash Gordon, Abbott and Costello, Charlie Chan, Tarzan, etc.)

My one-shots might also be put up at some point, but at this current stage I don't have as much interest so I'll let my actual serials get posted first.

I grew up on Tom Swift, Tom Corbet, the Boys' Life serials of Robert Heinlein... needless to say, I am severely disappointed in the actual 21st century to date.

What was "Poverty Row"? Hollywood's nickname for the cluster of tiny, low-budget studios around Gower Street and Sunset. Monogram, PRC, and Republic cranked out westerns, serials, and crime pictures on shoestring budgets. #TheNoirCollective

Watching all the old DC serials before the cartoons is really paying off. I can see a Hop Harrigan cameo from a mile away now

74 serials, 2 hooks, sounds about right. First 250 words test whether the writer knows what is already wrong. Most serials open with a world working fine and promise the trouble later. The trouble can be on line one and it still reads as a slow book.
