I also remember "Shazam" that ran from 1974-77 where Billy Batson (who became Captain Marvel) travelled in an RV with "Mentor" who was his guide.

CHILDREN'S NETWORK LAUNCHES TRANSSEXUAL SUPERHERO SHOW
Nothing says “child-appropriate material” quite like gender-bending underage superheroes.
At least that’s the theory over at the Hub, the network co-owned by Discovery and Hasbro, which is trotting out its latest soon-to-be-dud, SheZow.
That show follows the adventures of a 12-year-old boy named Guy who uses a magic ring to transform himself into a crime-fighting girl.
Yes, you read that correctly. When Guy says the magic words – “You go girl!” – he becomes SheZow, wearing a purple skirt and cape, as well as pink gloves and white boots.
The chief executive of the Hub, who may or may not have been high (and leftist) when she greenlit this project, is Margaret Loesch.
Loesch commented, “When I first heard about the show, my reaction was ‘Are you out of your minds?’ Then I looked at it and I thought, ‘This is just funny.’”
The target audience for the Hub is children aged two to eleven.
Ben Shapiro is Editor-At-Large of Breitbart News and author of the New York Times bestseller “Bullies: How the Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences America” (Threshold Editions, January 8, 2013).

This &*%$ is outta control.
Which is often used as pornography in Asian countries where the characters engage in very graphic sexual acts and is viewed by teens all over the world.
Some is. Some isn't. "Hentai" or anime porn is only one form of anime.
It’s really open season on children isn’t it.

Every child has a bullseye on him or her. It's no lie that "they are after OUR children". Any sane and caring parent has to be ultra cautious about what influences their children - whether it be movies, music, books (do kids read books any more?), friends and of course ...school. Schools are the ultimate indoctrination into perversion and leftist commie junk. And people who think things like "Well, I teach them right from wrong at home, and they're going to get exposed sooner or later, and anyway I don't want them to grow up isolated from "normal" life etc" shouldn't be surprised when Johnnie or Janey comes home and tells you "I'm really not a boy/girl, I'm a girl/boy". Children and that includes teenagers are very easily influenced, that's why in the "olden days" parents were very careful about what and who influenced their children. Now children are just thrown to the wolves.
Anyone wanting on/off either ping list, freepmail me.

My kids are huge fans of The Hub, and I let them watch some (not all) of the shows there. But I just wrote them a scathing note telling them I’d better not see a bunch of ads for this “edgy” “transgressive” “gender-bending” crap, or we’ll be ditching The Hub and heading to Disney instead. Does anyone else feel like giving them their .02 as well? ;o)
Matthew 18:6 But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.
I think that makes it pretty clear.
It was bound to be the next step. first Robots to trucks and cars. then Boys to Girls.
However, the target audience is all wrong.
I remember a fantasy novel called Transformer about a guy who could turn himself into a woman at will when he needed to kick some butt.
The concept worked fine for the adult audience that it was intended for.
That pic reminds me of a 70s Saturday show... the small group of ‘heroes’ travelled around in an RV (and was the first time I saw the manned jet pack)..
A couple of years ago, I was trying to find the name of it, but gave up.. any idea of the name of that show?
You're thinking of "Ark II" from 1976. I also remember "Shazam" that ran from 1974-77 where Billy Batson (who became Captain Marvel) travelled in an RV with "Mentor" who was his guide.
BTW, this is one of the things that makes FR a great information resource ;)
Almost always, someone will know what the heck you’re talking about :D
THAT’S It! :D thank you ;)
He was neither senile nor on drugs ... he was a libertarian atheist (borderline anti-theist, IMO, certainly anti-religion) and it shows in his writing. In many respects, he seems to me to reject the idea of objective right and wrong. That is, with the usual libertarian atheist exception that belief in a supreme being or worship thereof is wrong.
RAH was a lifelong libertine, who mostly kept it out of his writing until Stranger in a Strange Land.
He was in poor health when he wrote I will fear no evil, and it was published with, I think, no editing. I read it when it was originally published in Galaxy magazine, and it was hard to get through. Wordy and tedious. His next novel was much better.
Yes, emphasis on "mostly" ... Revolt in 2100 was published in 1940 and pretty well shows his hand (Protestant fundamentalists itching to impose a theocracy).
No problem. I liked a lot of those old Filmation shows and I also liked a lot of Sid and Marty Krofft.

Not so fantastical. There are real groups that fit that description.
Heh. Good point. I was going to say SailorMoon Stars.
