"There are episodes of Checkmate! on YouTube. I just saw the first episode, guest-starring Anne Baxter.
I admit that I never heard of this series. I knew about Family Affair but I seldom watched it in syndication.
I enjoyed his Twight Zone episode…"
"I was surprised (and pleased) to see Sebastian Cabot as "Pip" in "A Nice Place to Visit" (Twilight Zone, S1 E28), one of the few episodes I had not seen before but saw for the first time only recently."
""Never heard of that show."
I do remember Family Affair, though it was not a regular watch. I also know (1) that Tim Curry played Mr. French in the failed 2002 remake of the series which I never watched even once and (2) that the sad fate of M.…"
"Honestly, give the nature of the stories, I think they read better with a little break between them (which is the opposite of what I usually think). All of the covers and alternates are included in the collection as well. Singling out the…"

Much obliged, friend Eric. I'd read that story, of course, but had completely forgotten about the Superman-meeting-himself-as-a-boy segment of it. Probably because, by that time, I was tired of Superman-Flash races.

Ha! I love the Mad post, Jeff. I'm betraying my age,though, when I state that I best remember Sebastian Cabot from his three-year stint as Dr. Carl Hyatt on the P.I. show Checkmate. (Waiting for someone to kick me by saying, "Never heard of…"
"Let me make a minor addendum to these two stories Commander. In DC Comics Present #2, October 1978, Superman and the Flash were racing to the future when Superman gets stuck in the 30th century. Thanks to a time warping device on his wrist, he finds…"
"Now that you mention it, Pete learns that Clark is Superboy by secretly watching him change clothes in the middle of the night! It could be a Bara-Komi manga!"
"Here are a few select sentences from Tom King's introduction: "Superman is impossible to write. Or so I hear. Often... Now, superman forgive my language, but that's a bunch of bill@$%#... superman is not impossible. He's not even difficult. He's in…"
"Then Commander Wilson returns, and Jimmy pulls off his fake goatee, revealing him to be the "Masquerade Mobster... the crook who always uses a different uniform to pull a job."

Jeff, I want to thank you and Tracy for the well-wishes you have given me, just to let you know how touching and thoughtful I think it was. I'm happy to tell you that I'm doing much better and I feel about 99% back to normal. Of course, it's easy to recuperate when all I have to think about is getting better while Adam takes every other burden upon himself. Here on Earth-B he has the reputation of being rather a cranky old cuss, but I know he's as sweet as a puppy! Tell him I said that and I'll blame it on the stroke.
Thank you again, Jeff, for thinking of me and do, please, pass my thanks and best wishes on to Tracy.
Happy new year!
Cheryl
