TV Information

There have been many serries that have transformed from movies to the smaller screen so to speak. Some of these have been moderately successful like Tremors the serries and some have been very sucessful like Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Some spin offs were better comics/books than they were T.V shows (Ex Savage Dragon, WildC.a.t.s, Iron Man,X Men).

The Power Rangers Wild Force team had the most zords in one genra of Power Rangers so far. The fact that they could combine these zords many diffrent ways also accounted for them having the most "Megazords" of all time as well.

The Transformers Armada serries introduced the Mini-cons which were smaller Transformers that could link with the larger ones to give the larger ones more power. The Mini-cons appeared under a diffrent name once before in the American Transformers line as Micro-Master Transformers.

The first "prime time" T.V couple to be shown in bed together were the Flinstones (Fred & Wilma). The Flinstones was also the first 30 minute cartoon to be shown during "prime time".

The actor that did Bugs Bunny's voice (Mel Blanc) was allergic to carrots.Bugs Bunny was "born" July 27 1940.Bugs Bunny first appeared in a 1983 toon called "Porky's Hare Hunt".

Movie Info

Some movies that are addapted from books or comics usualy tend to cut some stuff that the book or comics had in them. Now people though who have read the book and stuff may be a bit shocked/ disapointed by the changes. Some examples include Spiderman, and The Fellowship of the Rings.

Sometimes when movies are adepted from books, or comics the producers will change the story a bit, sometimes this makes for a more realistic movie while other times it makes it harder for people to understand. Examples of movies like this include Spiderman, The Hulk, Dare Devil, Ghost Rider, Steel (DC Comics), and the Batman Movies (mostly how the villians were created).

In Blade 2 he had to face off against a horde of vampire eating vampires called Reapers. Now Reaper vampires were created for the movie and may not be a true vampire species (according to mythology). Whistler has also made a surpizing return in the movie.

Some times movies and even t.v shows tend to present inaccurate information.The Terminator series has the Arnold (T1000) modeled, series classified as cyborges. Even in the first movie though they reveal that while they have human like skin on the outside, that on the inside they are all robot. In essence the Terminators had been wearing"fake skins" and were more like a sentient androids. According to most science ficton though cyborges tend to be seen as something that starts out as something completly organic(ex animal, human, alien) that ends up fused with machine parts. This results in a being that is part organic and part machine.

Other Movie/ TV Trivia.

1928 was when America came out with the first true Television the General Electric "Octogon".

In 1920, 57% of Hollywood movies billed the female star above the leading man. In 1990, only 18% had the leading lady given top billing.

In the 1940s, the FCC assigned television's Channel 1 to mobile Services(two-way radios in taxicabs, for instance) but did not Pre-number the other channel assignments. That is why your TV set has channels 2 and up, but no channel 1.
