Revenge of my youth!

neadodsTV Shows on DVD has just announced that The Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys mysteries are coming to DVD on March 22.
My emotions are a melange. First, I'm happy, because I loved 'em to cheesy death. Hope they release the second season too. Second, I'm conflicted, because in my lifetime having the hots for Frank Hardy has gone from "He's too old for you" to "Cradlerobber!" And third, it means I am no longer special. Many moons ago - around 1995-6ish - I had a brief career in the fandom of children's book collecting, culimating in getting to personally be on panels with Joyce Brotman (creator of the show) because I was the only one in all of the fandom to have an almost complete set of the shows on videotape. I even made her copies!

Date: 2005-01-04 03:54 pm (UTC)I was into blondes when I just hit puberty, but somewhere around age 15 switched to the Dark Side of the Force, leaving both Joe Hardy and Luke Skywalker for Frank and Han. Not that I would turn *down* Shaun, having gone to NYC to see the Cassidy/Cassidy production of Blood Brothers...
It's going to be wierd to see them in order after all this time. Lest my precious original tapes get eaten/worn out, I dubbed them into theme watching copies - Frank Gets Hit on the Head, Joe Suffers, etc.
