Revenge of my youth!

TV 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!

oh lordy, lordy...I think I must own them. I can still hear the opening theme music. I too was a Frank fan. Joe was OK but always seemed stunned to me. But you know - I actually liked the Nancy Drew's better. Of course the best were the ones where they were all together.
