[1968] 🧠 Joe 90

Before smartphones, AI assistants, and instant downloads, Joe 90 imagined a future where a pair of glasses could transfer expert knowledge directly into a young secret agent’s mind.

Created by Gerry Anderson and Century 21 Productions, the Supermarionation series followed Joe McClaine as he used the BIG RAT (Brain Impulse Galvanic Response And Transfer) system to gain specialist skills for his missions.

A fascinating piece of 1960s British science fiction television that imagined digital knowledge transfer decades before it became reality.

Forgotten things are still part of history.

"Bob and Millie Frazier, average young New Yorkers who attended a party in the country last night, and on the way home, took a detour. Most of us on waking in the morning know exactly where we are. The rooster or the alarm clock brings us out of sleep into the familiar sights, sounds, aromas of home and the comfort of a routine day ahead. Not so with our young friends. This will be a day like none they've ever spent, and they'll spend it - in The Twilight Zone." Every Twilight Zone Episode - Stopover in a Quiet Town

Aliens in the Family paintover

While researching the work of the creators behind the legendary "Dinosaurs" series, I stumbled upon a gem from 1996 that (I confess) I knew nothing about: Aliens in the Family. It turns out they share that unique aesthetic of puppets and animatronics that only Jim Henson's studio knew how to achieve. This particular frame caught my eye; I simply couldn't resist working on it. I think it will be the last paintover I do; the truth is, I don't enjoy it as much as doing line art.

Dinosaurs Paintover (TV series)

I'm warning you, this isn't a color study; I don't have the patience for something like that. It's a paintover. I wasn't even born when the series ended, but it was definitely one of my childhood favorites. I remember it fondly. Now, seeing how it was made and paying attention to all the details of the costumes, I truly think it's incredible that something like this was accomplished and turned out so amazingly well. Even today, I can't believe it. I encourage you to at least look at the behind-the-scenes footage.

BEWITCHED — 4.16 "Humbug Not to Be Spoken Here"

[thegreatgildy]

Remember when the biggest decision of the day was whether to tape Regis & Kathie Lee or Oprah? This is that world again — the hum of morning TV, the commercials for things we don’t make anymore, and that soft optimism only the 90s could pull off.
