It's better to be a vidiot than an actual idiot.. 😅🕹️💜

I am a total vidiot. I watch way too many TV shows and movies. I'm watching a Twilight Zone marathon, and I just noticed that in the first season, just a few episodes apart, I saw Ida Lupino and John Dehner. I mention this because when I saw Ida, I thought of the Colombo episode, Swan Song. Ida was the murder victim in that episode. Then I saw John, who was the FAA crash inspector in that episode. I think it's cool that they were both in the early episodes of the Twilight Zone and on the same episode of Colombo. My mind notices weird things like this all the time so I thought I'd share this time with you. My mind works in mysterious ways 😁🤣😍

The Twilight Zone...

Colombo...

I love happy, little coincidences like this, don't you?

The New Mutants Summer Special one shot was published with a cover date of June 1990. TV obsessed Warlock captured a vidiot reporter from Megalopolis in Megaland. When Boom Boom tried to help send him back, she accidently sent herself, Warlock, Wolfsbane, and Sunspot with him. There, they had to deal with the media Kingpin Moopert Rurdock (an obvious parody of Rupert Murdoch. There was also a parody of George Bush Sr). They also met strange creatures like M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction, that was half Uncle Sam and half mutant Russian Bear. The two halves of the creature fought each other even though they shared the same body), Situation Ethics, and the Mediamogul, who ran everything behind a curtain like the Wizard of Oz. Back in the real world, children used media to spotlight a polluted pound and pressured the offending company to clean it up. The issue ended with four pin-ups by artist Bret Blevins, who was both the penciler and inker for the one-shot. In the last pin-up was a note "Special thanks to Ben Bagdikian, Noam Chomsky, Marshall McLuhan, Mark Hertsgaard, Walter Lippman and all the other media theorist out there!!" ("A Mutant in Megalopolis" New Mutants Summer Special 1, Marvel Comic Event)

Preview of ET on Atari 2600. (Vidiot #2, Feb-Mar 1983)

"There aren't a tremendous amount of shortcomings in this game, though a few bothersome wrinkles could probably have been smoothed out had Atari had some more time - or if Christmas was in May, if you catch my drift."
