TV PROGRAMS
The Waltons (1972) After the “rural purge” of 1970-1971 by antiwhite TV executives, a backlash from Congress called for more wholesome family-oriented programming. CBS then created The Waltons, and placed it in a time slot where it would fail. However, the show about the Walton family of rural Virginia proved to be an instant hit.
Monty Python’s Flying Circus (1969) – Drawing from a solid base of erudition, the troupe created sketches that were both intellectual and absurd; often mocking accepted English society. Taking an original approach to comedy writing, their programs consisted of multiple sketches, sometimes nested within each other and/or segued by bizarre animations.
Blackadder (1983) – This series is broken into four time periods: 1) The Black Adder, about Richard IV’s second son Edmund in 1485, 2) Black Adder II, during the reign of Elizabeth I, 3) Black Adder the Third, late 1700s, 4) Blackadder goes Fourth, World War I. For your viewing pleasure and convenience, each time period features an Edmund Blackadder with sidekick Baldric.

LITERATURE: MALE ROLE MODEL
A Princess of Mars (1912) – Capt. John Carter is prospecting in Arizona. While suffering from an attack by Apaches he does not die. Instead, he feels himself hurled across the void between Earth and Mars. On Barsoom (as it is called by its inhabitants), he quickly earns the respect of a savage tribe (the Tharks) by using his greater speed and strength (being accustomed to Earth’s gravity and atmosphere) to fell mighty opponents. He rescues a princess (Dejah Thoris) from the refined copper-coloured race of Helium, and goes to war with its arch enemy. He lives a happy life until the thin atmosphere of Barsoom runs out of oxygen, resulting in a death that sends him back to Earth. [Edgar Rice Burroughs simultaneously wrote the tales of John Carter and Tarzan. While the epic tales of John Carter meet and exceed those of Tarzan, the highly imaginative setting of Barsoom prohibited the marketing Tarzan received.]
The Gods of Mars (1913) – Returning to Barsoom once more, John Carter finds himself at the south pole of the planet, in the Valley Dor – where the planet’s inhabitants go to die, and no one is allowed to return under punishment of death. He uncovers the secret that both a black race (the First Born) and white race (the Therns) have been running their own cults, necessitating the killing of unsuspecting pilgrims to the valley. He brings the forces of Helium, and the savage Tharks, to finally end the predation practiced by both the Therns and First Born. Before the cult is crushed however, its leader has Dejah Thoris thrown into an inescapable prison.
The Warlord of Mars (1914) – After destroying the city-states running the death cults in the Valley of Dor, Dejah Thoris is kidnapped from her prison and taken north. John Carter battles enemies while in pursuit; until arriving at the planet’s north pole, where a previously unknown yellow race uses a secret technology to capture entire fleets of air ships – and the crews as slaves. John Carter is taken prisoner, but must free himself and join the numerous slave population in revolt.
Tarzan of the Apes (1912) – Lord and Lady Greystoke are shipwrecked along the coast of Africa in 1888. A year later they give birth to their son, John Clayton. The lady dies of disease, and the lord is killed by the ‘great apes’ which live in the forest. The baby is adopted by a female ape (to replace her own dead child). The apes call the baby Tarzan (tar=”white” and zan=”skin”). In time, Tarzan defeats the ape’s leader in combat, to become the new leader. He finds his parents’ long deserted cottage, and using intact literature, slowly teaches himself to read. He becomes savvy in the ways of man as well as the ways of the jungle. In time, he becomes the absolute ruler of his domain. [Note: the Tarzan character is both noble and savage. He kills both beast and African with swift brutality. Therefore, there has never been an accurate representation of Tarzan anywhere outside of the novels by ERB].
Conan (1932) – In the Hyperborian Age, Conan lived and ruled by his own hand. Straightforward, brutal, with a savage nobility, Conan fights armies, monsters and sorcerers as his travels take him into extraordinary lands and fantastic situations. [Robert E. Howard first published Conan stories in Weird Tales. Howard had 17 stories written and 17 published before his death.]
LITERATURE: SCIENCE FICTION
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (1979) – The life of quiet, boring Arthur Dent is changed forever when the bureaucratic Vogons show up and destroy the earth. Luckily, Ford Prefect also arrives to serve as a kooky guide for Arthur through bizarre galactic adventures. [This book will most likely make you laugh out loud. The other titles in this famous Douglas Adams series are: The Restaurant at the End of the Universe; Life, the Universe and Everything; So Long and Thanks for All the Fish; and Mostly Harmless ]

Interspersed amoung the battles are the gods, manipulating men and events either at their own whims, or in answer to prayer by the combatants.

The Odyssey (8th century BC) –At the end of the Trojan War, King Odysseus and his men begin their journey home. They must navigate through the lotus-eaters, a cyclops, sea monsters, whirlpools, and a sorceress. The entire crew is lost on the ten year return journey, save Odysseus. Once reaching home (after leaving 20 years prior for the Trojan War), he finds his wife besieged by suitors, vying for her hand and the rule of Ithaca. Odysseus constructs a plan to prove his identity and take his revenge on the suitors.

He protects her from his nine nasty neighbor giants, who have a habit of travelling to foreign countries to eat humans (as all giants know people taste differently based upon where they live).
