Strange, today I noted a website while looking for pictures of Mr.
Muggs, and found Dvd collections of Captain Midnight, My little Margie,
Amos 'n Andy for fairly large bucks. 

I mean who wouldn't want to own their very own Sabre jet to fly out of
their very own mountain top fortress? And to pack a revolver? That was
kinda overkill when you could just swoop down on your enemies from above
and blow 'em to smithereens with the nose cannons. But, that was then,
up close and personal. <cackles> ric
