Wow! I'm away from the forum for 24hrs, & all this exciting news explodes! I've been having such a geek-tastic week, & it's all been stuff that's happening on the other side of the world from where I am! ;D Like all of you, I'm also very hopeful that they stay true to the spirit of the original show for the comics, & especially the movie. The fact that the original creator & cast will be involved, gives me a lot of hope. But that said, I'm also not going to let myself get TOO excited, or I may find myself being very disappointed (a la Phantom Menace & the 4th Indiana Jones film). Interesting pic of WK in the suit.... I just wish he'd shave off that bit of fuzz on his chin! He looks a lot better without it, IMO. Feel the love. dolfyn.

We are going to do our best to bring you some news from Comic Con and give some inside information.
The booth is set up and ready to go for preview night tonight, It’s booth 2109 and a special thanks to Derek and Tyler for making it all happen.
We have a very cool looking banner and come get some sold out issues of Sparks 1 and Sparks 2, we brought enough for all 120,000 of you
We won’t be selling any Greatest American Hero merchandise until tomorrow, all I got to say is get there early, they won’t last. Wow, it looks amazing.
(OMG! Merchandise!!)
Again, tomorrow, Thursday at 12:30PM to 1:30PM please join us for amazing panel with Bob Culp, Connie Sellecca, Dennis “Danger” Madalone, Sean O’Reilly, Derek McCaw, Clint Hilinksi, Christopher Folino, and the very entertaining hosts of Pulp Secret Jusin, Alex, and Pete. And of course, a special video message from the ”Man” Stephen J. Cannell.
We have some very cool videos to show and we will talk about the show, the new comic book, the animated web series, and we will have some special moments.
It’s an amazing feeling to be able to see Bob and Connie again and to have us all together again, this is truly the start of something GREAT, or should I say “GREATEST”
All the best,
WK I think I'm going to pass out!

At least he is excited to see them again. But of course, with Connie, how could he not be? Hopefully Culp and Katt will be on good terms unlike when the J-MAN saw them last. Looking forward to hearing the news.

*sigh* Why does all the cool stuff happen so far away from me? I'm always living vicariously through other people's stories & pics & vids. I love living in Australia, but sometimes it sux that we're so far away from everywhere else! Ok, whinge over. *waits for reports from Comic Con* Feel the love. dolfyn.

I'm just glad to see a breath of life into the show that's OFFICIAL. Comic, toons, & live action movie... I feel like I'm in Heaven! And I trust that Katt & crew (whomever works on which project) can keep these reincarnations close to the original while still updating & going in new directions. I can't wait for these! (Forgive me for the pun, but it's appropriate.) I see that I'm not the only one who's walking on air about this!

Ironically, SJC and NBC only hated the idea of a girl in the suit...and not the way the original characters acted. Apparently SJC and NBC didn't mind that. Too bad Pam was not in the suit. ;D And the cameo idea sounds unconfirmed now. "Not making it without them" and having them have roles in it is different to me. I guess we will have to see. I am glad to see that they will be retelling the original story.

You know, I never had a problem with how they acted, just that Ralph, et. al. were out of character. But as some have said, maybe all the characters had changed that dramatically in five years so that's how they were written. I don't see much difference in the two terms - the exception is will they be on film versus just having a hand in helping the production itself. That said, I hope they give them cameo roles instead of just helping out. Just doesn't seem right to do it any other way.

I agree - it's a great article, though I feel that all the cast deserves a standing ovation because all three are about to take part in something that's been 25+ years in the making.

Yes, but I think Culp probably got a longer one or it was more worthy of mention due to the fact that he has been a TV staple for so much longer with shows like I SPY and TRACKDOWN prior to GAH.
I hope they have cameo roles myself, but the article does not guarantee that from the wording.
