Tales of Tomorrow, Carnosaur 2, The Time Machine, The Punisher, Tarzan, The Lord of the Rings, Andromeda, V, Dark Shadows, Hogan's Heroes, Supercar.

Although we have some fine actors today the one I want to point out is John Banner. For those that grew up in the late 60's and early 70's the name will probably be familiar and for those that love reruns it may so also. John played the loveable Sgt. Schultz in Hogan's Heroes from 1965 to 1971. What a lot don't know about him is that John made more than 70 television appearances between 1950 and 1970, including Rocky Jones: Space Ranger, Adventures of Superman, Captain Midnight, Sheena Queen of the Jungle and The Lone Ranger to name a few sci-fi and comic book related shows.


Enjoy !!!
