That's AWESOME that you're still using a VCR to record shows. As long as the tapes hold out. I'll probably have this recorded over in a week. |

The show is awful, at least from my perspective. It's chockful of inaccuracies and misrepresentations. Peggy Carter was NOT part of the Golden Age cast, she was created by Steve Englehart and Sal Buscema (fleshing out a nameless one-shot Lee/Kirby character from Tales of Suspense). Betty Ross was the female lead. Simon & Kirby did NOT go straight into the service after completing Cap #10, they went to DC after being cheated out of their share of the book's profits by Martin Goodman. The Red Skull was NOT the end result of a failed test of the super-soldier serum in the Golden (or Silver) Age, he was a guy in a mask. They're deliberately distorting history to avoid confusing non-comics readers who only know Cap from the movies. Screw it. Cei-U! I summon the big (but not unexpected) disappointment! Count your blessings, I got to spend a half hour with Kevin Smith!  |

I was a bit disappointed in this and I have to agree with Cei-U who is a Captain America's aficionado and I just wanted to say I wished that I had not it watch this in whole. It was a bit entertaining but I wished it was a bit more (more accurate please) information and that's my 2 cents worth of this Special that ABC puts together.
Sorry Members.

Thanks for the warning. I'll still watch it, but at least I'll know not to expect too much out of it. |

That's kind of what I figured it would be. Honestly, I'm a little disappointed. I've really been enjoying Sam in the role of Cap, and these kinds of announcements just suck the life out of books for me. We all know that Steve will be back as Cap eventually. Why kill the momentum of the current book by announcing its end this far out? Other sources say Sam will stay as Cap and there will be 2 Captain Americas in the MU. Steve will get his own book this summer, but Sam will still star in his own book-I saw this after I posted previously and when I posted I had only seen the announcemnt on the show itself not any of the press releases surrounding it. -M It looks like that's the case. I can't say I love the new shield. I like the shape of it, but the plain star over a field of blue/ gray is really dull looking.  |

Off to the internet! |

I thought it was cute how they kept the "in-joke" of Stan actually working on the books going

I"m glad I missed most of it then... it'd be no fun spending the whole show explaining what's wrong to my daughter. |
