VH1'S COMICS/TV SPECIAL

VH1 will take a look at actors and actresses who played comic-book characters on television in "Where Are They Now?: TV Heroes & Villains."

The one-hour show will premiere on Monday at 10 p.m.

Featured in the show are Nicholas Hammond from The Amazing Spider-Man; Burt Ward, Eartha Kitt, Frank Gorshin and Lee Meriwether from Batman, Judy Strangis from ElectraWoman and DynaGirl, Joanna Cameron from Isis; Michael Gray and Jackson Bostwick from Shazam!; Lou Ferrigno from The Incredible Hulk; and Dick Durock from Swamp Thing.

Here's how the network describes the show:

"For more than fifty years, comic book heroes have made the leap to the silver and the small screen. In the process, characters like Batman, Spider- Man and The Incredible Hulk -- as well as their evil nemeses-have become part of our popular culture, while the actors who portrayed them have come to embody the super-human qualities of their famous roles. VH1's Where Are They Now?: TV Heroes & Villains tracks down these on-screen comic book crusaders to bring you up to date on the person behind the mask. In exclusive interviews we'll hear what it's like to play a legendary hero -- or a villain bent on ruling the world. We'll learn how it feels to possess super-human power, even if it is only movie magic. We'll also find out where the superheroes of the past have landed and what happens when the tights come off and the world of fantasy is left behind."

VH1 ran it earlier in the day [which they do a lot of] and, to be brutally honest, it's a loooong, waste of time with very little to offer.

Well, I'm unsticking the thread. Hope everybody that wanted to see it, got to see it. If you missed it, don't worry. VH1 reruns stuff quite often. I haven't watched the show all the way through yet, but I recorded it and I'll prob. watch it over the weekend.
