Beyond Old.
54 doesn’t feel like a whole hell of a long time to have been walking this good earth. I have to keep reminding myself that to a lot of people whose paths I cross nowadays, 54 years is just a tad short of forever…

What is Guillermo del Toro smoking?: Pan’s Labyrinth director will adapt an ancient British TV show about secret agents who acquire psychic powers after crashing in the Communist Himalayas.
Ancient?! I glanced at that photo and instantly remembered the show without even needing to follow the link. It was called The Champions. I would have been 15 when it started airing in the fall of 1968. I recalled it running for just one season and that the stories were fairly unexciting and unimaginative considering the premise. It was certainly no Avengers, but then nothing else was either. I wouldn’t go out of my way to own the DVD set, assuming anyone would make one.
Ancient. Ancient. It’s not helping that I can remember when telephones all looked like that too. And…window blinds.
On the other hand, a remake of Run For Your Life could be cool…

I remember that series as well.
I’m 28.
