You might remember a couple of months ago when I said there were a couple of Gerry Anderson series I had not seen. “Supercar” is one of them. Now Shout Factory has released this series on DVD in a great collection that is well worth picking up for fans of the Supermarionation series creator. Maybe…

This was the last Webelos event August would be participating in. By spending the night here he earns his Arrow Of Light badge, which is a distinguished honor he can wear as a Boy Scout. Next month he participates in the crossing over ceremony and will officially be a Boy Scout. But first, to earn…
