| Sci-fi for tommorow
I grew up reading sci-fi/fantasy and watching it on kids tv, cause lets face it - get read of the dancing purple dinosuar and other such annoying junk, and whats left but science fiction and fantasy? look at toons, right now i'm watching yin yang yo, have also had on power rangers (typical quest based sci/fi fantasy), also had on toons such as spider mand/xmen etc.., even disney is starting to get in on the sff act (though it's characterised by anoying talking animals and obscenly happy endings with no thought to the actual science behind the fiction).
so:
1. did having a wealth of science fiction/fantasy style programs on tv when you were growing up have an impact on your choice of viewing/literature in later life?
2. are we preparing a new generation to be sff fans when they reach adult hood, and hopefully more sff programing and less reality tv! |
