The Superman radio show premiered in 1940, introducing the masses to many new aspects of Superman's Canon, but in the middle of its historic run, the people behind the show decided that they wanted to use Superman's influence to enact positive social change.  Enter, Operation Intolerance, and more importantly, the sixteen part series "The Clan of the Firey Cross" that directly took on real life racial hate groups.  

Before Nintendo Online, before the PSN, before Xbox Game Pass, there was Sega Channel, a revolutionary way to play new games on your Sega genesis through your cable provider.  

It's time for a classic Halloween in February celebration.  Learn the tale of the world's (supposedly) only haunted carousel horse, located at Cedar Point, and marvel in some of the more well-known Disneyland urban legends and hauntings.  Why does Tomorrowland have so many ghosts?  Honestly it's a mystery.  

Before Coraline, before Nightmare Before Christmas, before Wallace and Gromit, George Pal was making his "Puppet Toons" starting in the 1930's!  Using upwards of 9,000 individually carved wooden puppets, Pal's work has almost been completely forgotten by pop culture.  And yes, some of it was a bit racist.  It was the 30's!  Of course it was!  

In 1993, two cartoons starring Sonic the Hedgehog premiered within two weeks of each other; one airing weekdays on syndication, and the other on Saturday mornings.   Despite being drastically different from modern day Sonic, these shows helped to establish who Sonic was as a character and fleshed out a world that had previously been confined to pixels.  

Get Sonic!  Get Atomic! 

Since the dawn of time, games have been for the fellas, but in Japan, in 1994, a collective of women designers got together to make a genre defining game.  What if there was one princess, who had to choose between a collection of handsome and beautiful men on her quest to save the world?  

Rollercoasters don't typically have sequels, and one of the reasons that might be is because of Son of Beast, formerly the world's tallest, fastest wooden rollercoaster, whose entire existence was mired in an endless string of incidents and repairs.   From sections of the track collapsing, to getting hit by lightning, to having its best element, a record breaking loop, removed, the little beast just couldn't catch a break.  

Before Rudolph, and the Grinch, and a Charlie Brown Christmas and all of the classic animated Christmas Specials that you all know and love, there was a little old man with poor eyesight who was brought to life by one of the scrappiest animated studios there ever was.  This week is about the first (that we know of) animated Christmas Special, Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol, and how it paved the way for all the Christmas specials to come. 

This story is about a lot of things. It's somehow about tigers, Sea World Ohio, the world's tallest drop tower, Fabio getting hit in the face by a goose, and so much more, but above all, it's about Kingda Ka, formerly the world's tallest and fastest rollercoaster, and sister coaster to Cedar Point's Top Thrill Dragster.  For decades, Kingda Ka stood with her records untouched, but soon she'll be dismantled for parts, marking the end of the roller coaster wars as we knew them.  

Years before the release of Toy Story, when computer animation was still in its infancy, several guys from the UK, riding high on the success of their animated Dire Straits music video, got a wild idea:  What if they made a computer animated cartoon...in the late 80's?
