Well, actually, I'm not really ashamed of any of it...there was some
good work done in all of those shows...it's just when I look back at them,
it's like looking back at anything you did; your brain goes into vapor
lock. You're tooling along the B5 freeway, minding your own business, and
somebody suddenly tosses a Jayce into the middle of the road, and your
brain trips over it for a moment.
About six, seven months ago, I dragged out some of the old animated
stuff, and while some of it has worn, a lot of it still plays pretty
well. Out of dozens of episodes, I think there are only 3 or so that I'd
like to eliminate from the known universe. (One of them is the CBS
Storybreak I wrote, adapting "The Shy Stegosaurus of Cricket Creek," which
I finally got to see after 5 years, much to my regret.)
For anyone who cares:
HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE - a dozen or more episodes
SHE-RA, PRINCESS OF POWER - ditto
JAYCE AND THE WHEELED WARRIORS - ditto
THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS - close to 20 episodes
I think that's all of them. Developed ELFQUEST for CBS, but it
never got near the air, and one syndicated show that got so perverted by
the producers, in a bad way, that I took my name off the series.
