Thread Name: Any 'Trekkies' also Folkie fans?
Subject: RE: Any 'Trekkies' also Folkie fans?
A lot of references on this old thread to
"Amazing" magazine.
Also some to "Analog". I've just been introduced to those things,
which were decades ago, so I missed them the first time around.

Are you all aware that Steven Spielberg, in one of his many ventures
away from the big feature films,
went for "Amazing Stories"?
He has stated in at least one interview,
that when he was very young,
his father would read to him from "Amazing Stories."

So Spielberg attempted a re-iteration, I think for the small screen.
There are people in television-land attempting to continue,
although Spielberg has moved on since.

And the reason this got my attention in the first place:
I have been watching, on and off,
the ABC network fantasy show "Once Upon A Time" -- lasted seven seasons, just ended.
The "Once Upon A Time" showrunners were Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis,
who were alumnae of the network show "Lost", of its writers that is.

Although Horowitz and Kitsis have said that they need a little break
to catch their breath and be around their families
after seven straight years of weekly television episode writing,
there is now a "TV-Line" report

that "Amazing Stories," whatever TV people have it now,
have approached Kitsis and Horowitz to work there.
This is not a main network though -- something online instead?
