Current Talk '07 I / Re: How Come None Of The 91 Stars Come???
« on: June 02, 2007, 07:39:36 PM »
There's a perception in fandom that no one cares about the '91 series. Though that is most definitely not the case. For one, both Midnite and I are huge fans of the show (one of my most prized DS possessions is an autographed picture of Barbara Steele). And for another, many members of the forum have posted similar devotion.
It might be true that there are more DS fans who are devoted to the original. But just like how there have been more and more NoDS fans coming out of the closet in the past several years, there are many more fans of the '91 series than some may realize.
As to why the '91 stars are no longer appearing at the Fests, probably only Jim Pierson knows. There are certainly more than a few that I would jump at the chance to meet! Not that I don't still enjoy seeing the original stars when I encounter them at Fests, but with them it's more of a case of been there, done that. But it definitely wouldn't be that way with the '91 stars...
