In 1986, news broke that United States government officials had been selling arms to Iran, and funneling the profits to the Contras, a group of anti-communist rebels in Nicaragua. The Iran-Contra Scandal (as it would come to be known) was a defining event in the Reagan administration; the investigations and trials that followed dragged on for years, and gave many Americans a less-than-rosy view of their government and its secretive dealings.

The early '70s were a time of change and upheaval for Marvel Comics, as they were for much of the world. The company was hiring new creators, experimenting with new styles and formats, and expanding their line of titles in all directions.

In 1966, Marvel was setting the standard for the comic industry. Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and their contemporaries were breaking all the rules and making comics hip for readers young and old. Stan Lee had begun to give lectures on college campuses, the "Marvel Super-Heroes" cartoons were being shown on TV, Lee and Kirby's Galactus Trilogy storyline in "Fantastic Four" had introduced cosmic awareness into comics, and John Romita Sr. was beginning his run on "Spider-Man."

Yesterday we got a 30 second teaser for TV's ABC's "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." series and now we've been treated to an extended look at the superhero show. And the first thing that jumped out at me, other than the fact that there's a live-action TV series that exists in-continuity with a massively successful movie series based on a bunch of comics, is how Joss Whedony this sucker is going to be. Sure, Whedon is the man behind both the series and "Marvel's The Avengers" (which makes him the creative bus driver of the whole shebang). But for fans of Joss and his cult classics like "Buffy," "Angel," the original draft of "Alien Ressurection," "Firefly," and a few lines in "Speed," there's going to be a whole lot of those patented clever, cute, quick, and witty Whedonisms to get all shiny about.
Here are 8 bits and bites that I found.

UPFRONTS! Is there another word more thrilling to the human soul?
Yes, it's that time of year once again when the networks announce their new fall schedule. Which shows will be this year's "Mob Doctor" or "Partners" or...okay, last season wasn't very good. But let's see what shows might be better this year...
I actually had the chance to read some of the scripts for these shows before they were even shot, to give me a taste of what to anticipate, other than, you know, spin-offs and remakes of British shows, and stuff about cranky geniuses.
Here are some of my findings.
DISCLAIMER: A show isn’t in its final form until it actually airs. There may be recasts, reshoots, retitlings, retooling and a complete and an utter change of everything the series is about in the journey from script to screen. These are just impressions based on the initial scripts sent out. You have been warned.
