Greetings and Happy Monday, peeps! It's the start of an all-new week, so I want you to approach this new day with all of the enthusiasm you can muster (especially for a Monday, no doubt). Get out there and do something spectacular today to help set the tone for this new week, this new month, and this new year!
Keeping with the kick I started next week, I wanted to give you a brief update as to what you'll find new today for February 4th's citation which, naturally, can be found right here.

Those who know me well will tell you that I go through periods where I'm a total junkie for vintage Science Fiction properties, the kind of which the late William Phipps appeared in. For those who don't know the name, he turned up in Invaders From Mars, Cat-Women Of The Moon, and even an episode of The Twilight Zone, all with fabulous performances, I'm sure. For those of you who like your SciFi with a bit of contemporary politic edge or commentary, he even turned up in the pilot episode for a late 1970's SciFi/Comedy called "Space Force," of all things. I think I noticed that it was up on YouTube.com, if you're interested.
If you don't know the name of Irwin Allen, then what in the Holy Hell are you doing here?!?! Allen was responsible for some of the greatest TV schlock of a generation, including programs like Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, Lost In Space, and Land Of The Giants, all of which should've been staples in your syndication diet if you're of the same background as yours truly. Gary Conway enjoyed leading man status for Land Of The Giants, though it was hard to peg any one person as the lead on this ensemble drama. Check it out if you get the chance, though I found it campier than most of Allen's other shows.
It's hard not to love a lady with a pretty smile, and the smile on Lisa Eichhorn probably draws plenty of attention. To be perfectly honest, she hasn't appeared in much Science Fiction: her leading lady status in the SciFi/Cult film Moon 44 is probably her biggest claim to genre fame, and sadly that's a film I've yet to see uncut. I did notice that it's currently available on Amazon Prime, so I'll probably be taking it in for a viewing as soon as I have the time.
There's a Trifecta of new birthdays for you regular knuckleheads. Be sure to check out February 4th's citations when you get the chance. And also be sure to tell all of your friends about SciFiHistory.Net: I can always use the good press.
