Here is one of the best fake histories to come along of a great TV show that never was: auntpetunia.com/index.html

Funny!

That is awesome! The casting throughout the episode guide was great.

This is a work of pure genius

Too bad about the fire wiping out the tapes. Would've loved to see them.

Wow. Somebody actually went to all the trouble of creating a fake FF series with background, cast info and episode guide? And yes, it's brilliant and the person knows a lot about vintage TV and classic sci-fi. 'The Professor' and 'Samantha' are perfect as Reed and Sue. I can definitely see them in the role. Interestingly enough I just watched the top 10 'Thriller' episodes hosted by Boris Karloff last month, whose producer (William Frye) is the faux producer of FF. (A very young) William Shatner was in a couple of the episodes.

Unfortunately there was a real FF TV series in the late 70's – just wretched (even for 70's TV).

If that was all fake, there is a LOT of talent behind it. Very knowledgeable of actors, writers and directors during the early 60's. I fell for it.

The beautiful and intelligent Elizabeth Montgomery as Sue? It should have happened! I could definitely see falling for someone like her. (I like Jessica Alba, but, no, THAT I can't see.)

The guy definitely knows his stuff. Burgess Meredith as the Mole Man! Fabian as Namor! Jean Shrimpton as Alicia Masters! Paul Henreid as Doom! James Arness as Annihilus! Orson Welles as the Hate Monger! Fred Hemmings as the Silver Surfer! Paul Lynde as the Impossible Man! With special appearances by the Fantasticar, Galactus, and even a Ray Harryhausen-animated Fin Fang Foom! The writers, directors, and other crew that he suggests are equally brilliant. Good stuff!

Shoot. Now I want to watch this show.

Love their explanation for how characters appear in the show that hadn't yet been created yet in the comic book lol.

Learn something new every day – that there is a faux 60s FF show and a real 70s one. Speaking of the realm of reality, has there been any talk of casting in the film 'reboot'?

I wish that this had been a real show.

Absolutely fantastic!
