Title: Tintin, a TV show? Wha?

I watched through the whole episode, it's pretty good for a show i don't regularly watch and had never even heard of. I mean, I knew there were Tintin comic books, but I didn't know there was a TV show or anything like that.

Virginia.

Edit: j/k, Virginia is not a country. State-ism, nationalism, and school pride = stupid. I live in the area commonly referred to as Virginia in the area commonly referred to as the United States of America.

I've read all of the Tintin (Known as Kuifje here) comics, as somebody living in Belgium, you're pretty much obliged to :p

Awesome :) Weird to hear the english voices though when you're used to hearing them in your own language. A cool thing back then was that whoever translated them into Danish went to extraordinary length to expand Haddock's vocabulary of swear words, to the point that I'd estimate about 1/4 of our swear words to this day hail in some way from him :p

I always knew there was a show, but never actually watched it.

Amusingly I have almost all the comics from an earlier age. I'm missing Flight 751 and some others, about five. Don't remember which.

Blistering barnacles! I read every single one of those comics back when I was in high school, but I never caught them on TV. Thundering typhoons, that's great. :)

I have to say, the Moon arc was thoroughly entertaining, as was the whole Unicorn story. Aaaah, haven't watched it in years. Fantastinc music, too. Just a damned good show, really. :yes:

Yeah, I read it when I was a kid too.

Though the kiosks stopped selling them when the war started, so I was perpetually stuck in the storyline somewhere when he was in a blizzard and found some cave, and that was it forever.

Um... which war are you referring to?

Usually people refer World War Two as The War but I don't think BD is old enough, and the Third Gulf War is a bit too recent

Ooh Tintin, this does bring back memories. Time to times the show reruns here, gotta have a look again sometimes.
