Clive Banks' Science Fiction and Telefantasy Databanks has an Avengers section that make interesting reading: TAF regulars will soon realize that significant chunks of the text have been lifted straight from TAF. And Clive claims in his CV to be a writer! More like a lazy cut-and-paster. Grrr... http://www.clivebanks.co.uk/databanks.htm CrazyAboutTV spices up a typical episode list with a little trivia. http://www.crazyabouttv.com/avengers.html
Television Heaven has a spot reserved therein for The
Avengers. http//www.televisionheaven.co.uk/aveng.htm Garn's Guides has an episode listing... also. http://www.geocities.com/garn13/avengers.html Something called Break TV has a teeny bit about the show. http://www.breaktv.com/pages/avengers.html The 50s Web is "your retro 50s, 60s and 70s source." http://www.fiftiesweb.com/tv/avengers.htm The Fact Index has a compact capsule overview on the series. http://www.fact-index.com/t/th/the_avengers__television_.html Mystery & Crime on TV profiles The Avengers in "Mrs. Peel, We're Needed" by Erik Arneson. http://www.mysterynet.com/tv/profiles/avengers/ TV Tome provides a (sketchy) Avengers Guide. http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-1196/ UK Terrestrial Cult TV covers over 50 programs, including, of course, The Avengers. http://fp.culttv.plus.com/ukculttv/avengers.html The Actors of British Science Fiction, Fantasy and Cult Television Shows lists virtually all Avengers guest actors, but what makes it even more interesting is seeing who played in what else, since Webmaster Toby Nelson covers over 80 cult shows for a total of nearly 10,000 actors (here is "my" page). http://www.tnelson.demon.co.uk/cult/index.html Jump The Shark defines that moment in a show when it has peaked... makes for fascinating reading! http://www.jumptheshark.com/topic/avengers-general-comments/127 The first entry in TV Acres' TV Signoffs - Departing Characters is Emma's touching farewell to Steed. http://www.tvacres.com/signoffs_departing.htm Whom: The objective form of 'who', used when 'who' is not the subject of its own clause. (You figure it out.) Little more than an episode guides site, which to be honest, has nothing fresh to offer. http://www.whom.co.uk/whom/avengers.htm The Network & Cable TV Show Guide has an ambitious goal: Catalog virtually every TV show ever broadcast. While there might not be enough server space for everything, they do at least feature The Avengers. However, they insist on calling our hero Jonathan Steed. Warning: Loud and terrible midi theme file loads with this page. http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/9348/avengers.htm For a highly colorful and animated look at the history of British Television, featuring The Avengers (episode guide only so far), see British Television History and Classic Programming. http://freespace.virgin.net/peter.culley/avengers.htm At Pop Culture's Greatest Hits, The Avengers is named as one of the "Top Five TV Shows in History." (Glad to see it was a winner. As for some of the other picks, well, there's no accounting for taste.) http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Venue/7412/TopFiveTVShows.htm Tim's TV Showcase features a page about The Avengers, listing Patrick Macnee's character as Jonathan Steed. http://timvp.com/avengers.html Pazsaz Entertainment Network provides little more than an episode list and a sadly outdated storefront—note the spelling of Patrick Macnee's character: John Sneed! http://www.pazsaz.com/avengers.html The Avengers at Cult TV apparently once comprised a complete plagiarism of James Dawe's The Unofficial Avengers Home Page (now defunct). Some remnants of the rip-off are still evident, including James Dawe's original page background and the logo that James lifted from my original Avengers pages. This page used to contain a long, nasty rant directed toward James Dawe for complaining that he had been ripped off; thankfully this is all in the very distant past, and everyone has moved on. http://www.cultv.co.uk/avengers.htm http://www.cultv.co.uk/ http://www.cultv.co.uk/copyright.htm |
