Just want to say congratulations on #300. I heard a lot of people saying they’d like to see 300 more, but I’ll up that one and say you guys need to add an extra 0 on to that 300 🙂
I would’ve loved to enter your contest for 300, but with a young daughter at home it’s hard to find the time to put everything togethether to get what I envisioned. Maybe someday I’ll complete it and just send it in during one of the regular voicemail shows.
Congrats on episode 300!
Am I alone in the metaphorical universe? I love The Cape. I lack the time on Monday night watch two shows live, so I choose to watch The Cape that day, and then Chuck on Tuesday.
I think this show is a near perfect representation of a silver-age comic, and I love it. The one thing I will concede is that the villians more then then hero make the show.
Thanks guys!
Tensaibaka – Do that! Just send it into the regular VM show when you’re able.
Jason – I think it’s kinda cheesy fun myself. I think people just need to have the right mindset for it and enjoy it for what it is.
