The show, which will also be called Misfits, has just been given

We thought we’d heard the last of the attempts to adapt the brilliant anime TV series Cowboy Bebop, but apparently not. A live-action version is coming to TV, and there’s some pretty impressive clout behind it.

From the time of Wonder Woman’s creation, she has always been treated as a sort of women’s alternative by the people whose jobs it is to make money from her worldwide brand.

I grew up reading The Bobbsey Twins, Tom Swift Jr, Nancy Drew, and The Hardy Boys. These mysteries were packaged by the Stratemeyer Syndicate and specifically targeted kids.
