Invisible Man fans are an international community and it’s really nice when I get to hear from those of you who are in other countries. A fan from France by the name of Elodie contacted me a couple of months ago and was very supportive of my film project. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all her support as well as those of other French I-Man fans out there. It’s great to know that there are other fans out there who want to see the cast together again as much as I do. Thank you!
Elodie runs a great I-Man fan site that you should check out. The link is below and I’ve also added it to the Friends and Supporters section on the right-hand side of the blog. Her site is written in French, so if you don’t read the language, you might try any of those handy free translator programs that are on the Internet. It will at least give you a gist of what is written.
Invisible Man fans, check out this terrific drawing done by Kristy (a.k.a. Rain), an I-Man fan from Australia. The piece is called Darien Fawkes – Living Hell. You can see a larger version of the picture by clicking on the above link and then clicking on the picture.
Kristy is the same artist who created the wonderful artwork for our I-ManiCon 2007 t-shirts, which some of you may remember.
A few weeks back I told Paul that I would get a blog post up and let all of you know about his new Facebook fan page. Well, I have to apologize to him and you for the delay. Things have been really busy for me and I’m just now getting it done.
Not long ago, I scoured through the I-Man pictures that I’ve collected over the years and sent a whole bunch of them to him for his new Facebook fan page. However, I only sent him pictures that he was in. Hey, after all this is his fan page. But you’ll also see plenty of the rest of the cast in those pics.
The fan page is run by a friend of his. So, if you’re a Facebook user, or if you want to be, go join Paul’s new Facebook fan page and show your support. Check it out!

I’m so excited to announce that season two of The Invisible Man is finally up on Hulu.com! Finally! So if you’ve never had a chance to see the entire show, now you can. And if you’ve seen all the episodes, you can go watch them again.
I’m hoping this means that we’ll get season two released on DVD soon.
Eight years ago today The Invisible Man appeared on our TV sets for the first time. It premiered with the highest ratings of any other Sci Fi Channel show up to that point; and was the number two show on the network during its two-season run. It received several Saturn Award nominations and won a best ensemble award from TV Zone magazine. In addition, several episodes were among the Futon Critic’s Top 50 Episode picks for 2001 and 2002. At the time of its cancellation it was the only show growing in syndication.
I remember coming into the Pilot 15 minutes late because I almost forgot it was on! I was kicking myself because I had been watching the commercials for the show and was really looking forward to checking it out. I had hoped it would be good and I was pleasantly surprised. I decided then to give this show a chance and by the third episode I was hooked.
Little did I know back then what a profound effect this show would have on my life. I could have never imagined that I’d be doing what I’m doing today. But here I am years later working on getting the cast back together again and having a blast doing it. Yes, it is a heck of a lot of work and sometimes I have to deal with frustrations, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I’m going to keep at it until I get our cast together again in a film. And who knows where that will lead? Maybe someday we’ll get to see more I-Man too.
Anyhoo, in honor of this day, I thought I’d create a poll. Remember those? I haven’t done one in ages. So I’m asking two questions this time: 1) When did you start watching The Invisible Man? and 2) Where have you watched it? To answer the poll questions, go to the Shoom Zone home page (yeah, I’ve been playing around with the design again) and scroll down a bit until you see the poll. It’ll be fun to see your answers!
