[edit] Episode list?

As it wouldn't be very long, but would help lengthen the article itself, would it be good to add an episode list?

That's a good idea. Please add such a list. Val42 19:14, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Correct Title?

I'm just wondering if the correct title for the show should be "Man from Atlantis" or "The Man from Atlantis"? The title of the book used as a graphic is simply "Man" and so does a screenshot of the title located here [1]. Is anyone able to clarify this? -- Brother William 16:11, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

I've seen it referred to by both titles, but if the on-screen title doesn't have "The" then the article should be renamed accordingly. 23skidoo 18:43, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Since no one else has done so. I'll move the article. I did a Google check and the on-screen title, as well as the book and comic book titles, all omit the "the" article. 23skidoo 23:58, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Though IMDB includes "The". -- Beardo 18:30, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] All Episodes Released On DVD??

I have yet to see this released on DVD. I have been searching for years now and Then I see this statement in the Wikipedia Article. If this is the case where can I get this on DVD. Certainly not on Amazon.com Botany 15:28, 24 December 2006 (UTC) Richard Baas

[edit] connected or not?

"artist Frank Robbins had been involved with both characters in the late 1970s. Frank Robbins was never connected with Man From Atlantis." This bit needs to be changed - one way or another. Also, since the author of that phrase seems to assert the non-connection rather strongly, can a source be sited? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.211.151.151 (talk • contribs) on 20:23, 11 May 2007

I was about to make a similar comment. I think it means that Robbins worked on the comic strip adaption of the show, not the TV show itself. -- Beardo 18:28, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Duffy/Dallas "incorrect rumour"

I find the comment about Duffy joining the cast of Dallas "sometime later" following the MFA cancellation a little strange, as it makes it sound like there was a considerable amount of time between the two. Since MFA was in production for the 1977-78 season, and Duffy filmed the first episodes of Dallas in late 1977/early 1978, then it would seem that he jumped straight from one right into the next with very little time to spare. I haven't removed the comment, but I do think it needs some kind of verification if it is to stay on the main page. MassassiUK 21:42, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ManFromAtlantis.jpg

Image:ManFromAtlantis.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
