A number of the stories were produced for Radio's X-1 series, I will check my audio files for actors' names which might help track down broadcast dates. --Alf melmac 13:08, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Watchers
The Bradbury short story The Watchers published in Weird Tales in 1945 is unrelated to the bridge passage of the same name in The Martian Chronicles, so I have removed the "may be different" speculation. — Walloon 18:13, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for checking and correcting that, Walloon. - 68.100.18.183 00:05, 23 January 2006 (UTC)RandomCritic.
[edit] wrong dates!
The movie version of The Martian Chronicles starts in 1999. The book, though, starts in 2030. I think that should be changed in the article. It should be specified that the book and the movie have different dates. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.132.222.42 (talk) 20:12, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
- I've got the book in front of me right now and the first chapter is in January, 1999. --ziekerz (talk) 17:15, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Recent editions of this book have had the dates updated for 21st century readers. Don't know why this was done, maybe this would be a good section to add to the article about why this was done and how readers reacted to this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.232.225.164 (talk) 04:21, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Title of article should be italicized
It is a book title, as shown by capitalization of the word "Chronicles." 201.9.212.47 (talk) 02:51, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Way in the Middle of the Air
This story was deleted from the edition I bought, so the year 2034 depicted in the main article probably should be deleted? Book was created for Book of the Month Club, ISBN 0-965-01746-X. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.232.225.164 (talk) 04:20, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
