   Oh man, you *ARE* pretty old then!  LOL   
      
   Captain Underpants has been around for at least 15 years.   
      
   No matter.. You would certainly have heard of the above if you     
   had kids.

   The books are not bad at all. The film, practically follows the     
   book scene by scene.  It's fun quick read even for a grown-up.

   Fan fiction is something else.  I was referring to adaptations     
   of books to film/tv.   
      
   When there is news of an adaption coming along, the interest     
   for the book version increases - quite a bit.  For instance,     
   Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time is coming along to tv. The books     
   have already been redesigned with new covers and increased     
   prices. A new generation of people are therefore "discovering"     
   the series all over again.
