As a young teenager (female), I was convinced that in BOTP Princess was interested in Mark in more ways than Mark was interested in her. He was attracted to her, but she was the one pushing.
But, I'm watching the series again, and I'm seeing it as the exact opposite. He flirts with her, sends her messages, tells her he's attracted to her. She's sorta shy about the whole thing. No mention at all about teammates shouldn't be doing such things.
So, is this yet another instance of my uniqueness, or is it common?

Those bootlegged box sets that keep on appearing on Ebay (and is it discountanimedvd.com) are a cheaper than most way to see it. Or the Rhino DVDs have Gatch eps on as well as BOTP and they have far superior subtitles to the bootlegs. And they're legal.

I cannot really answer your question as I need to re-watch my Rhino Box Set DVD's and do a little Mark and Princess research...
But, I do know this much. While watching the series back in the late 70's, I easily picked up on the subtle looks and gestures that Princess gave Mark. I kind of thought that Mark felt the same way, although he didn't show it. I was only 8 years old at the time, a child that didn't really understand the dynamics of men and women and relationships. It was the first time I really remember that boys could like girls and girls could like boys. I also remember having 'strange' feelings for Mark....
In any case, the Boomerang Network is airing a BOtP 24 hour marathon on April 25th. I have my DVR all ready to start downloading it onto its hard drive so that I can copy them all over to VHS. So, I will have plenty of hours of research ahead of me!

i remember * running * home from school so that i wouldn't miss it. when it got changed from showing in the afternoon to showing at 7:00 in the morning, i even got up early for it.
and for me, that was amazing. my mother was usually still trying to shake me away fifteen minutes before i had to leave for school. so you can see the depth of my hero worship.
i thought for * sure * Mark and Princess were going to kiss at some point. because of that, i always picked Jason as my favorite.
now that am older and working my way through Gatchaman, i think i can safely say would not kick either of them out of bed.

Um...did you mean BotP or Gatch? If you meant Gatch, there's a brand new subtitled set coming out soon, with GOOD translations and all the names correct!
