What happened to Encyclopedia Brown?!

[Yossarian]

Yeah I was totally into EB. I was also a big fan of Danny Dunn.

"Confronted with this fact and Dr. Dre?s fully loaded Glock, Bugs soon confessed to posing as a rap fan in an attempt to throw them off his trail." rofl!!!

Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Pirated MP3s

So funny and yet so sad at the same time. I like it!

Roger that.

Hahaha, those parodies of Encyclopedia Brown rock. Even the illustrations brought me back to my childhood days.

I loved EB

I don't think I remember them. But I did happen to catch Jack reading it on About Schmidt last night.

Not really, I remember reading them around 3rd grade, and I'm only 17. Then again, I am a nerd.

Nice. It bugged the heck out of me when they re-released those books minus the Alfred Hitchcock. Guess too many kids didn't have any idea who Hitch was.

Are you sure those were the Encylcopedia Brown books? I remember reading them. The fat kid was some former child star, and he and his friends had a clubhouse hidden behind a secret door in a junkyard fence.

I just looked it up. It WAS a different series:

Alfred Hitchcock & The 3 Investigators

They made him look less nerdy.
