Out of the Blue

September 2025 •English

Out of the Blue is an American teen sitcom that ran in syndication from September 1995 to February 1996. The series was filmed on location at SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida, and distributed by Tribune Entertainment. It is notable in that each of its twenty two episodes was filmed in both Spanish and English simultaneously and starred a predominately Hispanic cast of several different nationalities. The show was dubbed into German as Sommer Sonne Florida, and into Italian as Un salto nel blu, but was poorly-distributed and largely unknown in Germany, Italy, the USA, or Latin America. Among the show's young cast was Spanish fashion model Veronica Blume, whose budding real-life modeling career was occasionally incorporated into the show's storyline, and Paulo Benedeti, who would later play recurring roles on American soap operas.

We see pagan worship through the prism of generations of modern religious thought. Through history and prehistory, the representations of the ancient gods and traditions followed by pagans have been marred by propaganda from other religious groups eager to rein in those they defined as `wild barbarians`. In truth, the word pagan is a Roman term meaning `country folk`, and the general concept of paganism is of oneness with nature and a quest to fully understand the world around us.
