I'm sorry to say that when I heard the news I looked at my bookshelves and realized I hadn't kept a single Bradbury to reread. I too read Martian Chronicles as a boy and, along with Stranger in a Strange Land, got hooked on many of these classics. Led to all my Edgar Rice Burroughs, CS Lewis, Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clark addictions.
By the way, I ordered the Ray Bradbury Theater complete collection on Amazon. Was only $10.49 for all the episodes. Unfortunately, low quality in the transfer (or I remember it better than it actually was).
Now I'll have to order some of them on Kindle. Wasn't there a movie of The Martian Chronicles? Rock Hudson? I don't remember it as being stellar though...
