Ahhh, this is a thread after me own heart.
My earliest toy memories are of Army Men, Lincoln Logs, Candy Land, Sit-n-Spin, Pick-up Sticks, Jacks, Six-Million Dollar Man action figure, Evil Knievel action figure and wind-up motorcycle.
Also, Hula-hoops, and those lemon-looking things you put around your ankles and twirled them around yourself while skipping over them.
There were so-o-o many more toys, but it would take too long to list them.
TV shows: Saturday mornings were wonderful...and so many already mentioned...hmmm there was Shazaam, Bugs Bunny and the rest of the Looney Toons, Scooby Doo, Peabody and Sherman, Tennessee Tuxedo, Blue Falcon and Dyno-Mutt, Mighty Man and Yukk, Sigmund and the Sea-monsters, The Flintstones, The Bugaloos, Lost in Space, the Lost Saucer, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, Laffalympics, Wacky Races, Inch High Private Eye, Secret Squirrel, The Banana Splits, and so on...
I used to love watching all of the Saturday afternoon Westerns, too.
The Lone Ranger, The Rifleman, Big Valley (Linda Evans, hubba-hubba), Rawhide, Bonanza, Branded, Hondo, then there was the Tarzan tv series, Batman, The Green Hornet, Kung Fu, Wild Kingdom, and the list goes on...
Sunday's were always started with Davey and Goliath, and some guy named Bill that read the funny-pages on tv and it was sponsored by the Ft. Worth Zoo.
Also, anybody remember the book series, The Three Investigators? Great set of children's books.
Great thread.
