Yeah you guys got it!

:thumbsup:

old TV shows like:
Battle of the Network Stars (it was actually a special and I loved it as a kid)

James at 15 (then 16) starring Lance Kerwin

Class of '65 it would go through a person's life from graduation in '65 to the 10 year reunion

Quincy Jack Klugman being Jack Klugman only solving murders and deaths as a pathologist/coroner

Scientists have determined that "pussification" was created from the Big Bang that occured when Lance Kerwin and Robbie Benson collided.

Well...that's what I heard.

I bet that more than half of you, maybe three quarters, BOR excluded, don't know what any of these shows were about.

Route 66
77 Sunset Strip
Dark Shadows with Barnabas Collins
Queen for a day
Authur Godfrey
Art Linkletter
The Green Hornet, well that waaaaaasssss a little later.

:lol: scary thing is I liked both as actors. Add Scott Baio, Adam Rich and Ralph Macchio... and you'd have quite the movie.

Watched them all and even remember silly things like "Cookie, Cookie, lend me your comb", or "Kids say the funniest things." Heh ::shuffles out of the room::

Revokes your man card and schedules your castration soon...

Don't even tell me you were a James at 15 fan? Good gawd that crap was worse than Family? melodrama central...

scott baio? Ok - well maybe because of the babes that he banged but chachi was no actor... :D

What a fun thread. I forgot about a lot of that stuff.

I remember the cartoon Gummi Bears and they drank the juice that made them jump really fast away from the enemy. They used to make the juice and I remember being disappointed that I couldn't jump like them, but I'd pretend to anyway.

Then there were the Shirt Tales...I remember they were animals living in a park and their shirts were magic, but I can't remember what they used them for.

And there was a cartoon with a caboose and a moose named Montgomery. I have no idea what the cartoon was or what is was about, but a little piece of my brain is used to remember that much of it I guess.

Someone mentioned Kids Incorportated...and now that song is stuck in my head. Thanks :p I'm hearing a loop of 'KIDS Incorporated K-I-D-S yes!'..it's quite annoying..lol

Garbage Pail Kids were also some of my favorites...but my mom hated those cards and threw them away...even the stash I hid because I knew she hated them. :(

I also had rollerskates with the pom-poms on the toes. Yea, I was a dork, but they were cool back then. And the little flicker things on my bike that made noise when you rode. I sometimes used baseball cards, but my cousin tore them off when he got mad at me. He felt bad afterwards though and gave me his skateboard...so it was a decent deal I suppose. :)

Banana clips, side ponytails and those round plastic things with the bar in the middle that we girls used to thread our shirts through to crop them up a bit..... MEMORIES........

Creeple People.

Bop bags.

Chinese handcuffs.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned hyper color Tshirts.

Beverly Hills Teens
Silverhawks
Ducktails

...because the gun that came with the caps NEVER worked longer than one or two pops.


We lived on a hill and put this thing down....Unfortunately there were a lot of trees at the bottom. No matter how centered we thought we had it, we'd always end up running into one. Good times, good times.

Caboodles
Banana seats
Rock tumbling kits

Who Remembers....

That feeling from getting a brand new 64 count box of Crayola crayons, with the sharpener on the back?

The smell of mimeograph paper?

Dick, Jane, Sally, Spot, Puff and Tim?

Handlebar streamers?

When you got a lollipop for sitting still at the barber?

When they would clean your windsheild, check your oil, and check the air pressure in your tires whenever you filled your gas tank?

The dark indigo, wear like iron, stiff as a damn board rigidness of a brand new pair of Sears Toughskins...every September?

The smell of a pile of burning leaves in the Autumn?

When going for "groceries" entailed 3 seperate stops...the butcher shop, the grocer, and the bakery?

Thats one of the first things that got me started on this thread...

BOR do you remember Buster Browns to go with those tough skins???:lol:

Buster Browns


http://www.hakes.com/product_images/.../001_small.jpg

How about being thrown into piles or jumping into piles of leaves every autumn?

I remember that Cabbage Patch Craze!!
Was in my senior year of high school in 1983, working in retail.
KRAY-ZEE, nutty people. Clamoring over each other to get in possesion of those dolls.:eek:

Buster Brown and his dog Tige?

You betcha I do. ;)

Beer can collections and to go with that....

Billy Beer.

and captain midnight's secret decoder ring...(c'mon, b(o)(o)bby...)

I still drink that stuff!!! Have some on my kitchen counter right now. :lol:

The Night Stalker, the tv show, not the murderer.

Also:
They filled your gas tank, no extra charge!

Eight is Enough (which I believe was followed by American Hero!), Feather Earrings, Parachute Pants!

Move to the great state of NJ - self serve gas is illegal :D


the night stalker was one show that used to really give me nightmares... scary stuff..

what's scarier though is the vh1 the 70s series... it remember entirely too much :D

I remember Crystal Pepsi! Whatever happened to it?

we "watched" JACK ARMSTRONG THE ALL AMERICAN BOY on the radio...
that is until some idiot bombed a place called Pearl Harbor, and then all we
could get was the news that next week...

Night owl theater was the first thing we watched on TV, and that was through
the window of the store down town...

----and Easter Sunday, 1964----pumped gas for 19 cents a gallon--ran the
tanks dry...

Hey viejo, I remember when Kennedy was shot. No cartoons for what seemed like forever. Bought gas in high school during a price war for 15 cents a gallon one time.

Reminds me of the Robot Chicken episode where chucky hides out in a cabbage patch....the dolls get up and eat him. Was pretty funny.

Anyways, those dolls have always creeped me out. Glad my sister didn't play with them.

Pop rocks was going to get my vote. That and having baseball cards that actually were fun to collect and trade and flip against a wall with your buddies ... winner getting the card that was closest to the wall -- leaner get a bonus card!

Oh yeah... and Lisa Schnieder -- wow did I like her. :D:love:

Vinyl... and recording vinyl to those new fangled cassettes...

The first sony walkmans...

8-Track

casey kasems america's top 40 - keep reaching for those stars..

Denny terrio's dance fever...

that other show with the scantily clad dancers that usually wore gold lame

amercian bandstand-- yah, it's got a great beat but you can't dance to it...

Land sharks- roseanne roseannanadanna - a wild and crazy guy- hans and franz pumping you up... saturday night live when it was funny.
