and now for something different...

[Steve83]

Walking to school was a thrill!
Spider bikes with banana seats and sissy bars
Lots of 45 RPM records
Cap'n Crunch
Captain Kangaroo and the ping pong balls
Watching JFK's funeral at school
School started in September and ended in May
22 cents-a-gallon gas
The first TV show I saw in color - Bozo
Nixon vs Humphrey
My dad driving up in a brand-new '62 Bel Air station wagon

 

[Omega Man]

I was on a show called Romper Room! :music:

~O~

 

[Steve83]

Cool! A family friend was the local host on Romper Room.

 

[scdmarx]

I had the hots for Miss Maryann.

 

[joedrum]

the Atlanta pop festival ....everything else was way behind period ...what a special time and freedom that was ....greatest thing my eyes ever seen ....

 

[mwbill37841]

[dan filipi]

I had the hots for Miss Maryann.

Yeah, and she always had the tight shorts on, mercy me!

Hmmm... Maybe it was the milk and cookies?

 

[scdmarx]

don't forget kent state shootings. chicago rioits, cinncinnati rioits, .peace marches.

I lived 6 blocks away from this happening. The line was drawn at Century Blvd and we lived on 106th St.

 

[Steve83]

JFK, RFK and MLK killings. As cool as the 60's were, there was plenty of bad, just like now. It seems as though humanity will never learn to just get along.

But - mmmmm, those shorts on Mary Ann! And Ellie Mae! And Goldie Hawn!

 

[scdmarx]

Almost forgot Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Wizard.
The creator of Gumby, Art Clokey, lived a couple blocks over from me.
And the pioneer of TV exercise, Jack LaLane, lived here too.
All of these guys died just in the past 3-5 years.

 

[Ansimp]

Gumby was my daughters favourite toy 23 years ago :yes:

 

[AApple]

"Hello?"
"Hey, man...it's Dave...whatever you do man...DON'T-answer-the-phone, OK? Don't answer the phone!"
"Whut? Dave? Naw man...Dave's not here, man....."
"No, maaaan....I'm Dave...just don't answer the phone, man"...
"Whuuut? Dave's not here, man...."

About a month ago I discovered "Hey, watch this" on Netflix.
They seem to be doing the same old stuff, but it never gets old.
