Growing up

[AZCEP]

what was Gargamel's cat's name?

Azrael. The Smurfs spinoff--the Snorks, the Justice League of America("Wonder twin powers activate!")

"Tastes great! Less filling!" with John Madden bursting through the Miller Lite logo--"And another thing!"

Star Wars episode IV without Jabba the Hut. GI Joe with Kung Fu action grip.

The Super Bowl Shuffle, Harvey's Wallbangers in Milwaukee, no hockey in AZ or FL( I mean really, WTH?!)

Just to go back even further, waiting for the picture tube in the TV to warm up before the picture came on.

I can still remember Lee Majors as the Six Million Dollar Man and as the Fall Guy

[Skuter]

"We can rebulid him!!"

Lindsay Wagner as the Bionic Woman. She was hot a-la Stevie Nicks.

September 12, 1960, as Hurricane Donna was causing a coastal tidal surge in my neighborhood, and I'm at a friend's house playing with a "Robot Commando."

Anyone else remember that toy?

[Alcomedicism]

I think my brother got that toy one year for his birthday because I remember a little toy robot that had fake guns on its hands

[Guest]

I had a mechanical robot that drew things... put markers in his hands and let him go... I don't know what his name was though.

You know you're REALLY old if you grew up watching only 3 TV channels, no cable.

Also if they hadn't started saying PSYCH yet. (It's not SIKE.)

June Lockhart as Timmy & Lassie's mom.

And who cried when Lassie came home?

I get a kick out of watching my little cousins "discover" all of the toys from the 80's that are getting reinvented and redistributed out to a new generation. It's a walk down memory lane for us and they just think we're either old or crazy, I know I still have a bunch of my 80s toys that are collector items now.

And what's up with classic songs being redone ? I know it always happens but they never ever sound as good the second time around!!
