OT - 1970s flashback

My favorite was always the original Scooby Doo

[Don]

And I thought *I* was fucked up for watching Space Giants, Jonny Sokko and Prisoner Cell Block H.

Goldar rocked. I wanted to see Ultra bust up Sokko's robot.
My grandma loved cell block h.
I remember the screw, Vera.

[Triple S]

I remember my sister and I watching a show everyday before school, it was kind of a funny spoof variety show type thing. It had an Igor character and a Zodiak Astrology character and I think a witch that cooked things up in a big caldron too. Gawd, I can't remember the name of it, does it ring a bell with anybody else?

LOL, no it wasn't Witchypoo and HR Puffinstuff.....although we did watch that too.

I found it! It was called "The Hilarious House of Frightenstein".

It's a Canadian show! I think it still runs in syndication on some channel we get here - I'm sure I saw it just a couple of months ago either here or when I was in Vancouver.

LOL, no wonder nobody's heard of it. Looking at the clips now, it looks sooo stupid, but we watched it every morning getting ready for school.

Goldar was one tough motherfucker. Those finger rockets were really something. One of the local channels just started airing all of the old Jonny Sokko reruns. I DVR it every morning...it's on at 7 am and I'm already at work.

I just might have to do that! (I didn't realize Billy Van died in 2003 either).

Growing up outside Philly, it was Captain Noah on Sunday mornings and the Wee Willy Weber show after lunch on weekdays.

When I think of the 70s, couple of the first songs that came to mind..........

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX6zdrvmCw8 Roller
Then they went all 80s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7rbHmRq-SA
Roller still kicks butt LIVE. Myles Goodwyn and Rik Emmett.....both such great singer/guitar players.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-N2YkXChjQ This Flight Tonight
Great tune, but this one makes me laugh, look at everbody.....audience and band member.......they all look high as a kite. It looks like the same audience as Journey's Chicago Soundstage show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEtSiHJa0ZU

Good stuff!

Then there is my very first "frontman" crush. Me and a friend even wore little matching tartan scarves to our very first concert. I'm LMAO! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2gGS2CqROc

Girls used to pay me to draw portraits of the Bay City Rollers. LOL! They were ready for a flood!

[Arianddu]

I used to have SUCH a crush on this person...





Anyone remember this show?

I don't know - SLIME TIME!!!!!!

Er, that'll be a yes, then

Were you a fan of “Round the Twist”? As an adult I kind of enjoyed it.

I was already in senior High School and had a motorbike licence when it started so didn't really watch afternoon TV by then; too busy at rowing practice, windsurfing or out with my cousins and assorted friends causing mayhem or hanging out jamming and listening to music. Confess I always recorded YCDTOT, Degrassi and Press Gang, though. (And had a major crush on Alisdair )

I don't know what those other ones are, but you got Degrassi way down on the bottom of the world? Cool. I'm surprised we even got that in the States.

Yup - and a little depressed that 'Joey' is now bald. Now that made me feel my age!!

Don't feel bad--only the Chicago peeps will know about this one:

I used to watch Ray Rayner & Friends every morning before school. I even had a stuffed Cuddly Duddly. I used to love it when it would be close to Christmas and he would show the Hardrock, Coco, and Joe and Suzi Snowflake cartoons on that show.

[tammy]

The ORIGINAL Family Guy

"Wait 'til your father gets, wait til your father gets, wait til your father gets home"...I used to watch that show all the time. As far as I know it has never even been shown in re-runs.

Yep. we all loved Ray Rayner and friends...I loved it when he had the annual 'guess the jelly bean' contest and the winners come to the show to select a prize...the prizes being the crafts that Ray and Chauncy (off camera somebody) made throughout the year. Ray was so funny cuz he had glue every where and his crafts always looked like crap. The kids would always seem to choose Chauncy's better one.
But, wasn't it Garfield Goose/Frazier Thomas who had Hardrock, Coco and Joe and Suzy?

[tammy]

Please refrain from laughing. This is me and my daughter, she was about 6 months old at the time.
Ah, nevermind, laugh! I do! The Farah doo.

what you both look cute? remember Rula Lenska? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-SJoIpTPk8 nobody ever knew who she was or what she did but she acted like she was this huge star.

And, who remembers Psssssst hair stuff? That powdery white stuff you sprayed on when you didn't have time to wash your hair.

[KenTheDude]

I had a Lidsville lunchbox when I was a kid. I still have it somewhere.

[Saint John]

Lidsville sounds like a Cheech and Chong destination.

[Carla777]
