Remember These???

[unreal]

No, it's real, apparently.

It's real. That's what they're called here. Why? I dunno. But then Burger King is Hungry Jacks.

Remember them??? I don't think this was the group I grew up with, but they were around in the late 50s. Wikipedia says that all but three of them are still with us. Karen, Annette and Doreen.

What about photos pf Brittany, Justin, Christina as mouseteers? Weren't they?

Speaking of Bonds... What did you think of these guys???

My fave was Timothy Dalton. He was reputed to be more like what Flemming envisioned. Pierce was a bit like Roger and Timothy's love child.

The early ones are painfully misogynistic, at times bordering on rape. But I read that Flemming intended Bond to skew pretty hight on the pyschopathology scale, so that might be more in line with the books.

Remember her??? She's arguably the most well known actress in Hollywood still alive today. She's been Gidget, Sister Bertrille in The Flying Nun, Norma Rae, Mama Gump, Sybil, and Carrie, the runaway bride in Smokey and the Bandit. And that's just a few roles.

Disturbingly looks like my mother did at that age.

This was one of mine. I liked Lost in Space too. Actually, between the Seaview and Seaquest, I'd pick the Seaview.

And both those shows were better in their Black & White phase than their color phase. Same for Gilligan's Island, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, Get Smart, The Munsters. It's like the stories went "late 60's sill trippy" with the addition of color.

Remember them??? Everyone in this shot is still with us except Guy Williamson, Johnathan Harris and the B5 robot. I like the fact that Billy Mumy and Johnathan Harris were also stars on other Sci-fi shows like Babylon 5 and Battlestar Galactica. If you're wondering; Johnathan Harris played the Cylon Lucifer on Battlestar.

Just the voice

Remember this??? This was always one of my favorite WKRP episodes.

OMG, I remember that episode.

just a kettle to boil water to make a cuppa tea or cuppa coffee....

the article says that you guys just use a pan to boil water for a coffee...

I have a tea kettle, which I used to put water in, and place it on my stove for making tea or coffee (occasionally), but that changed when I got my first microwave, because I found it easier and faster to put a microwave safe cup full of water in, and then take it out and hang a teabag over the top edge until it was how I wanted it.

What about photos pf Brittany, Justin, Christina as mouseteers? Weren't they?

Yeah, but I think I was in my 30s or 40s by then.

He was also the doctor on The Love Boat.

Wasn't Captain Stubing, Merv on the Marry Tyler Moore show?

No need to remember. I still wear Chucks (and Vans) all the time.

I tend to buy Vans where they get an artist to design a pair. And they have a nice custom option where you can design your own. My "label" is WTF

(it stands for "Where's the Fun"... dirty minds )

Vans did a nice early Pandemic thing where they had Vans sellers design their own pair. Skate shops and such. They were available online, and proceeds going to help the businesses stay afloat during lockdowns. Very cool.

I like when brands work with artists to create something with a bit of personality.

Murray Slaughter.

That was it. Merv Griffith was a talk show mouthpiece.

That name would be rough to be introduced to strangers. "I'd like you meet Mr. Slaughter"

Maybe as a WWTF character. Although Murray is probably not the ideal first name for that occupation. That's only a step above Tutu. Tutu Slaughter.

Artemous and James. Dressed in authentic western wears.

Arnold Horshack, Vinnie Barbarino, Freddy "boom boom" Washington, Juan Epstein, and Mr Kotter (or Mista Kah-tair). With an excuse note from Jaun's mother's psycholiogist.

I just put Seasons 1-3 on my plex server. I still like the show

Kwai Chan Caine.

Or Bill, if you're younger than GenX.

Remember this???? It's the Monkeemobile! I would see it on their show on Saturday mornings. Hardly ever saw them drive it. So what happened to it????
An article at metv.com wrote this:
For some reason, the Monkeemobile was left behind Down Under. A quarter of a century later, the car mysteriously turned up in Puerto Rico, where it was being used at a hotel as a courtesy car. It has since been purchased by a collector.

That is one weird history for a car.

 

[unreal]

Remember this??? I always liked how they tied, Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, and Beverly Hillbillies together in the same universe.

It's actually a very nice show. No meanness. Even at the time, it was rose coloured memory of a time long gone (based on the producer's grandmother's (or mother's) stories, I think). It's on amazon or netflix. It really is a charmingly innocent time.
