I have to disagree. My 9 yr old has a closet full of them.

Oh yeah, Land of the Lost! Damn Sleestacks that made that God awful screech when the light hit 'em! Didn't they look so real and the dinos, man that was something. Did anybody have ANY worries back then? Not me. Course, I wasn't watching them much because I would be hunting on Sat. mornings during the winter and dad would have our butts up before dawn to work in the garden in the summer.

Those were some good days.

The thing that is hard to find is comic books. I used to go to the drug store on Old Caton by the Sunflower store every saturday and get a new comic for a quarter. I started my eight year old and my five year old on them this Christmas. It was hard as hell to find them. I finally got them some Batgirl, Wonder Woman, Sabrina and Supergirl comics.

Hey yall remeber the six million dollar man and the three million dollar woman?

I have an attic full of Richie Rich, Beetle Bailey and Archie comic books. just can't bring myself to throw them away. It's funny you mention the Six million dollar man. When I 1st started reading this I remembered the first time I was aware of daylight savings time. It was a Sunday afternoon and I was playing outsode because it was still light. When I went inside and found out the 6 million dollar man show was already over I was pissed. It's funny how stuff like that sticks in your head.

Reading all these posts, and having all the memories come back, just reminds me of one thing - -

I AM GETTING OLD.

The good news is that everyone else here is too.

HA!
