February 20, 201016 yr Hardy Boys mystery books. Used to read them voraciously. Probably makes sense given what I do for a living. I tried to get my son interested in them a few years back and don't think he made it through one of them, which actually aggravated me quite a bit.
February 20, 201016 yr How about this oldie! I had a couple of these in my room back in the day. A Hanging Smiley Bird on 6-foot Spring. :banana: Anyone else remember them?
February 20, 201016 yr 1. Remember watching John Kennedy's funeral on tv 2. watching the Beatles first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show(1964) 3. Only 3 tv channels 4. The tri color plastic screen you could buy to put over your black and white tv to make it look like you had a color tv. 5. At 10 pm it would come on tv," Do you know where your children are?" 6. Remember a calculator costing hundreds of dollars 7. learning to add and subtract on a abacus in school.

February 20, 201016 yr How about This Man! I forgot about the Mickey Mouse club. That reminded me of Captain Kangaroo and The Bozo the Clown Show. Also Romper Room.

Remember a calculator costing hundreds of dollars 7. learning to add and subtract on a abacus in school. When I went off to college in 1973, my parents bought me a calculator that could add, subtract, multiply, divide and (gasp!) had a square root function. Only cost $79.99.
February 20, 201016 yr This thread really has brought back some good childhood memories. Anyone here ever play marbles? In St. Louis we would have a neighborhood championship.
February 20, 201016 yr Man! I forgot about the Mickey Mouse club. That reminded me of Captain Kangaroo and The Bozo the Clown Show. Also Romper Room.I remember those! Anyone in the greater Cincinnati remember PLAY IT SAFE? It was a Sunday morning kids' game show (WCPO) hosted by an actual police officer (who opened the show by blowing his whistle and saying 'Stop what your doing! It's time to... Play It Safe!'.) The game was played on a large-scale quasi-Game Of Life game board complete with a shuffling "number board" (which kids used to determine the number of spaces they moved by yelling 'stop!'- ala "Press Your Luck"), stop signs, dead ends and a judge/puppet who would dole out rewards or punishments (anything from going forward a number of spaces to going to jail.) to players who landed on certain spaces.

Never Fly today . How about the Skipper Ryle Show or Jim Thomas your Outdoor Guide
