Winky Dink

I believe he was Double Doody. :lifter :p

Magic Screen, had one and you had to draw on it to find the next episodes secret message, much like the magic decoder ring. :D

Perhaps, but I never watched Winky Dink. Maybe the Captain copied the idea. :confused:

I never heard of WD until today.

Yes Atomic Fireballs.
 

Read where they make them again. I think Michigan?

Made a bad choice one time to draw on the screen without the "magic screen" attached. I think my mother actually broke the wooden spoon on my back side on that fateful occasion.....

More TV nostalgia:

• Five Fingers
• The Third Man
• Zorro
• Annette Funicello

I not only remember taking the tubes in, but also remember going to the shoe store and after getting MY shoes which took 3 minutes max , having to wait for my sisters to get their shoes (which could take FOREVER - in kid time). While killing time, I'd stand on the big machine, stick my feet into the slots at the bottom, and watch my feet, with shoes around them on the "fluoroscope"! Wiggle my toes, move my feet - heck, I could entertain myself for a long time. Couple that with running behind the DDT fogging truck pretending I was in London, and I guess I am lucky to be alive!

I was thrilled when we moved to Phoenix lonnnng ago. Phoenix had the three network stations AND an "independent" channel - Channel 5, KPHO. No more "President on all 3 channels"!

Oh, yeah - 25/25... older than dirt. :)

In Junior High I worked as a stock boy in a shoe store. In the back we had one of the old Buster Brown fluoroscopes. I tried my damnedest to get that thing to work. I had big plans for the Science Fair. :eek: :D

19/25 But I sorta forget. . . somethings, sometimes.
Here is my trick for staying young-ish. (I think 45 is youngish).
When you're 45, talk your Reason For Living into having a baby boy. (Or did MRFL trick me into it? Maybe she just took the initiative -- with ME! Shad-dup, you!).
Call baby boy Little Dude. As he grows up teach him to play/love baseball, BoyScouts, School. (Notice you will play.love everything else he does.)
Then, since you have a really great job to do, just stop having Birthdays until he graduated from college. Piece of cake.:D

That 46/66 birthday in 2023 is going to be a little tough, might not be pretty.

Rembering when
 

The furniture sized radio...we sat around in the evenings. Amos & Andy, Jack Benny etc.

Finally got a black & white TV. Watched A-bomb tests, Ed Sullivan etc. My favorite show..."I led 3 lives".

Hand crank telephone with party line. Everyone on the road knew what was going on.

Hand crank clothes washer and of course wash board for the big sink.

Jeans with the cuffs about 6 inches high...guess I was supposed to grow into them.

Duck tail hair cut.

Box of long rifles for 50 cents.

No one locked their house.

Counter checks at the stores.

Diesl 13 cents, by the barrel

You are correct Sir !!!!! :p
